    I have yet to have a positive experience with Petco grooming on commercial Street in Salem, Oregon. I will never go back. They seem irritated with my presence and my dog’s presence and the fact that we want services at all. They work very hard to turn us away every time. I go in for a walk-in service however I’ve been reprimanded for not making appointments and I’ve also been reprimanded for making appointments. In the time it takes them to find reasons to not trim my pups, fanny and feet they could have done the job five times. They have been rude on the phone and in person every time. I even was reprimanded for calling to cancel my appointment because I had a flat tire and had to have my car towed. They were extremely rude, even though I took my time to call them to cancel my appointment for something that was completely out of my control. Awful!!!! My dogs are the loves of my life and should never be made to feel as if they are a burden for a service that is being paid for.

    2 Star Review by Dana J.

    After months of spray tanning fit into my schedule, my routine is 2x per week I shower after work, put on the lotion for the salon, and run over there in clothes to sleep in. Then I go home and just in bed, shower in the morning, and am happier when I look on the mirror. At the end of a bad day, self care is amazing. Yesterday I was

  • God's children.

    Justin and Dustin are AMAZING! It was not an accident that brought me to meet them, it was divine intervention. They went above and beyond. I wish I could describe my personal interaction with them because it would take too much time. For all intents and purpose, let's just say that if you want a true person of God, with honest intentions to provide you with the best service, go to MS Auto Glass in Salem, Oregon. They are right on the corner of State and 25th Street. Trust me when I say that you will be treated with respect and integrity by Justin and Dustin. Please go through them for any of your glass repair services. You will be pleased with their attention to detail, but most importantly, their respectful nature. I don't normally give reviews, but this review is well deserved. God bless Justin and Dustin.

  • Compassionate and Accommodating

    My sweet cat Zelda has been suffering for cancer since we found out for 2 1/2 months and we made sure that she lived every single day of that. She went for walks and adventures and on camping trips and enjoyed every moment. We love our primary vet, and they’ll be receiving a 5 star from me too, but for now I want to focus on Hoffmann Vet. Zelda was scheduled to finally be put down on Saturday. She had to be put down on Friday and our primary vet wasn’t available. Zelda loved being outside for long periods, and so we couldn’t always supervise, which had been fine until that Friday afternoon. She reached around her cone with her back foot and scratched at her face, and she began to bleed. We cleaned her face, and made her comfortable, but no matter what we did, the steady drip of blood didn’t stop, and it was apparent her time had come, earlier than we had hoped. I hurriedly started contacting vet’s by email, as I couldn’t make it through a phone call, asking for quotes for same day euthanasia and later private cremation, as there was a lot we couldn’t afford. Hoffman vet got back to me within 10 minutes of receiving my email, and gave me an affordable quote, and said they can see us now or at 4. At first I hoped Zelda could last till 4, but after looking her over again, I called them back asking if now was still on the table. It was. Zelda was in pain, and so the ride to the vet was not the peaceful drive I had hoped it would be. Midway through I called them again because Zelda seemed to be having a seizure, and asked the staff if they could meet us out side, they said they could. Zelda had a second seizure as we arrived, and two lovely ladies met us outside with a towel. They took Zelda through the back to administer the sedative and took us through the front of the clinic. We didn’t have to wait long and Zelda was much calmer after the sedative. They gave us all the time we asked for with her, and allowed us to comfort her as they administered the final inject, and after a thorough check, Zelda was gone. They were so so compassionate as I was not in a composed state, and they clipped some fur for us to keep from her tail. They wrapped my Zelda up in a soft blanket and took her away when we were ready. They work with heavenly wings crematorium, and they had a folder of different urns and boxes for us to look through for the private cremation. They offered us water and any comfort they could, to us and Zelda. We are not patients. We’ve never interacted with Hoffman vet before, and they took us in and treated us and Zelda like friends. Compassionate, affordable, and impossibly kind, I can’t recommend their practice enough.

She is tireless in attending to details and kept us advised of changes along the process of both selling and purchasing our homes..

    10/10 Quality and Comfort

    Once again, I am wholeheartedly endorse and support the amazing Annaliese and Elyssa! Their talent, customer service, and overall presence are unmatched! I wanted to schedule a family shoot and even though that is not one of their normal services, they agreed to take our photos! I knew that our photos were going to be amazing because of my previous experience with them and I was not disappointed! Once we got to the location the flow was natural and smiles came easy! You can see in our photos the genuine joy and love my family has for one another. I am in awe of Finch + June skill at capturing all of the emotions in one image. I cannot stress enough how amazing Annaliese and Elyssa are and thank them for bringing out the best smiles and laughs!!
