I found Micah years ago after my little bichon had a very bad experience with a groomer in Phoenix. Now he only goes to Micah. Though he can be prickly, she loves him up and handles him beautifully. I started taking my old mixed breed for a bath and brush too and she comes home a new dog. In the last year I have added a large sheepadoodle to the mix. Quite a handful. Micah is the only one I would trust with my dogs!!!
I moved from Santa Fe last October and only found Micah right before I left as I needed Cooper’s nails trimmed. She is so professional and caring about her work that I was sorry I hadn’t met her years ago. I was back in Santa Fe for seven weeks this summer and immediately went to her, again for a nail trimming. I made an appointment with her to have Cooper fully groomed and could not have been more impressed. She introduced me to a technique called hand stripping, which is especially good for terriers and thins the undercoat. Cooper has never looked better!! Micah was professionally trained, and certified, which many groomers are not. I recommend A Dog Different...read full review
The best price for grooming in Santa Fe!!
Mica is excellent at what she does has professional courtesy and can schedule with in 1-2 weeks. Clean open area for the dogs in her care. Business is located in a quiet central spot off early street. She was attentive to the details of my elderly poodles ears and mobility limitations. Stress free service!
