    Perfect Place to take my pups Woodford. Was a bit hesitant until we checked the place out first hand before booking the appointment. The entire staff was super friendly and welcoming. Upon arrival this morning Andi was just as friendly on the phone as in person, very open to the ideas about the pup and how we wanted him to look. They WON a Costumer for life here!!

    I'll follow Tabitha wherever she goes. She's amazing, prompt (always works with my schedule and squeezes me in), dedicated to her job and you can tell loves animals because my 75 lb German Shepherd, Nala, is always SO excited to see her (I don't doubt there's treats/spoiling involved). If you don't own a German Shepherd let me tell you that the shedding is unbelievable. Tabitha has the patience of a saint and will brush/blowout/work her magic until that dog's under-coat is cleared and this dog is 5 lbs lighter from fur. Pricing is fair and worth every cent and the salon itself is so warm and welcoming. My dog has made friends with the salons regulars. Over all, I couldn't ask for a better experience.

    I have been taking my goldendoodle to see Taylor for about a year and she has always done an amazing job on Nala's grooming! Alpha Pet Salon is located on Wells Avenue in Reno. The rates are worth every dollar spent. My dog is always super happy when we arrive! The environment is very clean and friendly. I will keep coming back to support Taylor and have always referred my friends with doodles to come see her based off my excellent experience time and time again. I wish I could rate higher than 5 stars because they deserve it. Thank you Taylor for being amazing!

    I'm always nervous to drop my dog off at the groomers and we have tried many places just to find one we have total confidence in. I found just that place today! I took my 3 year old Great Pyrenees here and I am so great full to find a place that cares about my dogs comfort as much as I do. Taylor B. Is phenomenal she was kind and patient with my 115lb scaredy-cat and not only that she's the best groomer I've been to. I thought he looked like a very handsome show dog when I picked him up! I can't wait to get him groomed here in the future!

    Decided on this place because they were quick to get us in (next day appointment!). Taylor groomed my 90 lb golden retriever, Sookie. Her cut was exactly how I wanted it--a little longer than a shave, and all the knots out. Taylor was able to achieve this and I'm so happy with it! Sookie looks and smells great. I could tell she was relaxed while being groomed because Taylor mentioned she kept putting her paw up as if to shake. Sookie usually does this if she wants you to keep touching her. :) Communication with Taylor and the owner (I believe) was fast and impeccable. The place was small, but clean and professional. They let her hang out with all the other dogs in a gated area. It's a little pricey for cut, bath, nail trim, butt and ear clean ($70), but it was well worth it and I'll definitely be back! Thank you for being so patient and caring of Sookie!

    Everly after! Happy girl!

    Amazing. This has been my dogs best experience at a groomers so far. Andi was great and did an absolutely wonderful job! I went in a little worried about my puppy since she hasn't had great experiences and Andi let me know exactly what she wasn't a fan of, and how I can even help her at home to get use to scissors being close to her face. I will keep going back! So appreciative of how they took care of my little one!

    I take my Scottish Terrier, Clover to Janette. Clover actually gets excited when we pull into the parking lot because she knows she's seeing Janette. She gets so excited walking into the salon and jumps up to see Janette. She barely even notices that I'm leaving. Janette goes above and beyond to make sure I'm happy and is very quick also. I also bring my Chihuahua Fidel in for any grooming needs he has. He loves Janette also. The whole shop is like a big family atmosphere! I would recommend Janette and Alpha Pet to anyone.

    Koko is resting after her bath and shes a very happy girl. "See you next time Taylor"

    Andi did a beautiful haircut etc on my toy poodle and my pup seemed perfectly happy with the whole process--not necessarily normal for her!

    Last year I adopted a senior dog who, coincidentally, used to be brought here for 7 years by his…read moremom who passed away. My boy is (we think) a Cockapoo and is EXTREMELY difficult to groom. He won't stay still, thrashes around and gets very loud/growly when his paws and butt are touched. Ellie has done an amazing job with him!! She's been so patient with him, especially since he was described as being one of her most difficult grooms ever. Ellie has always been very communicative about any issues that came up during the grooming, all while being very kind and not at all judgmental. I cannot recommend this salon enough, especially Ellie if you want someone you can trust to take care of your difficult dog.

