Great service, reasonable rates. Bill is excellent with the dogs. They handle trimming my pugs nails with care.

Wish I could give negative stars. I called over a week ago to see what times were available. He said he didn't "do" appointments, but I asked what was the latest I could come in since I get off at 5:30p. He agreed and asked for my dog's name. I told him "I'll see you shortly after 5:30p" l. We got here at said time and he was not here nor answering the phone. We wasted a week! I could gave literally anywhere else. I knew it was a red flat when he said he didn't "do" appointments. If he didn't want my business then he shouldn't have agreed to a time. And I am 1000% I didn't mis-hear him as he was on speaker and my husband and I both heard the same thing. read more

Great no frills grooming with a personal touch. I have a particularly fearful dog who is scared to walk on a busy street but actually is excited to go to the groomers thanks to Bill's calm and caring demeanor. Easy to get an appointment as long as you call a week or so in advance and my pup always comes out looking and feeling great. Bill took extra care to tell me as a new customer to come early to make sure that my shy guy is first out to minimize stress. Really happy this place is local and hope it stays around for years to come! read more

This owner is rude, the place smells disgusting, the dogs come back petrified, and they don't answer the phone. Highly advise against.

Bill is a great groomer, he works his magic and provides the lion cut for my cat Igor. I highly recommend that you book your pets next grooming session with Bill. read more

Brought our two cats for a bath. Wonderful and caring place to trust with your pets! Personable and knowledgeable.

Bill is great with dogs and their grooming needs. He is also very responsive. Our little guy visits monthly.

Bill has been taking care of our dogs and cat for years. He does a great job for a reasonable price and our dogs are happy to go there. No hesitation at all so I know they're being treated well. Can't recommend him highly enough. Suggest you try him for yourself. Then I'll be seeing your recommendation here. read more

Just brought my dog in today to get his nails clipped (per recommendation from the local Redondo Facebook group). The owner was very nice, was able to take my dog right away. He was very gentle and comforting to my dog who is not a fan of getting his nails done. He didn't yelp once! (My dog, not the owner). Will definitely keep bringing my dog here for his "manicures!" read more

This groomer is the best service I've found for my dog since I moved here in 2018! It's within walking distance of my house. The owner (and groomers) are friendly and more importantly KNOW and LOVE dogs. The prices are extremely reasonable. Definitely get an appointment at least a week in advance for Saturdays and a few days in advance for the weekdays. He fills up quickly! And bring CASH he doesn't accept any form of electronic payment; that's the downside. read more

A Canine Castle - Pet Groomers Near Me - Redondo Beach, California

I have taken 3 dogs 2 poodles and a Wiener dog to these guys for over 15 years. Since my original dog groomer retired. I have been treated with the feeling of family coming here with my own dogs and other friends dogs. Followed them thru 3 relocations and finally one spitting distance from my house. Quality an consistency here. read more

One of the few groomers that does Cats! Pricing is fair and they truly love Cats & Dogs! If you just need a quick nail trim, give em a call and if they have the time they possibly can see your baby the same day. read more

Our cat has really long fur which we love, but our family always has to watch out for her dingleberries. So whether she gets a haircut for that reason or it's a hot summer my Mom found Canine Castle through Yelp and we've been coming here ever since. Bill is really sweet, trusting, and great with animals. Just tell him what you'd like and he'll make it happen. Parking was also a breeze. You don't have to worry yourself over finding street parking, they have their own space in the back. If you're going West down Artesia, once you pass Slauson LN turn right into the first driveway opening and you'll find plenty of parking spaces to choose from. ***Also just a reminder they don't take credit card transactions, only cash or checks. read more

Came in with my Goldendoodle puppy and 3 year old YorkiePoo and had a wonderful experience . Bill was very talented both in the art of grooming and making my dogs feel welcomed . He's clearly had year of experience with different temperaments .I've never seen their coats this shiny and clean . I will definitely be coming back . I do recommend booking ahead of time :) read more

Not sure how this place stays in business. Owner seems like a nice guy but clearly can't run a business. Had an appointment over a month in advance. Brought in our dog early morning and was told we had the wrong day, brought back our dog the day they said and was told we actually were supposed to come the day before. No attempt to help with the situation because we were "already upset". Terrible customer service. Adding a line after seeing the owner response. That was not the conversation we had at all. I called to see if there was something he could do to fit us in since we waited over a month for the appointment. My husband did not give the wrong name, we have come to this groomer previously. The owner did not take responsibility and was actually very rude and condescending when speaking with me. You will probably already be able to tell by the response. Other reviews mention similar accounts. Really glad we found this out sooner rather than later. read more

