We love GG at City Dogs 18th St NW for grooming! She was recommended to me by our awesome trainer and she even came to my house initially to meet my pup. Within seconds of meeting GG, I could tell why our trainer loved her so much — she is incredibly kind, earnest, and direct and her love for dogs is so clearly evident. All of that was even before she groomed my dog!
We’ve been going to GG at City Dogs for several months now and I could not be happier. We tried a number of different groomers in his first year before finding GG - some were fine, some were awful, but *none* compare to our GG.
If you know what you want in a groom, GG listens and respects it. If you don’t (like me!), she is happy to help and advise based on her many years of experience and training. I love that she knows more about how my 20-month old Portuguese Water Dog should be cut than me! For instance, I had never considered keeping his eyelashes longer but it has made a huge difference! He can see through his fluff for so much longer between grooms this way. She also gives me tips on keeping him brushed and fresh between visits with her.
GG has such a kind demeanor and my dog honestly loves her. She is patient with him when he gets anxious, gives him breaks when he needs them, and always keeps me in the loop throughout the day.
My favorite GG quote, re: my dog (obviously) being spoiled — “I always say, if you can’t spoil them, you shouldn’t have them.”
I could keep going but this is already too long.
TL;DR: GG is amazing all around and I am so thankful to have found her. If you love your pup and are looking for a new groomer, don’t hesitate to book with GG!
