Doggie Parlor Animal Grooming Shop ripoff my dog became sick Eastpointe Michigan
I am truly discusted with this grooming shop.
The shop is extremely dirty. It smells. It's cluttered.
I walked in to get a grooming price on my dog.
I watched as dogs came out of dirty cages, to only watch
as another dog went right into the same dirty cage without being cleaned.
I saw dogs tied to walls, with cold house fans blowing on them.
I also asked, since I was there getting a price on how much it would cost to get my dog groomed. If I had to bring in the shot records. Of course I was told no. It made me sick. She asks for no shot records, not even the owners address. When i asked about if she requires the kennel cough records.
I was told no,, not needed,, no shot records needed at all.
Then I was also told she could give the one year parvo shot.
I was discusted immediately. When I went home and called
my vet he was upset. Saying no grooming shop should be
doing shots for the public. A person can give their own dog shots but not this woman.
Some dogs have allergic reactions to the shot. Meaning they will need another shot to take care of it. It can casue death in a dog if the other shot isnt administered soon.
Of course she doesn't have the other shot.
I also asked about boarding. Well of course she does this also. However I looked at the boarding area. No outside runs,, no large area cages. Was told dogs go out two times a day. Just in the parking lot for a short walk.
I called the city. The owner of this shop is not allowed to give out shots. I was also told this shop does not have a kennel permit at all. In fact no shop in the city of Eastpointe has one. The city wont allow it.
So just how does she get away with all this stuff???
I wouldn't leave my dog at that discusting dirty shop.
I also went to other grooming shops in the area.
Yes they were higher price. But you do pay for what you get.
Also the other shops I visited laughed. They all said they know the Doggie parlor. They know of her activities.
She gives shots to anyone that will pay for it.
She sells anyones pups. One grooming shop I visited stated she has a family member that owns a kennel. She resells this person's dogs.
She also buys pups at a cheap price and resells for a higher price.
A broker if you will. She isnt allowed to do this in the city her shop is in.
I was just totally disgusted with what I saw in only 15 minutes. A very dirty shop. The city should check her out.
I also watched the groomers. They were very nice to the animals. I watched them groom alittle,, and the dogs did look good.
Its just the place is a pig pad. Unsanitary completely.
No rights to kennel dogs,, or give shots,, or to resell pups.
The shop I now use is great. Extremely clean and up to date. No cold fans. My dog get a warm dryer.
Something should be done about this place. The owner needs to clean up her act and her shop.
I also just resently found out this woman is related to a Diane Pitters. She is know as a bad breeder. Sickly dogs!
I also found out the owner of this shop breeds yorkies.
When I was at my new grooming shop. I got the privilage to speak to a person that purchased a yorkie from the owner of the Doggie shop. The dog had a bad over bite, and something about a bad knee.
Why would one produce pups with all this wrong. Just for the money!!! No pride at all. Just like in the appearance of her shop.
When I even asked what products she used on bathing the dogs, I didnt get much of a reply. However when I looked into the grooming area, I noticed dish soap and the dollar stores products.
Guess its true you pay for what you get.
I am just so disgusted she can run a grooming shop that is so extremely dirty. I am sure there is some kind of health code for a grooming shop.
The shop Im now at,, well that does my dog now,, once worked at this Doggie Parlor. I was told its all the owner and not the groomers. I was told the groomers are very nice and try so hard. I was also told she felt sorry for any groomer that worked there. That the owner dosent treat them right. That they are underpaid. That they dont have good equipment to work with at all.
Anyone that knows this shop,, please write to the owner and ask her to clean up her business.
It is really dirty and unsanitary completely.
Anyone else know of this shop???? Respond,, send her a letter,, lets get her to clean up the place. My dog ended up with kennel cough 9 days after leaving her shop. When I went to my vest office as I had a sick dog now,, he said it was probably Due to exposing my dog to the dirty Doggie Parlor.
I called this Doggie Parlor back up and told her what happened to my dog. I was told by a gril that works there,, that I had to call back on a Monday to talk to the owner. The girl also gave me the owner of the shops cell phone number.
