"Ive been bringing my dog to Buddies for a couple of years now and weve never been disappointed! The level of care, attention and quality they put into their work is second to none. They are so knowledgeable and I know my fur baby (who is easily nervous and anxious) is in good hands when he goes for his groom. Thank you for taking such great care of Kikko!"
