Extension of my previous review because it was off putting that this business would prefer to…read moredeflect than accept feedback. 1. Regarding my pup contracting Giardia--I already stated in my original review that I understand parasites are common and my puppy was probably more susceptible, so I wasn't placing blame on the facility. Just a warning that these things happen. However I would like to point out that my dog did not go anywhere else besides home and their facility (since theyre insinuating that it could've been contracted elsewhere). Additionally, the fact that Furrtropolis requires a negative fecal test every 6 months is a warning in itself that any dog could be carrying a parasite between that time, so this requirement isn't full proof. This is just the nature of daycares and boarding facilities, and it wasn't the sole reason I decided we wouldn't be returning. 2. Regarding kennel cough--again just spreading the warning of what my dog experienced coming back from the facility. I'm fully aware they don't have control over the health of every dog that enters. 3. Records show that we were in contact, because as I stated in my review, I would have to continously badger the staff in order to get any updates. Yes, responses were prompt but that wasn't the issue. It was getting updates to begin with, without me having to reach out on the 4th day of boarding to ask how things went. I've seen other boarding places have cameras or provide daily updates (on meals, training sessions, nap time, etc)--totally fine if this isn't one of those places and you're a dog parent that doesn't mind. It's just not for me. *I also want to clarify that I directly expressed to the staff multiple times of wanting more communication/updates and it not being met before I came to yelp* 4. This just further proves my point on the poor communication from this facility, the fact that I wasn't made aware my pup might have had a decrease in appetite or activity level is serious alarm bells. Both of those things would indicate to me that something is off since my dog normally has endless energy and a black hole for a stomach. At the very least, a simple update that my dog just finished his additional 1:1 training session/1:1 play session that I paid extra for would've been nice. My dog is the love of my life and I'm sure other pet parents feel the same. It's important for me to share my experiences to provide insight for others and so the business can improve for others.

You can tell right away that she genuinely loves dogs and cares about making them feel comfortable. She even gave Lily little snacks and took the time to help her feel safe and calm during the grooming process. She listened carefully to exactly how I wanted Lily groomed and did everything perfectly. Lily came out looking adorable, and it was exactly what I had asked for. I also appreciated that Angela never made me feel rushed. Since it's mobile grooming, I expected a quick handoff, but she was so kind and accommodating the entire time. At one point Lily was barking a little, and Angela had no problem letting me step into the van for a minute to reassure her. That meant a lot to me. She was incredibly understanding and patient, especially knowing Lily can be a little apprehensive at first. What really stood out was how much Angela talked about wanting to build trust and a relationship with both me and Lily over time so grooming becomes easier and more comfortable for her. That level of care is rare. Dependable, on time, compassionate, talented, and just genuinely kind. It honestly felt more like leaving Lily with a trusted friend than a groomer. Highly recommend Angela!

I have been bringing my dog (a 15lb shih tzu) to Colleen for grooming every 5 weeks since June…read more2017. After almost 5 years with her, it's hard to know where to start with this review. Colleen is incredibly kind-hearted and attentive. She always puts your pet's safety and comfort first. We spent time at the beginning of each appointment just chatting and letting my dog roam around her space, so he had time to get comfortable and Colleen could get to know us, our needs, updates, etc. At the end, she also gave me an overview of what happened during the grooming session (sometimes he can be a little troublesome, especially with his nails getting trimmed, while other times he is an angel). Colleen is a very honest and direct person, which may be off-putting to people who aren't used to that sort of personality, but I highly appreciate it. She is extremely knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge to help improve your pet's well-being and relationship with you. Again, she does all this with kindness, respect, and patience. We had a regular recurring schedule with her, but whenever there was a holiday or I had to leave for a trip, Colleen was always flexible and accommodating with adjusting our appointments or open to having my friend drop off my dog to her instead of me. Our appointments were usually about 1.5 hours long (15-30 mins of which were spent talking), so I often went to Big Mug Coffee down the street on El Camino (also highly recommended) to wait out the grooming session with a coffee and pastries. Colleen is incredibly passionate about what she does. She almost always gave my dog an extra cute little bandana or bow tie (which she makes herself!) after every session, and one year she also gave us an adorable personalized Christmas ornament. It really just told me how much she cares. I was so sad when I finally told her that we were moving, and because of Colleen, the next groomer that we have to find will have a very high bar to meet.

