Anchorage, AK Arctic Tails

It's pretty cool actually -- they come to your house and in 45 minutes or so, you've got a freshly groomed pup!The part that really sold me was how open and candid she was about things, and how she seemed to genuinely enjoy working with animals. We have a little shih-tzu who's quite skittish about new people. In shopping for groomers around Anchorage, I've found him cowering and crying when going back to the big-box stores which makes me a bit concerned for his well being and him being left in a cage all day when there. This 100% eliminated that possibility, and he (oddly enough) was excited and all happy after his trim. That sold me for life.Pricing seems to be comparable to the big box stores "out the door" price (not the one they quote you on the phone, as I've always had hidden costs / fees). For what I had done, it was $85.00, which is $10.00 more than most groomers - but you get what you pay for. There was no hassle on my part, no gas to drive him or pickup. The only con I have is the difficulty to contact her, but if I had to guess - I'd attribute that to her work schedule. (I'd imagine it's pretty difficult to answer every phone call when you're trying to detail a dog's fur from a mobile shop by yourself).She returned my first call the following evening to set up an appointment, and is now on a set schedule every 6 weeks for a trim. Highly recommend!!

I really like this establishment. The prices are competitive, and the groomer/owner (?) is fair and honest. I brought my miniature schnauzer in for his first grooming, and every time since he gets very excited when he sees we are going there. The grooming is always great, and I can tell my puppy has been cared for and feels safe there. She has taken my puppy before the normal drop off time to accommodate my schedule, and is always prompt with letting me know when he is ready to be picked up. I usually tip her $20, and hope that anyone who sees her will think of tipping her as much also. Even with her tip I spend less here than I would spend for a lesser job somewhere else. I stand by this establishment, and will continue to take my puppy there.

I have known this groomer for almost 18 years. She is the best dog groomer I have ever had the pleasure to take my babies to. I love my dogs as if they are my children and I know that this groomer treats my babies as if they were her own. She has NEVER mistreated, mishandled or abused any animal! I require my babies to be groomed a certain way and she always complies with my request, even if the cut I want is not the usual cut for the breed. I live in the valley and drive my babies to south anchorage to be groomed by the best, and this groomer is definitely the best. I have and would recommend to all friends and family. Best groomer ever!!

I love Jerry. I have been bringing my dogs to him since 1996. He is absolutely AMAZING!!!! His prices are fair and he does everything for the animals. I recommend him to anyone and everyone. I will not bring my animals to anyone else. Jerry is awesome with the dogs...patient, kind and loving. My dogs love him. They get rally excited as we are driving down the street to his house. They know where we are going and look forward to it. He does such a fantastic dog with my dogs. Once you go to Jerry, i can guarantee that you won't take your pets anywhere else.

Woohoo....always a great job on my Bichon, and recently adopted a toy poodle, which we took yesterday for the first time. EXCELLENT, but I'm not surprised. Great service, great prices...its a win win

Best groomer my dogs and cats have ever known! Pam has done my pets since 2005 and love her! ����������������
