A Bath and a Biscuit

I took my dog, Stella to them and they did a fantastic job on her grooming. Her ears are difficult to pluck and groomers usually complain about this. Petco once refused to do them! But she did a great job. I drive from portland to take my dog there.

Having just moved to the area, and driving by here everyday, my partner talked me into trying Bath and a Biscuit. I was surprised when I mentioned one of our dog breeds and she knew what kind of dog I was talking about (where as most have no idea what kind of dog I’m talking about). Long story short my 2 girls looked great! Even after all my crazy phone calls after I dropped them off, Maria didn’t seem annoyed or anything, from what I gathered she has tons of knowledge. I would highly recommend Bath and a Biscuit.

Maria did a wonderful job grooming «Buddy» my long haired dachshund mix. I’ve taken Buddy to other groomers in Vancouver and his hair always looks choppy. I was really impressed with how smooth Buddy’s coat looked. Maria really knows how to cut hair!

I have been bringing both my Yorkie and my Papillion to Maria for well over a year now. She does an excellent job with both of my boys. She has even gone as far as taking them with her when I had an emergency during their last appointment and could not get there before she closed. She took my boys to her home! I usually call on a last minute basis and she does a great job of fitting us in. Her prices are the best in town for sure. Something that is extremely important to me is the time frame. When Maria tells me they will be ready at a specific time… they are. I can always depend on that. My last groomer… never. That’s why I no longer go there.

When I walked in the place was very dingy looked dirty. Maybe it was too uninviting for me but to a dog it should not matter. I felt the owner was rude and not personable. I felt nervous leaving my dog there alone. She was rude to me and very grabby with my dog. I felt she treated it like a job. She did not comfort my terrified dog she just grabbed him and started clipping away. I would not recommend this place to anyone very unprofessional and with the million dog groomers in the area I rather take my dog to a professional that he is excited to see. Not afraid of. Guess the owner does not like new business.

We’ve taken our two small dogs to Maria a few times now and she does a stellar job every time. I’m actually sort of stunned at how good they look and the skill shown in the cuts. Better than other cuts they’ve received elsewhere. Maria is also very kind and understanding with my three legged, very anxious guy. We’re so glad we found her!

Best place in Vancouver. My havanese, Joey, was treated so well. He looked so clean and professional. It was inexpensive, and they even gave him the cutest bow tie and scarf! I am excited I finally found a good place for my boy to get cleaned for less money but not less quality :)

This is a new groomer to us. I took my dog here once and he came home very nicely groomed. He was quite matted and in very bad shape but they did a great job. Granted he is a very temperamental dog when faced with a groomer, growls and snaps. But after a while he calms down. When we took him here the first time there were no complaints about his temperament and no calls complaining about his tangled fur.
Today was a different story. Shortly after I dropped him off they called and said he was too matted and needed to be cut short, down to the skin. They could not do the cut I requested. I agreed to have him given the short cut. I really didn’t know what else to do. It has been almost 2 months since he was last groomed. But none of us felt he was that bad. In 14 years, I have never had a groomer call to complain how tangled he was. Never have I received a call that he was so bad they couldn’t give him the cut we wanted. And believe me, this dog has been in worse shape before and no one has refused to groom him properly.
Today, I picked him up and he looks unrecognizable. I was shocked. This time he came home looking like a rat! And we endured many complaints about him while picking him up. Searching again for an experienced groomer with better skills.
We will not be back.
