We were on vacation in Asheville and our pets were uncomfortable in our hotel. We had to find a…read moreplace to take them in a pinch, and Pampered Pets was perfect! They were extremely flexible, helped us get our dogs in quickly so we could enjoy our vacation, and our pets had a great time. The facility is clean, the staff were friendly, and I felt confident our dogs were comfortable and happy throughout their stay. Our pets will definitely be back the next time we're in town!

This place does not prioritize the animals. I used to work here. Fences are mangled, the gravel…read morecuts up their paws and DeDe will make the decision herself on whether or not to let the owners know. Some incidences have led to vet visits. Employees aren't diligent with giving medications and no matter how many times I brought this up, no additional training was done. Just a quick "make sure they get their meds, don't just put it on top of the food." That means no pain meds for older dogs that have arthritis or trazadone for dogs with anxiety. I was a vet tech for years and nothing I said would change any behavior there. One employee was accused of abusing a dog and it took them 2 weeks to fire them. They'll leave all the dogs alone outside with one person because the law states that if a yard has more than 4 dogs in it, there needs to be a person. So the answer to that was no more than 4 dogs in a "yard". Now you only need one person downstairs with all the big dogs. They never fixed scheduling or being under staffed, even when it was brought up by the entire staff, because they "couldn't afford it", but then they wouldn't work with the dogs themselves to balance that out. Kara is very manipulative towards her staff and I feel bad for DeDe. Kara makes all of the operational decisions without ever working with the dogs. Ever. I never saw it happen once but we still had to run all of our concerns through her. They advertised the job at $15/hr but when a 15 year old high school kid applied, they hired him at $14/hr because he was younger and didn't know how to stand up for himself. They are very good at manipulating their staff and customers and they let abuse live within the facility. I highly highly highly DO NOT recommend EVER bringing a pet here, it will be loved but it won't be properly cared for. There was also a whole deal with a dog from the humane society but this is already very long but if you want to hear about it, I would be very happy to tell you all about it. sfifaf6120@gmail.com If you look at all the reviews on google, you'll notice that every single bad review is liked by others. And most of them have more than one. And hardly any of the good reviews have positive responses, except from DeDe. Keep your pet safe and go somewhere else.

Perhaps, they Animal House-Pet Spa needs to re-think their good business model or hire some help! They advertise such an intriguing invite ad to make an appointment for your sweet furry child, then after calling, I was immediately shut down- not taking any "new clients" too busy, not enough groomers to help her. Well, can you hire some help? I mean I could have waited a month maybe. But, I am not going to be put on a waiting list. It's Feb. I thought I was getting a head start for my dog's annual spring trim. I could have waited a month or so...But, No- "no more new clients" just did not feel so good to hear. Sounded kinda-snobby. Not even an ounce of hope of being able to use this service. Like- maybe a month or so out...? Just left me sad. I have honestly, never heard any groomer say that- just such a turn off- so disappointing after you get really excited about a new place to take your dog. A beautiful, well-behaved and loving one too...Oh well, her loss...and with her lack of care in her tone of voice---maybe not a good place for my dog after all. ;(
