Testimonials -  A note from the parents of the dogs I serve at the DC Pet Spa.

Good morning, Jodi!
 
I can't thank you enough for the wonderful "spa experience" you gave Avi.  He looks sooo wonderful and definitely seems to know it! 
 
Your skill at grooming and making him look "show ready" is outstanding.  It's evident how much you love your work and the animals (even though we know they're really little people in furry suits!).  I could see that love by the care and patience you take with each snip and movement of the razor. As I told you, I've had 3 Schnauzers since the mid-seventies.  NEVER have I seen any of my little guys come out with such a fantasic cut, much less breed-standard as you gave. And, you are so very gentle and reassuring to the dog so that  the grooming experience is not frightening or hurts. I so appreciated being able to watch such a talented professional in action, especially on our first visit...of which I hope there will be many more to come!
 
And thank you for all the photos of his "after" and the shampoo.   You really go above and beyone for your clients.  I'm so fortunate to have found you.  Please give Sable, Dixie, Sage, Lavender and the "gorgeous" George a hello and scratch behind the ears from me.  They are a wonderful and well-behaved pack.  And to the adorable Liam and Sean Patrick...very nice, polite boys!
 
Again, you are amazing...Avi and I look forward to our next visit.
 
Kind regards, 
 
Ina

My Dalmatian and I want to thank Jodi for the very special care she gave.  My dog Misty is very close to me and spends the majority of her time by my side.  Misty does not do well with other people, animals or water.  Jodi made us both feel very relaxed before I left and when I returned not only was Misty the prettiest dog I’ve seen, but she was also the calmest.  She even met a friend!  Thank you again Jodi for your kindness and gentle spirit with my baby, your helpful tips, and your warm demeanor.  See you next month!

I'm thrilled to have found DC Pet Spa. Jodi is the first groomer in 8 years to have done a beautiful job on my bearded collie. Other groomers have thrown up their hands and left him matted. Jodi did a magnificent job. I'll be a regular. You should be too!

We just wanted to let you know that Obie and JoJo look so great.  As you know, JoJo was not given the patience and time needed at previous dog groomers, and was labeled a “problem dog” as a result.  We feel so lucky that we found someone who understands these issues, and knows how to work with them!  We could tell that both dogs were very happy and relaxed when we picked them up.  We just keep looking at them and can’t get over how cute they are now!  Thank you so much!  Photos are attached."