I called and left a message and got no reply. I did call on Monday ,, and she laughed at me and kinda blew me off. No concern at all.

To all who are uncertain:
Just walk into the shop. That would be proof enough. Call the city! Talk to the DNR about her being told she was getting fined. Its not to hard to do the correct research on finding the truth on this issue. If you live in the area go check it out for yourself. Then go to other shops and check them out. Or ask someone you can trust that might live in the area to go look around for you. Do your own research people if you question what is said on this site. All I see are more complaints and more questions. Look for yourself. I looked and was discusted. The smell alone burned my eyes and nose. This place should be closed down in my opinion!

In your first comment, you stated that you walked in to get a grooming price for your pooch.In the rebuttal, you said that you were all former groomers.
I didn't even read the rest of your rebuttal, as the first sentence said it all. Actually, I would have loved to have read everything, but the excessive paragraphs mess with my mind. Is this Doggie Hair Salon really that bad? Or are you just an upset ex-groomer? I'm not throwing gas on the flames here, I'm just inquiring. Something doesn't sound right.

Alice, I completely agree with everything you said. But question why, when your witnessed how bad the situation was in this particular shop, would you allow your dog to be groomed there? One lady said she went there for over 5 years?? My dogs are my babies - I wouldn't have allowed them to go there in the first place.

WE ARE THREE DIFFERENT PEOPLE!! X GROOMERS OF THE DOGGIE PARLOR
#10UPDATE EX-employee responds
Mon, August 02, 2004
HELLO TO ALL!
THIS LETTER IS BEING JOINTLY SENT IN BY FOUR X GROOMERS OF THE DOGGIE PARLOR.
WE HAVE ALL LEFT THIS SHOP DUE TO THE WORKING CONDITIONS WE WERE PROVIDED WITH.
ALONG HAVING TO WORK WITH THE OWNER OF THE SHOP!
WE ARE JOINTLY SENDING IN THIS LETTER DUE TO THE FACT NOT ALL OF US HAVE A PC.
THE OWNER OF THIS SHOP NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND JUST WHAT A SELF EMPLOYED INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR IS.
WHEN WE STATE WE DO NOT WANT MORE THAN 6 DOGS A DAY SHE PUSHES US AND DEMANDS FOR US TO DO THEM.
WHEN WE STATE WE DO NOT WANT TO DO CHOWS OR CATS. SHE WILL NOT LISTEN AND FORCES THEN ON US.
SHE IS NOT OUR EMPLOYER. WE ARE SUB CONTRACTED OUT. WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE TO DO ANY ANIMAL THAT WE FEEL THREATENED BY.
A GROOMERS JOB IS VERY STRESSFULL. ALOT DEPENDS ON THE LOCATION OF THE GROOMING SHOP ALSO.
SOME SHOPS GET ALL GOOD DOGS. THE DOGGIE PARLOR GETS ALL VERY BAD DOGS IN HORRIBLE CONDITION.
AFTER DOING 7 DOGS AND A GROOMER IS TIRED AFTER WORKING A FULL WORK WEEK.
WE DONT LIKE TO BE PUSHED TO DO MORE DOGS. THIS IS WHEN ACCIDENTS HAPPEN. FOR THE GROOMER AND THE DOG.
A GROOMING SHOP HAS VERY BUSY TIMES AND VERY SLOW TIMES. WHEN A GROOMER GETS TIRED THE OWNER DOSENT CARE AND PUSHES YOU TO THE LIMIT.
IF YOU WONT PUSH YOURSELF FOR HER SO SHE CAN MAKE MONEY OFF YOU. SHE HIRES ANOTHER GROOMER. THEN ALL THE GROOMERS ARE AT WORK AND CUT WAY DOWN ON ANIMALS TO GROOM. SO THERE GOES HALF YOUR PAY.
A GROOMER DOES NOT GET ANY MEDICAL, PAID VACATIONS, NO OVERTIME, NOTHING!!!
