i.e.Barbara is AMAZING. My dog is a rescue and has severe separation anxiety. I could never leave him with a groomer because he would bark or whine and be uncooperative the entire time. Getting a groomer to groom my dog more than once was impossible. That left me to do the bathing and grooming myself. A friend told me about Barbara at top dog pet spa,so I gave her a try. She worked with my dogs problem and had me stay the first time to help. OMG, now I can drop him of with no problems and I think he has a little separation anxiety from her when I pick him up. I would recommend top dog to everyone. Barbara's compassion and patience cannot be matched by any groomer in the area. I know this from experience., A local favorite, or highly recommended because
