All Breed Dog Grooming

My son and I needed a groomer for our Bichon Frise while attending a Private Investigators conference in Austin, Brutus, became ill and so for a quick clean up we needed to take him to a groomer. Muttley Kreu referred us to All Breeds as it was close to the conference and they were booked, not a good area of town but convenient… anyway I digress, my son wanted to wait as it wasn’t a detailed groom and this woman I later found out the owner Mitzi was so rude and aggressive it troubled me so we left while she continued to scream at us. Needless to say with all the violence today I used my tools of investigation and found a criminal background of the owner, Mitzi Brooks in another state for violence. I am grateful for this forum to vent my concern. Thank u… next will be the better business bureau. hopefully this is enough info for Unilocal

Woman was very rude. I asked if I could wait and watch my dog while she groomed and was told «maybe you should go to petsmart instead…» What is she trying to hide? I would not take my dogs here after that exchange. I’m not sure if she is even licensed or insured. Please use at your own risk!

All Breeds is the best dog groomer I’ve worked with in a lifetime of owning dogs. My dog is with Mitzi right now, and I’m excited for him. This is his «day at the spa.» He really enjoys going to see her and she clearly loves taking care of him. A true dog lover, through and through. And her work is incredible– he always looks like a brand new dog who’s had a fun, relaxing day!

I was recommended this place from Lee and Paul’s groomer who are not currently taking new clients. Never got to experience the actual grooming service from All Breed. I called to have my boy’s puppy cut updated and was refused because he was too old and had not been to a professional groomer before. (He has been groomed by the show breeder for 6 years in a very busy (dog) environment). Their prerogative but was very disappointed that they didn’t even ask about his temperament or have him come in to see how he would do.

They do NOT actually service all breeds. When my husband tried to get service for our terrier mix, they refused service citing that they don’t handle «our breed of dog.» Then, the woman working there followed my husband out to his vehicle yelling at him. Very rude. Our dog is 45 pounds and a good girl. There was no reason for this and I consider this false advertising and poor customer service.

I will second what Priscilla said. This woman is rude and condescending.

Mitzi is a god-​send! My peke-​cocker mix, Walter, is touch sensitive. I don’t know what happened to him in the four years of his life before he arrived at APA, but he really does not like getting groomed.
I discovered this first when bringing him to another well-​known groomer in the area. They weren’t able to finish him (even when he had on a basket muzzle), and told me in the future they would consider bathing him but not grooming him. At first, I was disappointed but couldn’t blame them.
All Breed Dog Grooming is across the street from my apartment. I had passed it many times but never given much thought to the place with the simple sign and straightforward name, until Walter got so fluffy, and it got so hot out, and he was always covered in sticky burrs. I really wanted to help him out by getting him a shorter cut, but I just didn’t know if there was anywhere I could take him.
I was surprised to see All Breed had a handful of really good reviews here on Unilocal,so I called and explained that Walter was very touch sensitive. Mitzi said that she had been grooming for 14 years and felt that she was up for the challenge. I brought Walter in, and he did indeed prove to be a challenge.
Unlike other more «prissy» groomers out there, Mitzi showed extreme patience on that first time grooming him. She kept him from 8am to 2pm — sent me text updates and a picture, and gave him breaks when he needed them. Despite it being a nerve wracking experience for her (Walter gets pretty freaked out when the clippers come out and go anywhere near his neck/​chest/​feet), she managed to finish the grooming completely (not leaving his head and paws long like the other place did). And at the end, she explained to me what she did and how he handled it and suggested I bring him back from a couple baths during the summer as his hair grew out so he could get used to being groomed.
Last week, I decided to bring him in for a bath, as we’d discussed, and Mitzi, on a hunch that it was the grooming table/​noose that stressed Walter out, gave him a trim free of charge, and did his grooming on the couch, and on a table without the noose. She said he handled it much better, and that he just didn’t like having stuff around his neck. She suggested when I picked him up that I bring him back once a month or so for a small trim and bath rather than letting his hair grow out and having to groom him from scratch (he’s veryyyy fluffy).
All I can say is God bless people like Mitzi, who have patience and compassion. She was certainly under no obligation to take a risk in grooming my sensitive and sometimes snappy pup, but she sympathized, and did, and even found a way to make it less traumatic for him. She even sends a pic when he’s done or during to let me see how it’s going. She shows Walter and her other four-​legged clients with such affection that I know this is a labor of love for her.
I can’t say how relieved I am to have found All Breed Dog Grooming — and so lucky to have it right across the street! But if your dog is nervous about being groomed or you just want to be sure they are in loving hands while getting cleaned up, I’d definitely recommend All Breed! There is also a discount if you let her know you found her on Unilocal