    They used to groom our Therapy Dog Keno, but abrutley told us she could now longer groom her…read morebecause she had a bad back. We were so disappointed because she did and fantastic job. Later found out through another Newfie owner she has two, that she was still grooming her Newfies. Really, we were always on time, tipped very well and we have never had any complants from any groomer on her. Luckily found another groomer who does just as good of a job and is thrilled to groom her. Wish you had told us you were having problems with her standing, not long after we left she was diagnosed with Adisons and we almost lost her. She was not standing for you because she couldn't. Luckily she is doing well now and will even hold up her paws for her new groomer. Never had an issue with your work it was excellent just hurt you did not completly disclose to us what the issues were.

    Our two dogs were groomed for the third time at Animal Oasis. My daughter and I were pleased until…read morethis last visit with them. Our precious fourteen year old female was called beautiful and had pics taken of passerby's. When we picked her up after her being there for three hours or more ( every visit the same amount of time ) we just wanted to get them home. With her we noticed immediately her " beautiful fan tail " was no more. Her hind leg had been shaved to the bone. The shaver got away from one of their employees and that employee was not honest enough to report it. And if it was reported to his or her employer when we picked up our precious dog the incident was ignored and she was handed over to us like nothing ever happened. Now, a few months later she still has the large bald spot on the back of her hind leg where no hair has grown.. Her tail is completely butchered it hasn't grown out to its " beautiful fan wave" for a Collie after all this time. " I cant imagine what she was put through" being there! Our two year old male dog the most loving ever had his face completely missed his beard went over his lip. I trimmed it myself. I'm grateful our male dog hadn't gone through the trauma our precious female had gone through. I personally feel that someone there ( management) should be taking responsibility by checking while dogs are being groomed by ( newbies ) or any employee in any manner. I feel my female dog was left with a newbie and was not given the attention to this employee that he or she needed with managing. My daughter and I were under the impression that the woman that met us outside( same woman that groomed twice before ) asked how we'd like their grooming taken care of would be the one attending to both our dogs we trusted her grooming since she had done both our dogs twice before and we were happy with their outcome We had made recommendations to friends about Animal Oasis.We put our trust in the woman who greeted us who seemed interested in our concerns towards their grooming. This business failed my dogs and us. We should have looked at the grooming before paying the $100.00 per dog and not given the tips. I've never had to write up a complaint I waited hoping my female dog would grow her beautiful hair back to its original shape " Not" ! The Animal Oasis deserves this complaint. If you go to Animal Oasis after my complaint ask questions like who will be attending fully to my animal and look carefully after the work has been completed to your satisfaction before tipping. Get names, your dog is part of your loving family and should be treated like so.

    Very disappointed with Hands to Paws and Emylia…read more I normally don't leave negative reviews, but I feel people should know about my experience with this business. I traded Emylia three pairs of grooming shears, a set of clippers, and four clipper blades in exchange for three grooming appointments for my dog, Pete. I received two of the three appointments. On the day of my third scheduled appointment , Emylia called in sick and did not notify me that my appointment had been cancelled. I showed up expecting Pete's scheduled grooming appointment and was informed she wasn't working that day. While I was standing at the counter, I quietly mumbled to myself, "F**K , she still owes me a free haircut" The employee immediately responded, "If you ever talk to me like that again, you'll never be allowed in here again." I found that response unnecessarily rude and confrontational, especially considering I wasn't speaking to her. At that point, between the cancelled appointment with out notification and the way I was treated by the employee, I decided I no longer wanted Pete groomed at Hand to Paws. I asked Emylia for the $70 value of the unused third appointment to be refunded. She agreed to arrange payment the following week. That week came and went with no payment. I got a text from Emylia she wanted to give me back the clippers. I declined she's already had them in her possession for over a month. I followed up by text Friday and still have received no response. People get sick, and I completely understand that. The problem is the lack of communication, the way I was treated when I showed up for an appointment that had been cancelled , and then the failure to follow through on an agreed-upon refund. The $70 isn't really the point. Its the way the entire situation was handled. I expected better customer service and better business practices. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Hand to Paws.
