Animal Attraction

I used to like this place. They used to do a good job, but recently, for whatever reason, they have butchered our puppies. Sofia my toy poodle (who several groomers have told us behaves like an angel), was fluffy albeit dirty and a tad matted, came into get her hair trim. When she was returned to us she was completely, and unevenly, shaved. I have never had such a bad experience from any groomer. Sofia has been more matted, yet still was left with more hair than this time. Now my poor baby shivers constantly and I can’t even take her out in public without whispers that she’s «weird looking». I am so disappointed, but more than anything, just plain sad. The only reason I’m not giving them one star is because we called to have them fix her and they said they would free of charge. Truth be told, the only thing that would have helped her case would be a sweater.

Same day appointment right before the holidays? Wow! My «Nervous Nellie» of a dog, Jackson, and his cousin Louie received gentle attention. Great results with the trim, very professional. Other groomers sometimes over-​do it or his «do» comes out uneven. Not this time — we’ll be back! Oh, and the price is right as well — can’t say exactly, but just $ 75.00 for two dogs! AND, they were given Christmas gifts to boot (awesome toys)!

They do a great job with Goldens and Labs. Rich seems really good with the dogs. The only bad thing is they don’t take credit cards.

First time having a dog that required grooming (unexpected to say the least)! Took my Layla Love across the street to Animal Attraction to try and see if they could fit her in late in the day. After a little coercion Nancy, the groomer, agreed to shave Layla like a lion with a mohawk as I requested! Oh what a treat! I’m hoping she calls it the Layla cut! We will definitely be back. She had her done in less than a half hour for just the cut!

easy to book, good care and happy dog

I have been taking my pup to Nancy for years! She’s great with Shi Tzus, since she has one of her own. She treats all the animals with so much love and gives great advice if you have questions about the overall health of your animal.

Nancy is the very best, most kind groomer in town. Her adoration of animals shows in her way with dogs. Please use Nancy

Our kitty got a haircut and a bath yesterday. I’m very happy with it; they clipped her nails and cleaned out her ears too. She feels so soft and clean. We asked for a lion cut, and they did a fabulous job. The cat is now much more hygienic (and hilarious looking). Staff were very courteous and friendly. We plan to start taking her to Animal Attraction regularly, whenever she needs a touch-​up.

i have been taking my poodle there for the last 14 years and have recommended the place to lots of people. Nancy is an amazing lady, who is very gentle and patient. she does an incredible job on our dog, Buddy. the place is easy to find with plenty of parking pleaces and right next to the freeway 5, post office, restaurants, grocery store and a good spa. i get a lot done while i wait for my pooch to get all dolled up for me. Nancy, you are the greatest and thank you for all the years. Buddy loves you very much and doesn’t give me a hard time when I bring him in. for the last few years, he just walks right in by himself without me having to take a leash:)

I’ve been taking my animals (dogs) to Animal Attraction for over 22 years. That’s 5 different dogs, not including our current one (Posey). Most of them have been poodles and she has done a terrific job. She was recommended with our first rescue (Eddie) as he was very fearful of everything and had to be muzzled. Over the years Eddie warmed up and she felt he would be fine without the muzzle. I have not met a groomer who works with you on your dogs needs. We had one toy poodle (Buffy) who had an immune problem, I asked that she be done immediately upon bringing her in (made the appointment a head of time to arrange this), she was more than happy to do this for the next 4 years for her.
I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs their dogs groomed (she does cats too). It very convenient and easy to make an appointment and it usually takes about 2 hours depending on the dog.
Not open Sunday and Monday.

Nancy & Rich are great. My dogs LOVE their spa days. Been going to them for over 10 years — never had an issue!

Nancy does a wonderful job, and I always enjoy seeing her. I know that my dogs will be treated well and feel the least possible stress.
My dogs get“quickies”, which includes, nails, ears, wash and glands. The come out clean and happy.
She has a convenient location and ample parking.

They did a great job giving my cat the lion cut!

