Jen's All Natural Pet Spa

Dog running loose. Sally, I have not boarded your dog and the last time you came to see me was in 2005. Your dog never ran loose from my place. He was only here for grooming. I did not let him outside. We have 2 other groomers here in the neighborhood and one person who boards dogs who is a lady.

I think you have me mixed up with someone else.

All dogs here are kept behind 2-3 doors. Back in 2005, your pet stayed in my grooming room behind double french doors with the front door locked. I'm not sure what you are talking about.

I've managed one of the largest boarding facilities in the midwest and we always kept our dogs on leashes or behind double doors.

To the other owner regarding boarding: The rules are: once an owner comes into my home and opens up the grooming room door to get their dog, it becomes your responsibility to keep your dog on a leash and make sure that he doesn't get away. You didn't put your dog on a leash and you left my front door standing wide open. If you knew your dog would run, why didn't you shut the door behind you and put the leash on in the grooming room with the door shut? You were there. It isn't like I was on my own with your dog and he got away. You need to take responsibility for your own dog.…

Our dogs love their "spa day". My husband and I have two toy poodles puppies, one of which is quite small. We have been taking them to Jen's since last fall, and we couldn't be happier! The poodles always come back looking and smelling wonderful, and they sleep like logs when they come home from their little "spa day". The dogs like it so much they recognize when we're pulling into the neighborhood and get as excited as if they were headed for the dog park! They totally love this place!

Jen has also been very patient and helpful with identifying diet issues causing coat problems with our finicky little pups. Their coats are much softer and healthier now, thanks to her advice.

Occasionally, I have stayed and watched because it's great entertainment to watch a pro at work. No dog relishes being soaped up and hosed off, but the cool thing about the spa's washing gear is that it takes a fraction of the time I spend when washing them by hand, at home. So instead of being cold, wet, soapy and grumpy with me for half an hour while I wash them one at a time, they're both done together in a few minutes!

I'm pretty sure they know they're the cleanest, best groomed dogs at the dog park when they come back from Jen's -- they sure prance around like it!  I would highly recommend taking your dog to the pet spa!…