Colleen deserves 10 stars for the fabulous job she has done with our 10 year old Pomeranian,…read moreAshley. Here's the story .... Like most Pom's, Ashley started out with a beautiful, thick coat, requiring a good amount of bathing and brushing, to keep her looking her best. Over time, with a house full of small children, and other obligations and distractions, I did not keep up with the grooming enough, and so she started to get her share of matted hair. Then, when she would get a bath and I tried to brush her, it got to be painful for her. My sweet little Pom started to become Cujo, every time she saw a hair brush. Not good. Finally, I decided to take her to Petsmart in Milpitas for "professional" grooming. Their solution was a complete disaster. They shaved her, sparing only a mane around her face, making her look like a little lion. This is completely inappropriate for a Pom .. but that was the least of our problems. Serious skin.follicle damage prevented her coat from properly growing back in. My vet even tested her for health issues, thinking she might have a nutritional disorder. Another local groomer did their best for her, but still her coat was quite thin, and really had lost its original beauty. I pretty much accepted things as they were, but would never encourage others to shave a Pomeranian. Frankly, I feel like the shop that pulled this number should have their license yanked. As I got busy with work, my dear wife started to make the runs to the groomer every six weeks. She had a less than ideal experience with the groomer I had been using, when she drove in rush hour traffic to drop the dog off for an appointment, only to learn that something had come up and so they needed to see the dog another day. My wife had had enough, so she decided to seek a groomer who she felt might our needs better. She came across Colleen and Lovin' All the Babies. Colleen made sure that we checked with our vet to be sure there were no health issues contributing to the damaged coat, and used her experience and gentle products, helped Ashley to regain her beauty. If someone looks at a photo of our dog from a couple years ago, they probably would not believe that it is the same dog seen today. I cannot thank Colleen enough for all she has done for our dog, but I do urge others to support this wonderful groomer.

She has even helped me get him out from under the bed when it is time for his nail trim (how is that for A-1 service!!). I am very curious where these fake negative reviews are coming from? Also astonished by the number of people who cancel at the last minute? This is no different than making an appointment with a hairdresser -- if you cancel at the last minute or no-show, there is a fee. Come on, people, Amanda is a professional, and if we expect professional services for our fur babies, we need to treat her as such. I recommend Amanda highly and will continue to book her to take care of my little guy (he is not so little, but will always be my baby). Have attached photos as I am a proud momma.

Very disappointing and frustrating experience!…read more The groomer canceled our appointment at the very last minute--literally LESS THAN 3 HOURS BEFORE the scheduled appointment! I booked this appointment one month in advance, confirmed it again a week ago, and even received an appointment reminder the day before. Despite all of that, I received a text message less than three hours before the appointment saying that the groomer was canceling because she is pregnant and only two weeks away from her due date. I completely understand that pregnancy and childbirth are unpredictable, and I sincerely wish her a safe and healthy delivery. However, I find it extremely frustrating that an appointment was scheduled with a client when she was already so close to her due date. At two weeks away, there is a very real possibility that plans may need to change at any time. If there was significant uncertainty about being able to work, I believe appointments during this period should not have been accepted in the first place--especially when clients have to make arrangements, take time off work, and plan their schedules around the appointment. Now I am left scrambling to find another groomer at the last minute. Anyone who has a dog knows how difficult this can be. Good groomers are often booked weeks, sometimes even a month, in advance, so finding a comparable replacement with only a few hours' notice is extremely difficult and stressful. What makes this even more disappointing is that I specifically chose this groomer because of the stellar Yelp reviews. I thought we were choosing a highly recommended groomer for our fur baby and were looking forward to finally trying the service. Unfortunately, we will never know whether she is actually a good groomer, because after this experience, we will not be using this business.
