Annette’s Doggie Spa & Mobile Grooming

She is extremely patient and an excellent groomer. I couldn’t give her the right directions to my place, but, she found her way. Really sorry about that! I definitely recommend her and I for sure, am choosing Anette for the next groom :) Have tried petsmart and other grooming places and was never satisfied. My baby looks so cute now. Thanks a lot Annette for your patience.

Have tried many dog salons over the years as we have moved to different states. Recently relocated back to San Jose and was looking for a mobile dog spa to groom our two Shih Tzus after some of the horror stories I have heard from Petco and Pet Smart where they will leave your dog in blower cages which can cause your dog health issues. After reading reviews here on Unilocal I decided to try Annette about 6 months ago and am super happy! She treats our dogs like they are her own babies! Both of my Shih Tzus love her and when they see her pull up out front they are so excited!
One of the best things is that she will come to you and you can watch her bathe and groom your dogs from your home. My dogs are so happy to be able to see us and Annette is just a gem! Try her mobile spa and you can’t go wrong!

This is the personal message the groomer sent me before her reply to my review on Unilocal,and, my response to it.

Hello, Are you the Polish Girl who came with your extremely dirty and neglected dog. You wanted this dog as short as possible. You wanted your dog shaved to the extreme what do you expect. This is a young dog who wiggles around like crazy and he is not fixed. It is not fair to hurt my business like this. You will never come again. Please take your review back. Thanks
Spectator O: Your first statement and the way your message is written backs up my remark of your unprofessionalism and for that alone I would give you a negative review. After talking with a veterinarian, other dog groomers and reading your dog grooming history, training and experience it is my opinion that you are not qualified to handle dogs let alone run a dog grooming business. And we also heard you lose your cool with our dog while waiting outside your grooming trailer. No I will not come again. Thanks.
My dog is not neglected, we took him in after getting dirty in a dog park, that’s why we asked for a bath first. We did not ask to «shave him to the bone», we asked for short. And if a professional did not recommended a «shaved to the bone» groom, why did she do just that? We asked if we could wait in the car because we had a bad feeling and did not feel comfortable leaving our dog with her. We had just moved from New York at the time, we stayed in a hotel, not in a car. But that’s irrelevant and really none of her business. Our dog never had any injuries on his hind leg. This groomer lies about everything in her response accept the fact that our dog IS a Cocker/​Bichon with a Beautiful coat. In 2013 she became a certified dog groomer and in my opinion, you cannot be prepared for all the different breeds and characters in two years.
I also find it a pattern that every time she gets a bad review, it’s a «neglected dog».

Annette was very nice to our 2 dogs that she groomed. One of the dogs was my neighbor’s and his hair was overgrown and matted up as he is an outdoor pet but she was so patient and was kind to go slow and made it a good experience for him. Definitely will call her again for all my future needs!

Great service, great pricing and great job done. I am so impressed. My dog had a blast and feels like million bucks! She feels like a brand new dog. The hair cut was fantastic and my dog and I are thankful. I recommend Anette’s, you won’t be disappointed.

So happy with Annette and her mobile service. She is great with my dog and put both of us at ease. Her prices are good, better than most and she comes right to your house.
I like the fact that my dog is not kept in a kennel and she has all of Annette’s attention. The whole process is a hour. I cannot say enough good things about Annette. She is a pleasure to work with and if my dog is happy and likes her I’m happy. No more stressful visits to Pet Smart. So glad I found her!!!

My dog’s MARBLE new Grrrrooooming salon for sure… very convient, Annete is really cool, reasonable price… awesome experience definite coming back… with all my dogs

Annette was very efficient and prices are reasonable.
She takes care to put my dog at ease before she starts grooming.
My dog always looks great when she comes home.
I highly recommend Annette.

My review is based on the recent grooming service Annette provided us. It was easy to schedule an appointment; Annette showed up on time, her rate was very reasonable, above all our baby looked fabulous. The big plus for me was the convenience of getting you pooch groomed at your doorstep, with no unnecessary wait times, that stress both the pet and the owner.
We certainly plan on using her services at a regular basis.

We have been using Annette for about a year now and are very happy with the service. Annette has committed her life to dogs. She spends every day improving the lives of the dogs she cares for. They get lots of walks and love and she is very careful with them. We appreciate her very much.

WARNING!!! Graphic language!
I reviewed this «groomer» on Saturday and warned of the unprofessional way she not only treated me but my elderly dog who is now in pain due to her dropping him off the grooming table. Here is a text I received the following day threatening me. The text speaks for itself. Would you trust your dog to people like this?
Hello mr whatever the fuck ur name is: im annettes boyfriend and i was not around when u came by with ur shitty dog. I saw him a little before i left and that was severly neglected animal up you actually will be reported to animal cruelty services. She just started a small business of her own and currently getting everything in order. All i can say is that u are very lucky that i wasnt there. If you come around here here again without your dog. Well i will not threaten you but if you ever come across my gf like that again well ill let u use your imgaination you little. For your own safety dont come around here again.

I highly recommend her services, she is so loving and caring with pets, I’m very happy customer and please with her knowledge about pet grooming, thanks Annette you are the best out there!

I’ve taken my dog to petco, Petsmart. And other private parties and he would snap at them the large stores wouldn’t even see him anymore so I found Anette, she was so gentle since day one actually took the time to get to know my Pulgoso talked to him, and he seemed to warm up to her very quickly… …I love that she respects my time and when I’m in a hurry she’s always available. Her pricing is awesome and I have recommended her to friends and family! Thank you Annette!

We starting using Annette about a year ago to sit and groom our dogs. She is a wonderful alternative to the petsmart facilities. Our pups have a great time at Annette’s and she treats them as if they are her own. I hope that she doesn’t get to popular, and won’t have availability for us…
