    First time trying this place and the experience was great! I called for a same day appointment and got in. My dog was ready in the time they estimated: 1.5 hours. He looks great, except I wish the mustache had been shaped better. Everyone was super friendly and I appreciate that. I love a quick and reliable service! I would use this place again.

    MAC Grooming is the best place I’ve been to so far! The owner is very kind and welcoming. Explained and took pics of my dogs condition and told me exactly what treatment he provided. My dog looks so good! I highly recommend them ! They offer exceptional service

    I cant say enough about the excellent services I have received for my fur babies. Environment clean, staff professional and kind, price excellent. If you have to take a vacation your fur baby will be very cared for. Luv you Mac Groomers..

    This is the only place I will take my shih tzu to get groomed. From availability to great service..10 out of 10! Every time he gets groomed they give complimentary bandannas and the clothing is very affordable. Lastly he always smells amazinggggg leaving.

    I bring my dogs here for grooming and I am always happy with how it comes out. They’re very gentle and loving towards the animals. I even leave my babies here for boarding and my dogs love it! I absolutely recommend this place for grooming and boarding

  • Review 9 (2020-07-12 - Rating: 5)

    Super kind and friendly! We are dog sitting a mom and her litter, the puppies nails were long and sharp so we called for a quick trimming, they told us it’s not a problem to come whenever we were able and we were able to help the pups not get caught on everything.Also they sent them all home with the cutest bandanas just for a little nail trimming! Thank you!

    I have a mini goldendoodle that I bring to be groomed at MAC Dog Grooming. Their groomers are patient and do a great job! The location is super clean and they do not keep your pet for unnecessary long periods of time. Grooming time is usually between 1-2 hours at most. They always listen to any requests I might have. Definitely recommend this place for all of your pets grooming needs!

  • Review 11 (2023-10-18 - Rating: 5)

    I was reluctant to take my new puppy here because of a couple of bad reviews but after thorough searching, it seems that is the case everywhere. I am so glad I trusted my gut and went after a neighbor’s recommendation! I was a little nervous because I wasn’t sure how my new puppy would react to his first grooming but Nick, the owner, made us feel we were leaving our dog in good hands. He answered all of my questions. I called ahead to ask about pricing, and he told me the base price and then of course like anywhere it is extra depending on how matted the dog is. We expected to pay a little extra for matting. When we dropped our dog off we didn’t talk pricing because I already had an expectation of paying a little above the base price. Nick called me back a few minutes after we dropped our dog off to let us know it would be a little extra. I liked that transparency and how he went out of his way to make sure pricing was clear before they began grooming him. The price was affordable and reasonable. Because I saw other staff there, I wanted to make sure Nick would be the one grooming him because he is the one who does my neighbor’s dog, and he ensured me every dog passes through his table during the grooming process - another thing that made me feel good about taking my dog here. When I asked how long before I need to bring my dog back to maintain his current look, Nick said to come back in 2 months. This is extremely reasonable as most places will tell you 6-8 weeks or sooner. I knew he wasn’t telling me to come back any sooner than needed to make $ off us. Nick looked happy to show us our dog’s new look and our dog looked happy with Nick. It is clear Nick runs a professional place and your dog will absolutely be in good hands here. I cannot say a bad thing about my experience, my little Cooper looks absolutely adorable & the best part is that Nick said he did so great and was so calm the entire time. That especially makes me feel we chose the right place. We will definitely be back!

    Easy to schedule, our Koko got great grooming from Nick, and the place looked good.

    I took my dog there for the first time and had an amazing experience! The service was fast, my dog was happy with her groomer (nick) I think and most of all I was truly satisfied with her haircut, bath and shampoo! Definitely pampering my dog here again! Thank you MAC! 🙏

    I LOVEEE THIS PLACE! They always put a ribbon and bandana on my baby ! This is the only place ive ever been to that my dog smells amazing for DAYS. They are great on prices and so kind all the time!❤️

  • Review 15 (2018-11-02 - Rating: 5)

    Hands down this groomer is a God send. He provides a great environment for your pet and he is accountable for your dog while in his care. My dog had a growth on his tail that burst while being combed. (This growth was hidden) he rushed my dog to the vet and our of his own pocket paid 350+ for emergency care. I cannot thank him enough for being a good hearted businessman. I believe that great service should be recognized and I am honored to write a stellar review on this buisness.

    They always treat my dog Rosie kindly and It feels good to have somewhere that I can always count on and trust to care for my dog. We will always remain loyal customers and friends of MAC dog grooming for our dogs boarding and grooming . Rosie Is always happy to go to spend time at MACs and always comes home looking great and smelling nice. I wish I could vote 10 stars for them!! Trust in them for your furry friends and you will not be disappointed.

    I take my pup here all the time and so far it has never been any issue with scheduling, my dogs haircut, pick up or payment. Very reliable, nice and caring workers. Im a vet assistant and I recommend this place to any

  • Review 29 (2021-02-25 - Rating: 5)

    My fur baby is a special case. He is the type to get nervous, anxious, and ultimately a handful when it comes to getting his nails trimmed or even grooming lately. I made a decision to take him to get his nails clipped by a professional and i dont regret it. He was being difficult but his groomer knew how to handle him. My fur baby and I left super happy. Loved the service, very friendly and felt very comfortable knowing the groomer was very knowledgeable.

  • Review 30 (2019-07-15 - Rating: 5)

    Took my dog Luna for her first time grooming and the groomer did such a really good job. Her hair was so uneven from a previous groomer and her hair looked like a mop. I searched for a professional groomer and stumbled upon MAC and I gave it a shot since they had a really good availability that fit my schedule. The place smelled really great and it was really clean the staff was friendly and Luna enjoyed her stay as well. I totally recommend.

  • Review 38 (2019-04-19 - Rating: 5)

    I took my Shih Tzu dog for a trim and bath. They did an amazing job with my Jerry. There was some discrepancy with the amount I had to pay, I was a bit turned off by that. I dont mind paying the extra cash but they didnt explain to me why it cost extra. My baby looked happy and well groomed when he came out. The place is updated and has a very relaxed feel. Its cozy and bright with a lot of room.

  • Review 39 (2021-09-09 - Rating: 5)