This spot has become my #1 place to take Skippy, my yorkshire terrier! Nancy does a great job with the cuts, and I realize this may sound unusual but it’s so convenient that they also do the gland expression (which in and of itself can cost up to $ 20 at Petsmart). Setting up appointments is a little different in the sense that you call and set it up by leaving a voicemail and you assume you have the slot unless notified otherwise, but I have not yet had any problems to date. :)

I have been taking my dog to PetSmart for grooming for the last 2 years, but it always seemed like we got a different groomer. Sometime, I swear, I did not even recognize my own dog. Finally I decided to give this shop a try. The Puppy Princess looks (and smells) beautiful. She even has pretty bows. And it is cheaper than PetSmart! Will be going back, for sure.

I think I was just spoiled by Lindsay at Spawtlight.
I took two dogs there — Boyfriend’s husky (Denali) and my little Dachshund-​Chihuahua rescue (Nico). Denali is a good-​natured dog and gets along with everybody and every situation. Nico, on the other hand, has a bit of stranger anxiety with people. He doesn’t bark or bite or be aggressive in any way, but he does quiver in fear (it’s his Chihuahua side). However, he has no problem interacting with people/​dogs in dog-​friendly environments such as pet stores, dog parks, groomers, etc. He warms up as soon as he steps foot in the door.
Now, with this said — I took Denali to get groomed and Nico to get his nails trimmed. The woman — I’m assuming was Nancy — who was trimming Nico’s nails was NOT friendly or warm towards Nico. She didn’t warm him up to the strange, big equipment (the table + nail file machine) and she certainly did not give him a little bit of time to adjust. She literally plopped him on the counter, forced his paw forward towards her, and proceeded to just file them away. Yes, she got the job done in 5 minutes, but my dog is now absolutely fearful of handing over his paw for extended periods of time. He didn’t mind that I touched his paw, held his paw for a while, or did anything really to his paw, but after taking him to Animal Attraction, he refuses to let me hold his paw for more than a second.
Denali’s groom — got the job done. Traces of dirt on her hind legs, on her face (but face is more forgivable b/​c it’s a delicate area). Lindsay at Spawtlight did so much better for the same price.
Never coming back here again.

The owners offer only a few appointments a day and you can reserve a spot easily over the phone. Should they not pick up, leave a message with you preferred day and time and unless they call you back, assume that spot’s yours.
Drop off your animal, have a few hours to yourself and pick them up. It’s easy.
There’s not much to grooming my dog and I don’t have a stylish look in mind. I just like clean and combed out.
For that, easy service and the pink ribbons they tie on her collar and harness, I am a fan.

WOW — Not Recommended!
My Lhasa looks like a 3^rd grader got a hold of the clippers. I am not exaggerating! My Lhasa has long hair (to the ground) and I asked for his belly and legs to be clipped to help make daily grooming easier. He came back TOTALLY LOP SIDED. On the right hind leg he was shaved up beyond the knee, on the left — to the ankle. On his front legs he had hair under one arm pit but not the other and there were tufts of unclipped areas that should have been shaven. I wish I could post pictures! The line on his chest, where they shaved him, was diagonal.
Nancy indicated that my dog was wiggly — well when I brush him he lays on his side quietly until I’m done .25-.75 hours. I could see how he might not do the same for her but you’re a «professional groomer» aren’t you accustomed to that? It takes about 2 years to grow hair to the ground so you can imagine how upset I am. Thank God the length of the top of his hair, helps to cover the botched job.

I have some of the worst behaved dogs a groomer could ask for and never once has Nancy said anything! She is always so gentle and kind and our dogs look AMAZING each and everytime! This is by far the greatest grooming experience anyone could ever ask for. Very reasonably priced and she gets them in and out in a snap! Fantastic place!

Animal Attraction has always been a little hard to find (buried in a strip mall on Governor), but it is more than worth the effort. Rich and Nancy do a supreme job making my dog look wonderful every visit, and not just that, they have hearts of gold. My dog was a pound puppy, so she is terrified of cages and has a continuous, horribly annoying high pitched Unilocal anytime she is in a cage. Rich and Nancy know that, but they continue to let her come, and always greet us and her with a smile. They often give our dog a toy for Christmas, and they’re always reliable as to their estimate for when our dog will be ready (and usually early, as they want to get her, and her Unilocaling, out the door, haha).
