Review of FOUR PAWS

Took my seriously uncooperative dog for the first ...

Took my seriously uncooperative dog for the first time for a self-serve bath.

Nice big raised tubs so you don't break your back leaning over.

They have a wide selection of shampoos, plenty of towels, all of the things you could possibly need- like the rubber thing used to scrub the dog, a shedding brush. There was even a blow dryer for after bath and toweling blow dry. They also provided an apron so I wouldn't get wet and gross. They also have the attached to the wall leash things so they don't get away while doing the most dreaded thing ever to dogs.

I may just be excited because I'd never been to one before, but once I finally got her up the ramp it was actually not bad to give her a bath. And oh my gosh the amount of loose fur that came off her was immense. I had to empty the drain strainer 5 or 6 times. She really needed a bath, I guess.

Then, on top of all of that awesomeness, there's a lady that trims nails. She was really patient with her while we did my dog's close-second most hated thing. The lady switched back and forth between the Dremmel and plain clippers when my dog would start folding her paws underneath. That took a pretty long time, but totally worth it.

The bath was $10 and the nails were $12 (or vice-versa). So a whole $22 and I didn't have to leave her all day at some groomer that would easily been 3 times the price.

They have a really nice, chi-chi pet store that the bathing area is attached to. My wife and I just moved here from Austin, TX and we're looking for a pet supply store just like this so we can get the really good (read expensive - wife's choice, not mine, but I indulge) pet food.

If your dog needs a bath or you're looking for good dog (or other pet) food, this place will certainly satisfy both. :)
