Avalon Pet Salon Queen Creek, Arizona

I went in to get my dog's nails trimmed and they did a great job! Very gentle and speedy.

I took my 2 Goldendoodles here for the first time today. They were pretty matted unfortunately and I told them just to shave them down, no matter how it looks. When I picked them up, they were cuter than I pictured they'd be! They are extremely short, which is how i wanted them, but they were styled beautifully! The price was amazing too! I will definitely be a repeat customer.

It was great! My Kitty had never been groomed before and I was worried about her acting up but everything went so smoothly. They all did an awesome job with her.

Due to my regular groomer being fully booked, I brought my dog here and I'm so glad I did. I've never liked his haircut so much - every detail is perfect. It's taken me years but I finally found the perfect groomer! Thank you!!

Tammy is phenomenal. Our dog went to Family Friends groomer for a while, but she was always foaming at the mouth when I picked her up. Her anxiety was horrible. We found Tammy with a better price point and less dogs in the building to calm our pup. Totally recommend Avalon!

the ladies here were very nice and accommodating. i was nervous to bring my cat to be groomed because she’s terrified of everything but the staff treated her so well! plus she looked and smelled nice afterwards. i was in & out pretty quickly and it was reasonably priced especially for the love and care they appear to give to the animals. would recommend!

Such a reasonable price for such wonderful result. Owner Tami has decades experience. I've known her for two of those decades. Because I have my own pet consulting and behavioral training business... I will only refer to those groomers that I know not only have skills but the experience to make it a positive groom and simply love what they do. After all... it's also my reputation when I refer. Tami is that kind of groomer. I will drive the extra distance to Avalon if I have to personally bring a pet for a client. We had a long-term boarding senior pet that had mobility and sight issues. The pet's first time there and despite her Avalon being busy, she took the extra time being so considerate regarding his limitations. Any good groomer can likely make your pet look nice... It's the overall knowledge of understanding a pet's positive motivation, temperament, personality, struggles and/or limitations that assure a positive grooming experience. Tami has that. And being the salon owner, someone that doesn't have that won't last long working in her salon. She has high standards. Another groom that met all of my expectations. Looked super cute and obviously enjoyed the time with her. That old dog considered her a buddy and you could see how happy at pickup. Kept going back to her for some loving. And just in case if you're wondering... No I do not get any discounts. I pay whatever anyone else would pay and consider her work worth every penny. That's the end of my review for Avalon. Now my two cents worth to all the pet owners out there... sorry but now's the time for me to step on the soapbox as an animal behaviorist. I've trained for decades. I used to groom but did not want a grooming salon. I focus on my training and helping each pet be the best it can be. Focusing on positive puppy starts for the first groom... pets with special needs... and took the worst of the worst that had been out of other grooming salons. Over time... Every pet with grooming aggression I've ever worked on has improved to be the best it could be personally. Too often I had to explain to clients that unless they keep their dog maintained there's only so much a groomer can do to assure the final look. Also if your pet is difficult to work on... some pets are just not as friendly or don't like the groom process... Safety first and then the endeavor to make it as positive as can be with a good looking result. Without experience, a groomer may not even be able to complete a difficult pet. If a dog comes in a coat mess, a great groomer will do the best look/cut they can to assure a safe groom without over stressing the pet. That's what's going to keep your pet looking forward to grooming. So take the time to comb your pet. If they don't like being handled that's good experience at home to hopefully help them become more accustomed to grooming. Also it is good for your pet's skin health and makes grooming a much more positive experience. It helps a groomer provide the look/cut you desire for your pet to meet your expectations. So it's up to you to take accountability and realize that your expectations need to be reasonable... if you have a difficult and/or you're not willing to take the time between grooms. I am sure Tami will be happy to give you suggestions on the tools and the time required to maintain your pets coat between grooming. Ask her for the advice. She knows what she's doing and want your pets to be happy and healthy too. As I said... she loves what she does. Okay I'm stepping down from the soap box. ????

5 starts on everything. Thanks!

The best place to bring our dog!

Excellent trip for my mini Aussie foster and me! Tammy is such an adaptable, kind-hearted person and business owner. A clear passion for pets at Avalon. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent care and service, every single time. My dog runs straight to the bath, he loves it!! Tammy is the best!

Good at the basics. Would not return due to worst grooming haircut I have ever seen on my pet. Not sure if its lack of skill or poor equipment.

Great cut - owner good with all dog personalities - fair price.

Tammy was very kind and made you feel like family. When you first walk in, you instantly feel a sense of home. She has a fair-priced mini store to the side including shampoos, deodorizers (Cause all dog owners know we need that ????), brushes and more! You could tell all the staff cared about the dogs and made sure they had a comfortable time. I took my boy, Pugsley, who yelps almost every time he gets his nails trimmed, and he didn’t make a noise (at least from what I heard myself). I could feel he trusted Tammy. Thank you for letting my boy smile again!!!

The owner is very friendly and was able to accommodate our 2 cats on short notice. Quick in, quick out.

Good most private salons aren't as nice as these girls. But leave a video camera to watch your beloved pet while your feasting lunch.

Did a fantastic job on our standard poodle, and is reasonably priced. Will for sure be back! Highly recommend!

Tammy does a great job! Reasonably priced.

I was nervous to take my cat to the groomers for obvious reasons. Cats, more specifically my cat, doesn’t do well being outside of the house, she’s easily scared by people, and loud noises send her into a panic mode. Also, theres not a lot of places and reviews out there targeted to cats. I was pleasantly surprised by my overall trip here. My cat responded well to the designated room and the groomer who was great with her. Very reasonable priced too. I’d recommend Avalon pet salon, I’ll be back!

Tammi always does a great job on my great job on my golden retriever. Her prices are very reasonable. She is an owner operator who really loves animals.

my second time back with my 90 pound long haired st bernard/australian shepard mix. they did a great job, his tail is gorgeous and his ears are supercute. he's a wiggly dog and he turned out great again. thanks guys!

Avalon Pet Salon in Grand Rapids does a fantastic job. Your pet will look beautiful, smell fresh and clean, and have neat nails. You will be very pleased with the results. Highly recommend Avalon Pet Salon!
