I've always been a short dog hair person when it came to my pooches. But it wasn't until I met my fiance that I realized how much work goes into having a dog with long hair. I now carry a lint roller with me wherever I go, I have to take him to the groomers, and brush his hair (although my fiance does that, not me. I refuse). I a pretty new resident to downtown Miami and found this place while exploring the neighborhood with my short haired dog (he's actually a pitbull, so he's never seen an inside of a groomers before). We stopped by so I can buy them some treats and saw that they also offer grooming services. I told my fiance about it, and now she's in love and swears by this place. We have a Laso Apso and it's the only place she'll take him. read more

I was looking for in Downtown Miami a very good groomer to my 2 schnauzers.... so, I found it! Else, they have excellent natural products there. The staff is very nice, friendly and really like the animals. JJ is very attentive and explains about the products. My dogs and me are luck to have found Animal Crackers! read more

Love it! Took our 5 yr d golden retriever there this past week to get his hair cut. First off got there and everyone was super friendly. Owner is great! Took him in the back with the groomers.. Very clean and well organized. Picked him up and he looked perfect! Fur was evenly cut and not choppy unlike our visit at Petco. Also he was so happy he didn't want to leave! Highly recommend and will be back! Don't just take your dog to anywhere, research and go to a place where people care like here. read more

Jay Jay and everybody else that works there really know their stuff. I take my dog Laika, an 80 lb nervous American Bulldog, there for grooming, and I also buy her food there (they deliver it to my office in Brickell for free). I give them 5-Stars because of their great service, their awesome product selection, and the price, quality & promptness of their grooming services (my dog always walks in all fearful and then comes out relaxed looking like she spent a day at the Four Seasons spa). If you have a pet, don't go anywhere else but Animal Crackers. read more

Coco is not such an easy dog to win over when it comes to shower time how ever he LOVE to run in and jump on the desk and say hi to Chris who he absolutely loves!!! Since the first time I ever took him there he was welcomed and loved right away!!!! JJ is amazing with dogs and so is his entire staff!!! I have an Australian Labradole and I'm always afraid when it's hair cut time because they ten to make him looked like a poodle but not at Animal Crackers!!!! By far the best place in Miami. BTW they do NOT cage the dogs or hurt them or give them any calming meds and that is something very common now a days! Hands down I recommend everyone in my building to Animal Crackers team!!! read more

We left Rocco, our beagle, there for the day (they offer a very affordable doggie day care) and he had a great time.. we left him at 8:30am and picked him up arond 5:50ish and they were just great, they didnt make me feel like a dork for calling in to check on him :) Rocco will be returning once a week (when we got home, he went to bed and didnt wake up until 6:45am!) :) read more

Friendly and trustworthy staff. My Pomeranian loves going here and I especially love how he smells like a strawberry after he's groomed! It's $30 for a wash (not sure how reasonable that is) can't wait to get him fully trimmed to test out the staffs grooming skills! read more

Love this place but most of all Luigi is the biggest fan and that's what counts! Great selection of natural food, treats, and grooming services. read more

Today was my first time here and my chocolate laborador loved it!! I had her bathed and shaved and she looks amazing! The customer service was great and Patricia, the groomer, did a phenomenal job!! Thank you Animal Crackers!! read more

First time taking our golden retriever to get groomed in Miami. He is a rescue so he's a bit anxious and has never been groomed before. We will 100% be coming back to Animal Crackers. They did such a good job on our boy and he looked so calm coming back out to us. The owner (JJ) is awesome. Prices Are very reasonable for Miami. We will be coming back!! read more

I absolutely love this place & so does my fur friend! The staff here truly love what they do, and are huge dog lovers. It always shows when I take my fur friend there because they will let her smoother them in kisses and be completely okay with it! I normally drop her off in the morning and pick her up around two or three. She always gets excited as we are walking there which is no surprise because they let her have some social time while she waits to get groomed. They always do a good job with grooming, sometimes I have to tell them to cut her hair shorter around her eye area but I would rather have to ask a groomer to cut some extra hair off than be completely shocked that all her hair is missing (that's happened once with a different place) Needless to say they can groom my fur friend anytime! p.s. your pooch will smell amazing and their coat will feel as soft as a puppy read more

