Button Nose Grooming & Pet Supply — Local services in La Cañada Flintridge

This place was recommended by a friend for a deshedding for my golden retriever. I called ahead and asked for pricing and the customer service rep on the other end of the line quoted me $70. No problem, asked if I could drop off my golden retriever that afternoon and I did.

Sometimes shopping local means spending a little more, but that's not the case here. Often you can find options cheaper than their Internet counterparts, but their selection is more limited.
