Clients reviews about Whitman's: Grooming & Supplies, Sharpening and Repair

I ordered and just received the DIAMAstripper (Chubby, no teeth). I'm astonished with how comfortable it feels- I tried it out on my English Cocker Spaniel, who've I have been struggling to find the right fit of stripping tool for both both our comfort, and this seems to be it! I'm thrilled to say the least. I also have both DIAMAbits, and they have been go to filing tools for nails for about the last 7 years (purchased at a small grooming show in Grand Rapids). I know I already bought something durable and quality based on my last purchase, and given the comfort and flexibility, I feel confident that this tool is going to help me step up not only my personal output, but the overall quality of my work as well. 🤩 ~ Katherine Z

Everyone at Whitman's gave me a really incredible experience. I informed them that I was brand new to handstripping and didn't really know what I was looking for in terms of stripping knives. They pulled all the knives they had in stock and allowed me to try them out and practice on their personal dog Bacon. They gave me advice on handling to dog while stripping, how to hold the tools properly, and what hairs to pull and when. I learned so much in the maybe 20mins of hands on advice they gave me and I am incredibly appreciative. I ended up purchasing the stubby diamond stripping tool as well as the boxer diamagroove dremel bit. Allowing me to use the tool on a real dog before purchasing it really showed me how versatile, high quality, and ergonomic it was. I am beyond appreciative and will be returning in the future. Also huge thank you to Bacon for being a good boy while demoing (although I'm sure he would have preferred to be doing anything else 😂) ~ Autumn W

I just purchased a Whitman DiamaGroove Bit in the Pinnacle shape. I am obsessed! I have a 130 lb. bullmastiff with huge black thick nails and it took under 10 minutes for all four paws. It’s hollow, keeping the nail from heating up. It was comfortable for us both. Worth every single penny. Shipped to Canada quickly, no issues. I did have to pay duty and taxes, which I expected. Outstanding customer service. I can’t stress enough how refreshing and uncommon it is to experience great customer service these days. This product is made in Michigan, not China. ~ Karen G

Sent 6 blades to be sharpened ... 2 of them weren't worthy of redoing so they called to let me know and explained why and what to look for in the future ... that was the first really good impression I got of Whitman's ... the honesty to not just "sharpen" them and charge me! And then the blades that they did sharpen are like brand new again ... like a hot knife in butter sharp ... BRAVO TO WHITMAN'S ... I have said so on Facebook too! :-) Thank you thank you thank you!!! ~ Laurie A

To start, i am a professional pet groomer. My dryer started tripping my breaker and its my only one. I called whitmans and they went above and beyond to get it fixed for me. Not only that but they sharpened my scissors, and helped me with the purchase of new blades and dryer filters which I desperately needed. Today I have tried their sample shampoos and im already impressed. I genuinely cannot thank them enough for the work they did. I will be back for sure. ~ ALEXIS F

If you want your blades and scissors sharpened properly these are your guys. No one knows there profession better than they do. If price is your issue think about this, they take pride in what they do so your equipent stays sharper longer in return lasting longer. I am so glad they are now servicing the Kalamazoo and Battle Creek areas. ~ Ann R

I broke the on/off switch on my Oster A5 clippers. Searched all over southern MI to get them repaired with no luck. Called Whitman's and no problem. Shipped the clippers up to Farwell on 1/2, and they were repaired and back to me on 1/12. First class work and customer service at a good price. ~ Russell Y

Everyone has knowledge about all kinds dog grooming and supply items. If the person you are talking to does not know someone else does and you will get your answer. The sharpening service is awesome. Your blades or scissors come back better then new. Excellent company. ~ CATHY W

We could not be happier with our groomer. It’s obvious he genuinely loves what he does. My dog Jasper comes home looking fantastic every time — clean, deshedded, and happy. I completely trust him and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Highly recommend! ~ Amber W

They were at Novi this weekend. It was great catching up with the owner. I’ve had them sharpen my blades and scissors. They do an awesome job. I’ve purchased many hard to find Items over the years grom them. I highly recommend them. ~ David R

I’ve used Whitman’s for over 5 years and I have never had an issue. They do get busy so I will wait a little while for mine to be done however I’m sending shears and blades for 8 people at a time. I’m always happy. We ship them from Virginia. ~ Chrystal W

Took my 2 dogs in for nails to be trimmed Amari was really scared the guy took his time to get her to calm her down. He did a great job scheduled another appointment for them 😁 ~ Karen D

Thank you so very much for the awesome job that you did on the Clippers and sharpening our blades. You did an excellent job. I would recommend you to anybody. ~ Debra W

The diamagroove is an extremely well made product. I’ve had mine for 11 years and it’s still going strong after nearly a thousand nail trims. One of the best investments I’ve made for my dogs. ~ Ronnie F

Hands down the best sharpening service I have ever used for my Grooming tools. I highly recommend! My tools stays sharpened for close to a year. Definitely worth the price ~ Mallory T
