I had a very disappointing first experience with Andy as the intended groomer. I brought my doodle in for her first grooming appointment fully expecting that I would have a consultation on what would be the best kind of grooming for her, especially as a new doodle owner. Instead of educating me in a kind and professional way, I felt shamed. Andy made comments such as, “You shouldn’t be doing it yourself unless you’re a professional groomer,” which came across as judgmental rather than helpful.

We absolutely love this place! Every time Ella comes back home, she looks extra cute—so fluffy, clean, and clearly well taken care of. You can tell Andy really pay attention to the details and treat her with so much care. Even though we’ve moved farther away and it’s now quite a drive for us, we still find ourselves wanting to come back because they’re just that amazing. Totally worth it every time. Highly recommend! 🐶✨

My dog needs happy visits to get better, and Beano will be helping us with it for free. I am so happy to have a place to work with my fearful boy in a fear free environment.

About As the Fur Flies (North) - Formerly GroominGavyn LLC

As the Fur Flies opened its first Austin salon in July 2018, and the company says it added this north Austin location in 2022. It describes the north shop as staffed by master groomers who work on both cats and dogs. The business notes it was formerly GroominGavyn LLC.

Scope of work at As the Fur Flies (North)

The website names three main services. A full groom adds an all-over haircut to the bath package. Bath and tidy adds a trim around the face, feet and sanitary area.

The basic bath covers a blowout, ear cleaning and a nail trim, among other steps. The company says curly coats such as Poodles and doodles start at a higher price.

How As the Fur Flies (North) books and prices a groom

The salon is open 9 am to 5 pm Monday through Saturday and closed Sunday. Online booking gives only a starting price, the website states. At drop off, staff talk through the haircut, coat condition, behavior and any allergies, then send an updated price once the pet is on the table.

Austin's NOAA normals for 1991 to 2020 put the mean temperature at 68.2°F, with an average high of 79.7°F and an average low of 56.7°F. The same period carries 1741 heating degree days and 2948 cooling degree days.

What customers say about As the Fur Flies (North)

The salon holds a 4.7 rating across 128 Google reviews. Reviewers most often mention patience with large, matted or nervous dogs, along with cat grooming and advice on cuts. Several describe a clean, welcoming shop.

One first-time customer felt the opening consultation was more critical than helpful.

The company states its stylists are Fear Free and safety certified, and its website lists groomer Gavyn Freeman as a National Certified Master Groomer and Educator and a member of the National Dog Groomers Association of America.

A groomer or vet with a cat, a fearful dog or a curly-coated or matted dog to place can send the client to this north Austin salon, which grooms both species six days a week.
