Kevin and Friends

kevin seems nice enough and I took my wheaten there once for a bathe and brush out. I requested they give her some treats I brought which they said they would. When I returned, the treats weren’t touched and he said she wouldn’t eat any. I thought that was odd because unless she was extremely scared, she would have eaten them. (They may have just forgotten about it because he grabbed them from the same place i had put them down). She looked great though so I let it slide.
Many months later, I made an appointment to get her groomed there. When we walked in she immediately started shaking and trying to leave. Kevin sat there with me for a few minutes, but I ended up leaving without getting her groomed. I didn’t want to traumatize her. He didn’t charge me which was nice, however, it left me with a bad feeling that she was so scared. I have been to other groomers and not had that problem. It could have been something loud or specific that happened the last time that scared her, but it made me uncomfortable that she reacted like that.
Anyway, I kind of thing it depends on your dog. If he/​she is nervous or new to the grooming process, you may want to try somewhere else where they will take the time and be extra gentle. If your dog needs to be groomed regularly, you don’t want to have it be a traumatic experience! That being said, he seemed nice enough and the price is great, so if your dog is low key about getting groomed, might try it out. The lady at put together pooch is more expensive, but super gentle and dog whispery if you are concerned.

I recently adopted a 10 year old Chihuahua/​Jack Russell mix. He HATES getting his nails clipped. I have been trying to do it myself for over a month with no real luck. I brought Gerry in and I told him that he hates it. Kevin asked if he needed a muzzle… I had already brought one. Kevin was so calm about cutting his nails. When he went to clip is second paw, Gerry FREAKED OUT. And Kevin simply said, «I’m not afraid of you.» and continued clipping and Gerry was fine. My dog has a great pedicure, it was affordable, and fast! I will recommend Kevin and Friends to everyone with a dog! Especially stubborn ones.

We finally found a great groomer in Denver! Kevin was super friendly and our pup warmed up to him right away. He gave our Wheaton terrier a great cut at a reasonable price. In the past we’ve have awful groomers completely shave the poor pup :(So we were very happy to see her with nice clean, fluffy fur! We will definitely be back to see Kevin again.

Kevin is supper friendly, loves dogs (you can tell) and he takes pride in your dog feeling comfortable with him and his sister who works there. I will go back! We do not ever pay to groom our dog, always do it ourselves and on a boarder collie that’s not always easy.

Kevin was wonderful with our Bernese Mountain who is 5 and has never been groomed before. She was quite the mess and now looks so well kept. The service was affordable and did not take all day. I highly recommend Kevin!

Kevin was great and so quick with clipping my Vizsla’s nails (he HATES getting his nails trimmed). We will definitely be regulars here from now on. Bonus is they are so cheap! Thanks!

I love Kevin and Friends.
I have two shih-​tzus and their hair always gets matted (Who has time to brush those little monsters?). Every time I bring them over they always come out PERFECT and ADORABLE. They always smell soooo good too. I’m a very happy customer!
Kevin is a great guy — very personable and easy going. He’s a very busy guy tho so if you wanna get your pup groomed you better call ahead. Kevin is easy to work with tho.
Also his prices are VERY FAIR. I’ve been back 5 times already I think. Great place!

Loved Kevin, he was super friendly and great with my little Aussie, fair prices and good work! I’ll definitely go back there again! :)

I can’t believe I found this place! I have an 80lb golden doodle and he charged way less than anyone I’ve ever been to. Kevin is super friendly and made my dog look beautiful! I will be definitely be going back and referring all my friends. Thank you Kevin!

We took our 19 year old cat Harley there today. Kevin did a great job. Harley was loaded with matts, but hes all better now. Kevin even let me stay with my cat & pet him while he was working on him. We will definately go back in the spring for another «lion» cut! Thanks Kevin! (Your sister was very nice too!)

We love Kevin and Friends! He does a great job on my poodles, and is super accommodating. The dogs are relaxed and happy when I go to pick them up and Kevin and his wife are really friendly. Pricing is very reasonable.

