To all you people hating on Chow Bella, Get a life and grow up! Do you people honestly believe that no accident has ever happened at any other pet grooming facility. That is why it is labeled an accident! to that person who is named "m" you need to grow up and get a life you know that?! I have been taking my dog there for YEARS and there has never been an accident! All my friends will tell you the same thing! I met John a few times, he actually has 2 boxers of his own and a cat! He loves animals, believe that! they do great work, and I love them and will defend them till the very end!!!

11,000 to 18,000 dogs done a year over the decades they have been open the accident rate doesn't sound horibly bad. Dog jumping off the table is not that rare in a grooming solan. Sounds like the animal rights wackos are after them. They did petco that way too.

This asshole is obviously just in this bussiness for the cash and doesnt care about animals at all. How do you bringa cat in for a tooth brush and the fucker comes out all bloody and in shock? Fuck that, close it down valley people. Fuckin' valley.

It is great to see LAist take on community reporting: it is too easy for the LAT and other traditional media venues to overlook issues like this. I am glad to see one of Los Angeles' top blogs take up the slack. Thanks LAist and thanks Jeremy.

Revoking their zoning variance is a start, but it isn't enough. This place needs to be put out of business, and that means telling every pet owner you know not to do business with them, and telling the owners of Chow Bella that we aren't going to let them continue with this bullshit. There is no excuse for abusing animals, and these sick fucks have caused a lot of people pain.
