Customer Reviews
Here’s what some satisfied customers have to say about the grooming service their pets received from Central Bark:
“I recently rescued a dog from northern Manitoba and she was in bad shape and needed to be trimmed badly to help remove ticks. Even though this place was booked for weeks they understood my situation and made time to schedule me an appointment without having to wait weeks. I highly respect this groomer and the staff. Much love”―Jelly’s owners Shyann & Marilou
We took our 8 month old puppy Bennie here for a full groom. While he was a little bit nervous going in, he was so relaxed and happy when we picked him up, and they did an amazing job on the groom! They made him look so close to the style we asked for, and we couldn’t be happier.”―L Ikono

Customer Reviews
People praise Golden Pet Home for their friendly staff and professionalism.
“We brought our shih tzu for grooming as they did a great job. They listened to everything I said and were careful with his sensitive paws. He was super happy when I picked him up and they gave him a super cute bow! We will definitely be back.”―Christine Albert
“Had a grooming appointment at Golden Pet Home. First, the facility is new and clean. I’m really happy with the cuts and how Luna (my husky) seemed very calm and happy when I picked her up. Staff is extremely nice and caring, they listen to my request (I like her butt a little round) and the groomer did a fantastic job on her!”―Zhang Wendy
“My dog has anxiety, especially when it comes to grooming, as a result of a bad experience. This place was amazing. She was happy when I picked her up and had no hesitancy to go in. She let them trim her nails and do her teeth which is HUGE for her. The price was pretty awesome for a large breed as well. They were incredibly kind to use both over the phone and in person, and they finished her grooming in under two hours, when other places usually take four-six, and it was done well. I like that my dog was not sitting in a kennel by herself for several hours waiting to be groomed. We will definitely be going back!”―Samantha Reid

Customer Reviews
Here are some reviews from people who love the way Oliver grooms their pets:
“Highly recommend Oliver to anyone who needs their fur babies groomed! Dusty no longer comes home worn out from stress like he has with other groomers. Which we appreciate very much as he is in his senior years now. He’s also just a naturally anxious dog who doesn’t like certain parts of his body groomed. However, Oliver manages to do excellent work every time. Thank you Oliver! We’ll continue coming back for as long as we can.”―Mary A.
“Oliver is the best groomer I’ve met. Pickup and drop off are very easy. Boo (pictured) comes home looking great, happy & on time. Highly recommended.”―Richard Mayes
“Oliver is great! Quick response and he tries his best to squeeze in my dog for grooming in a timely manner. Always happy with his service. Highly recommended! He even kept my dog there when I was running late to pick him up.”―Monette Garcia

6. Mutkut Dog Grooming
| SERVICES | Dog bath, full dog grooming, dog nails, ear cleaning, dog sitting, pick up and delivery service |
| WEBSITE | http://www.mutkut.com/ |
| ADDRESS | 150 Semple Ave, Winnipeg, MB R2V 1B3, Canada |
| CONTACT DETAILS | Phone: 204-336-0111 Email: contact@pawadisepetcare.com |
| OPERATING HOURS | Monday – Friday, 10 AM – 6 PM Saturday, 11 AM – 4 PM |
Focusing mainly on dog grooming, Mutkut offers a wide plethora of services for the “hooman” of the family. Customers like that most days, same-day grooming appointments can be accommodated.
We like that Mutkut is focused on both quality products and services. They only use high-quality shampoos and conditioner brands such as Burt’s Bees, Nature’s Specialties, and Tropiclean, and will only use items that they themselves have used on their own dogs.
Being a family-run dog-grooming business, Mutkut treats all dog customers like their own, which we love. They make it a point to connect with the dogs first before rendering any service, addressing anxiety they may feel upon being left in a new environment.
Customers appreciate how they go the extra mile to make dogs feel comfortable by allowing them to roam around the space while preparing, instead of keeping them in cages.
We also like that they will tailor the service to the unique needs of the dog, without charging extra for specialty products like hypoallergenic shampoos.
We think it’s great that they offer gift certificates all year round, as their service would make an excellent gift for any dog-loving friend. Keep in mind, though, that they only groom small to medium-sized dogs and only offer dog nails for regular customers, which is understandable.
Pros
- Same-day grooming possible
- Use of high-quality shampoos and conditioners
- No extra charges for conditioning, colognes, or hypoallergenic shampoos
- Gift certificates available all year round
Cons
- No walk-ins
- No full grooming for dogs over 40 lbs.
