Location is downtown, there is a small parking lot but usually full - has with narrow spots and hard to get into since surround streets are one-way busy streets. I recommend circling and parking on 10th Ave for less of hassle. Fabiola is fabulous! She was so sweet, caring, attentive, and does an amazing job cutting fur. She doesn't rush each grooming and takes her time for a very quality cut. She also has a Pomeranian which made my experience feeling better because she knew exactly how to cut their fur. We even had conversations about Pomeranians and everything about our dog care life. My Pomeranian looks so beautiful and smelt wonderful when I picked her up. I asked for a trim, clean up the buttox area, and do cut the paws (like cat paws). She also knows how Pom fur is suppose to look like and she rounded out all the areas needed AND brought in the fur around the waist to give my Pomeranian a cinched look. For a bath, some treats, nails trim, and fur.cut for $115 - please tip on top, she does a great job. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Kristan was very kind to our lovely pet, was personable & attentive when we spoke on the phone, & was very accommodating with our baby as to having him at their dog day care center.

Passing by I had always seen the two play areas facing the sidewalk but had no idea they had a few more in the back. I like how the dogs can be in the front and people watch out the large windows but also decompress in the back. The kennel area for overnights was also well-kept and organized. Also pleasantly surprised at each dog's locker and the staff's thorough physical checks of each dog and logging of their daily activities. I would say the only thing I had an issue with was logging into the webcam on my phone but seems to work on a computer. Also you can tell they use bleach from the smell but that is a good sign that they keep things sanitary. Other than that my dog seemed to enjoy his time there and we bought one of the packages so we will be back.

The frequent communication gives us peace of mind and helps alleviate any guilt about leaving him, when we see photos of all the fun he is having playing with the other pups! The staff has all been very kind and everyone who works there seems to genuinely love dogs. During a one stay, Finn was a little under the weather and the owner, Eileen, reached out directly to communicate with us about it and followed up repeatedly after Finn was home to make sure he was feeling better. It turned out to be a very minor issue, but I was impressed by the way Eileen & her team handled it. From quickly identifying that Finn was a little off, to promptly informing me about the concern- the experience gave me even more confidence in the level of care & professionalism provided by Pupper Club. But, the best testimonial comes from Finn himself. He was a little nervous & hesitant the first time we went to Pupper Club.

I was pretty disappointed to see many of the same pup toys and supplies that you can find anywhere else, but for a higher price. The outfits they had were cute, but I couldn't justify paying $50 for a shirt (and yes, that's more than I would pay for myself). The woman that was working wasn't very friendly and looked like she would rather jump off a cliff than be there. Not encouraging, but I still decided to buy my pup a cookie. I didn't realize until he couldn't eat it that it was actually rock hard. He tried licking the frosting off, but I don't think he liked it because he barely had any. I was extremely disappointed. You wouldn't serve old/stale food to humans, so why would you do that for pups? Should've gone with my gut and not bought anything from here.

They are two very spoiled girls! A few steps into the store was a big display of homemade (organic, I think) dog cookies. They were made with all natural ingredients such as sweet potato. We picked up two each for the doggos. Two Halloween themed and two ice cream themed, a cone and a bar. When we arrived home the dogs sniffed out the treats right away. Ozzy is a smaller dog with small teeth so we like to break her treats into smaller pieces. Holy crap! The Haloween dog bone cookies were hard as rocks! I had to chop them with a knife and it took some effort! T.J. is a big dog so she had no problem devouring hers. I can't speak to the grooming, but the variety of treats, toys and accessories for pets was impressive. A little on the pricey side, but that is to be expected in this type of bougie pet stor.

Until now, we hadn't had any major issues. Today, we had an appointment specifically for the rabies and parvo vaccines. After we got home, our dog vomited five times in a row. We called the clinic, and they had us come back in, where he was given two more injections to address the side effects. While on the way back, I reviewed the invoice and noticed that four vaccines had been administered, not just the two we had scheduled. When I asked why this wasn't communicated, the response was, "Next time, clarify which vaccines you want when you check in." I had already done that. The appointment was booked for two specific vaccines, and I clearly mentioned both at check-in. I was then told they automatically give all due vaccines unless otherwise instructed. If that's their policy, it was never clearly explained to me and I plan to review our past vaccination records to verify the vaccines were actually due. To top it off, we were charged $82 for the extra shots to counter the side effects caused by their lack of communication, bringing the total cost of today's visit to over $300. This visit left us feeling frustrated and taken advantage of. Lack of transparency, poor communication, and a refusal to take ownership of mistakes cost them our trust and our continued business.

Dr Johnson examined her slowly on the floor, talking to her, introducing herself before jumping straight into prodding and poking.

Especially after visiting a recent vet we didn't like at Poway for 1 thing and being charged $200 more than we paid today despite addressing multiple complaints today. They were also quite transparent with their prices online. I actually liked our vet visit today rather than leaving stressed and dissatisfied.

I'm so glad I found this new vet near me!

Liza, Coral, and April at Aspen's Dog House are absolute gems! They've been incredibly helpful and knowledgeable every time I visit. Liza is a master at dog nutrition; she practically worked magic in helping me figure out the best diet for my pup, Ace. Her passion for what she does shines through in every conversation. April's grooming skills are truly top-notch. You can tell she's been perfecting her craft for over 12 years. She's so dedicated and caring and has helped my dog-training clients look their absolute best. And Coral! She's a joy to be around, always adding that extra touch of fun and warmth to every interaction. I can't emphasize enough how fantastic this place is for grooming, dog nutrition, and all your pet's needs. The team here isn't just knowledgeable; they're genuinely passionate about helping you make the best choices for your furry family member. I highly recommend Aspen's Dog House to anyone with a pup (: read more

The team at Aspen's takes amazing care of my pup! When we first started coming for baths + grooming a year ago, my recently rescued dog was extremely anxious around the grooming equipment + self washes. The team at Aspens was SO patient with her, they took it really slow and let her warm up. They even let us come in a few times without an appointment just for her to sniff around and get comfortable. Now, my dog knows Aspen's by name (like walk, park or treat) and sits by the door whenever we say we are going to go. We both love Aspen's. I won't take her anywhere else! read more

I took my Goldendoodle in for a full grooming, which cost me $130, plus I left a $10 tip. I specifically requested a puppy face, but instead the groomer completely shaved his face and head. He no longer looks like my dog. I have been taking my dog here for number of years but this incident had left me seriously concerned and disappointed in their craft as well as customer service. The quality of the grooming was extremely poor. His coat was cut unevenly across his torso and legs, his ears were trimmed unevenly, and the overall finish looked rushed and unprofessional. To make matters worse, he didn't even seem clean afterward. It honestly felt like he either wasn't bathed at all or was washed with only water, without proper grooming shampoo. What made the experience even more frustrating was the lack of customer service. I called the store manager multiple times and was repeatedly promised a callback that never came. After waiting seven days, I finally reached someone who claimed to be store manager, only to be told that I could bring my dog back to have the grooming "fixed" but I would have to pay again, initially offered 15% discount but later increased to 50%. Charging me another $70 to correct a grooming job that they ruined is completely unreasonable. Since my dog's hair was already cut far too short, I don't even understand how they expected to fix it. This entire experience was frustrating and disappointing. I will never take my dog back to this location, and encourage other dog owners to carefully consider the risk before trusting Dirty Dogs Torrey Hills with their pets.
