TESTIMONIALS

  • “We absolutely love Honey Pooch. Nuria, is not only an excellent groomer, she really listens to our requests, and is just so sweet and gentle with Coco. She talks to her and soothes her the entire time she is with her. Coco went from being really uneasy about her grooming experience (with previous groomers) to literally loving it. She knows that after Nuria is finished, she will get a cute toy, and we know that we are coming home to a beautiful, happy little dog with, a literal, bow tie to complete her look!”

  • "Nuria has been coming to our home to take care of grooming our Bichon for over 11 years now. She is completely extraordinary. For over 11 years she has showed up on time, never missed an appointment, always with a smile on her face and real joy in her attitude. She is highly gifted in her ability to build trust and love even with my very shy dog. Nuria loves and soothes her through every session and when Nuria leaves my dog has had a great time and looks so beautiful that people in the street stop me to ask me where she is groomed. This woman is a brilliant dog groomer and a brilliant dog whisperer and an absolute pleasure to have in our home. Thank you Nuria for 11 years of skill and professionalism and kindness."

  • "I want to thank Nuria and Honey Pooch for taking such great care of Rosie, our seventeen year old Havanese. Although Rosie has never been a fan of baths, Nuria has always been so gentle and loving that she calms down and enjoys her spa time. And when all is over, she prances around the apartment as if to say “look how beautiful I am! “. And she is beautiful as Nuria and the other groomers at Honey Pooch do such a great job with her styling and cut. Thank you,Honey Pooch,for your great service and sensitivity."
