Pet Grooming & Spa

I keep bringing my dog here for the bath and brush. It’s little to say my dog is afraid of everything, but she is doing better and better.
I will definitely recommended this service to other dog owners.

Do not take your pet here!!! My chihuahua got «kennel cough» from this place and he’s gotten really sick. I should have realized from the previous reviews that this place was not fit to be open but my instincts were ignored. They didn’t even do a good job which pissed me off.

I had good experiences here; only with the groomer, Linda. If you ask for anyone, ask for her.
I think the other groomers were canned because of the horrid job they did – was pissed when they charged me 50 dollars for the grooming they did to my dachshund/​toy poodle mix… horrid job (also back in 2009); probably the same person who shaved the lab LOL. I remember the groomer reading «How to groom» book. and I was thinking. WTF
I think currently they’re trying to reverse all the negative reviews they’ve gotten, so they actually hired someone who knows something. Linda does a pretty good job with my dog. haven’t had any complaints out of the 15 times she groomed my dog. They do really get busy on weekends, sometimes 3 – 5 hours delay. If you want your dog groomed, doing it on the WEEKDAY… freaking quick!

I think this grooming place has really turned around. Last time I took my terrier here the people were rude and they didn’t even cut him the way I wanted.!! I took my terrier back there to give the place a second chance, and luckily it’s under new management now. The people there are really nice and handled my terrier with care. I give this place a five star and i recommend you to take your pets here:)

If you love your dog, NEVER take them here.
We saw this place and thought we’d give it a try, so we brought our pomeranian here for a trim. When we came to pick her up, they had completely shaved off all her hair, which was NOT what we wanted. They said it was because she had a lot of knots, and was also difficult to handle because she kept biting them as they were brushing her. None of the previous grooming places ever had any trouble with her, and were able to take care of any knots without resorting to shaving everything off. The «groomers» were extremely rude and spoke to us in a condescending manner, and treated us like we didn’t know how to take care of our dog. When we got home, we noticed that they had nicked our pom’s butt when they shaved her. It bothered her for days and brought her energy level down. It seems like this place hires any idiot who has a razor and calls them a dog groomer.

This is the same business as Pet Groom and Spa located at
400 Blossom Hill Rd
San Jose, CA 95 123

They have multiple names due to all the bad reviews. This is what this establishment did to my dog
Also, they have a grade of «D» on the Better Business Bureau website.

DON’T DO IT!!! My groomer left the vet she worked at, and did not relocate, so I thought I’d try this place. I followed the street ad saying $ 20 or less for walk-​ins, so when I walked-​in, she said she couldn’t get me in for a two days. Ok. So I brought my dog in 2 days later. Twenty pound Sheltie/​Pomeranian mix needs trimming of hair and nails, and a bath. My appt was at 9:00 am, and my dog wasn’t going to be ready until 2:00 pm. So much for walk-​in service. I didn’t have a good feeling when I saw the owners opening up the place, and I should’ve gone with that first feeling… DON’T DO IT!!! When I picked her up, the bill was $ 50. I did not leave a tip… thankfully, because when I finally saw my dog, I was shocked. I said a trim, not a shave. Everything about her was butched, with the exception of her plumed tail. I was so shocked that all I could say is «she looks like a different dog». My family was so upset with me when I brought her home, but I felt it would just grow back in time. I haven’t called them to tell them how upset I am. I just figured I will NEVER go back. Plus, while waiting for my dog, another small poodle was being COMPLETELY shaved. She claimed it had fleas. I noticed a few open nics on it’s skin. The poor dog was shivering and scared to death. Made me wonder how scared my dog must’ve been. The one last thing I noticed about my own dog is that she didn’t smell pretty, like she usually does coming home from the groomer. Makes me wonder if they even bathed her. I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS PLACE.

I have taken my dogs a few times now because I had such a difficult time getting them in to another groomer. They have easy appointments for starters. I have a hard time scheduling an appointment 6 – 8 weeks out like other places. My Westie always comes out looking stunning, the skirt kept short just like I like. My Yorkie, who we don’t puppy cut, gets a great trim and she shaves his tummy and thins out his thick puppy hair as we are letting it grow into a traditional Yorkie doo always looks great! Both dogs love going there and the staff know them both by name now. I have never had a problem with either hair cut. The owner has a Yorkie of her own and knows exactly all the issues that hair can have. She is friendly and I will continue to use them. Two thumbs up for this place!

Their employees are rude, nasty and speak like their from the getto.
I do not know where they get their people, I think somewhere in Alabama, there is a few people missing from the trailer park.

PLEASE IGNORE THE 1 STAR I WAS FORCED TO GIVE…
my dog, mufasa, was in desperate need of a groomer. i am a busy bee/​lazy butt, so i never have time to drop him off at carmalitas because they only take pets from 9−10AM. i came across this place i found on yahoo yellow pages. this place looked like a jail for dogs. i was so hesitant of leaving my baby here, but after walking in, i felt awkward for walking back out. so i thought, «hey why not give this place a shot.» i dropped him off and they told me he would be ready by 3PM and they told me to call to make sure he was ready before i picked him up. so i called at 2:45PM and they assured me he was ready. by the time i got there, they made me wait about 45 more minutes. while i was waiting i could hear dogs barking, screaming, or crying. I was hoping it was not my baby who was crying. when he came out, his entire body was shaved down nearly to his skin. i asked for a trim! i was so upset and i told them this was not how i wanted! There was nothing i could do about it, so i just took mufasa home. when i got home, i noticed that his left paw was really sensitive. and i noticed there was dry blood on his nail. it looks as though they cut his nail too close and he started to bleed! my pooor baby! i was sooooooooooo upset, i called in to complain and they were so unprofessional about the situation. They just took my verbal abuse and didnt seem to give a s#!t! i was sooooooo angry! anyways, i guess there was nothing i could do besides vent to Unilocal about how awful this place was! i give this places zero stars! i would never come back to this place ever again! and i would not recommend this place to anybody! even if they gave freee grooming services, id never return! stay away from this place. .they hurt doggies!!!
