Missy does a great job on my Tibetan Terrier, Gus. This breed can be a bit tricky and I have been very happy after his day at the Spa. She is also very flexible with my schedule.

They do a great job with my dog and are also good about following up with me if there are any issues.

A couple of months ago I took my dog here to get groomed. They barely groomed him, overcharged me, and at first refused to give me change! They also kept about $40 worth of pet shampoo formulas I had brought with me as well. They were also very rude and left my dog quite traumatized, which is ironic considering how this is truly the nicest and most friendly dog I've ever encountered in my life. I'm the kind of person who doesn't pitch a fit when I receive the wrong order in a restaurant on a busy day. I honestly do let things go, so apart from the bad business experience with this place, I simply told myself (and the dog), "never again" upon closing the door behind me.
But it gets a lot worse. Not a week after this whole ordeal my dog began displaying symptoms of what turned out to be malassezia dermatitis, most likely caused by being nicked with dirty scissors. He had a very high fever and was rushed to the vet just in time to receive emergency steroid shots. After hundreds of dollars in veterinary treatment and medications my dog just now seems to be (hopefully) getting back to normal.
Here is a picture of what my dog looked like just days after doing business with the Clip Joint: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/m4l4k41/poordog.jpg
Please look into who you are taking your pets to, and tell as many people as you can to avoid this place at all costs, at least until they are willing to stop their ethically questionable practices.
