For those of you that have small breed dogs who need frequent grooming, you know that finding a good groomer can be a challenge. Our Yorkie typically needs to be groomed every 4-6 weeks, or he begins to look like we pulled him out of a dumpster the day before. That being said, we had seen another groomer in Iowa City a few times. He was great, but costly. A friend had suggested Brennemans to groom and Im pretty pleased with how it turned out. We asked for a modified Westie cut and they produced nicely. While the ladies seemed a bit rough around the edges, they seemed confidant with handling the dogs. His face was cut a tad bit shorter than I showed (brought a picture with me), but he was done exactly on time, and the full body groom was $30. From what Im told, the store has been around Iowa City for decades and it truly feels like your "Mom & Pop" type store. They had a GREAT selection of dog chews, food and treats. Even better than the large chain in Coralville.... Well be back!

They did a wonderful job bathing and clipping my cat! I was worried since I had never brought an animal to a groomer before but I can tell she was handled gently (She was relaxed and purring with the groomer holding and petting her when I picked her up, she doesnt let many people do that!) and they did a great job giving her a smooth all over even clip. When I dropped Harriet off the groomer was handling a cat that was not thrilled about being clipped and had scratched her, but she was very calm about it and handling the cat gently and appropriately, I was very impressed! Harriet will definitely be going back :-)

We accidently parked over their property line when we were at the business next door. Mind you, there is no definite line that says which property is which. There is a sign, but it sits right next to their front door which does not designate sides either. They were very rude when "asking" us to move (He pretty much yelled at us to get off his property), even after we apologized numerous times. We will never visit this business, we will definitely find anywhere else if we need their kind of service.

Weve had many groomers before, and had some anxiety with all but one of them. Then our vet suggest Brennemans! Love it! Professional atmosphere.. Our 16 yr old, has been so mistreated previously at groomers, I dreaded who would want to do his fur. Miranda is awesome! Shes so patient. I tell her I dont expect perfection, I just want him to see, but he always looks fantastic!!

Ive been going to Brennemans off and on for 20+ years, depending on the dog food Im using. Ive recently discovered their grooming service and I really love it. My golden retriever can be a handful and when I pick him up he is happy, looks great and smells wonderful for a couple of weeks! I recommend for grooming.

The fish room at this pet store is like something out of an early David Lynch movie. It smells filthy and the tanks look horrible, often with dead fish bobbing around. Ive wanted to like this old-school pet store so Ive gone in a couple of times. Its really almost hilariously awful.

We take our dogs here every few months for a complete clean, trim, and nail clip. We love it! Fair prices with friendly people who also sell virtually any pet toy or food you could need. They also do $5 walk-in nail trimmings every 3rd Sunday, great deal!

This pet store scares me. I went in recently and the floors were very dirty. The clerk wasnt very friendly either. Also my brother bought a parakeet from here once, and the clerk who grabbed him hurt the poor little bird. Not recommended.

its not a sterilized mall type environment, but they have a helpful staff the makes the competition look like a bunch of amateurs, and a great selection of pet food. The cat we bought from them is an absolute joy to have in the home.

Brennemans has been around as long as I can remember. They definitely need some help with cleaning/organizing and product placement but otherwise a good place to go. Id rather give my money to them than wal-mart.

Excellent groomers, very friendly and patient, even with the most stubbornly headstrong dogs. Theyre pretty busy though, so youll want to ask about an appointment as soon as you think you need one.
