A Good Dog Grooming:
My experience with Susie's Petclipet, is a good one. I have two 9 month Maltesse puppies. They get very matted. I take them to this shop because, Susie is very gentle, and patient with them. She takes great care not to hurt them, quite the opposite. I have been going to Susie's Petclipet for years with my prior dogs. Its because that special care, she gives!. returning to Susie's Petclipet.

I won't be using Susie's Clipet in the future...:
I rescued a senior chow/samoyed mix from a local shelter that was deaf and had cataracs. She was only 30lbs and was adorable. She had been neglected by her prior owners and was really coming around. She even started to wag her tail and jump up to greet me. Even though she was nearly blind she would spend hours walking around the yard and climbing the steps into the house. I had placed bright white tape on edges of steps and other areas that posed a danger so she could navigate safely. She was constantly on the move.
Her thick coat needed to be shaved desperately so I took her to Susie's. When I dropped her off at 10am I emphasized the obvious fragility of the dog. When I picked her up late in the afternoon she was noticeably traumatized and looked like a poodle. To add insult to injury I paid the $50 bill with 3 twenty dollar bills and my $10 change was given as a five and five ones. She was expecting a tip!
My dog was never able to stand for more than 15 seconds after getting groomed. Her back legs would swing around and until she was in the sitting position. She could pick herself up and walk but if she stopped they would not support her. Sadly, she never waged her tail again and never jumped up to greet me either. She declined even further and was unable to stand altogether. She was developing sores where she sat and defecating on herself. I had a mobile vet come out to my house last week and I had her euthanized. She is now buried in my back yard..Needless to say, I will not be using Susie's Clipet services in the future.