WHEN WE ARE FORCED TO DO VERY BAD ANIMALS THAT ARE GOING AFTER US AND WE GET BITTEN. ALL WE HEAR IS OH THATS TO BAD. WE MISS WORK DUE TO THIS INJURY AND WE GET NOTHING FROM THE OWENR. WE STATE WE ARE GOING TO CHARGE A HIGHER PRICE FOR THIS CERTAIN ANIMAL AS WE ARE RISKING AN INJURY TO OURSELVES. WE ARE TOLD NO BY THE OWNER.
THE OWNER ISNT RISKING ANYTHING WE ARE TO PLEASE HER. SHE ALSO ISNT GROOMING THE DOG WE ARE. WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO SET THE PRICE.
ANY OTHER SHOP THAT REFUSES TO GROOM A CERTAIN DOG/CAT ENDS UP AT THIS SHOP.
NOT ALL ANIMALS ARE NICE IF THEY ARENT BRED PROPERLY AND SOCIALIZED CORRECTLY.
IT IS A TRUE FACT NO WARM CAGE DRYERS ARE USED.
ONLY COLD FANS. THE SHOP IS NOT CLEAN AT ALL.
SHE DOES DO BOARDING AND THE SELLING OF PUPS OUT OF THIS SHOP. WHEN CONTACTING THE CITY WE WERE ALL TOLD THE SHOP DOES NOT HAVE THE CORRECT PAPERWORK WITH THE CITY TO BOARD OR TO SELL ANIMALS.
WE WERE TOLD BY OTHER GROOMERS AND OTHER GROOMING SHOPS WE WERE CALLED THE GETTO PARLOR.
MANY GROOMERS HAVE TOLD THE OWNER THE SHOP NEEDS TO BE CLEANED UP. NEW EQUIPMENT. TO USE PRODUCTS FOR ANIMALS NOT CHEAP DOLLAR TREE HUMANE PRODUCTS.
NOTHING EVER HAPPENS.
ALL OF US HAVE A CERTIFICATE OF GROOMING. WE WORKED HARD. WE TRIED TO CLEAN UP THE PLACE AND TELL HER WHAT WE HEARD WAS BEING SAID ABOUT THE DOGGIE PARLOR. AS WE FELT IT WAS ALSO OUR REPUTATION THAT WAS BEING AT STAKE HERE.
IT ALL FALLS ON DEAF EARS.
MANY GROOMERS HAVE TRIED TO TELL HER THE STORIES WE HEAR OF THIS SHOP. THE OWNER WILL NOT BELIEVE US AT ALL AND EVEN TENDS TO BLAME THE GROOMERS. THAT WE STARTED THE STORIES.
THE FACT IS IT ALL UPSET US VERY MUCH. WHY WOULD WE START THE STORIES WHEN WE WORKED AT THIS SHOP TO CUT OUR NECKS???
IN ENDING WE ALL WALKED AWAY FROM THIS SHOP. WE ALL NOW WORK AT DIFFERENT SHOPS. WE HAVE A GOOD WORKING ENIVORMENT. GREAT PRODUCTS. NOT PUSHED TO SLAM DOGS/CATS OUT. MUCH HIGHER PAY. STILL NO HEALTH INSURANCE. WE DO HAVE WORKMANS COMP, PAID VACATIONS AND HIGHER PAY ON HOLIDAYS.
WE WERE INFORMED OF THIS ON LINE SITE FROM A CUSTOMER THAT USED TO GO TO THIS SHOP.
WE WERE TOLD BY HER THE ONE LETTER IS BY HER.
WE WERE INFORMED ANOTHER LETTER WAS SENT FROM A GROOMER THAT USED TO WORK THERE A FEW YEARS AGO.
WE DO NOT KNOW WHY A PERSON STATED THE LETTERS WERE ALL FROM THE SAME PERSON. WE DO NOT KNOW WHO THIS PERSON IS. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD DIFFERENTLY!
WHEN WE ALL FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS WEB SITE FROM A LONG AGO GROOEMR AND A CERTAIN OLD CUSTOMER.
WE CAME TO CHECK IT OUT.
WE EVEN WENT ONE STEP FURTHER AND TOLD THE OWENR ABOUT IT ALL. SOME OF US WERE VERY USPET.
