Puppy Tale Lodge

Leaving our puppy at daycare with Stephanie and Sonny is the best decision we ever made. We love the small intimate atmosphere, and like that it is a smaller group for our puppy to play with. We had tried to leave him at daycare at other places with many more dogs and could tell that he was not happy. With Stephanie, our puppy had a small group of puppy pals that he plays with everyday and we can see how happy he is when is at home. He is much calmer, well behaved and social-able with other dogs. Stephanie has also groomed our puppy as well, and he always looks like a million bucks! Perfectly groomed, smells good and I can tell that Stephanie gives a lot of focus and attention to making him feel comfortable! We will definitely keep going to Stephanie for years to come!

I cannot say enough good things about Stephanie and Sonny! I have been taking my French Bulldog puppy here and they have taught him (and ME) so much in such a short time! Stephanie truly cares about each and every pup in her facility. I appreciate her and Sonny's patience with my puppy. If you're looking for an awesome daycare, look no further. Bonus points: they even teach your pup tricks! Archie already learned touch & high five! 🙂 and they send lots of pictures and videos!!

Stephanie is a master groomer and is so knowledgeable about the proper way to groom a particular breed of dog. Sonny is so caring with Gracie that as soon as she sees him she can't wait to get inside. I have always been uneasy in the past leaving my dog with other groomers. But I have complete confidence that Gracie will not only be well-taken care of, but she will come out looking great. And she does!

UPDATE - the owners reached out after this review to discuss what happened, provide clarity around what the final accurate pricing should’ve been, and remedied with a refund. I appreciate the great customer service and am happy to bring my dog to a place owned by people who care so much! - The person at the front desk was nice, however I would not recommend coming here for a groom unless you’re okay with extremely variable/not locked in pricing. Dropped off my dog (10 lbs) with the expectation that the groom cost would be around $110 + $15 for a deep teeth clean. Picked her up and was charged $175 instead, $50 more than expected and still before tip. I’m no stranger to slight price increases based on fur type but this was much more significant with little to no explanation. Seems like a nice place overall but just wanted to share so no one else gets stuck with a much larger bill than they planned for!

Dog owners are understandably concerned about finding the best place for daycare. Look no more! Finishing Touches with Stephanie and Sonny is exactly where your dog belongs. Their daycare is professional, clean, and organized — all in a fun and nurturing environment. My mini-Cockapoo races through the door every time we arrive. I think that’s the best review of all.

Stephanie and Sonny are just wonderful and very caring. My dog is a rescue and Stephanie and Sonny take such good care of him. He always looks spiffy and proud after each grooming. I immediately got at ease with Stephanie because she is very detailed and specific, and clearly knowledgeable about dogs. She has been godsend. She walked me through the paperwork she needed before bringing my dog in, and I appreciate that she won't take non vaccinated dogs or not having the paperwork signed by the vet. She was upfront about cost and that depending on his coat's condition she clearly stated there could be additional charges. She is trustworthy and dependable. And she is the only groomer who actually cleans his teeth! She does a fantastic job. His ears and paw pads have never been cleaner. On his first visit Stephanie told me that something was going on with his pads, that there an unusual smell and she had to clear fungus. I can attest to this because his previous groomers didn't clean them deep enough. When I drop him off she gives me an approximate time frame when to pick him up and calls 30min before he's ready. She's available by phone and email. I highly recommend Stephanie if you want a peace of mind and have your dog look and feel great. Thank you so much Stephanie and Sonny!

We brought our 9 month old mini Goldendoodle Latke to Finishing Touches, and we were so happy with our experience! Latke looks like a princess, this is by far the best haircut she's had. Stephanie was so thorough providing details before, during, and after the grooming, and gave me some very helpful tips and insights for taking care of Latke's coat at home. You can tell Stephanie and Sonny truly value and take great care of all their clients. High recommend them!
