U Wash Doggie at 24144 Lyons Avenue, Newhall, Santa Clarita, California.

We took our dog here last week and loved the way he looked after. He was very clean and his nails were cut so well for a good price! Two days later, he started yelping in pain whenever we pet his back or neck. We took him to the vet yesterday concerned about his back, and the vet discovered infected scabs (blood and pus) all down his spine and neck. The vet told us she sees this from groomers who comb too rigorously (leaving cuts in the skin) and do not sanitize their brushes, which leaves bacteria to infect the cuts. We paid a $100 vet bill and got him started on antibiotics. This is incredibly disappointing as it was our first experience with this groomer, and will definitely be the last. Please sanitize your brushes!
