grooming by Missie Peterman

I took my cockapoo to Missie and it was a great experience for my dog. He had had a bad experience the first he'd been groomed and Missie knew it and took the time to calm him down. Because he'd had such a bad experience the first time, it had been a while since I'd gotten him groomed, so I'm ashmed to say he was a mess. I know it couldn't have been an easy groom job for her, but when I got him back he was beautiful and was wiggling all over. I'm sure he was happy to get all that hair off. He was licking her hand and jumping around......I had a totally different dog! And the charge was less than the first place I took him. (I think they had a new groomer there and my dog happened to get her.) I won't go anywhere else, because I know that he'll be worked on by only one person, and she gets to know all his quirks.

I've used her a couple of times, mostly to save me some money. Both times I took my pomapoo, she always came back very timid and looked as though she had razor burn marks in between her inner thighs. I was really worried about it, but Missie seemed like such a nice person who wouldn't hurt a fly.



So I brushed if off. I thought it was normal, but after reading these reviews...I started doubting myself. I actually had my baby scheduled with her again later this week, but decided to get a second opinion and found some other groomers (top notch, FYI); I told them about what had happened to my dog, and they told me that seeing razor burn marks, I should be weary as she may not be gentle with the dog, especially a small one like mine. I guess they said that being timid is normal, but usually towards the end, the dog will be okay...not the case with my dog whenever I took her to Missie.



I still think she's a nice person, but I adore my dog and will probably be using other groomers from now on. Looking into Madra's Pet Grooming; suppose to be one of the best in Milwaukee. Thanks you two for the reviews; if I didn't read these, I would have taken my dog back to her this week!