IN THE END AFTER THE OWENR WAS TOLD ALL THIS A FEW OF US WERE TOLD SHE THOUGHT IT WAS US THAT ACTUALLY DID IT.
IT SEEMS SHE WILL NEVER TAKE CARE OF THE MATTER AND ALWASY BLAME HER GROOMERS.
WE DO KNOW ONE GROOMER LEFT TWO YEARS AGO TO START HER OWN MOBILE BUSINESS.
ANOTHER GROOMER LEFT 18 MONTHS AGO TO START HER OWN SHOP.
ANOTHER GROOMER LEFT ONE YEAR AGO TO GO TO A DIFFERENT SHOP.
AGAIN ANOTHER LEFT 3 MONTHS AGO AFTER A BAD BITE. AND AFTER TELLING THE OWENR NO MORE BAD ANIMALS.
JUST RESENTLY ANOTHER GIRL LEFT TO TAKE OVER A EXISTING SHOP.
SOME OF US FEEL PRETTY BAD. CERTAIN ANIMALS AND CUSTOMERS WE WILL MISS ALOT.
WE HAVE NOW HEARD THE OWNER HAS ACCUSED US ALL THAT HAVE LEFT OF TAKING CUSTOMERS.
WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO TAKE CUSTOMERS WITH US THAT WE HAD AS CLIENTS EVEN BEFORE WE STARTED WORKING AT HER SHOP.
ANY PEOPLE WE REFERED TO THE SHOP WHEN WE WERE WORKING THERE AND ONLY CAME TO THE DOGGIE PARLOR DUE TO THE FACT WE ASKED THEM TO COME ARE OUR OWN PRIVATE CUSTOMERS.
WE TOOK BUSINESS CARDS FROM THE DOGGIE PARLOR TO PASS OUT TO PEOPLE WE MEET IN THE PUBLIC TO COME TO THIS SHOP AND TO REQUEST WHOEVER GAVE THE CARD TO THEM.
CUSTOMERS DID DO THIS. WE DID THE LEG WORK NOT THE OWENR. SHE MADE MONEY OFF OF US ON THESE DOGS THAT WE RECRUITED TO COME IN.
AS IN A HAIR SALON WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO TELL THESE PEOPLE WHERE WE ARE AT NOW.
SOME GROOMERS HAVE THIR OWN CLIENTS ALONG WITH SHOP DOGS.
SOME GROOMERS ALSO WORK OUT OF THEIR HOME PART TIME. THESE GROOMERS ADVERTISE IN THE LOCAL PAPERS. THESE GROOMERS PAY FOR THIER OWN ADD. WE TAKE ON CLIENTS AT HOME FROM THIS ADD. DOGS THAT ARE TO AGRESSIVE OR TO LARGE FOR US TO DO AT HOME WE REFER TO THE SHOP. THESE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE OUR CUSTOMERS.
THE OWENR DIDNT PAY TO BRING IN THESE CUSTOMERS.
YET SHE ASSUMES THEY ARE HER SHOP DOGS. SHE IS VERY WRONG. SHE NEEDS TO STOP ACCUSING US OF STEALING HER CUSTOMERS.
ALL OF US ARE GONE AND MOVED ON. NONE OF US COULD TAKE IT ANYMORE. THE GOOD GROOMERS MAKE THE SHOP NOT THE OWNER. ITS OUR GOOD GROOMING THAT KEPT THEM COMING BACK.
ALL OF US HAVE HEARD COMPLAINTS FROM CUSTOMERS ON HOW DIRTY THE SHOP WAS. IT USED TO UPSET US SO MUCH.
HER RESPONSE WAS OH WELL,, WE ARE STILL BUSY SO THERE IS NO PROBLEM.
WE ALL HAVE CERTIAN CUSTOMERS THAT WE TOOK TO THE SHOP. OUR HOME DOGS IF YOU WILL. THESE PEOPLE ARE CALLING THE SHOP AND ASKING FOR US. THE OWNER TELLS THEM WE ARENT THERE ANYMORE. CUSTOMERS HAVE TOLD US SHE MAKES IT SOUND LIKE WE WERE FIRED.
