It's a Ruff Life

We absolutely love It’s a Ruff Life! Finding a groomer who truly understands doodles is not easy, but they consistently do an incredible job. One of our boys is very timid, yet he gets genuinely excited when he sees the team which says everything about the care and trust they’ve built. They treat our dogs like their own, always do fantastic work, and go out of their way to remember us. It’s such a personal, welcoming experience every time. Highly recommend!

It was my puppy’s first time getting her nails trimmed at a grooming salon. They were done in less than 5mins. The groomer’s kept praising my pup. They also had cute homemade bandanas. The pricing is very reasonable here. Thank you for doing my pup’s nails so I don’t have to do them at home anymore! No more clacking & sliding on the hardwood floors.

I would recommend “It’s a ruff life” to anyone with dogs. Today was my second visit to the salon. The first visit was at Christmas time. With children and family visiting, I had no time to bath the dog. I took him in and he came home smelling amazing and looking wonderful. My in-laws complimented how nice he looked. Today was my second time. I have a large golden retriever who was sprayed by a skunk last night. Absolutely awful! I called and not only did they get me in right away but he smells amazing and skunk free now. There is no way that I would’ve been able to do that on my own. They are professional, amazingly skilled, and Surprisingly reasonable. If you are shopping around for a dog groomer your shopping will end here. They are wonderful and I will absolutely be back……. Hopefully not for skunk reasons though. 😂

I came to get my Australian Shepard groomed a few months ago. I didn’t leave a review because , I get that businesses have bad days and I felt bad. But i’m leaving one now because I met a few other Australian Shepard owners that had the same issue at this business, and I felt i’d be doing a disservice to anyone else coming in with an Aussie . I asked for a trim, no more then an inch, and to mostly focus on his paws and (butt) hairs and cleaning. When we got him back he was completely shaved down and it was very choppy. It took a months for his coat to grow back in properly. The staff was friendly and got us in last minute, so we really appreciated that. But groomers should know that Australian Shepard should not be shaved unless specifically asked. It can ruin their coat and cause it to grow in poorly . An Aussies undercoat is so important! I really hope that this review helps the staff to recognize and fix an issue that’s happened to a handful of Australian Shepard owners. EDIT: First off; I wasn’t asking for anyone to fix it or a refund , since I pointed out it’s been a few months. Three separate situations with the same breed and I feel as if you are just making excuses for poor quality. NOBODY called or said ANYTHING to me about it being cut that short or notify me about any dangers of cutting too short , probably because what I specifically asked for was to please not cut more then and inch, not to only leave an inch, or shave my dog. (His hair in many areas was uneven and cut much less then an inch as seen in the pictures). I understand that the “customer isnt always right” in some of these situations , but the blatant disregard and excuses for my concerns is very underwhelming.

This was our second time taking our puppy ( mini aussiedoodle) in to this groomer. The first time we were happy with it as she only had very partial trimming done to get her used to the experience and a nail filing/ trimming that was good quality. We were told that she did “really well” in this second appointment. She had full grooming at yesterday’s appointment. We got a short cut at this appointment but it is not even throughout. she has wavy hair and her hair was cut uneven and her nails are still sharp after the full service appointment we paid and requested. For the service we overpaid and we are not happy customers. We plan on taking our business elsewhere.
