    Eva and Ava are amazing. They are kind and take their time to make every client ( human and furbaby) feel comfortable and happy. I've been seeing them for over 8 years . Highly recommend

    Olive the Dog

    I met Kerry and she was very happy to meet Olive. I explained what I needed with her trim and Kerry did a great job.

    Bumi after
    Juju L.

    I called in the night before to get my dog Bumi fully groomed and was pleased to hear there is availability the next morning! Bumi is pretty aggressive and hates to be groomed. He tends to move a lot. Even so, they managed to give him the cutest poodle cut ever. I think the stylist here is good with grooming poodles, bichons, etc. Everything was reasonably and fairly priced. You get a lot out of what you are paying - bath, cut, nail trim, ear cleaning, anal expression, & you are also paying for their skill. The whole appointment took about 2.5-3 hours. Thank you again for your service! :)

    Thank you Eva for doing a wonderful job with Brownie and teaching us how and what to use at home so he doesn't get too matted! It's hard to find a groomer that knows how to trim poodles!

    Yumi after her haircut!!
    Amy L.

    My maltipoo got a wonderful cut!! She has heavy eyebrow and furry muzzle, I can barely see her eyes. Trimming it is a pain because she moves her head around. Aida did such a great job!! Her fur is so baby soft, and she looks so cute!!

    Rocco's First Groom!
    Nicole T.

    LOVE The Dog Spa! We got a new puppy Rocco and he a mail-shi with so much hair! This was his first groom ever and I wanted it to be perfect . To be honest I found this place on Yelp because Petco was booked really far out. I have no idea what the mixed reviews are about because The Dog Spa is awesome. Rocco looks amazing and I will take him here only moving forward. A picture speaks a thousand words........

    Avoid. My maltipoo came back traumatized. He flinches when I go to touch him. He's scared and has peed on the floor twice which he never does. I am heartbroken to think what went on while he was there. I'm not even sure the people running this place actually like dogs. And they butchered his ears. For the love of your pupper, go somewhere else.

    Daisy
    Karis A.

    I absolutely love coming here. They know Daisy already and know exactly what she gets and how mama likes it. I will be coming here as long as I live close by and I have my Cookie Daisy around. The stuff is very friendly and they always make Daisy feel loved. Thank you

    Poor customer service. Should have read the reviews on Yelp before the appt. I confronted them and they made excuses to blame me.

    Excellent haircut, very patient and experienced groomer. I don't like the traditional schnauzer head, so they gave them cute style hair cut, I love it. In addition, they are very nice, supposed they would charge extra charge for late pickup, but they said this was the first time, so they gave discounts for late pickup very recommend it!!!

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!

    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.

    Service is terrible. Barely trimmed my dogs nails. I'd think twice about using this service…read more Two words....Pet co

But sometimes we love animals in a way that supports their exploitation and harms them. The issue is that this store is misguidedly treating these sentient beings like merchandise by buying them from breeders (possibly even breeding mills, they would not tell me where they get birds from) then selling them to make money. Birds, and no animal, should be bought/sold for profit and in doing so we are commodifying them and contributing to the existing crisis of birds who are already in need of homes. If people stop buying/selling birds, people would instead adopt them from rescues and shelters and alleviate the stress and burden on rescuers while getting animals who actually need homes in to homes, instead of breeding more and more in to existence. Additionally, many birds suffer immensely in captivity and rip our their own feathers out of distress (a behavior that does not happen in the wild) these animals are not domesticated, are highly social and should be living in huge flocks and flying free in their natural habitats. I really hope someday this store will do the right thing and prioritize what is in the best interest of the animals by ceasing to buy birds from exploitative breeders and selling them like merchandise for profit, and instead host adoption events with local bird rescues as there are thousands of birds who desperately need forever homes. I love pet stores and I shop at them all the time as I have 20+ rescued animals I need supplies for. The vast majority of pet stores in SF thrive without selling animals, and I know the Animal Company can too! :) The folks at the Animal Company are nice people and my concerns are not a personal attack on them.