TOTALLY WRONG WE ALL WALKED AWAY OF OUR OWN FREE WILL. DUE TO ALL THE PROBLEMS AT THAT SHOP.
WHAT SHE DOSENT KNOW IS THAT ALOT OF THESE PEOPLE DO HAVE OUR PESONAL HOME NUMBERS. THEY CALL US TO FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. WE TELL THEM WHERE WE ARE NOW AT.
SHE REFUSES TO TELL THEM AND STATES TO BRING THE DOG IN ANYWAY SHE HAS A GIRL THAT CAN DO THE ANIMAL.
SO WHO IS TAKING WHOS DOGS???
WE CAN ALL NAME MANY ANIMALS NAMES ALONG WITH THE CUSTOMERS NAMES SHE HAS DONE THIS TO.
WE ALSO HAD MANY REQUEST DOGS THAT WERE SHOP DOGS.
MANY OF THESE CUSTOMERS STATED THEY ONLY KEPT COMING TO THE SHOP CASUE THEY LIKED A CERTAIN GROOMER AND ALSO STATED THEY WANTED TO KNOW IF WE EVER LEFT THE SHOP WHERE WE WERE AT.
THIS IS A TOUCHY SITUATION. WE FEEL LET THE CUSTOMER KNOW THE TRUTH AND LET THEM MAKE UP THEIR OWN MINDS WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.
IT IS TRUE A GROOMING SHOP CAN LOOSE CUSTOMERS WHEN A GOOD GROOMER LEAVES TO FOLLOW HER. AS IN A HAIR SALON ECT.
LET ME PUT IT TO ALL OF YOU THIS WAY. WE ALL SAT DOWN AND TALKED LONG AND HARD. WE ALL CAME TO THE CONCLUSION WE WOULDNT BRING OUR OWN ANIMALS INTO THIS SHOP IF WE KNEW THE INSIDE STORY OF THE SHOPS FILTY.
DID WE WANT OUR GOOD NAMES TARNISHED?? NO!!!
OUT OF ALL THE CUSTOMERS WE CONTACTED ALL WERE VERY PLESED WE LET THEM KNOW WE MOVED ON. THERE WERE CERTAIN CUSTOMERS THAT WE ALL ADMIT WERENT OUR REQUEST DOGS. THESE CUSTOMERS WERE CALLED, I GUESS WE INSULTED THEM BY CONTACTING THEM AS THEY CALLED THE OWENR TO COMPLAIN.
THE FACT IS WE WITTNESSED THESE DOGS BEING NOT TREATED SO NICELY AT A CERTAIN TIME WITH A NEW GROOMER. WE ALL KNEW HOW SWEET THESE ANIMLAS WERE AND FELT VERY SORRY FOR THE ANIMAL. THIS IS WHY WE CALLED THESE PEOPLE UP.
WE NEVER WENT INTO DETAILS TO THE CUSTOMER AS WE WERENT SURE OF OUR STANDING IN THIS TYPE OF MATTER. WE ARE SORRY WE OFFENDED THESE FEW CUSTOMERS. HOWEVER WE FEEL VERY SORRY FOR YOUR ANIMALS AS WE SEEN WHAT HAPPENED AND IT WAS UNCALLED FOR.
SO SINCE WE SEEMED TO UPSET THESE PEOPLE WE ARE TRUELY SORRY. INSTEAD OF JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS I WISH THESE FEW CUSTOMERS WOULD OF THOUGHT FIRST.
ALSO ANOTHER MATTER THE OWNER OF THIS SHOP KEEPS CALLING GROOMERS THAT HAVE LEFT THE SHOP DUE TO CERTAIN REASONS
SHE KEEPS EVERYONES PHONE NUMBERS. SHE KNOWS WHERE WE ARE ALL AT. SHE EVEN HAS THE NERVE TO CALL US AT OUR NEW JOBS REOFFERING US A JOB BACK WITH HER. AFTER WE HAVE BEEN GONE FROM HER SHOP FOR A FEW YEARS.
