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

Bleeding dewclaws on both sides

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!!!

See all

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!

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.

If they haven't had the item I'm seeking, they make helpful suggestions. Longer: I have an extremely picky cat and there have been times over the years I've forgotten to order her special food or the delivery is delayed, so then I go hunting through the City. Plus, I love animals and stopping in a mom and pop pet shop "just to see what there is" happens frequently xD Unfortunately, the Animal Company hasn't carried what I needed in the past, as the cat and dog food selection is fairly limited (yet varied) given the hundreds of varieties of foods nowadays. I digress... just last weekend my kitty's special kidney food was delayed in transit and the lil chonker ate through her last order in record time. Kitty has gotten accustomed to a mix of kidney+core wellness and she let us know allllllll night Friday into Saturday that her food was not right. After two nights in a row of poor sleep, I was determined to find (Weruva) Wx Low Phos tilapia+tuna somewhere in the City. PFE website says they have it, but no stores have in stock (thank goddess I called before trekking). Called a few of the smaller shops around town with no luck. As options were dwindling, I gave The Animal Company a call and imagine my surprise when a cheery voice on the other end of the phone confirmed they did indeed have what I was looking for! It was 4th of July and the person on the phone informed me they were closing early, around 3pm, and put 4 cans of food aside for me. I immediately hopped off the couch and we got on our way to the J. Within an hour I had kidney friendly food plus some kidney friendly treats (!! Wx Low Phos new product) in hand, a full belly (stopped at Subs Inc. across the street), and we were on our way back home. Note: yes, about half+ the store is dedicated to birbs. I'm glad I took some time to read reviews+Rick's responses here on Yelp, 'cause admittedly it made me a lil sad to see some of the birbs in the store, I realize now I subconsciously avoided it. Turns out, many of the birbs in store are being boarded (and very! well cared for). Totally understandable some may look sad given they're in a new environment and very likely missing their humans. I know my kitty would be absolutely out of sorts if taken out of home while I was away (and sure, birbs are different than cats, but these birbs are VERY smart). I've been following a woman on YT, I think a random covid SiP stumble, who has educated me on these magnificent, fascinating creatures (birbs). Even if you never want to own a parrot/tangential, I recommend giving a watch https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ET3cCXsKZ1Q
