I just had my dog groomed at Critter Corral and I had an average experience. I asked for my dog to have a schnauzer cut (even though she's only half schnauzer, I love that cut in her!) and when I got her back she was just shaved all around. I also didn't like you cannot go into the facility to see if it's clean or not because of "Covid" and had to call to get someone to get her. However, I called that day and they were able to get her in last minute for an appointment, which I did appreciate. Not horrible, just not my favorite place. read more

I wanted to wait until my second experience at this place before leaving my review. I came across this groomer through a Facebook recommendation from Jess (who works there) after being in the market for one. (I refuse to send my dog to pet smart / petco.) Stacy did such an amazing job on her first groom and an even better job on her second round. All of the staff are super nice and they each do their very best to assure you that your pup is well cared for. My Lola is always excited going in to her groom to play with the other pups and comes home looking her very best. Honestly I have nothing bad to say; THIS IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD GROOMER YOU NEED TO TAKE YOUR DOG TO!! TRUST ME!! read more

I was apprehensive about bringing my cat into any groomer but Jennifer's knowledge and confidence on the phone was enough to convince me to bring him in. I'm SO GLAD I did! She made our cat very comfortable and kept me apprised of the progress throughout the grooming process. My cat looks great and I now have a groomer I trust to bring all my cats to. Oh, the dogs in the shop were looking good read more

Thank you for taking care of our pups. read more

Wasn't real impressed with what Godzilla looked like. It looked like an inexperienced groomer had groomed him. He didn't have a whole lot of hair so I thought that $55 was way too expensive. His facial hair is all uneven. His mohawk is a disaster. I guess I should have asked how much they charged. Will not go back there again.. Just a thought, how come I haven't seen any recent reviews read more

I have brought my border collie/golden retriever, Solstice, to Critter Corral twice now. I don't foresee bringing her anywhere else for her grooming needs!! Solstice comes back to us happy, beautiful, and ready to show off her new do. One of my fears when looking for groomers is bringing my dog to a person that'll mistreat her, but I fully trust that Jennifer treats Solstice with love and care! She does a wonderful job of listening and fulfilling requests, making both Solstice and I completely comfortable. I confidently say that Solstice is in great hands whenever I leave her with Jennifer! I've done my pet grooming research around the area, and it seems as if Critter Corral and all of its wonderful groomers is a total gem! There a quite a few spots out there that overcharge and do not live up to the standard. I highly recommend Critter Corral to my family, friends, and everyone else! PS - love the open cubbie holding spaces vs traditional kennels! I'm sure that's one reason why Solstice feels completely comfortable! read more

Took a chance on this place close to home for Zelda's first haircut and I am so impressed! I called on Thursday and they got her in the next day! Stacy was so kind and when she came out to my car, she asked detailed questions about the type of cut I want for Zelda. They called me with a 20 minute warning before she was ready to be picked up, and Zelda came out happy and beautiful! I am so excited to a have found this place. Will definitely recommend! read more

I'm visiting from out of state and needed a groom for my Cavalier King Charles in a pinch. Jennifer was so friendly on the phone and was able to accommodate. Theo went in with a COVID cut from me--- not cute, but I'm so pleased with the bathing and grooming--- he's literally never been cuter, softer and cleaner! It was also very affordable-- wish I lived closer! Thanks so much Jennifer and Maya! read more

I have gone to Critter Corral for at least 15 years. Many dogs have gone thru their doors. The groomers are terrific, and the owner, Jennifer is so sweet and takes great care of my little Shiz Tzu, Zoey. Great place to go and very close to my house. read more

We asked for a hygienic trim and our Australian shepherd came out completely shaved. His rear end and chest seem like chunks were taken out. We also requested the de-shedding treatment and he seems to be shedding more than before! His hair was blowing all over the car when we picked him up. It was $90 out the door with the wash, trim, and tip. Go to Shampooch! It's further but worth it! read more

10/10 would recommend! Our "regular" groomer was closed & we needed our poodle groomed before pool season.. we researched and came across Critter Corral. We're SO happy we did. We will be returning! Stacy had great suggestions and took what we wanted but made it better. We have had bad experiences with other groomers which has made us weary of new groomers.. but Marshall immediately gave her kisses and wasn't at all scared. A real dog person!! Can't wait to return. read more

I absolutely love this place. I have taken my bichon poo to several grooming places before finding Critter Corral a year ago and I never looked back! Every single time my pup comes home he is looking great but most importantly; he's happy! In the past my dog would be sad and down after a grooming but with Jen, he's still so happy! Jen is so patient, kind, and gentle with every animal she serves. I would trust Jen with my dog any day and tell my friends and family they can too!! read more

Jen is the best groomer out dogs have had in a long time. She always treats them with care and knows what they need. We've moved further away but still willing to make the drive for her. read more

Yes, they do cats! My cat Lucy was badly in need of a bath, and she had a big section of very matted fur on her back. I was able to get an appointment with Jennifer, the groomer who does cats, and we agreed that if she couldn't untangle that matted mass, she would shave it off. When Jennifer told me that she'd had to shave it and Lucy looks a little odd, I didn't know what to expect. When I got her home and let her out of the carrier, I was delighted to see Lioness Lucy. She looks beautiful! Jennifer is an artist, as well as being as nice as she can be. By the way, that mass was huge and I can only imagine how hard it was to separate it from Lucy. Think "shell of box turtle.". I absolutely recommend Critter Corral and I feel so lucky I found them. Big shout-out to Jennifer, who did an outstanding job! read more

