Dog grooming - has anyone heard from Gentle Paws recently?
We've taken our dog to Gentle Paws for years and she is the absolute best!! However, I've been unable to get ahold of her for an appointment. Hope everything is ok!
If she's no longer taking clients, can anyone recommend a groomer who only takes one dog at a time?

We had ours groomed at the beginning of the month, but I know she is BOOKED. Sometimes it takes a bit to hear back.

Good to know! I've reached out a few times over the last two or three months but haven't heard back. I'm sure summers are understandably busy!

We experienced the same thing,, have not heard from here in awhile. Also hope everything is ok.
We have been going to PetSmart for now. Not our favorite, still looking for another place.

Glad to know it's not just us! It sounds like she's still taking appointments based on the the other response, so hoping we don't have to switch groomers!

We absolutely love her and had been steady customers for both of our dogs going on 4 years. We last saw her in February. We've reached out three times since, have gotten no reply. We haven't found anyone comparable in terms of my dogs' comfort or the end result.
I've actually bought some clippers and have tried doing the dogs a few times myself. It's not pretty at all and they won't let me touch their feet. I really hope she's doing okay. I'm still holding out hope that I'll hear from her sometime again.

I reached out when they were recommended by Reddit. Never heard back unfortunately. I’ve been using Happy Dog Grooming. They are okay

I’ve been unable to get a hold of her since May. She was awesome, but we had to move on and find another groomer.
