Pup In A Tub

Friends had dog in for trimming, She was not just trimmed, she had crew cut and parts of her was shaved clean. Dogs have not been herself since.
DO NOT GO HERE

We are visiting in the Bradenton, FL area with our 4 year old Golden Retriever. She was smelling a little «doggy», so we decided to have her groomed at Pup In A Tub. First, they told us $ 25-​$ 30 dollars, but charged $ 40 when we picked her up. We told them we didn’t want anything taken off her tail feathers, but they really trimmed her there. Worse, they shaved her anal area so close, she’s been spending the last 3 days just licking her butt. We’ve consulted with our Vet at home, and have purchased $ 15 worth of meds for her. She’s slowly getting better, but this has been a traumatic experience for both her & us. When we told them of what happened, they admitted they shaved her too close, said they were sorry, and to let them know how she was doing. Guess what? Queenie loves her groomer at home in Elgin, Il and I’ll never let butchers like this groom any dog of ours. Rating– PATHETIC !!

I have taken my pups here since day one. The service is satisfactory and they sell a plethora of natural pet products which I like. The price is very reasonable. I have pomeranians which other groomers usually charge an arm & a leg for. One thing that knocked their rating down a little is the staff– they are not very friendly. My dog is very timid and they don’t do much to comfort him. They pretty much grab his leash and drag him to the back. Also, their hygiene — - A few times I have been in. one of the employee’s baby was there rolling around in a kiddy car barefoot amongst all of the pet hair.
