What Our Clients Are Barking About

★★★★★

Five stars and four paws up! My pup got his first haircut there this week and it’s the best cut he’s had in ages! The setting is intimate and cozy and dogs get to spend their time hanging out with other pups and getting lots of attention. I also love that it’s a family business and the team works so well together.

★★★★★

Took my almost 10-year-old Wire Fox Terrier there for the first time and was very pleased with how he looked. Terriers can be challenging to groom and he looked ready for the show ring! We will definitely be using Pooches and Smooches going forward.

Eric M.

★★★★★

The best groomer in town! They stayed after hours to get his mats out and to get his hair cut perfect even on Easter weekend ! They updated me throughout the process and took such great care of my puppy. He was incredibly happy and enjoyed playing with the other pups. He’s never looked this good before. Thank you so much again.
