"The Midnight Walk service is a godsend for my nocturnal Great Dane. The handlers are professional, eerily punctual, and treat Shadow with such reverence. It's rare to find a service that understands the gothic soul of a large breed."
"Finally, a local groomer who understands that 'scruffy' is a lifestyle, not a mistake. My terrier Barnaby came back looking dashingly haunted. The atmosphere is calm, not chaotic like other salons."
