Before opening Pawfessional the owner Kim was the head veterinary technician at a local animal hospital, so she is trained in animal care and health issues, and is able to care for special need pets (geriatric, arthritic, etc.) In addition to grooming, she also does anl gland expressions and teeth cleaning, and provides boarding and pet sitting service. I have 4 dogs and really appreciate being able to bring them to a groomer who is a certified vet. technician and is able/qualified to give me the heads up on any health issues (teeth, etc.). I had a health issue with one of my beagles and needed to get a second opinion from a different vet and Kim provided excellent advice in choosing another vet. She also does a great job grooming and caring for my dogs and I would highly recommend pawfessional.
Pros: trained vet tech, wide range of services, open saturday

I've had bad experiences with groomers....groomers whom my friends take their dogs to religiously and swear by. My biggest complaint with most is that they insist on ignoring my requests....I do not like my dog's hair cut except in areas where it helps keep him clean. Twice I've had him leave the groomers looking suspiciously like Ringo Starr in the late 60s. Kim at Pawfessional listened carefully to my requests, and called twice during his appointments with suggestions (such as shaving his belly, which was very helpful) to make absolutely sure it was okayed before just grabbing the clippers. She also treats my dog with affection, does a painstakingly thorough job on his coat, is friendly and welcoming, and charges very reasonable rates. I've been in grooming salons that are much more posh, but I personally care more about the result than the ambience. Unfortunately I happen to live about 300 miles away, so I make sure to schedule appointments when I'm visiting my parents in the area. For me, the peace of mind is worth the trip and the wait.
Pros: Resonsible, Knowledgeable and Attentive Service
Cons: The location is a bit hard to find
