Canine Clips Salon

Cristine is fabulous. We take our family pets who are aging as well as my husband’s & my dog — all different breeds, temperaments & coats. She has referrals for other service providers (vets, dental, etc.), one of our pups has a bad shedding problem so she suggested a de-​shed formula for him that is fantastic (nothing else has worked) and she even consulted with my mother about the life quality of our 14 year old golden. There is no other groomer who takes the time to get to know your furry family members and care for them accordingly. As far as some of the negative reviews on here — there is a standard for care & she prioritizes the well-​being of the animals in her business. That is what you want in a groomer.

As you can see back in March under reviews, I wrote a great one. My husband had a heart attack and I had made an appt for Jack to get washed. I forgot my appt for the second time, as my mind was elsewhere due to my husband sudden heart attack. The first time I forgot was when my daughter was in a major car accident, where jaw and teeth were broken, required a liquid diet and trips weekly to MGH, so I am human and do forget. I took care of her for months, therefore I was very busy! I would of liked a response such as, Oh i am so sorry about your husband, hope he is feeling better but instead I got Huh, as if she laughed, maybe didn’t believe me, I don’t know what she was thinking, but it was cold and followed by her saying to me, three strikes and you are out. Well, I told her I would call her back as I didn’t know the date I had in mind but when my husband and daughter heard what she said to me after I hung up, they did not allow me to go back here. They thought she made a rude comment and was not good business practice. Instead what should of been said was, I would like to work with you, I could call you the day before to remind you since you are such a good customer, instead of HUH, three strikes and you are out. In fact, the first time when I forgot, I paid her extra to make up for it. Its too bad cuz I do love the place and I love how Jack likes it there.

We brought our Cocker Spaniel in a week ago and couldn’t be happier with the cut! She was matted on her belly but Cristine saved the day. The staff was so friendly and prompt. She was ready in less than an hour and a half-​most salons take up to three hours with a cocker cut. We will definitely be back!

I am beyond satisfied with the grooming job done on my very old, anxious golden retriever. Christine is the most compassionate groomer I’ve brought my dogs to, and as long as she is around, I will not be bringing them elsewhere.
She went above and beyond my expectations; my older dog is 13 years old, has cancer and is prone to seizures… and in addition to all of that, he does NOT play well with others. He is a very nervous, very elderly, yet super lovable dog… but gets extremely overwhelmed when he’s groomed. Christine made sure to book him as her last appointment of the day to avoid interactions with other dogs, she also booked her bather so they could both stay late and work on him together so we could get him in and out as fast as possible.
I am pretty sure Christine gave back 10 years of life to my dog, as he basically trotted/​bounced out of Canine Clips, acting like he was the King again.
In addition to her excellent service, she was very patient with me and my many questions, she let me stay with my dog while he was groomed, and she explained everything she was doing and why she was doing it. She does not handle dogs aggressively like groomers I’ve used in the past. I would recommend her to anybody who loves their animals as much as I love mine!!!

Love love love this place! They did an amazing job on baxters hair! I’ve been looking for a good groomer since moving from Florida and I’ve finally found it!!! Highly recommend this place

We love Cristine! Our dog is rather nervous with new people, and our other groomer made her bleed when she got her nails cut. But, she loves coming here. Christine is great with dogs of all sizes. She always takea Dany right away and she grinds her nails without using clippers. Never had an issue. PLUS this is the cheapest nail clip anywhere I’ve checked. We are customers for life!

The last time I brought Muffin to a groomer he expressed his anal glands out of sheer terror. After many months, I brought him to Canine Clips as a walk-​in for a nail trim and couldn’t be more pleased. Staff were very friendly and patient with my little man. She even trimmed the hair in between his toes, which is something I could never manage. We will be back without question!

Just got back from the vet and got a $ 400 vet bill due to the laziness of this business. My dog has an ear infection + cuts on the bottom of his ears that are now infected. He is also miserable because they had to put a cone on him. Once again reiterating that I will NEVER EVER go back here again and do not recommend this place to anyone else.

My dog Hugo is treated like a king and always looks amazing when I pick him up. He also loves going there and gets excited when he knows where we are!

Cristine is awesome! She did a phenomenal job with my golden retriever mix Trevor, who has lots of tricky fur and a picky dad! I was impressed with her care for the dogs — she’s very mindful of their comfort (both mental and physical), does not crate, does everything by hand (including drying), and is very careful in all stages of grooming. She had no problem with me being around, asking questions, and providing occasional input.
The facility is clean, modern, and relaxed. She has a couple of small dogs of her own, who are also very friendly and welcoming. It seems like there is only one visiting dog at a time, so things are very calm, and she lets the dogs socialize before and after the grooming — as long as they’re okay with each other.
Pricing is very competitive and well worth it.
We drove 40 minutes from Natick and 1 hour back and would do it again any day!

Cristine rocks! I’ve been taking my golden doodle Mustard to her before she opened Canine clips. I drive all the way from Boston just to see her because she was so nice and Mustard always leaves looking so handsome, and not like a shaved poodle (which is what he always looked like after I tried some places near my home in Boston). I like that she only grooms one dog at a time and gives them her one and only attention. She listens to what you like and is very consistent. She is definitely worth the 40 min drive!

I was apprehensive about bringing my rescue dog (terrier mix) to a groomer. We attemped a few weeks ago at another groomer. My dog, Talulah became highly agitated, growling, cowering and hiding behind my legs. She would not let the groomer near her. Talulah was nervous as we walked into this bright and sunny salon. However, Christine put her at ease and quickly established rapport. She was gentle and considerate the entire time. Christine invited me to stay and I opted to do so and play with her two puppies that were in the shop. Talulah recieved the full treatment. nails, ears, bath, brushing and grooming. It was obvious Christine is excellent with dogs and has a passion for what she does. Talulah looks fabulous. As often as I read reviews, I have never written one. I love animals and knew this was a resource I wanted to share. Not only that, Christine earned it.

I had the experience of bringing my Cavalier King Charles here recently & I can not rant n rave about how happy I was with the way Lola looked when I picked her up !!!
You can tell Cristine loves what she does & loves our animals !!!
Again Thank you !!! & you have a customer for life !!!

Christine is the most caring groomer I have ever met. My dog has a lot of anxiety, and she is the only groomer that has taken time to understand the situation, She also does an awesome job grooming.

Loved the bright, airy, and spotless salon. It is so welcoming and I love the fact that the dogs are not crated which my dog hates. The cut was great and I know my dog, a 55lb goldendoodle, is not always the best client but she was calm and happy when I picked her up. I already made our next appointment and would recommend Cristine highly.

Christine, owner of Canine Clips, is the best groomer I have every known. She treats every dog like her own, and spends as much time as necessary to make sure that she does a GREAT job! She grooms only 1 dog at a time, so you can pick up your pet as soon as she’d done if you want! You will NOT find anyone who gives more care and attention to your dog! She is a great person and I highly recommend her!