I decided to find a new grooming salon because I haven't been really happy with my dog's recent past groomers so I found this place on Yelp. It was a little hard to find but I managed to get here. One thing I really liked about this salon is that it is cage free and once I walked in, the employee that greeted me was really friendly. She listened attentively to what I preferred my dog to look like and why I decided to find a new groomer, and she definitely delivered! When I came to pick up my little sweet dog, she was exactly how I wanted her to look. Prices were pretty decent too. The only downside is that they take cash or checks only, but oh well - I'll still come back! read more

We've been going to Critter Corral for over 20 years. We first found Critter Corral when our dog had been traumatized at a different groomer and we needed somewhere he would feel safe. Critter Corral was the answer, and he loved going there, as have our three dogs that followed him. We are so grateful for how they care for our animals. There is nowhere else we would take our dogs. We always loved Terri, and we love Jen as well. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a groomer who not only does a great job, but truly cares for the well being of the animals they work with. The dogs aren't just a list of customers each day, they know them, know how they act and what they like, and care for them with the love and respect you want your pet given. If you are looking for a new groomer, seriously stop looking, this is where you want to take your furry friends. read more

Critter corral is not just great at grooming and trimming. They treat each animal with so much love. The first time we went there my dogs nails were infected, they cut them and treated them and did not charge us a dime. I would highly recommend this place! read more

One of the first things I noticed when walking in was WOW were all of the dogs calm and relaxed. Every other cageless grooming shop I have been to, the dogs are usually going NUTS and stressed out from the groom. All of these dogs were straight chillin in their little cubbies quietly waiting their turn. I'm pretty picky about how I like my dog, and Jennifer was kind enough to go over everything and ask specific questions to understand what I like/dislike. Not only that, but we were chatting for awhile and she is soooo sweet!!!! You can tell she truly cares about each dog, their happiness, and their well being. 500 stars for Jennifer! SO happy to have found our new groomer! read more

Today was my first experience here and it was fantastic! All of the groomers are friendly and patient with the dogs (and their humans). The dogs all seemed relaxed in their cubbies, which is very reassuring. They only drawback is they don't accept cards, cash and check only. read more

We have continued to take out fur baby to Critter Corral and their service remains top notch! Jennifer always remembers us although our dog only needs a cut 2-3/year. She listens to what we'd like and has great recommendations. Can't say enough of this great shop!! read more

This place is tucked into a run down strip mall...almost no signage. The door is locked and you can only drop your animal after calling to have them open the door....curtains completely closed. When they did the door, the smell of dog urine was so strong it nearly knocked me out. My first visit here and my pup really needed grooming or else I would have turned and left. Very weird vibe. Very expensive ...and I live in north Scottsdale...I was shocked considering the location. Dog grooming was good so no complaints...but post your prices!!! If you do not allow people inside, at least open the curtain...and clean your place. I won't be returning. read more

So happy that I re-discovered Critter Corral!! Stacey did a great job grooming my fur babies. Highly recommend

Took my fur baby here a few weeks ago. My husband actually dropped him off, i just set up the appointment. This groomers is super affordable and listened to what my husband requested for juniors look. He turned out super handsome .

Thank you so much for his much needed haircut. read more

My German Shepherd and Small Aussie mix we're perfectly groomed during the holidays! I've never been so impressed with a groomer. My German Shepherd had a weird allergic reaction to the their natural products they used and his body was covered in scabs (MY DOG HAS SEVERE ALLERGIES IN GENERAL). When I called the owner after taking him to the vet, she asked to me to bring him back in to put the medicated soap on and was SO kind and apologetic (even though it wasn't their fault). I was so impressed with how willing they were to help me out with my fur baby's allergies. This is the only place I trust to bring my dogs and have the job done right! *i wanted to mention that they use all natural products and that my dog was 1 of only 3 in 15 years to have a reaction. Thank you for your wonderful customer service and always making sure your clients dogs are treated like your own! read more

Just moved to Phoenix and my Cookie needed a summer look. I decided to book with critter corral thanks to their great yelp reviews and oh were they all right! They were able to squeeze me in the same day. The front desk lady was so nice and Jen the groomer was amazing. Sweet, knowledgeable and animal lover. So I felt safe to leave her. Jen did an amazing job, cookie looks beautiful and most important she was relaxed and calm after picking her up. Not a sign of stress or being scared. Thanks guys! read more

This is now my favorite grooming salon for Harley. I used to take him to Petsmart -- bad haircuts from different people. Critter Corral is a warm, friendly environment. No crates or barking dogs. The staff was friendly and welcoming. They genuinely look like people that love what they do. Tina was fantastic and listened to what we wanted. Harley was placed in the cutest pet corral! The place even smells good and clean when you walk in. When we picked Harley up he looked perfect! Tina nailed it! I highly recommend that you bring your pet here. Forget about "big box" grooming. Bring your pet to Critter Corral Grooming. read more

My friend recommended this place, she's been bringing her dog here for 2 years. I have had dogs for over 20 years but never actually needed a groomer until now. The place was already full when we arrived at 8am, such cute dogs & they all seemed happy...not scared or mistreated. There was a bunch of people working...not disorganized at all. Terri was who I was referred to, she's the owner too. She was great with my little Athena!! Treated her like she was her own. She just needed a trim by her eyes & her nails cut...but to me that was alot for a 1st visit, cuz she didn't know them yet. But im told she did well. She looks great! I didn't catch the other ladies name that worked there, but she was great with Athena also. They even put a cute pink bow in her hair....super cute!! Great people...great price...great quality of service! We will be going back & referring them as well. Thank You!! read more
