Bathe Your Buddy

I went to «Bathe Your Buddy» this morning with a beautiful Catahoula mix from the Livingston County Humane Society. (Sierra) The owner of the shop, Julie, was absolutely wonderful and very helpful. She had three towels, a washcloth, hypo-​allergenic oatmeal soap, brush and cotton balls with ear wash all at the ready — and standard — for my use. There are also two adjustments on the dryer, if your dog is a little skittish, which I found very helpful. Before we left, my pockets were filled with treats, my charge for that day had on a new scarf and a quick spritz of deodorizer before we left. All for a very reasonable price! I’ll be bringing more dogs from the Humane Society for sure.

Unfortunately, I have to update and downgrade because they have cancelled on us twice, on the same day we had an appointment. Not only did we not get an apology they didn’t even offer to re-​book asap even though THEY cancelled last minute. They said they could get her in about two weeks later! Totally unacceptable.
Getting a poodle in to be groomed has to be booked in advance because it takes time, it’s not just a bath they need a lot of maintenance that is important to their overall health. So it’s not like we can get her in somewhere else at the last minute when they cancel. Having an appointment cancelled last minute really messes up the schedule. The first time, it was annoying but stuff happens. When it happened again though, that’s when it’s time to take our business elsewhere. This is unfortunate because we were happy with the service, but we need a place that’s reliable also.

Excellent service, great price. I have my Pomeranian done here every few months and they do an amazing job. Ask for Amanda! You can tell she loves dogs and really makes them feel at home.

Although I recently moved to Waterford, I still try and take my lil’ cockapoo to Bathe Your Buddy every now and then. Everyone in my family takes their dogs to this quaint little shop next to Memories. The groomers are sensitive, loving, and willing to talk to you about your preferences for your pets hair cut. They also love to share stories about their pets and hear stories about yours:). They offer oatmeal based non-​allergic, hypoallergenic shampoo that is awesome and helps with dog allergies (very good if you are sensitive to perfumes). BYB is very helpful when it comes to pick-​up times as well, if I can’t come on-​time or I know I might be late, they have no problem holding my dog for a few extra hours, very, very cool!