AT OUR NEW JOBS THE SHOPS HAVE CALLER ID. THE OWNER OF THE NEW SHOPS WE ARE AT SEES SHE IS CALLING US ON HER BUSINESS LINE. THE OWNERS OF THESE SHOPS FEEL THIS IS VERY TACKY OF HER.
AFTER A GROOMER LEAVES THE DOGGIE PARLOR AND TELLS THE OWNER JUST WHY SHE IS LEAVING. WHAT IS IT THE OWNER OF THIS SHOP ISNT GETTING. THEN TO TWO YEARS LATER START CALLING THIS GROOMER AT HER EXISTING JOB OF TWO YEARS TO TRY TO STEAL HER AWAY FROM THE SHOP SHE IS AT NOW.
THE OTHER SHOP OWNERS THINK THIS IS VERY WRONG.
NO OTHER GROOMING SHOPS CALL OLD GROOMERS THAT USED TO WORK FOR THEM AT THEIR NEW SHOPS TWO YEARS LATER AND TRY TO DO THIS. NO STALKING THEM AT HOME.
SHE NEEDS TO FIND HER OWN GROOMERS AND STOP CALLING THESE OTHER SHOPS.
ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE DOGGIE PARLOR IS SHE WILL HIRE ANYONE WHEN SHE IS DESPERATE FOR HELP.
THE REST OF US HAD TO WATCH AS BAD GROOMERS WERE PUT TO WORK. THERE ARE GOOD AND BAD WORKERS IN EVERY FIELD. BUT WHO KEEPS THE BAD ONES?? WHO ENDS UP LOOSING ALL HER GOOD GROOMERS?? SHE MADE THE CHOICE! SHE IS NOT DEDICATED TO ANY OF HER GOOD GROOMERS WHO GO THE EXTRA MILE.
THIS IS COMPOSED OF FOUR X GROOMERS OF THIS SHOP.
PEOPLE PLEASE CHECK OUT THE GROOMING SHOP YOU ARE GOING TO. CHECK TO SEE IF THE OWNER WILL LET YOU GO BEHIND CLOSED DOORS AND LOOK FOR YOURSELF. WATCH TO SEE IF CAGES ARE CLEANED OUT BEFORE YOUR ANIMAL GOES INTO IT. REMEMBER A BUSY SHOP DOSENT ALWAYS MEAN A GOOD SHOP. SOMETIMES PEOPLE PICK THE CHEAPER SHOP WHEN IT COMES TO GROOMING. REMEMBER YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
THE BURGER PLACE ON THE CORNER IS ALWAYS BUSY,, THE STEAK PLACE DOWN THE STREET ISNT,, BUT WHAT WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE????

Listen, if there's something very unique, different, or telling about the way you write (can you say EXCESSIVE PARAGRAPHS?!?!?!), I would suggest you do not try to pass off three submissions as being from different people.
Clearly, these are all from the same people.
This forum should be used to report an issue (as you did in the first one) and make the public aware, not a forum to be deceiptive on.

I have resently opened a new grooming shop one mile down the street from the Doggie Parlor.
I am now getting alot of customers from the Doggie Parlor.
When I schedule a new customer at my shop I always ask where they went before.
It is to my joy as I own this new shop. That I am told they left the Doggie Parlor due to the conditions of the shop. Extremely dirty Ive been told.
It is with great satification that customers walking into my shop are stating how nice and clean my place is.
I also have a groomer that left that shop to come work with me at my shop.
The stories would fill up pages on here.
It is true the place is discusting inside.
Every time I drive by she has a pups for sale sign up.
She does not have a boarding or selling of live animals from the city.
I wish the city would get on her and inspect the place.
She buys pups from anyone that will sell them to her cheap. She resells the pups.
Isnt this a broker people? She is a grooming shop not a pet shop!!!
The owner of this shop knows what is going on. She dosent even care. She thinks its idle gossip.
Maybe even slander. The statements that have been said by everyone on this shop are all very true.
Go into her shop and then come into mine. See for yourself.
There are health codes for grooming shops. Rules we have to follow.