Animal Crackers was the first place we went when we got our puppy Mowgli to get all the necessary supplies. 3 years later it's still the only place in Miami we trust for food, toys and grooming. Mowgli is always excited to walk in and we know he's always taken care of. If you're looking for a great small business to support for your dog needs - look no further! read more

Efficient, and reasonably priced. One of the reasons I decided to try this place, after going to several groomers in the past, is the fact that they don't use those commercial dryers where they place the dogs inside those box-like devices and leave them there in the dark for 30 minutes. A lot of places use those, and I just don't like them. I'm wary about groomers, because of horror stories I've heard, and would lose my mind if anything ever happened to my dogs because of someone's negligence. Took my golden retriever and my silky terrier over the weekend (Saturday - 3.19.2016). Immediately greeted by the owner who gave tons of attention to both our dogs. Told us it would take 2 to 3 hours for both dogs and that they would call us when they were ready. We ended up coming back earlier than that and waited just 20 or 30 minutes for them to be ready. The staff was VERY FRIENDLY! And the groomer (whom we didn't get to meet) did SUCH A GREAT JOB on them both. Will definitely be returning and recommend them highly. Parking wasn't great, as the place is located in Downtown Miami and if there is an event, it will be more crowded than normal. Although there are a few spots directly in front of the store for parking (by the street). Watch for the puddles that accumulate by the curb. The owner helped us get the golden into the car so he wouldn't dirty. I'm sure that's not normal practice, but it was really nice for him to do that. I didn't purchase anything at their store but they look like they have a huge variety of healthy food and other items for your dog. Paid $50 for my 5-lbs silky and $75 for my 50-lbs golden retriever (bath, haircut, ear cleaning, nail clipping). Petsmart charges just slightly over that, and Ace Grooming on Bird Road charged me $130 for my golden last year. This is my new go-to groomer. Let it be yours, too! read more

After many recommendations from friends and dog owners I met in parks, I finally took my puppy there for grooming. JJ runs an incredible small business and really loves what he does. The pet food there is all natural and my dog devours it (as well as all the treats I've ever bought from here), and when I pick her up at the end of the day after grooming she smells delicious and looks so happy, like she had the best day ever. I can honestly say that I'll be a loyal customer to this place for as long as I live here, because of the way JJ and his staff treat all his customers. read more

A thousand stars for Animal Crackers!! I heard about this place from a lady who had the most gorgeously groomed schnauzers I've ever seen at Petsmart and I asked her where she got them groomed. I called Animal Crackers the next day to make my appt. My Goldendoodle puppy, Milonga, went in for her first haircut yesterday and she looks so good!! We explained to the person what we had in mind and she was returned to us exactly as we wanted. Still fluffy, but a bit shorter. I love that they let the dogs acclimate before their grooming, so they are more comfortable and less nervous. I recommend this place 10000% and will definitely be coming back. read more

I live and work in South Beach and prefer to buy organic food for my kitty. Although there is a place near my work that does sell it, I'm still horribly lazy... Thank God for Animal Crackers as they DELIVER for FREE!! It's perfect!! I called, told them what I wanted, (Lotus Cat Food) they had it, and were so accommodating when it came to where and when they would deliver to me so it in NO way disrupted my schedule! :) Overall, I am completely satisfied with both the product as well as the service! :) read more

Superb service, JJ goes above and beyond to provide an outstanding service, he has done to my dog amazing grooming, deliver my dogs food to my door steps. You guys rock! Keep up the out of this world service and quality read more

This was the second time I brought my dog here to get groomed. The first time I had an amazing experience... the second time was atroches. When I called to find out how long more or less until my pet was ready (reasonable enough) I got this response, "there's a lot going on in the world and I just won't be able to tell you" I said "okay I understand the problems that are going on in the world all I need is a ball park figure" he then went on to LYING and saying that my pet would be done by 2pm. I called back and asked to speak to a manager (JJ) the front desk man said "he's unavailable" then said that I had already spoken to the manager. AGAIN LIES! When I got to the establishment I finally was able to speak to a manager who basically did not give a s**t about anything I had to say. GROOMER was the only one who spoke to me with the upmost respect/professionalism. NEVER GOING BACK! read more

They do a really great job here. After i moved, i tried a few places on the Beach and around downtown, this is by far the best.

