We've been taking our fur baby here since her very first groom -- she's 3 now!! We LOVE Veronica and her team. They always show a very high level of care for our fur baby and go above and beyond to provide great service. 10/10 would recommend!! read more

Zero stars would be given if possible. The owner, Veronica is as rude and disrespectful as they come. Our first grooming cost $145 for my little Pomeranian. We just moved here. She was a bit overgrown as her last groomer broke her arm. I contacted Veronica about the groom looking messy and overgrown after 2 weeks and requested the cut shorter. She shared my concern with her groomer making me look bad. Then she contacted me today about canceling my next appointment next week because she had another client who wanted that time slot. I confirmed I wanted the groom and asked again for a shorter "puppy" cut. She called me and declined service claiming it's not healthy for the dogs coat or skin and refused to cut any shorter. I explained I've been grooming my dogs for 18+ years and I know what is good for my dog. I didn't appreciate being schooled or scolded by this rude, condescending person. She then Canceled my appointment despite my advising I would leave a review about my experience on YELP. Also please note that the mobile grooming van is shabby, old and decrepit. I noticed many negative reviews about Veronica. She is NOT LICENSED and not kind at all. Very disrespectful, nasty girl. AVOID THIS GROOMER AT ALL COSTS!!! read more

I absolutely love bringing my boys to Amber Z at alpha grooming! She's been grooming my pups for years and I live all the way in Palm Springs but I will always make the drive because she is the best. My boys literally fall asleep when she grooms them! Haha they come out looking (and smelling) amazing everytime! Definitely book with her! read more

Amber is such an amazing groomer. I fully trust her with my dog Gg! She is a senior dog and Amber always takes care of her with special care. There's no one I trust more than her. Her grooming skills are spectacular and always does an amazing job. read more

10/10 best dog grooming salon in the valley. They take amazing care of both my pups! They respect not only my dog's needs but mine as well. Thanks Alpha Grooming! read more

***To make things short; Jacqui is the best groomer we have ever used and Alpha is a great salon, clean, professional etc.*** We (my hubby and I ) have never found anyone up to par with her. As she is an amazing doggie stylist. She has never disappointed us. Our boy Ozzie is a little tough to groom because he's so excited about everything around him, but she made him look perfect as always with all of our dogs.. She is a consummate professional and everything you could ask for in a groomer, and an employee. Thank you Jacqui! And thank you Alpha groomers! read more

My experice with Alpha Grooming was horrible. The owner Veronica is completely lacking in customer care and communication. She is rude and uncaring about clients and their pets. She should be put out of business. She treats clients with disrespect and is unable to carry on a normal conversation regarding services. She can't keep groomers and pets are not clean and well groomed. Stay away from this person and facility. Not reputable. read more

Our English Setters have been getting groomed by Jacqui for over three years and she is an absolutely talented groomer and I know adores our boys. Both our boys Garwood (12 years) and Brophy (4 years) each have unique grooming needs and Jacqui expertly addresses them all and they leave looking amazing! Our older gentleman Garwood is not a fan of a bath, but when he sees Jacqui his tail is wagging and both boys run back with her, that says a lot about the care and love she gives them. read more

This was my first visit to Alpha but I have been using Jacqui for a few years now and she is the very best groomer we have ever had. W have always had Bichon or poodle kind of dogs so they require extra attention when being groomed. Jacqui is an artist when it comes to grooming. I highly recommend her. read more

The best dog groomer ever! This is only place that I've ever trusted with my Pomeranian Han. The only reason why I can no longer go here is due to moving or I'd go back in a heartbeat. Honestly the best place I've ever been to. Highly recommend. read more

