“This was my first time taking my Yorkshire Terrier puppy for a haircut, and we were both pretty nervous. But the people at Dog About Town did an amazing job of putting us both at our ease!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our 8 month Welsh Terrier pup this week. First time in the groomers and she loved it. She went in a ball of (matted) hair (and er a little whiffy) and came out perfectly hand-stripped and looking like a proper Welshie.”
“The wonderful people at Dog about Town were incredibly patient and very very lovely to our dog doing a tiny bit at a time and then taking her off to play and then trying again a little while later and repeat until she was made beautiful even without her lovely long fur.”
“The owner and his assistant are super nice, efficient and always do great job. We have taken our dogs here for 5 years now - they go in looking scruffy and come out proper clean and beautiful.”

“Very professional , the owner has won prizes in competitions with several breeds. He knows his thing very well ! He did an amazing job.”