Bill took care of our Molly for 10 years. She started with him as a timid scared pup but he worked his magic and had her wagging her tail entering the shop on grooming days! She always got so many compliments about her style. Sadly, we lost her a year ago and received a call from Bill sharing how much they missed her too. We finally adopted another rescue who also had serious grooming anxiety. Bill met Koya and suggested a series of training sessions to introduce and desensitize him to the grooming process before he tries to do a full grooming. We have faith that Bill will work his magic again and wouldn't trust our dogs to anyone else!! read more

I love Canine Castle! I have been coming to Canine Castle for two years! I love Bill! He is a dog whisperer!! My mini schnauzer has a bit of anxiety. She adores the staff at Canine Castle! Professional, patient and compassionate. Bill really has a passion for grooming and what's best for your pet! I was recommended by my friend that has been using Canine Castle for 20 years. Canine Castle does a great Schnauzer cut! Plenty of parking in (back parking lot) next to post office. Make sure when you call for an appointment you give yourself time. So worth it! They are very popular! read more

Awesome. Gave my doodle puppy his first face and tush trim. And a few puppy pointers which were Verma much needed. Definitely will be going back! Super easy and fast. Called and came in the next day. read more

Very happy with Canine Castle. It was our first time and the owner/groomer was very personable, attentive and seemed to also take a lot of interest in our dogs too. They smell clean and look great. He shared grooming and ear care info that I wasn't aware of and you. He spends time talking to you even though he is busy and has a full day of customers. He is reasonably priced and seems to have a number of repeat and loyal customers. We will be going back! read more

Bill's passion, love and care for all dogs makes a huge difference in this place. I'm thankful for your wonderful service and your professionalism. My dog loves you guys! read more

Bill is the BEST. I only started getting my Pomeranian groomed last year... and she is terrified of strangers so it was important for me to find someone who could understand that and work through this with her. Bill is that guy, and does exactly what I ask of him, and Boo Bear always come out happy and fresh with a silky brushed coat! Thanks Bill! read more

The personal touch with both the customer and the pet. No better place to go in the South Bay

Bill is the best. I took my new shelter dog to him and he explained to me how to care for my dogs nails.

Owner is a dog-whisperer! He took my high strung dog who is prone to biting and worked his magic without a muzzle (whereas most groomers we've visited in the past have muzzled him). My dog came home and was all relaxed and clean and it was like magic. Cannot recommend enough!!! read more

Bill has always taken such impeccable care of my fur babies over the years! Thank you Bill and team for your kindness and care!

Great price. Great results. Our labradoodle was happy and well-groomed. Owner seems to be very experienced.

Bill the owner was really nice during the visit. Although I didn't get any service that day，he helped me in understanding more about my pet. I will come back and hopefully get some service once my puppy is old en read more

Brought my rescue dog in for nail trimming. It was done quickly and efficiently, he did a great job. And my normally skiddish dog was very relaxed. Great experience! read more

I have a nine month old Rat Terrier who is very high strung and aggressive when anyone tries to touch her paws in order to cut her nails. I knew that I was going to have to find someone who would accept her skittish behavior so I began to research groomers in my area. When I read the great reviews on Yelp regarding Bill's ability to handle dogs that hate getting their nails trimmed, I called the number for Canine Castle and was able to get an appointment immediately. The Canine Castle is conveniently located right next door to the post office on Artesia Blvd and parking was a breeze in the rear of the building. Bill greeted me as I entered the establishment, and took the time to help me through the process with how to handle my dog and how not to talk to her while he was getting her acquainted with him. He must be a dog whisperer, because he was able to handle her and speak to her in a commanding way. He was so patient and calm with her during the entire process. I'm not going to lie to you; my dog was out of control when we first arrived there. She was scared to death, as this was her first time ever getting her nails clipped other than when she went to the vet to receive her shots. Bill is a professional and he was able to handle anything that she threw his way. Her nails were finished in no time at all. I was very impressed and I highly recommend Canine Castle to anyone who has had anxiety about trimming their dogs nails. read more

Bill is the best! He's so gentle and accommodating to my 14 yr old, 55lb baby! Thank you so much Bill, you've made this last year in the South Bay so easy to get her nails trimmed. I will forever recommend you to all of our friends and neighbors:) read more

