They do a superb job grooming, never had a clipper burn, ever! My dog went to them his whole life. They met his needs no matter what he had going on esp. as he aged. He loved getting groomed by Little Shop and they loved him. They brought out his regal poodleness.

Brought a very anxious and nervous dog here to get her nails cut. The last place I brought her to, she was so scared she pooped on the table and you could see the anxiety in her eyes during the whole process. But when I brought her to Little Shop of Howlers, she didn't even tinkle and she looked surprisingly comfortable on the table. The facility is nice and open, the staff looks like they're happy to be there and have not lost their love for dogs. AND her nails look like they were cut professionally! The only time nails are cut this good is at a vet's place. After trying multiple grooming businesses, I HIGHLY HIGHYLY recommend this place.

I took my long haired cat recently for a groom and let me tell you they’re cat whisperers. This is the calmest I’ve seen my cat after a grooming appointment, it definitely seemed as if he just came back from a day at the spa. The front staff was very professional and asked all of the right questions to ensure my fur ball received all of his grooming needs. Extremely happy with the results, will definitely be coming back!

I love the care and grooming they provide to my poodle. The location is convenient with a nice open space. The staff are very pleasant, attentive and professional - the love the dogs and cats that visit for grooming. My dog is excited to visit and always comes out looking great. He is happy afterward. The price is very reasonable without pressure for a reschedule within a set time frame. Check them out!

Our puppy has been going to the Little Shop of Howlers for a few months now and she always comes back happy and beautifully groomed! They keep notecards for each customer and know that she doesn't like the blow dryer, so they're super patient and understanding about the pet's needs. That and I loooove how great she smells when she comes back! Thanks Little Shop of Howlers!

We have an uncommon dog which requires a clip that few groomers know how to do. Erin is a master of this and other clips. Not surprising since she competes in grooming competitions. Tina is great and very responsive. The whole experience is easy, friendly and professional. Our pup always looks gorgeous!

Our 12 1/2 year old Samoyed has been going to this groomer for over 10 years. They do a wonderful job, are very kind to the animals they service and are so professional. Nice people who do great work.

I really enjoy when we can bring our cats, Pickles and Peppers, to this grooming establishment. Pickles is a tortie calico and doesn't need grooming often, but Peppers is a long haired cat and several times a year needs certain areas of her fur cut down immensely. The staff is very skilled, and friendly and there is tons of parking which is a plus for me. It is worth the money in my opinion! She never seems stressed when we bring her home, another awesome plus.

They did a fabulous job on my 13 year old golden. They were patient with him and his needs, true animal people. He did not seem stressed when I picked him up, which is unusual for his grooming.

My cat Björk is not known for having a friendly demeanor... so I was really worried about bringing her to a groomer. (More worried for the groomer than my cat!) The only groomer I found in the area that would take cats was Little Shop of Howlers, so I gave them a call. I'm so glad I found Little Shop of Howlers! I've been taking Björk for the past year, and I have had no problems. I love that the shop gives me the choice of staying during the appointment so I can not only watch the process but also take Björk directly home (she's not a big fan of leaving the house). The staff has always been helpful, courteous and treated my cat well. They keep her calm and I am always shocked to see my usually aggressive cat lay back and relax while they shave her.

Always such a friendly conversation with the staff who is very aware that my dog has a bit of anxiety when it comes to nail trimming. Nice easy process as they take walk ins for nails too!

Great place for your fuzzy buddies. Did a wonderful job on my GSD. Right across the parking lot from Paw's N Effects... Another great place for pets... My pooch is alumni. 🐕🐩

I was hopeful about this groomer because someone had recommended them to me but my experience was not the same as others for these reasons:1. They never picked up the phone, and didn’t call back in a timely manner2. Cut our puppy’s hair around his ears unevenly3. Didn’t even remotely follow the photos or instructions we had asked for when giving him his hair cut even though we had confirmed twice that the groomer would be able to use the photo for guidance

Nice little place. My dog is very difficult when it comes to bathing and the self wash is prefect for us. Staff is great and always very kind
