This is a puli who is brushed and cut vs. corded. Straight from Critter Clippers.
M S.

I have been going to Critter Clippers and seeing owner Linda for three decades. My dogs have not been the easiest to groom. I've owned two pulis, a breed of Hungarian sheepdogs that has super dense hair (not fur). Linda has bathed, brushed, trimmed and sculpted my muscular, sturdy dogs. She loves them, and they have loved her. Linda's attention to the kind of cut I want - stovepipe legs, straight up hair on the head and nothing that resembles a poodle - is outstanding. She has tremendous patience with animals and pet parents, and she has shown through her own pet ownership that she deeply loves animals. I'm so glad she's reopened after the Covid-19 shutdown. I trimmed my dog myself for a bit, and found that my appreciation for Linda, while always huge, grew 10x. And so with that heightened regard, I submit this long overdue review. Linda and Critter Clippers rock.

Post-grooming

This place is amazing! This was my first time taking my baby Tippy to Critter Clippers and we were NOT disappointed. The owner cares so much about making sure each dog is comfortable, and ensuring the right cut - to leave the owner and pup happy. I've never trusted someone with my dog more! Linda (the owner's name I believe) is SO NICE and knows SO much about dogs. She knows so much about dogs' health - she even told me a toothbrush brand to try out for my dog's teeth. She also let me know that having my dog's ear hair pulled out would leave him susceptible to infection - which was helpful for me to make an informed decision (we left his ears furry!) His coat is so soft and it's already been 24 hours since he was groomed. Definitely will be back!! Just a note that this is a higher end groomer, so the prices match that expertise.

Pleasant owner and very communicative. That said, eighty-something price tag for regular trimming became $150 because a cut to even his coat was recommended. Despite providing a picture of what his breed (cavapoochon) should look like, we got something else. Also, if you don't like seeing all your puppy's private parts, specify specify-eek!

I have recently started taking Toby to Linda. Reason I like her 1. She is very gentle with Toby, she takes time to understand the cut I want and reconfirms when I pick up Toby. 2. Toby doesn't like to be in crate or stay in leash, she adjusts his time accordingly so that she can groom him in one go. I got late couple of times and I was happy to see there was a groomer playing with Toby. 3. I get a reminder call a day before the grooming(trust me it really helps). 4. It's very clean.

I've been a big fan of since taking our Samoyed for many years. They always did fantastic work on such a hard to groom, fluffy dog. And Trixie loved being there. Today, I took our new Chihuahua there for the first time. He loved it. The staff took amazing care of him, including special attention to his nails which can't just be clipped. We'll be back soon!

Soda Pop after Amy spruced her up so beautifully. We love Amy! ...& Linda, Daniel & all. Miss Pop gets so excited when they greet her!  :-)

See all

My doggie looked good when I picked him up, but not any better than when I take him to the cheaper groomers. Slightly expensive...

Jenna isn't just wonderfully skilled at her job, she is also a very kind and accommodating person…read more I refuse to have my pup be groomed by any mobile grooming van after the harrowing 3.5 hour experience he had last time. It was so bad that I bought shears myself and have been bathing and cutting his hair at home. I've been trying to get into Jenna's calendar for months now and am so glad I waited! She smoothed over all my rookie choppy hair cutting and made my li'l boy look ever so handsome again. And she did it in half the time the mobile van took! Totally worth the wait to get on to her calendar and so grateful to have found a master technician so close to our house!

Jenna's grooming service gets the best ratings in my book. We went to Jenna for the first time for…read moreour 3 year old shih tzu & we were very pleased with her work. Booking was simple and easy - I texted Jenna the current/old pics I had of my dog, mentioned the coat condition/length, age, and what kind of cut I wanted. I inquired about the price and availability and it was within my range and booked it for the next following week. I also sent her photos of "cute shih tzu teddy bear cut" of what I wanted, and she said she was able to do it. I drove all the way from San Jose to Palo Alto into her shop (located at a neighborhood house). I was able to drop my dog off a bit early and Jenna took him in. Meeting her in person was really nice and she was very friendly and sweet to my dog and I! Jenna let me know that my dog would be finished in 1.5-2 hours ish. When I picked up my dog, he was EXTRA CUTE and Jenna nailed the teddy bear cut artwork of what I was looking for!!! My dog was happy and my family is happy. I will totally go back to Jenna again for future cuts. Highly recommend & fyi she takes Venmo/check/cash.
