Dog Grooming

• Review from Jon K.

  Troy even watches my boys for me now when I'm out of town. He picks them up, takes good care of them and then returns them freshly washed even. Greatest grooming company ever, Troy rocks!

  I just took my Yorkie Luna to 'A Family Affair' today, it was our first visit. My Yorkie can be a very bad girl when it comes to grooming and sometimes it takes groomers a bit longer to finish her. Not only was she done sooner than I was told, but they did a GREAT job!
  
  I also love that they don't use cages and they also offer teeth cleaning with no anesthesia. I HIGHLY recommend taking your pet to 'A Family Affair' I was very pleased.

• You want your four legged furry baby to have the best groomer in Metro Phoenix?  Stop looking NOW!  Troy is the absolutely The BEST!!!!  I have 7.5 year old soft-coated wheaten terrier male, who is the biggest baby.  He is always excited to see Troy, maybe not the actual grooming, but his anxiety is loads less then from the past groomers.  Troy is the best :))

• Troy has been grooming my pack of 5 for years and ALWAYS does an amazing job.  I don't know how they get to be so raggedy looking, but as bad as they get, Troy consistently drops off a pack that looks like they could each enter a dog show.
  Yep, I said "drops off" and that's just half of the cool thing about A Family Affair Pet Grooming.  He also picks up!  How cool is that?  I don't have to worry about loading everyone into the car and driving them down the street anymore.  Troy picks the dogs up and drops them back off at the house when he's finished!
  Gotta love a company that recognizes and caters to a busy lifestyle.
  He's great with dogs, too - even Scout (that HATES ALL GROOMERS).  He's patient, friendly and the dogs like him a lot!

• As a newcomer to living in downtown Phoenix, we had to find a new place to take our Yorkie, Ghillie.  I have to say it is the best haircut she has ever had.  She looks adorable and was so relaxed when we picked her up less than two hours later. I would definitely recommend Troy.

  Review from Michael P.

• Troy has been grooming my pets for over 15 years. I think that says a lot! I trust him with my little ones as I know he treats them as his own. His love of animals is apparent. His creative grooming is a cut above the rest. There is always something going on at A Family Affair and he is always giving back to the community. If the words "safe", "cage free, " "and all natural" sound like what you would want for your kids, this is the place to be. reasonably priced with great attention to detail. Troy gets my HIGHEST recommendation.

  Review from Arana W.

• I usually give Layla (black lab/pointer mix) baths at home...but with her black nails, I am afraid to trim as I can't see the quick.
  
  They've been getting long...last pedicure was at the vet in early March - and I have scratch marks all over me to prove it.
  
  I found A Family Affair by the Happy Hour sign on 16th St.  I went in last week, spoke with Troy, and made an appointment for today to have Layla's nails trimmed.
  
  She is a nervous dog, not thrilled to be on a leash and not happy to be handled by strangers.  That said, we had a GREAT experience!  She was handled gently, spoken to softly, and I was allowed to go back and pet her head and talk to her while getting the clipping done.
  Fast and painless...they even used a dremel to file down the edges so they are smooth.
  
  I will definitely be back for all our nail visits...and next time, I think I'll let them take care of the bath, too!

  Review from CLARA B.

• I have been going to Troy for a little over a year. I was referred to him by one of my coworkers who overheard me talking about how I needed to find a reliable groomer whose prices were not outrageous.
  
  I have Ruby, a Toy Rat Terrier, who is banned for life from Petsmart because she does not dig being caged up and took a bite out of several employees, and proceeded to run around the grooming area and excite all the other dogs into frenzy. I also own Stella, a Yorkie/Schnauzer mix. She also had quite the exciting time at Petsmart, they muzzled her when they were grooming and she got so worked up she passed out.
  
  So on a recommendation I brought my dogs to Troy and have not gone anywhere else since. Ruby has a tri color coat but loves to roll in the dirt, so her white parts become VERY dingy. What ever shampoos Troy uses are amazing because she always comes back with a bright white shiny coat. Stella has fur like a troll doll, and does not like to be combed. She sees the brush and she hides. She gets pretty raggedy, but Troy works his magic and she always comes out looking great. He uses a dremel (sp?) on their nails so they do not snag on my clothes or bedding when they return from being groomed. His pricing is amazing and the atmosphere makes the dogs think that it is fun to get groomed rather then a punishment. I would recommend Troy to anyone that needs dog grooming.

• I have been going to A Family Affair for a few years now. Troy A. is an amazing groomer .  What is even more important to me is that he is so passionate about his career. He truly loves animals and always shows them special affection.  When my dog Gabe became ill, I could tell that Troy really cared. A Family Affair has full grooming services as well as non anesthesia teeth cleaning.  I already have my dog Copper booked for her cleaning at the end of March.  You should try it too!

  Review from Bob M.

• We found Family Affair by searching the Internet for a groomer and came upon Troy's website. We both read the entire posting and were impressed by what we read and Troy's credentials. Currently, we have been going to Family Affair for well over a year. Troy does a great job on our Poodle and Bischon.
  
  At first, not having ever been to Family Affair, I was a bit apprehensive about what to expect, and; the dogs said they wanted to go someplace where they would get "cookies" for being good dogs. After meeting Troy and checking out his shop, (Tillman and Luna both were wagging their tails when they met Troy, so you know they immediately liked and trusted him), I was satisfied my dogs would be receiving the best of care. The shop was clean, organized, and of course, cage free as advertised and not some assembly line grooming salon like what I had been using in the past. Plus, Family Affair has a clean, enclosed area out back where the dogs can roam and play before and after grooming.
  
  My wife and I were very pleased when we picked up the dogs and have recommended Family Affair to everyone when they ask about where our dogs go for grooming. We have never been disappointed by Troy's grooming skills and he always clips their hair to the length we specify.
  
  Troy, all we can say is "THANKS for taking such good card of our babies."
