I understand the groomer isn't there all day most days and this might be tricky.

Karen helped me out by taking my 2 large German Shepherds after finding a few fleas on them. This happened to my dogs after staying at the, " La Quinta" (pet friendly hotel). We have been on the road for six days traveling from New York on our way back to California. This morning we woke up to both dogs scratching miserably, with fleas from this hotel! Karen told me she was actually booked solid this morning but she rearranged her schedule to help us out because of our situation. Karen's attention to detail, great communication skills, and ready smile made the experience even better than I expected. I am so excited to share this with you! We are so pleased with her expertise and expedient service! We were able to get back on the road and continue our travel within one hour from dropping the dogs off. Hence, Karen's professionalism and enthusiasm to get to the root of the issue promptly exceeded my expectations. She called us when the dogs were finished. When we picked them up she surprised us with a 10% military discount which I stood there in disbelief! This type of professionalism and commitment to the highest level of customer's satisfaction has to be acknowledged. Having in mind such a pleasant experience with her and her lovely employee! It is my pleasure to recommend anyone reading this to do business with her in the future! Sincerely, London Fiehler

READ MY REVIEW!!! If I could give negative stars I would…read more NEVER BRING YOUR DOG HERE. I am active-duty military stationed in San Diego, CA, I was 6 months pregnant when this incident occurred now that I am not pregnant anymore, back from deployment, and in a good routine with my baby, I want to get justice for my dog. A little back story, Pearl was my 4-year-old healthy English bulldog that I had gotten while I was stationed in Japan. She flew all the way from Japan to the United States without any issues and went to the vets prior to this trip to NM (which I have documentation stating that she was 100% a healthy dog). On March 21st, 2025, I had last minute decided to board my dogs, Pearl (English bulldog) and Levi (Akita Inu) at Karen's Animal House (ADDRESS- 1646 Mahaney Dr, Las Cruces, NM 88005) for a quick overnight stay. As I went to drop them off, I explained to the worker that Pearl needs to be kept cool. He stated, "don't worry, we get bulldogs all the time here," this gave me some reassurance that Pearl was in good hands for the night. Pearl and Levi were dropped off at 12:30pm. Around 1:30pm, a worker called me to say that Pearl was outside, she got hot, and they brought her inside. Around 3:30pm, I was called again and told that Pearl was unresponsive, and he think she has passed away. I was hysterical, I proceeded to tell him to call the vets immediately or bring her to wherever vets and I would be there AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I was there in less than 10 minutes. As I arrived to Karens Animal House, NONE of the workers were helping me even locate Pearl. I went slamming through each room and not a single person stopped to assist me. I walked out to their grass yard, where I saw this worker carrying my dog out in her bed and she was clearly dead. SHE WAS ONLY THERE FOR 3 HOURS. Her body was so cold and stiff, I could not understand what had happened within 3 hours. My other dog was a wreck. Karen has never called or even tried to reach out to me or even pay for any of this. I paid for Pearl to get a necropsy done immediately because I couldn't drive back to San Diego with my dead dog in the car. The necropsy came back that she aspirated due to "foreign material." Meaning, her death could have 100% been preventable, just like if you see a HUMAN BEING CHOKING. The workers failed to mention to me if she had possibly vomited at any point, I was told that Pearl was being watched by one of the other workers, which is clear negligence. It isn't like she dropped dead because of a heart attack; ANYONE would have noticed a dog choking. I had gotten in contact with an Officer Aguirre of Las Cruces Animal Control. He went to Karens Animal Place to interview, I asked if they had footage from the cameras and he said that he asked but apparently the cameras "didn't work." He also told me that he was going to get somebody to arrest me because I was "threatening him." I spoke with him again; he said that there was nothing that he could do and the case was closed. This was traumatizing, he seemed to be taking the easy way out. I didn't understand why animal cruelty laws were not being followed judging by where I live in San Diego, this situation hell would be raised. This event caused me so much emotional stress that I have been diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety, and depression and now must take medication every day to regulate myself. This whole thing happening while I was 6 months pregnant, I had too many scares thinking that I lost my baby. Pearl was my whole heart, and it truly felt like I lost my child. I know nothing will bring her back, but I want justice for her and I don't believe Karen should get away with this. Dogs don't just die in 3 hours.

we have been taking all of our pets to this facility and at its previous location for over 26…read moreyears. We have had nothing but awesome care for our animals. The entire staff is very sympathetic to issues with our loved ones and takes care of them as if they were their own. I read some of the one star reviews, and they are a joke. I have never in all my years seen them treat or speak to anybody poorly. You have to remember they are a business and as sympathetic as they may be to handing out free care that's not how a successful business works. If you want the absolute best care for your animals this is where you need to go. If you want to complain about not being able to pay or walking in on a Monday or a Friday, which are hands down their busiest days and expect to be treated within seconds you need to reevaluate your life decision decisions.
