I haven't had good luck with Petco or any other chain stores...so I wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions

what kind of dog do you have? I'm also looking for a new place for my Pomeranian.

I use America's Country store in Wellborn. Rather expensive, but they do a great job.

Pet Styles on Villa Maria.

Wiggles & Wags by Golden Corral! Great job and great caring employees!

+1 for wiggles and wags

I have a miniature schnauzer and have been using Petsmart for a couple of years. I've always been very pleased--but I don't do a typical schnauzer cut. I do short all over with a schnauzer face.

Have had no problem with Petsmart for our Westie

Petsmart for our Newfie. Quite a test of a groomer's skills.

Petsmart- My pup always comes back looking good and it wasn't super expensive.

I've been using America's Country Store for a few years and have been pleased with the results. Before that I used Wiggles and Wags. It was higher, but I was happy with the way they treated and groomed my dogs.

I tried 2818 Grooming when we first moved here, but I would not go back there.

However, if I could find a good place that could beat the $40-45, I'd be happy to give it a shot. How much are Petco/Petsmart/other options?

Petsmart has always done a great job with my dog.