Great people! Awesome service!!! Now I don't normally take my dogs to groomers, but I've been blessed and it's time to let some professionals help out where I've been slacking. My three dogs grew up in the desert with desert landscape. A veteran Sheppard mix, a middle aged fat chihuahua, and a rookie K-9 Rocket! They where pretty darn dirty, and there is no way in ... I'm taking them on a road trip all dirty and snag claws. ( hotel fees can get pricy) Veronica offered her quik service. She was detailed on getting info on the dogs, age, size, and grooming experience. A quik deposit via Zelle and confirmation right after, followed by a confirmation the day before. The day of, Veronica and I both where cautiously having meet and greet and cleared some data that was not emphasized ( my veteran dog is huge, cane corso like) and her eyes grew as she saw his size and realized he was huge, not large, but as a buisness person, I understand the miscommunication, and I immediately let her know I was aware and already taken that small thing into account. Nonetheless, Veronica and her colleagues swiftly went to work on my dogs. Veronica explained how it was gonna be a few hours ( I thought it was gonna be days how dirty my dogs where) then asked me where I lived so she could give me a heads up when it would be time to pick up the gang. As promised, she called and also informed that she would like my assistance with OneEyedWilly ( a fluffy lovable Cujo. I had neglected him and he wasn't having it) clipping his nails. After OneEyedWillie and I had a few shots of tequila, he finally came around and let her do her thing. I have to say.... HFS!!! Who's dogs are these!?!? So clean!! So soft!!! So fluffy!!! I must have rubbed my face against their coat so much they started wondering wtf, Dan!?!? Veronica and her colleagues did a fantastic job. Again she went over in detail with the fees, and I was totally cool with. Are you kidding me?! They came out looking great!!! Anyways, give Veronica and her colleagues a call. They won't disappoint and your dogs will love you even more with their services! Thank you ladies!!!! read more

The absolute BEST there is!! No one does our doodles better!! And our dogs LOVE going in for their weekly SPA day!!!!!!!

Bentley the Havanese has been going to Amber Z for two years. He loves seeing Amber and letting her pamper him. Amber is gentle, sweet, and one of the best groomers. I'll continue to book with Amber. read more

They fixed up my new rescue when I brought him home and did a great job with taming and cutting his long shihtzu hair to a puppy cut. They are friendly and easy to work with. I will use again! Cash is preferred by the groomers but not necessary. :) Located back by the tattoo shop at end of Fred Waring on right read more

Service is professional and Jinx is always excited for his grooming. Alpha takes such great care and you can tell they genuinely love their animals and what they do. Highly recommend! read more

Buyer beware! I have no complaint about the groomer even though she was late. I am not one to waste my time leaving negative reviews but this situation was appalling and hopefully will warn others. The owner is disreputable, dishonest and a thief. I had my dog groomed there one time and booked 6 mos of appointments in advance every month as I have my dog groomed every 4wks. After the appointment I started receiving emails requesting me to sign a contract that requested personal information that was not required by law. These emails continued. I spoke to the owner who was extremely rude and told her to cancel all my future appointments that I had scheduled in advance for every 4 wks. She then charged my credit card $42.00 saying I called less than 48 hrs before the next appointment which wasn't even till the next week. When the charge appeared on my card I called and disputed the charges. After investigating the charge was considered invalid and removed. This business is not licensed with the Better Business Bureau but I was able to lodge a complaint. Do not trust this establishment. read more

Can I say just wow!!! I'm so happy with their job on Prada. Verónica accommodate an appointment for my baby right away with their mobile service and Charles did an amazing job with Prada. She never looked better and her paws look amazing after the balm and treatment. Charles took a picture of Prada after the service and she looks so happy. I am definitely using their services again and I recommend them to anyone in need of a good groomer. Happy customer read more

Great groomer! My two elderly dogs are quite a handful but the team at Alpha always take good care of them. My youngest, the min pin, has never smelled so good in his life! Hahaha! read more

The coolest pet business in the desert. The first time I took my fur babies in, they were embarrassingly matted. I thought they'd need shaving for sure. A few hours later, they came out shiny, happy puppies. Easy access & parking (right next to Angel View in Palm Desert). I'm grateful to have found these great groomers. Highly recommend. read more

Excellence all round. Attention to breed specifics, customer desires and they work well with their animal clients. Highly recommended.

