    Sykes 5% Crude. As good as you can get for your dog with kidney disease.

    We were looking for a specific treat and the gal we asked really tried to assist. She even googled kidney disease. The place was very clean and didn't smell of dog and we didn't have to avoid any puddles. I did read every treat package and found the best two. I recommend this place. It's well stocked, friendly team, and very clean and fresh smelling.

    Date: 9/13/2017 Time: 12:35 PM 69° Cloudy After paying our landline bill at AT&T, my husband and I were walking along Lakeshore Avenue shopping district. We were on our way to Proposition Chicken when we saw Unleashed. We're running low in supply of "poopie" bags. We usually purchase these bags from the Unleashed store at Alameda Landing. Since we're in the neighborhood, a visit here was necessary. Gentleman behind the counter asked if I needed any assistance. I replied, yes and guide me to the aisle or section where the "poopie" bags are. He was courteous and friendly. He located them. Good! I grabbed a pack of them off the rack and paid for it. I thought I was ready to leave after the purchase. I figure get the one item, buy and pay for it, then head out the door. Nope. My husband was still in the back of the store. When he arrived at the counter, he had a bag of doggie treats and a chew bone in his hands. Hmmm...more money being spent. (Here I thought I buy things on an impulse. Sheesh! LOL!) Drawback: street parking can be difficult at times in this shopping district. However, there is a parking garage within walking distance.

    Steph is a phenomenal puppy trainer! Our pup Moxie really loves her and picked up on all the tasks very quickly. The training was also great for us humans. Moxie is now excellent on leash, approaching other dogs, and her recall is fantastic. Steph also gives out helpful advice and remembers Moxie every time she comes in which just makes her day. On graduation day, Steph put a little grad cap on Moxie and took some pictures. I had reddit photo shoppers make it more awesome.

    Generally speaking, we work like dogs and my dog lives like a king, and this little king really loves to go shopping at unleashed. People working here are super nice. They love my dog and always give him lots of compliments, and my dog would wag his tail so much and act so spoiled and forget about what his last name was. He loves the self wash here. The perfect temperature, the strong water pressure and the aroma of the coconut conditioner make him forget the fact that he hates being clean.

    Great place for a bath and blow dry. Helpful and friendly staff. Love this place!

    See all

    I am super happy with this place!!! My toy poodle Curry is really nervous around groomers due to…read morebad experiences and gets really anxious, but she was doing great after her appointment with Heather!! Heather gave me really good instructions and commentary on how to prepare Curry for a grooming appointment so that she wouldn't be nervous or in pain and was super accommodating and patient with her. The cut is so cute and exactly what I wanted!! Love this place, will definitely come here for future hair cuts :-))

    This is a positive review for Heather.  She was very knowledgeable and helpful. She also showed…read moregood character. I had reached out to Heather seeking advice on how to help a stray cat "Miss Kitty".  Miss Kitty comes around 2x a day for food in my backyard. She is a very pretty kitty with medium length black hair who seems to have some matting issues. Miss Kitty is very skittish but I have been slowly building trust with her these past few weeks. So can now pet her. Given she has been outdoors she is not used to being brushed and gets scared when she sees it. I contacted Heather seeking advice for how to best help the cat with her coat. Heather very generously spent 30+ mins talking with me.  We covered all sorts of topics. Including ways to desensitize the cat to brushing, which sort of brush/comb to use, and how to make sure it's also paired with a positive reward (like a treat). HEather also explained that I should first get her used to me brushing/combing her where there are no tangles, just so that cat can get used to the experience. Then as I build comfort with cat, gradually work my way over to the tangles to gently work on them.   She also gave her take suggesting that maybe this was winter undercoat growing out with some tangles. Versus extreme matting that was pulling the skin and causing pain to the cat. Which was a huge relief in itself! We also spoke about the pros/cons of shaving her. She explained it would definitely give her a fresh start for the coat. However, Heather voiced that if it was done now (April) she worried the cat would get cold outside.  So suggested if it was done, either to wait until warmer months or until the cat maybe was more socialized and willing to live indoors afterwards. We also spoke about if eventually the cat was shaved that would also be a good time to bathe her, which type of soap to use, etc. We also spoke about if I did ever get her socialized to that point, how we could make any future appt less stressful for the cat. During the conversation Heather also spoke with me about not rushing things, given strays have a lot of trust issues. So Heather understood how fragile the budding bond is with this cat. (She mentioned her mother in law did feral cat rescue, so was familiar with how to work with these types of cats who generally are not used to human interactions.) If Heather was as different type of person and greedy - she would have just wanted me to bring the cat in for an appt immediately or tried to sell me a bunch of products.  But she really seemed to care about the cat's well being which I really appreciated.  There was zero attempt to sell me on anything which these days is very rare. Heather also declined my offer to pay her for the phone consultation, saying she was happy just to help. Again very rare! If you want someone who is a knowledgeable and experienced groomer, genuinely cares about the animal's well being, and is a wonderful human being to boot - you will be in good hands with Heather.

    It's been nearly 2 years since I brought my dog to Spaw Fitness to be groomed and I have not…read moreforgotten how traumatized he was. He woke me up several times that night after I brought him home. He was agitated, seeking comfort. He'd been nicked and in some spots was shaved so close the skin was exposed. When we first arrived -- before I left him to be groomed -- he responded with panic. I have felt such regret for not listening to him and the plea in his gaze not to leave him. I wonder what he sensed. I will post a photo of how he looks after an excellent grooming elsewhere, and another of how he looked when I picked him up from Spaw. I didn't post a review at the time because I felt the owner was nice and meant well -- but I can't drive past the business without a shudder.

We've recently moved to this area, and all our previous grooming experiences elsewhere have been positive. I had provided Taj with clear instructions for my dog's grooming: poodle paws, teddy-bear face, and a summer cut for his body. However, my dog came back with visible razor burns, uneven patches of fur, and nails that weren't trimmed. I was also in absolute disbelief that his face was completely shaved, contrary to our discussion. Along with the traumatic experience for our dog, Taj's interaction with my husband was less than professional. Instead of acknowledging the mistakes, Taj was defensive and lacked courtesy. Given our experience, I am genuinely surprised by the high reviews Taj has received.

We felt very stuck and unsure of how to navigate these behaviors prior to meeting with her. We worried that our dog being older would make change impossible, but that definitely isn't the case. I particularly appreciated how collaborative she was with us throughout the process-- she made sure to check-in with us each week about how we felt regarding her suggestions, how things were going when we were practicing training on our own, what interventions we were comfortable with or not, what behaviors we wanted to prioritize working on next, etc. Jess is also in general just a lovely and kind human who clearly has such a strong passion for the work she does. This made it really easy for us to trust that we were being guided by someone wise and with the best of intentions. Highly recommend.
