Kosita's is awesome!

My dog has gotten notoriously bad hair cuts at many "chain" places and I was tired of him coming back from groomers seeming a little "out of it" or upset or stressed. In my search for a new groomer, I found all the great reviews on Yelp about Kosita's and decided to check them out. When I called to schedule the appointment with Sylvia, I mentioned that my dog wasn't very socialized and that he gets a little shy and weird around other dogs. So, she suggested that he come in for her first appointment of the day. The shop is very small and not much to look at, but after meeting Sylvia and seeing her interaction with my dog, I felt very comfortable. Shortly after dropping him off, we ran into Sylvia down the street at Progressive Grounds. She made it a point to let me know that he was doing well and actually socializing with two other small dogs that were dropped off at the same as our appointment. She also mentioned a few small dog groups in the area that might help my dog with his social skills, which I thought was very nice. Overall, Sylvia did a great job and totally took her time. My dog came out of his appointment looking adorable, but even more importantly, he was happy and had energy. I even got to watch the last little bit of his grooming since we had arrived to pick him up before he was done. Watching Sylvia's interaction with my dog meant a lot: not only does she have nothing to hide, but you can see that she truly loves animals and what she does. Her pricing is also very reasonable, considering the quality of work that she does and the time she puts into the "client." This is the first hair cut in a LONG time that my dog has received compliments on. He is no longer embarrassed and we definitely plan to go back to Kosita's when it's time for another grooming session.
