“My large dog Chief is a rescue and former breeding dog with anxiety. He is nervous about everything and also now a senior at 12. I first found Dotties in 2022 when we felt his anxiety was managed enough to try his first groom while in our care. I was also nervous as he is scared of new people - not aggressive, but can shut down a little.<br>Dottie's has been a great grooming experience. They really take their time with him, especially as he's gotten older and started having more issues standing the whole time during his groom due to hip arthritis. They also do a great job with the groom in general - his coat always looks amazing when he comes home. As a German Shepherd and a major shedder, his regular grooms keep his coat healthy.<br>Dottie's takes pictures of your pets in front of seasonal backdrops after each groom. My dog doesn't always photograph well or cooperate well with the pictures, but they are a nice little treat for us owners. Having an album of dog pictures to look at is a nice memory.<br>For the December 2024 holiday season, they did paw print gifts for pet parents, which I thought was a really sweet gift.<br>I would recommend this shop for anyone who needs a big dog groomer and/or someone who needs understanding and compassionate staff for their nervous pup. We will definitely take any future dogs to Dotties as well!<br>They also have a cat groomer - I've never used this service, but I know it can be hard to find cat groomers at independent pet grooming salons.”
