The Shaggy Dog - Glenwood Springs, Colorado

So kind, my dog was picking at her foot as we were driving through town from Denver and we stopped at this place. She pulled out a thorn and cut Marley‘s nails in less than five minutes and it was a fabulous experience. Highly recommend.

Great experience, they got me in for an appointment quickly and did a great job on my grumpy old rescue dog, Teddy. He is easily stressed and tends to be nippy. They didn’t charge me extra, only $95, and he seemed fine, not stressed out at all. He looks great just in time for the holidays, and they even gave him a cute bandana. They are friendly and great with dogs, definitely recommend.

Hi,

I have brought my dog in yesterday. When I went to go pick him up he was half way done and so was another dog. My dog is on medication. We have said multiple times HE NEEDS TO GO FIRST. Not noon not last minute NOW. This is unfortunate that I have to give my dog more medication, more stress him out even more. UNFORTUNATE!!!!! She was balling an you know that she felt bad. She even shaved his tail down way to much. Don't bring your dog here if you want them to be shaved all the way down and not finised!!!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! I'm in the pet industry, and I must say YEAH!! My boys (who were extremely matted, due to many health issues over the last year) are old and do not like to be groomed. Angela and Lacey did an amazing job. The boys were mat free and silky smooth. Their paws were perfectly groomed. I cannot say enough. Complete game changer for my sweet boys. 🙏

WARNING. DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS. I took my collie mix here for the first time since moving to the valley from Denver. I have never had an issue with grooming. I took my dog, Murphy, in to just get brushed out and washed and have a few of her tangles brushed out. This dog is not severly matted in any way. I very regulalry brush her and bathe her. I asked Angela to just brush out any tangles and trim the fur on her hindqurters and get her looking fresh! After dropping Murphy off I got a call asking me to sign a "Red Flag Waiver" for dogs that are severely matted and need to have matts shaved out in case of injury. I told her over the phone to NOT use any shaving device on my animal. Muph has had the same level of tangles when I have taken her to a trusted groomer in denver and NEVER have I been asked to sign a waiver or have they asked me to shave the dog. I told Angela to not shave the dog but to just lightly cut out any matts that needed to be cut out before brushing them out. I get a call shortly after to Angela telling me she had cut Murphy's ear and it had bled really badly and she had called a few vets. I was shocked. I Immediately went to get the dog and Angela handed me the fur matt she had cut off of Murphy's head. She did not just cut this animal. She actually scalped this animal. The gash was red and wide and straight to her head. I have never seen anything like this. For something like this to happen makes absolutely no sense to me. Angela immediately took a photo of the fur clump for her "own records" and told me the matt was so close to her head that she couldnt help but cut her. This is not true. Nothing excuses knowingly cutting an animal. This cut was negligent. I immediately took Murphy to Carbondale Animal Hospital where they had to sedate her under Anetheisia and give her stitches to fix the wound. She will be in a cone for two weeks. Angela asked me to follow up with her and let me know how Murphy was doing so I gave her a call back. I told her the severity of the situation and let her know I would like her to take responsibility for the vet bills. She immediately gaslit me and told me that when she called me and I told her not to shave the dog - that I gave her verbal consent to use scissors on my dog and hurt her. She has refused to take responsibility for this traumatic experience.

*** I worked with the bookkeeper to settle this matter. She treated me with kindness and this was made right with me within 48 hours of the incident.

The Shaggy Dog staff is very kind and friendly. They have always done a great job on our pup. I always recommend them.

The staff do an amazing job grooming. He loves to go without hesitation and that is enough for me to know he is safe and having fun with his doggie friends. I also like the new feature of texting to make appointments and the reminder texts when they haven’t seen you in a while.

WARNING - UNTRAINED GROOMERS!

My dog was massacred by an untrained groomer here. As is typical for a golden doodle, my dog had some slight matting around her neck (from her collar) and on her tail, where she had long hair. The groomer SHAVED MY DOG TO THE SKIN where she was matted. She looks absolutely ridiculous. The owner admitted they made a mistake, but made no other consolations. No refund. I've had my pets groomed hundreds of times. BIG CONGRATS to The Shaggy Dog for winning the award for the most untrained groomers and worst cut ever.
