I HIGHLY recommend coming to Anita’s. We’ve been taking our Cairn Terrier Yoda to her for his entire 16+ years of living.She is a very friendly and kind person.I never get any bad vibes from her and Yoda loves going there and he always comes home looking so handsome🐾I just recently got a new puppy and will be taking him to Anita’s for sure..it’s not up for debate.We sometimes ask for our dog to be cut a certain way and she exceeds every time!If it wasn’t for Anita idk what we would do.I love when Yoda comes home with the little cute bow ties.We’ve also brought in my boyfriends dog Dora and she also loved it. She home looking like a pretty girl😍Thank you Anita we love it here!

Anita does an excellent job with my 2 English Crocker Spaniels. I have been bringing them to her for 10 years. The dogs love going to see Auntie Anita and the get very excited when I turn down the street where her shop is. That alone tells me that there is no fear going there for them! I have recommended her to many friends.

Anita never fails to treat our Maggie with respect and care. Maggie comes home so happy to be clean and well-groomed. Anita is a joy to work with! Always fair pricing and good quality grooming. She's very nice, personable, friendly and caring. Never had a problem after years of service! We love her!~Todd and Tracie

Our family has been using Anita as our dog groomer for 11 years. She is a dog whisperer. A very caring, committed and flexible person. She has loved our animals. Our first dog adored me but would not let me brush her. A friend recommended Anita and our dog ,who could be aggressive, allowed Anita to bathe and groom her with no problems! We were sold! Our current dog is very anxious and not good with people or other dogs. She is also little. Anita arranges a spot in her schedule every month so our dog will only be with other small dogs so she's comfortable. Our dog, Faith, just loves Anita! She looks forward to seeing her every month when I mention Anita's name she gets very excited to visit her. She always comes home happy and looking smashing. Any special requests are always accommodated. Thank you Anita

Its hard to believe that some nut job that has no life would have anything negative to say about Anita. I have been going to Anita for years and my dog absolutely loves her! If my dog for any reason pulled away and was fearful about going in there would be a reason for concern. As soon as my Maltese hears Anita she can't wait to get out of her crate to see her! People who want to purposely destroy someone's career because they felt entitled to something and didn't receive it needs a reality check! True meaning of the name "Karen"! Go Anita! You're the best!

5 stars. More stars if I could. Anita is so sweet and nice and accommodating. I had a Shepherd mix who couldn't be around small dogs, so she came in on a Sunday when she's normally closed to groom him. She will stop everything she's doing and clip nails if you drop in with your dog, no appointment needed. Love this place ❤️😍

We love Anita's Animal Antics!! Anita is so pleasant and you can tell she loves animals. She always greets Bailey and is so gentle with her. She is very busy though so it's important to call several weeks ahead if you want to gt an appointment. We have been to other groomers, but Anita's salon is the best!!!

My family's dog had been going here for three years, Ms. Anita always did an awesome job. Our little dog is a bit rambunctious and slightly hard to manage, but she knew how to handle her; and we always came back to pick up our normal happy fluffy tail wagging pup. Originally we decided to not write a review because derogatory reviews aren't our cup of tea. But when we read the reviews and saw another dog owner with a similar situation, we felt like we should warn people. On October 6'th, 2017 our little girl had to be rushed to the VCA emergency room, because she supposedly "jumped off a grooming table" that's what Ms. Anita told us. Our dog had a sprained leg and she limped around for weeks in pain. We had to carry her outside so she could use the bathroom, and now she can't get groomed without crying and panicking the entire time. We can't prove wrong doing on her part because she works alone and unrecorded. What we do know, however, is our dog was hurt, it's wrong, and it cost us several hundred dollars in veterinary expenses. Be cautious when using her services.

My Max was a rescue and had no socialization skills, Anita was very patient with him and helped teach him how to socialize as well as do a great job in grooming him. She’s very patient with the pups from what I saw. Highly recommended and super affordable.

I was appalled when I witnessed Anita abusing my 20-lb Dachshund.When I got near the open back (alley) door, I heard her screaming at a dog, which I didn't immediately know was mine. As I approached the open door, I saw her draw her arm back and hit my Wilson across his face. She then grabbed his back with two hands, raised him in the air, and slammed him down to the table. All this while still screaming at him..Wilson was yelping in fear and pain. I screamed at Anita and demanded my dog. I subsequently contacted Animal Abuse, who came to my home to take a report.I believe she has positive reviews ONLY because she hasn't been caught by those reviewers. I know now why she told me she doesn't allow owners to be present.Joanne Landis, Bear

Made an appointment a week in advance for 8AM I told her I needed my dog done ASAP. Anita ignored my request and groomed other dogs (I was a new customer) before my dog, she was very unprofessional and stated her other customers were more important, I called many times and explained my need to keep am doctors appointment, but she did not care. I would NOT RECOMMEND HER FOR,GROOMING.

So,I took my dog here about 6 months ago to get groomed and she was very nice good customer service. But I did notice that she yelled at the dogs it raise some concern but i didnt think much of it.Then yesterday,I took my dog here to get groomed again and I noticed that she was yelling at the dogs again. It raise some concern. I kept telling my boyfriend that I feel like something is wrong. That I felt like the lady was doing something to my dog and everyone's elses dogs. The last time I was there me and Anitas had long conversations. She did not remember me or my dog. It was if she fell and bumped her head and didn't remember a thing. She was kind of very rude to me and wasn't much for conversation at all! I felt something was wrong because that's not good customer service and a good customer experience if you're dealing with somebody's animal and the fact that she's always yelling at the dogs it raised concern. Also I want to add that my boyfriend and I felt that my dog was acting strange. She's been shaking ever since I picked her up. She's been very clingy like extra clingy. My dog loves me and is clingy anyways but she's extra clingy. So here I am writing this because my boyfriend told me tonight to look up the reviews on her to see if she does abuse the animals and I read some of them and now I see that she does abuse the animals. Just from what people wrote. I really would advise you not to take your animal here anymore. My dog will not be going back! I've been saying since the beginning that I felt like something was wrong something kept telling me and here it was right in my face in the reviews. I just wanna add always trust your instincts because they will tell you if something is wrong. Mine did!

I'm just figuring out how to use this phone and Google . I took a shot on looking some things up and I came across this. I've been taking my dogs to Anita's for around 11 years now and it's been ALL GOOD , advise , service , you don't get that at PETCO or them other places . So as to the few people who wrote the negitiveady , I'll bet the couple of times I've seen a matted up dirty dog in there , It was YOURS !! We'll see ya in 2 weeks Anita

Prices are very reasonable, and the quality of her work is phenomenal. I Highly recommend Anita's Animal Antics. 10 years plus that I've been bringing my pets to this establishment.

I don't have a dog yet but thinking about getting one soon. But as far as grooming, I'm sorry but this place will not be the one. I don't know what to believe but my instincts say no.
