Luxe Pet Resort — Local services in Boston

I brought my dog to Luxe Pet Resort to be bathed and groomed. I was immediately told by the receptionist that I was thirty minutes late and my appointment was canceled. I showed her the text message I sent to the groomer asking if I could come a half hour later. The groomer replied "Sure can!" The groomer came out, looked at my dog and told me that he was badly matted and that she would just shave him. I said I didn't want that. She said she was sorry and walked away.

When I arrived, the first thing I heard was the male employee outside in the fenced in yard screaming at one of the dogs. I am all for stern discipline when it comes to pups, but this was far beyond that. When initially meeting him, for my dogs first visit he immediately had an attitude, was rude, and dismissive. My dog has been to multiple daycares/playgroups 2-3 times a week for 2+ years and this is one I would never recommend. I'm very happy that I will not...
