We work with Dennise…read morewho has built close, trusting relationships with both our 10 year old maltipoo and our bernedoodle puppy. Our maltipoo in particular had very difficult grooming experiences prior to Dennise. Dennise is dedicated to serving every dog she grooms regardless of age and temperament. We can attest that she built a strong relationship with our maltipoo that has helped her feel more at ease being groomed (a true feat). Dennise also is the only groomer we have trusted with our bernedoodle puppy which has clearly paid off: our puppy seems to truly enjoy hanging out with all the groomers and other pups when she is in the shop. Dennise is clearly passionate about her work and it is an added bonus that she gives her clients excellent hair cuts. Shout out also to Brian for all of his hard work behind the scenes keeping the business side streamlined. He is kind, friendly, and makes scheduling appointments easy for us which is greatly appreciated. We look forward to continuing to work with Dennise and Brian for many years to come. TLDR; Highly recommend VIP grooming to any dog owners in SF who are looking for compassionate groomers who are passionate about individualizing dogs' care and serving their clients with the upmost professionalism!

Highly recommend Luxe Paw and Grooming if you're new to the area and looking for a friendly, affordable neighborhood groomer.

One of my cat is extremely matted, and she was able to clean shave her without any problem. The other cat is not so matted, she preserved a lot of his hair. My cats looked so good!

I was parked next to Mudpuppy's just now. A female employee went from one side to the other via the…read moresidewalk and didn't secure the gate behind herself. It was wide open. They were careless with the lives of YOUR animals. Two dogs without collars or leashes ran out onto the sidewalk behind her and luckily followed her to the other side of the store. They could have just as easily run into the street without collars and been killed! I yelled out about the gate and the lady DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE DOGS WERE FOLLOWING HER. Then she carried one dog back to the other side and the other dog, again without a collar or leash just walked back onto the sidewalk and back to the other side again. They were lucky these two dogs were so well behaved but no matter how well behaved a dog is, they should ALWAYS be on leash when out on the sidewalk. Fortunately all the dogs are safe, but seeing this carelessness I would NEVER BRING MY DOG BACK HERE. If they are that careless with other peoples beloved animals they shouldn't even have a business. Do not trust them to protect your animal while in their care. ** edit in response to owner below: Well it seems other commenters have seen the same, including with their own dogs being off leash outside. So I highly doubt what you're saying is true. Either way, never bringing my dog here again and I'm going to continue to tell others the same. Lastly, if you let shops dogs outside off leash then you are still an irresponsible dog owner. Leashes are required by law for a reason. If you don't care enough about your own dogs to leash them outside, I don trust you with my dogs. You should be fined and your dogs taken before they are harmed.

I went in out of curiosity, but left feeling pretty distressed and sad. The first thing I noticed…read morewas the constant, overwhelming squawking of so many birds packed into the small store. Social and highly intelligent animals require a lot of mental stimulation and space to move, and many of the birds were either isolated in a small cage or packed together in a cage with many others. I'm sad to see that in a progressive city like San Francisco, stores are still selling "exotic animals" from breeders while so many birds and other companion animals are waiting in rescues for homes. The exotic pet trade is chock-full of welfare and conservation issues, and it breaks my heart to see these living beings treated as retail products. I would love to see The Animal Company partner with rescues and adoption organizations instead of selling animals. That would be a compassionate step that better reflects the values many people in this community care about.