They are AMAZING! Our pup gets so excited to get groomed and he isn't easy. They are kind to animals and they don't stress the dogs out. Our boy always looks so handsome and he smells fantastic! Give them a call, you won't regret it. read more

Can I just say, wow! I have a 10 year old high energy German Shepherd with crazy sensitive skin. Veronica took the absolute best care of her, using her best shampoo for my little lady's needs. My baby girl left feeling like a princess. I am one happy momma and look forward to returning. Thank you!! read more

I have never been so enthusiastic after a grooming appointment!! I had my pitsky and maltipoo done at their new shop(which is amazing inside) They both had the Spa Groom Treatment and they came out smelling and looking amazing. My pitsky looks so much lighter without all of that hair piled up on her and my maltipoo looks ADORABLE!!! Veronica is amazing and you can tell my dogs enjoyed themselves, as if they were at an actual spa! If you want to make sure your dogs are in good hands, do not hesitate to book them here :) read more

Veronica grooms our dogs weekly and they have never looked better. She is truly gifted at her craft and she couldn't be more kind to us and our pets. the level of care is second to none. I don't believe you will find a more qualified groomer out there. read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would!!! Not only did Veronica accommodate my last minute request, but I have never been so pleased with the quality and personal touch and friendLu experience we had!! read more

I bring my shy, nervous 50lb mix to Alpha Grooming and they are so good with her. Veronica is awesome and takes the time to let the dogs get comfortable first. Ana is so good with all dogs, and they always love her by the end of the groom. And both bathers/future groomers they have are hard working and great with all the pups. I highly recommend them to everyone I meet. Definitely the best groomers in the valley! read more

I wish I could give this place no stars. We have Standard poodle approx 48 lbs. we request a puppy cut on him. This is the 2nd time we have used this groomer. I'll start with the first thing, very unprofessional. When you call to make an appointment they are very short with you, and act like you're an inconvenience to them when you request a poodle grooming session. So we drop our almost 8 month old standard poodle off, requested ear trimming and anal gland extraction (they don't even offer anal gland maintenance). They call us within 20 mins and tell us he's matted in 2 areas and that is an extra $40 off the top. This poodle groomer today only accepted cash. $130 is the Baseline for poodle grooming...again a 48 lbs poodle. So now I'm at $170. When we pick him up I can Instantly see that he has a gouge in his eyebrow area. They completely shaved his eyes, Butchered his muzzle and another shaving gouge on his leg area. I get that poodles are a difficult breed to groom but what they did to my dog was unacceptable especially at $170. It's terrifying that they advertise grooming poodles but it's clear they do not know how. Now, I've been to many groomers across TEXAS and California after having a standard poodle for 10 years. This is by far the worse experience and at the price point. read more

Great service, convenient and reliable! I've been using Alpha Dog Mobile Grooming service for a year now. They are reliable and friendly. My dogs always look amazing and smell great after. Good prices and great service you can't go wrong. read more

Well, they must be too busy to return a simple text. Maybe they are so good that they don't need new clients? I called last Tuesday to set an appointment. The response was we are booked all the way out until the second week of December. So again I texted and sent photos of our two, 10 pound dogs, and said go ahead and book me for the second week of December. No response and it's Monday. A simple response would have taken 2 seconds. I get my dogs a spa day every 5 weeks. I'm new to the area and trying to find a regular groomer. read more

Wow! We are so impressed to find such a skilled, loving and professional groomer! On our first appointment, our labradoodle entered looking like a sheep and left looking like a show dog! Communication was excellent throughout the whole process - easy scheduling, quick grooming, and he didn't need to stay too long (and it is cage less)! Not only does he look great, but he was safe, comfortable and in loving hands, and that matters most. Thank you Veronica & Alpha Grooming, can't wait to come back soon! read more

The best the best. My dog was happy, her cut was so good , very clean environment. No cages I recommend my family and friends to her

Brought my Aussie puppy for a nail trim and loved how kind the owners were with him. They made him feel comfortable, offered him treats and were very patient when handling his paws. We're coming back for his first grooming experience and am confident they will do an amazing job after watching how well they treated him for his first visit. They also have crystals, plants and other goodies in the shop which support small businesses in the valley! read more

Our groomer was fantastic. He spent SO much time with our boy and was so understanding that he needed to wear a muzzle. By the end of the grooming session not only was my dog gorgeous and clean but he also had a new friend. It was absolutely worth it!!! My only comment would be next time to trim the paw pad hair because he slips on the floor but I will remember to ask next time. THANK YOU FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL SERVICE! EDIT: I forgot to add that Charles even showed up early for our appointment! I mean what more could I ask for!! We will absolutely be regular customers now read more

Nice owner, great groomer in a funky and thank goodness no frills clean shop. My Shih Tzu got a professional first class shampoo and haircut The laid back atmosphere made him very relaxed during the whole process. He looked so handsome. He was turning heads all day! read more