I am impressed with Bill calming down my dog to get her nails clipped. My dog is terrified and Bill is able to finish the job. We will definitely come back. Highly recommended. read more

I have waited several months to post this review. This is the worst dog groomer I have ever been to. I brought my beautiful male Pom in for a teddy bear cut. We went over exactly what I wanted and the length. When I picked my 11 year old dog up who went in with beautiful long hair, he was shaved completely bald. He looked like a hairless cat. Bill told he he had to shave him that short because I didn't brush him on a regular basis. My Pom has very silky hair and does not mat like other Poms. In my dogs whole life I take him to the groomer every month and NEVER EVER has he needed to be shaved this way. I was new to the area and this place was recommended. It is now all most 3 months later. My dogs hair has never grown back. I have consulted my regular groomer in another state and my dogs veterinarian. Because of what Bill did in his laziness to make a buck and not actually groom a dog. My dogs hair will never grow back. This is the dirtiest shop I have ever been in. The place reeks of cat urine. It looks like it is never swept or cleaned. And they have some sort of pen area set up for a small child.... Not sure what is going on there maybe day care?? Please please please do not ever take your dog to this place. They are dirty lazy and uncaring. Signed Devistated read more

Our rescue group, The Peter Zippi Memorial Fund in Hermosa Beach, rescued a badly matted medium-long hair cat. Early on a Saturday morning, at the suggestion of our volunteers who is a happy client here, a call was made, and Bill helped the cat right away. He was gentle, and very good with the cat, and was able to remove the mats with a minimum amount of shaving. The cat was not stressed, and relieved of a painful situation. We are sincerely grateful to Bill for helping make a whole new life begin for one lucky cat. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. I can see why this grooming place has loyal followers. I can also see why there are some negative reviews. I forget her name.. but the main groomer.. shes REALLY GOOD at what she does. Definitely knows how to groom, and it shows through on the dog. One of the best grooms that our dog has received. However... the groomer isn't the nicest.. I've called a couple times for information.. and it's been a hit or miss.. I guess depending on the time you call.. and how her day is going you'll either get a nice person on the phone or a short snappish person.... (everyone's human right..?) This place does get booked quick.. and they don't take in walk-ins. So booking an appt 1.5-2 weeks in advance is important. First thoughts as I walked in.. I dropped off the dog shortly after 8am on a Saturday. The place smelled of urine, they have a makeshift gated area for what appears to be a child's play area (for her own child) not far from the grooming table... (which I thought was a little weird, but hey.. whatever works & to each there own) As we dropped her off, our normal excited to see everyone 1.5 yr old dog was afraid to go in. (this I thought was a little odd.. she's never been afraid of anyone) Fast forward to pick up time- The urine smell wasn't present upon picking up our dog 5 hrs later. Charge was $45 for a cut, ears were cleaned and nails were cut (a plus!) BUT.. upon returning home and checking out our dogs cut.. I noticed a 1" clean cut on her inner thigh... which was not mentioned to us when we picked her up. THIS.. is the main reason we will not be returning. We will be returning to Pink Pucci.. which is a little out of our way distance wise.... however we've always been treated nicely over the phone and in person.. and most importantly our dog loves going there.. and looks great each time she walks out. Pros- Great cut, decently priced Cons- lacks customer service, needs to be booked 1.5-2 weeks ahead. (Really would've appreciated if the groomer mentioned she accidentally cut our dog..when we picked her up and not finding it on our own) read more

How is this place rated so high? I took my two dogs here, and this did adequate cuts. Nothing particularly great. And i was not in love with the people I dealt with. But it got worse. Both my dogs came home with flees. This is absolutely unacceptable. read more

I had a seriously horrible flea infestation a few months ago, and finally had to make an appointment to get my place treated, which meant I had to take the cats somewhere for the day. In comes Canine Castle! I called around to a bunch of places in the South Bay, trying to find somewhere that did flea baths for cats. Canine Castle informed me that they did, and I brought my two cats plus my dad's cat in early on a Saturday morning. So that's THREE cats that were plagued with fleas in need of flea baths and grooming. It was $45/cat, and Canine Castle was kind enough to hold onto all the cats until well into the afternoon when it was safe for me to bring them back home. The cats smelled great, their fur was soft and luxurious, and the best part was they were flealess!!! And have been since then. The owner was super friendly and chatty too, it's made me want to take my cats there for grooming every now and then just because of the great service and how clean and soft the cats were! read more
