Fabulous! Trying to write this with an anxious Springer Spaniel pushing my arm off the keyboard!! We have two and only wish we were close to you in Miami. This is a wonderful concept and hope you continue to be more and more success. Will try to visit on our next trip.
Businesses are not allowed to write on public sidewalks like that. What he did is illegal.
JJ is a hustler (in the good sense of the word) and has the BEST selection of dog food in SoFL that I am aware of. They deliver to me…
If you love dog DO NOT use Animal Crackers! I dropped off my dog for a haircut and a shampoo. 2 hour later Animal Crackers and JJ, the owner called me to tell me that my dog can’t stand on his back leg, and he is crying. When I pick him up, he is screaming and crying. I was PISSED! When I asked what happened conveniently no one knew anything, of course. When I brought him home, he could not sit down without crying. I proceeded to take him to the vet that same day. They did an x-ray, and his hip was DISLOCATED! I also noticed his mouth was also bleeding. I called JJ the owner of Animal Crackers and of course he said his whole staff did not know how it happened. I took him to the emergency room to wait 4 hours. The had to put him to sleep to pop his hip back into place. My dog was suffering for 5 months. His back legs were tied together so his hip stayed in place. To this day he still does not walk correctly. I had to visit the emergency room serval times. I noticed something when I took his to his new groomer…he was not afraid to go back a second time. That’s a good sign. Every time I took him back to Animal Crackers before they caused a major injury to my dog he shook and had extreme anxiety. That’s a bad sign.
Stay far away from Animal Crackers if you love your pet!!! ZERO stars!!
