Warning to Dog Owners - Please Read Before Booking…read more They say you don't truly know someone until you live with them. I lived with Karimah Elhabashy and her boyfriend, Luke Pierce, for 8 months in Jamul. What I witnessed during that time compels me to speak out--for the safety of your pets. While Karimah is a skilled groomer, what happens behind closed doors is alarming. I saw repeated instances of disturbing behavior toward their own dogs--nine dogs in total, including six young ones. On multiple occasions, Luke openly admitted to physically harming the dogs, four separate occasions saying, "I just got done beating the hell out of them" after minor scuffles between them. I've personally seen him use a taser on these animals. Karimah admitted to using a cattle prod on her dog Liberty, the mom of the 6 young dogs. Despite my efforts to talk to them, to educate, to beg them to stop--my concerns were dismissed, and I was told to mind my own business. Luke often justified his actions by saying things like, "Do you think I like hurting them?" and "I'm just trying to be their alpha." These are not the words of someone practicing responsible or humane dog care. What's even more concerning is that Karimah brings Luke with her to grooming appointments. He helps her set up and bathe clients' dogs. As someone who lived with them and saw what goes on behind the scenes, I am deeply uncomfortable knowing he's handling other people's beloved pets. She used to groom my dog regularly long before Luke Pierce was in the picture. This is not a personal attack. It's a warning from someone who cares deeply about animals. If Karimah continues to allow Luke to accompany her on grooming jobs, I urge dog parents to think twice. Our pets can't speak for themselves--but I can, and I will. It broke my heart to leave those innocent dogs behind. I worry about them still being up there in Jamul with them. I hope this review protects others.

Dr Elipoulos was professional and made sure my concerns were addressed, but it didnt take until the end of the exam to get the answers I needed, and she was very apologetic if the whole thing. If I was rating for just them, then it would be 4/5. Unfortunately my recent visit was just a recheck to make sure if my dog needed to continue the medication or not. Did not get that and was pushed for a whole new examination which I stated we didnt need at first but relented since the doctor said, then trying to charge me for the entire exam we werent even in for the first place. After showing a negative experience at the end they finally rehecked and said he didnt need the medication and I was good with that. What I didnt appreciate was trying to be charge for something we didnt come in for. The lady at the front counter only removed such a charge after receiving some pushback, and then she was pretty unprofessional afterwards. I didnt even recieve a refill, and would need to make another exam if an issue persist, which I believe would come at more charges just to refill. They also use AI to record their visit, so if youre against it you actively have to say it. They will neither prompt you or point it out to you that you have a choice, youll need to read and request it yourself. Ill say come for the veterinarians but have a voice when it comes to some of these predatory prices and practices.
