This is as good as it gets! I have never taken Curly ( a Bichon poodle) to any other groomer so I can't compare but she is my first puppy and I didn't know what I was doing. Her fur was a mess as she'd been in the pet store far too long. \nMarley made her so comfortable that she now loves when the trailer pulls up. She's had the spa treatment every month for the last year and I think it is well worth the money. She comes back smelling lovely and adorable style. Always a cute bow or bandana on to complete her look. I see Marley treat my puppy like it was her own dog.. she gives her so much love and attention! I highly recommend this company to all my friends!
