I took my elderly dog here today for her first grooming since being barred by her previous groomer for becoming aggressive. Carol was great and, with a lot of patience and expertise, she was able to get my dog groomed and looking great! Everyone in the shop was friendly and helpful, and they have great pet products! Highly recommend.
Animal Connection moving to IX has become one of the highlights of 2020 for us! We often take a walk down to treat our pup, get his nails trimmed, or use the dog wash. It has even been a great space to bring our shy foster dogs to get them out of their shells a bit, and to meet potential adoptive families! When we walk by and the shop is closed, our dog still excitedly rushes to the door hoping to get in. Great shop!
This was our first grooming experience with Animal Connection LLC and I have to say, I am over the moon. Our sweet old man came back looking like a million bucks--ears cleaned, nails buffed, bathed, brushed, clipped (right down to his old man toe hair haha), smells incredible, looks (and probably feels) about 10 lbs lighter with all the dead undercoat they removed!! Considering all they did on him and the amount of time it took, they were very affordable, and service was top notch! Everyone my husband and I have spoken to on the phone and interacted with were friendly and professional! Can't wait to have our Great Pyrenees done next weekend!!! Thank you guys SO much!!
I LOVE this store! Not only do they carry the highest quality pet foods and pet care products, but they are so knowledgeable about pet health and offer sound, experienced advice. They are a trusted part of my pet care team. These days itβs more important than ever to shop local, so leave the big box stores for someone else and keep our local community thriving.
