Tami's Tender Touch 8841 La Mesa Boulevard, La Mesa, CA 91942

"Reviews are honestly hard to do. You want to be respectful and considerate, but also honest. I personally want people to read a review that, I pen, to see the reality and pure kindness from a particular establishment. Dare I say may be even love? Tami’s Tender Touch is a place I can highly recommend. We have been going here for years and in fact so many years we knew and loved Alice and gosh we loved her smiling face every time we walked in the door. We have had several dogs brought to Tami’s for her tender loving kindness. Two dogs in fact. (Emmi and Lady). Emmi was a 12 lb miniature Doberman pincher and she thought she was a 10’ tall horse weighing in at 356 lbs. Lady on the other hand was a 27 lb Beagle that never howled and was made with angel fairy dust. Tami and her staff watched those two beauties grow up from puppies to elderly pups and then on to heavens green playground. Ok, that was an exaggeration. Everyone knows Emmi is raising Hell and driving Satan literally mad right now. And in fact if we all know Emmi, she’s raising an army of darkness to take over the depths of HELL and once Emmi takes over hell, she will march onto Heaven, earth and then the universe. Right now, Lucifer is pleading with God to “please I’ll do ANYTHING! Just take this demon off my hands!” Of course Lady our beloved Beagle is definitely in heaven looking down at Emmi and hoping for “God sake don’t let that demon Emmi free. The apocalypse of the four horsemen will be released.” After our furry babies were taken from these earthly bounds, it did take a few years to regrow my broken heart and adopt another dog and now I have two dogs again. I don’t say this lightly either. There is a reason why Tami’s has been in business for so long and why I returned to Tami’s with my new furry babies (Maya an 110 lb Anatolian and Sally a 60 lb Catahoula Pit mix). It’s because I know Tami and her staff care for our furry babies, as if they were their own. Maybe something does go wrong (from your perspective), but Tami will go out of her way to try her best to resolve the issue. (remember I’m being honest here), but the fact remains, Tender Touch means something to Tami and her staff. They wash, they cut, trim, pamper, use soap/water, dry them off and do anal gland expression (ok that’s nasty) (please give them extra tip for that, seriously gross), but with all that, Tami and her staff do, you know what I witness? Love! I see them talking to our babies. If your little fur ball is upset and crying, they don’t just yell and curse, no, they talk to them and let them know that it’s ok. Our furry babies attach themselves to us. They learn to trust us. Those little beasts show affection when we don’t deserve it and we intern take care of them with all our hearts. And how amazing is it, right here in La Mesa we have a place that will care for our furry babies with all the tender touch in the world. Yeah I highly recommend Tami’s Tender Touch."

"My mom took her dog there a couple weeks ago and he came back with a cut on his paw. It was bleeding and got swollen and infected. They did not even tell my mom they accidentally cut him. after taking him to the vet and treating him, it didn’t heal until 10 days later. I’ve tried calling 4 times to talk to someone about this and no one has responded."

"I’ve been bringing my dogs to Tami for over 15 years. They’er amazing. Always able to accommodate their needs. They always made their visits less traumatizing. I truly appreciate Tami & her staff. Thank You!"

"The BEST! Careful, patient, and kind with my dogs!. Often works them in last minute when possible. Very accommodating. Professional and very, very affordable. I highly recommend this place!"

"I have been taking Leo, Golden Retriever, here for 10 years. They know how to groom his hair! Not always easy for a long haired dog, but I prefer Leo has shorter hair and they do it right. They have groomers that just focus in Goldens."
