Extremely unprofessional business from start to finish. I had a terrible experience bringing my cat here.
I was quite excited to bring my beautiful long haired cat here for a bath. She is a rescue and has some greasy areas so we wanted to give her a fresh start with a professional bath and brush out.
The issues began before we even showed up for the appointment. The morning of our appointment, they asked me to come in at 12pm instead of 12:45pm that I had scheduled. I agreed, and then received a text confirming my appointment at 11:45am. I thought surely that was a mistake, and prepared to get there in time for my appointment at 12pm. At 11:52am, I received a call asking if we were coming to the appointment. How uncomfortable for me when I was not even late for my appointment, someone just logged it in their system for the wrong time.
I found it confusing on their website what is for cats and what is for dogs, so I emailed them to confirm what I had booked was correct, to which they responded word for word as “Yes, that is correct.✅”. 2 separate people texting me confirming this appointment, I received 2 confirmations the days leading up to this appointment. Only when I showed up for the appointment, was I told what I had booked was incorrect (only for dogs) and what I needed was in fact almost DOUBLE the price of what I had booked. ($75 to $130)
10 minutes after we dropped her off, I received a text saying she was ready to be picked up. I immediately called them because I had only dropped her off 10 minutes prior, as I thought surely this was a mistake. On the phone, they told me they couldn’t bathe her and told me to come pick her up.
That’s fine if you couldn’t bathe her, but more communication and options would have been very much appreciated. They soaked her with water and she supposedly freaked out, which is understandable if they couldn’t bathe her then, but this is where they stopped everything. They didn’t offer to do anything further - dry shampoo/wipe her instead, dry her, or even brush her (which are all options on their website). Instead of offering other services, they shoved my soaking wet cat in her carrier, so scared, and texted me that she was ready to be picked up.
When we got home, she was SHIVERING and looked like a wet rat (pictures attached in this review). The lack of care taken for not only my cat, but for me as a customer, who trusted these people to care for my cat, is concerning.
We also brought her here because they offered a teeth brushing service add on, which they didn’t even attempt according to the receptionist. When I asked if they could try, she said she wasn’t sure, and when we arrived to pick her up, of course they hadn’t brushed her teeth.
Very long story short - we are out $75 and didn’t get anything that we came for. Sure, they completed some services (and made sure to charge us accordingly for those services!), but we would never have come if we didn’t want our cat bathed, DRIED and brushed, which absolutely did not happen. She looks worse than she did when we brought her there. What a horrible experience and waste of our Saturday afternoon.
