I didn't know about this place before, and I found them through a google search for hard to groom dogs. The groomer was really nice and patient with me too (I may come off as a little paranoid about my dog, lol!)
If you need a new groomer, I definitely recommend this place :)
I felt I had to respond to your comments above as I am the owner of My Dog's Daycare and as your comment was not positive.
In terms of the cleanliness of the daycare, I can assure you that we sweep, wash the floors and disinfect several times per day with products that are friendly to both dogs and the planet. I am sorry if there was an odour that bothered you, but we absolutely keep things very clean and disinfected at all times.
As for not having "green space" for the dogs and the dogs being cramped together, nothing is further from the truth. We keep the number of dogs in the daycare very small so we can properly supervise them at all times and make sure they are playing together safely. They are also taken on long walks several times per day so they are properly exercised-we don't let them just go to the bathroom in an outdoor area. I think you would rather have your dog walked and exercised rather than just let outside to go to the bathroom, wouldn't you?
Finally, we have an absolutely loyal and dedicated clientele and we know and love each and every dog as if they were our own. The many client testimonials in addition to the many referrals we have attest to that.
I am very proud of our service and our daycare and wish you the best in your search for a daycare.
I'm Cheryl, the groomer at My Dog's Daycare, and I am truly sorry to hear you did not like your groom. As Holly said, we have not had any negative feedback. I would like to take this opportunity to address your concerns that your puppy was treated cruelly. It is important to me that you understand that your puppy was not harmed and that great care was taken in his grooming. Shih tzus eyelashes commonly grow quite long and often because of the length can cause eye problems including watery eyes. Because of this, groomers will normally cut them short to provide the dog relief from the constant irritation. Some clients prefer to keep the lashes long anyway and I will always defer to their wishes and where it is clear that the lashes are severely bothering the dog will strongly recommend they consider shortening them. Just as I would never deliberately go against a client's wishes and cut a dog’s eyelashes where instructed otherwise, I would also never shave a dog that the client had asked me not to. I take immense pride in my work and in my ethics and would never shave a dog rather than demat in order to save time or maximize money. Clearly there was a miscommunication about how short you wanted Vader, and I am very very sorry that I got your instructions wrong. We do offer a money back satisfaction guarantee and although I cannot give him back his length, if you feel as you said that I did a bad job in general, I would happily take Vader back and fix what you'd like. With regard to his groin, some dogs do have clipper sensitivity and will get mild razor burn from shaving that area. This is quite common and if a client's dog broke out I would make a note in their file and either desist shaving that area or use a longer blade as this always corrects the problem. Finally, on a personal note, your comments about me not being an animal lover and being cruel truly hurts. If you knew how much of my life I have devoted to animals including rescuing, taking care of, and sponsoring them, you would know that I would never harm an animal. I apologize again that Vader got a groin rash and I assure you (now that I know he's clipper sensitive) that it would never happen again. I hope that you will give me a second chance, I really enjoyed Vader and talking to you.
All the best, and again, I'm very sorry for any reactions Vader had and any instructions I misunderstood.

After Caleb passed, I began to take Toby, my senior Great Dane there for nail clippings. In the past, I have had to sedate Toby and take him to the vet, where up to three vet techs have had to hold him down while he fought getting his nails trimmed. Cheryl knew exactly how to handle him and the entire process was quick and stress free (and extremely affordable). Knowing the discomfort that Toby use to feel with long nails and the pain and stress he went through getting them clipped, I couldn't be more thankful for Cheryl kindness and expertise in dealing with a large dog.
A heartfelt thanks to her and everyone at My Dogs Daycare for the care they have provided my beloved furry friends.