LOVE this place. Took our dog for his first grooming here. He loved it. I thought he would be so freaked out. The owner is super friendly and definitely knows his stuff. We have a Sheltie, which we were nervous about because we never see them any where. But turns out they had a lot of experience doing them. We brought pictures of what we wanted him to look like, he came out perfect! He looked great. Got to play the entire time he was there, outside of getting groomed. We will definitely be going back. This place is awesome. Highly recommend. And from what I hear about others prices, this place is the best hands down. read more

Best place in the world. I have been bringing my pups here since they opened. JJ is such a nice guy and best of all, loves animals. He knows a lot about food, so you can ask him any questions regarding your pet. They deliver food, pick up pets for grooms and wash. The whole staff is amazing.... they are just there to make your life easier and simpler. I have recommended this place to so many people and everyone has loved them. read more

I have been taking Dolce to Animal Crackers since 2010. We have always had a great experience with the owner and the staff. This is the first place that I have taken Dolce to for grooming that she seems to feel comfortable and happy when I leave her. They carry only the best products for my baby, and I trust them in helping me make selections on any new items I am curious to try. I highly recommend their services to all of my friends, and anyone who has a fur baby at home. read more

A friend of mine told me about this place and she was bragging how awesome the people that work there are. I was a little bit scare because the place were the store is located is not the best. However, is centrally located and the only place in the brickell and downtown area that i heard good things about so i gave it a try. I got there and the people were super nice my little dog was playing with all the dogs and running around the store, very cute. They groomed him and then he stayed there until i was able to picking him up after work. the work hours are amazing because you dont have to rush to get there before they close and they are so friendly anyways the dogs have a blast in that place. !!! Prices are very reasonable and the staff seem very knowledgeable ! I recommend this place ! they really care about the animals and are very accomodated to their needs. !! read more

Avid yelp reader, but first time reviewing. This place is AMAZING. It's perfect for anyone that lives and works in downtown. The prices are extremely affordable for grooming. The product prices are extremely competitive as well, and unbeatable. JJ and the staff are extremely helpful & caring. I can come to these guys with questions, or just hang out with my pup after work. Always friendly, always smiling and a pleasure to visit. My dog goes their weekly for a bath, since the day I got the little fellow and I would never go anywhere else. read more

Took my 6 year old chihuahua to get the holistic anesthetic free dental cleaning and he has not been the same since coming home from the procedure. He has been low energy and has not ate his food either. I called Animal Crackers to ensure nothing was given to him as he is not his usual self, and they assured me they didn't. Sunday, 3 whole days of this behavior prompted me to take him to the vet where they were able to show me where his gums are swollen and irritated causing him to not be able to eat his hard food, play with his toys and just be mopey. Hearing my poor pup cry while reaching for his toy is absolutely heartbreaking. Please note this is not the first time my pet goes through this procedure , just at a different place. So now I spent $175 on the cleaning plus my vet bill to cover his anti inflammatory and antibiotics. Thank you Animal Crackers and Smiley Pett for hurting my poor pup. read more

Always a nice experience whenever we come by. Friendly staff, and JJ is so down to earth. He goes out of his way to take care of you. JJ's also been helpful recommending a type of walking leash that has worked like a charm for our pup. We tend to use their services for nail clipping, ears and gland cleaning. And I purchase their healthy food brands which has made a difference with our dog's coat. Animal Crackers will continue to be our go to spot for our pup's needs. read more

He loves being able to play with other dogs and I love he can have a fantastic groom. I really like the food choices because they have a lot of natural food which is great since you know exactly what is in your dogs food. Overall, This place is great. Highly recommend. read more

I took my pup Milo in for grooming and JJ opened early to allow me to drop him off before work. I had a few really terrible experiences with other groomers in brickell ( screaming at the dogs, not actually performing the services we paid for ) so I was hesitant to try a new place. Milo looks amazing and while he was happy to see me, he has clearly had a good visit and wasn't at all stressed ( versus the other times at other places where he looked scared and anxious). JJ is great and the woman at the counter was also great. Will def be bringing Milo back. Thanks JJ! read more