This woman dosent follow one rule. Report her people to the city.
It is a shame! Who wants to take their dog to a dirty grooming shop.
The shop is so outdated! She does use fans to dry animals. Cold air fans. To cheap to get a nice warm dryer like every other grooming shop.
So, do you think she cares for the animals when nothing is clean for them?
Please everyone call the city on her.
Yes she is my competition as far as grooming shops go.
I lie not!!!
Go into her shop then come to mine and just smell the difference!
Word of mouth is getting around the city about her and her dirty shop. She is making it so easy for my business to thrive.
The new groomer I have that left the Doggie Parlor has informed me the groomers there are nice clean good groomers. I was told the groomers at her own shop ask her to clean it up and she refuses. I hear they get discusted with the owner themselves.
I have a list of customers that left the Doggie Parlor to come to my shop. I also am telling them all about this page and asking them to add their complaints to the page also.
The business this woman is giving me I cant keep up with it all. Need good groomers--anyone--??
If she keeps this up Ill have all her business by the end of summer. hip hip hurray!!!
Please do your part in reporting this woman on line, to the city, to the animal control, to the dnr, to the health department.
No doggie deserves a dirty grooming shop. Its supposed to be their beauty care process and day out in comfort and to be pampered.

I used to take my dog to this shop for 5 years.
I was a first time dog owner and new to everything.
I started to notice after five years of going to this shop, that nothing ever changed.
As you walk into this shop,, it smells.
The cages are old,, some are even rusty and always dirty.
The walls are even dirty in this place.
She always has puppies for sale, which arent hers, but belong to someone else. She resells dogs!
I have also seen her own personal yorkies.
She breeds her female every time.
I also know of a woman that wanted to use her male stud dog. This woman walked out after seeing her male as he had a really bite.(?)
I found the people that work for this woman very nice. I was always happy with my dogs haircut.
I just could no longer stand how dirty the place was.
Many times when I went back to pick up my dog,, she was in a very dirty cage. and it wasnt from her.
I also didnt like to see the cold fans on animals.
They would be wet and having cold air on them.
Id still like to know what is in all the garbage bags you see stuffed all over the shop.
The place is just dirty,, and not pleasent to look at at all.
It is true she really need to clean up the place.
Just one look around and you feel your dog cant come out of this shop clean.
She is also related to the Diane Pitters everyone talks about. This woman doesnt even know who the mamms and pappas of her litters are.
My friend purchased a bishon from Diane Pitters.
Paid a large amount of money for the dog. Was told it would be around 8 lbs,, and the dog would have akc papers. Well she never got the papers and the dog is like 18 lbs.
These people really need to get it together.
Clean up the shop and clean up their act big time.
I also have moved on to another shop. Its very clean. You must show proof of shot records.
My dog is never at this shop more than three hours.
At the Doggie Parlor I would bring my dog in at 9 and it wouldnt be done till around 4 or 5.
Just stilling in a cage Waiting for someone to get around to her,, or sitting with a cold fan of air blowing at her.
Three days after my last grooming appointment,, my dog had to go to the vets. My dog had a severe
upper infection,,, a very bad cold if you will,, and had to be put on medicine.
When calling the owner,, I was told no way its not her fault. When I called back again and got one of the girls who grooms there and asked her if my dog could of caught a cold from the fans. Well I was told possible. She told me to call the owner.
I told her I did and didnt care for her, who cares attitude. I told her I would no longer be back.
About three days later I received a call from the owner. I didnt respond to her.
If this is how she runs a business with live animals that are loved like our children.
Well I just figure she dosent care to much.
There has to be some health code,, all kennels get checked out once a year to make sure they are clean and up to date. She kennels dogs there so why isnt she checked out and being forced to clean it up????
Also on days I took my dog into that shop,, if it was winter the place was freezing,, in the summer it was as hot as an oven. And I noticed dogs being kenneled. No heat or air left on for them over nite in my opinion.
The owner of this shop is Colleen Stanzack.
She is related to Dianne Piters, who which I am now informed works with the famous Debbie Jensen.
So just how horrible is that people!!!!????
