Goldendoodles have become a popular choice for those seeking a pet in the Central Kentucky area.  The Goldendoodle breed is famous for being hypoallergenic, as they don’t shed.  You will find your Goldendoodle will be loving, loyal, and hyper in the first few years, but they will calm down to make a perfect companion.  Grooming and veterinary services are sometimes hard to find for these pets, so here is a review of two must visit businesses in the Central Kentucky area for Goldendoodle owners.

Before sharing the business information, here is the author’s qualifications for this review.  During the pandemic, this author’s wife started working from home while caring for their small child.  For companionship and protection, it was time to get a dog.  After research, the Goldendoodle breed was the best suited for their family’s needs.  This dog has been a perfect selection. 

As mentioned before, our Goldendoodle started out as a hyper pandemic puppy.  The runt of the litter, he quickly grew to 75 lbs. over his first 3 years of life.  He was easily trained, and he is a loving companion for all members of the family.  He is very gentle with children of all ages, and he is alert for any strangers who come too close to our front door.  The biggest challenge has been grooming due to the breed’s propensity for matting.  We have tried many local groomers with disappointing results.

Finally, we found the Yuppie Puppy.  Located in Stamping Ground, KY, this is a full-service dog grooming salon.  Nails, haircut, bathing, you name it.  What’s remarkable is that this business makes everyone feel welcome when they come in.  It’s not like other places where you seem like an inconvenience while they rush your pet in and push you out so they can get back to work.  The Yuppie Puppy listens to what you want for your pet, and they get to know you to ensure your needs are met.  Our Goldendoodle loves gong to this place, and they let him roam free in their space after he has been groomed due to him not wanting to be locked in a separate room.  They are dog lovers here, and it shows.  They recently moved to a larger location on Main Street in Stamping Ground, and they have a gumball machine for kids of all ages.  What’s more remarkable is that the machine is preloaded with a quarter!  This place is highly recommended!

The Yuppie Puppy is located at 3364 Main Street in Stamping Ground, KY.  It’s a 19 mile drive from downtown Lexington, but it is worth the trip.  Their phone number is 859-585-2147, and you can find them on Facebook for more information. 

Of course, if you decide to get a pet of any type, a good veterinarian is always your next concern.  Don’t worry about finding one via trial and error.  I’ve done that work for you.  Instead of calling around, go directly to Noble View Veterinary Clinic.  This Georgetown Clinic is staffed with a knowledgeable, patient, caring staff that will ensure your animal gets the best of care.  They explain everything to the pet owners to ensure each pet has the medical care they need.  Whether it is testing, checkups, or a treatment plan, you can trust Noble View to treat your pet properly.  I have been particularly impressed by their ability to keep us on schedule for vaccinations and flea and tick prevention treatments. 

Noble View Veterinary Clinic is located at 1002 Lexington Road #16 in Georgetown, KY.  Their phone number is 502-642-4147, and their website is nobleviewvetclinic.com.  Drive to Georgetown for this service, and you will not be disappointed.    

These two local businesses have helped us to keep our Goldendoodle in great shape.  If your family is anything like ours, you don’t have the time to find professionals for your pet care.  Use the Yuppie Puppy and Noble View Veterinary Clinic, and your worries will be gone.