Wow, pricing definitely less than other places I’ve been for much better work.
Today was the second time we have taken both our dogs in; they look and smell beautiful. We have a border collie with that long scraggly back leg/​butt hair and a lab/​rottie mix and both of them couldn’t look better. The border collie had a nice, even trim on the backside and tail. They seem to be able to trim the dog’s nails much shorter than I would ever successfully be able to do.
It’s definitely not a fancy doggie-​spa type of place but whose dog cares? I’ve been to a couple of those places and they do about 70% as good a job for 10 – 15 bucks more per dog. Kevin and friends gets five paws.

We ended up here after we had a horrible experience at the Heavenly Dog, and I am so glad Kevin fit us in. Kevin is so nice and charismatic! Our bulldog is very apprehensive at the groomer’s, but Kevin and his team were able to put him at ease and give him a good scrubbing. Their prices are very reasonable. In fact, they could easily charge $ 15+ more and still have competitive prices. Our dog sees Kevin every week now. Thank you!

We’ve been going to Kevin & Friends for about a year with our cat and dog. He does a great job giving my cat a lion cut. Also he is great at getting our Bernese Mountain dog looking clean and fluffy. He is also very affordable. Thanks Kevin!

Kevin is great groomer and a great guy! My Briard always looks so fresh and so clean when he leaves here. The prices are fair and they treat your loved ones with the utmost respect! I would recommended Kevin and Friends to anyone with a fuzzy friend who needs help keeping them in check :)

I think I’m changing groomers. This guy Kevin was voted best groomer in Denver and came highly recommended when we moved here in May of 2010. I’ve had my dog there 3 times. 1^st time he did a great job, 2^nd time was mediocre but okay, then today it looks like he gave a kid the scissors and put him to work on the head & ears: all uneven, frizzy, split ends, tufts sticking out of one ear and not the other… poor doggie looks like a poster child for «How quickly can I get this mutt’s haircut done?»

Been going here for 3 years now and I have a shitzu mix. Kevin is amazing with my pup and always does a great job with the cut. He is affordable and so accomodating with me having to p/​u my dog after work.
GO HERE if you love your pet and are looking to spruce up their do!

I have been using Kevin for about 8yrs now, followed him in 3 places! I have gone to the fancy foo foo places, and even PetSmart, Kevin is always the best. Not only is he super friendly (as well as his staff) but he is not a rip off like many other places. He really does a super job– having a Yorkie, Peek-​a-​Poo and now a soft coated wheaten (who needs major TLC) Kevin never fails to leave them perfectly groomed– unmatted and again at a price that you can afford. How he is able to handle these dogs and still smile is beyond me– i would be lost without them! p. s i have to literally drag my dogs out of there to leave that’s how much they like it there!

We LOVE Kevin and Friends! Our anxious Border Collie mix loves Kevin and is comfortable at the shop. Kevin does a fabulous job and often sends him home with a treat and a bandana. Kevin’s wife Vicky is sweet and kind and a doll to work with. They are so good to their four-​legged and two-​legged customers. We love going here and tell everyone about it.

Grooming is one of those jobs that I could never ever do. Alongside being a tollbooth collector or recycling sorter. How do they do it, I always wondered, and now I think I know. They smoke a LOT of pot.
Which explains Kevin and Friends waiting area.
Random dog products littered throughout the small space illuminated by a teeny tiny staticky TV screen. Hungry? You’re in business because they have a basket with candy and a tin can asking that you leave $.85 for each item you take. Fake plants, dust, and an intense wet dog smell. Kevin has a booming friendly voice and always seems genuinely excited to see they dogs as they quiver with anticipation.
I wish I could do it justice with my review, but I simply can’t write that well, you just have to see it yourself.
Anyway, he does a good job, always listens to what I want, gives the dogs treats and or a bandanna with each visit and is much more affordable than the others. I only wish the dogs weren’t caged in between groomings.
And if you do go, bring a bright leash. Kevin can never seem to find Oscar’s leash… but as long as he doesn’t seem to mind grooming, he is my friend.
