Best kennel in Ridgefield, Washington (WA) 2024

I have nothing but great things to say about this place. I have a 5 year old Samoyed and know how difficult her coat can be. We have been to at least half a dozen groomers in her life, and never found somewhere as great as Columbia Canine Cottage. I was referred by a friend of mine and got in touch with Keely who is absolutely amazing. She makes myself and my dog feel so comfortable at drop off. She is so sweet and loving to my dog, which is super important to me because my dog has separation anxiety. Keely will text me pictures of my dog during or after the groom to show me how things went. When I pick my dog up, she does not show any signs of stress, only excitement upon seeing me. Keely also makes time to sit and talk with me after the groom to let me know how things go. She does not ever make me feel rushed or unheard and instead reassures all my worries. She also has my groom completed in around 2 hours which is mind blowing because other places will have my dog for 4-5 hours. She does an amazing job with the wash, blow dry and brush, and trims up the paws and sanitary area. I am thankful that she does not trim parts of my dog that she shouldn't (as other groomers have done before). I have started to use them for more than just grooming, because I know my dog is comfortable there. I have started leaving her for the day, or "doggy day care", to let her get more comfortable with the other dogs and being there for longer periods of time. I feel very comfortable leaving her for longer periods of time and will be taking advantage of their boarding program for my next trip. Again, so thankful to have found this place! Thanks for always taking such great care of my baby girl<3 ~Samantha