My boy is the white poodle with the camo bandana. I just realized I’ve been using Mitzi for a year now. Yeah, All Breeds is still awesome:)

Great job on my pup and I felt very comfortable leaving him there as I was confident he was in good hands. The owner and I talked for about 15 minutes before I left him and she brought out her pup for them to meet and make mine more comfortable. I’d recommend this place to anyone. Thanks!

Highly recommened! Mitzi did an amazing job on my recently adopted stray. My schnauzer/​poodle mix was a mess and completely matted on her underside. I don’t think she’d ever been to a groomer and was a little nervous. Mitzi was very gentle and let my dog warm up to her before she took her behind the counter. When I returned, not only did she look beautiful, but she didn’t want to leave! She was laying on the couch with a toy perfectly content. All Breed Dog Grooming doesn’t feel like a sterile grooming salon. It’s warm, has plants, couches, pillows and smells good. I think this is why my dog felt so relaxed. This place is reasonably priced and well worth every penny.

I have been doing a lot of dog rescues for dogs that are about to get euthanized at ACS in San Antonio and these dogs are in pretty bad shape, they all have been abused mentally and physically and they have never been groomed. I called around asking if groomers can donate a free cut to these very brave deserving Dogs that had a very rough life. I even called my own personal groomer. Mitzy at All Breed Dog Grooming was the only person that offered to groom these sweet Dogs for free. So far she has groomed 6 of my dogs and she is so amazing. These are long hair breed dogs that have not been groomed in many years if ever at all, so there hair is in very bad shape. Mitzy Loves them, talks to them and gains there trust before she even grooms. When i came to pick up GG, my very first rescue dog to get groomed by her I didnt even recognize my dog. WOW!!! amazing, not only did she make this dog beautiful but this dog was smiling and wagging her tail, so she gained this dogs trust and made her feel so good, cutting away all of her matted up hair. All of my rescue Dogs have been adopted in wonderful loving homes with the help from Mitzy, she made these dogs look and feel beautiful again. I have also now started taking my own Dogs, my Yorkie Sammie and my Shih Tzu Alfie to Mitzy becasue she does such an amazing job. What I also Love, is that Mitzy never over books so she is not totally rushing. To many accidents happen and DOgs get hurt when groomers over book. Mitzy keeps it to a minimum so she can give her DOgs the best grooming experience ever and she doesnt put them in a dark room in a cage when they are done. she let’s them chill with her and her Dog Chase Lamar, her Love bug that she rescued herself.
I highly recommend Mitzy at All Breed Dog Grooming. I trust her with my Dogs and my dogs are my life so that says a lot. She does a great job and Loves each and every Dog and treats them as her own…

I took my pup here for his first grooming ever, and Mitzi did a fantastic job! You get 15% off your first groom. She only does a handful of grooms a day, so make sure you call her in advance!
This place is located next door to a used car lot, but don’t be fooled by her location. She has years of experience and listens carefully to what you want. My rambunctious pup doesn’t sit still but came out of there with no cuts, and seemed completely happy. He was not shaking or traumatized, at all — and even ran back to give Mitzi some doggy kisses.
The only reason why she doesn’t get 5 stars, is because it is such a small place. She is the only one that works here, so sometimes she won’t be able to answer the phone while she’s bathing, blow drying, or giving a dog a haircut. Leave a message, she’ll get back to you.
Oh and if you go, tell her Stephanie J. referred you! Anytime you refer someone, you get $ 5 off your groom. So if you get enough referrals your next groom could be free! lol. (And no, Mitzi doesn’t even know that I’m writing this review.) I’ll have to post pictures of my lovely pup, but if you’re curious just click on my profile. He’s a cutie.
