Best in Show has been grooming our dog Arlo for well over a year now and has been doing a phenomenal job. I have somewhat of an erratic work schedule and have either had to cancel somewhat last minute or, reschedule or , check to see if I could get in sooner that what was scheduled due to work travel. Every time, they have been graciously accommodating! Arlo knows exactly where we are going and get excited once he realizes where he is at and gets anxious to get behind the half door once inside- that has to tell you something about how well and kindly they treat our animals when we leave them there! read more

Best Groomers in the Coachella Valley. Melissa Bennett does the grooming for my two Aussiedoodles. She does a marvelous job.

I brought my one year old Yorkie there yesterday to get groomed. I asked her to trim his face and just lightly trim his body. She said she would but when I picked him up his entire body was shaved! I was so shocked and asked why she cut him so short. She said he was very uneven and it was all she could do. I think she should have called me before doing that because I would have told her NO! There was nothing I could do. I'm so disappointed in how he turned out. I would never go back and I would never recommend anyone to go there. read more

We just moved to the Desert and our dear Cocker was in need of a Covid hair cut. We found BestIn Show, and had a perfect experience for him and us! He is touchy about his pays and the dryer and we let them know. They were great on all the touches we like for him and kept in communication with us for the time he was in their care. We will be coming here for sure; thanks! read more

Tina I don't think you truly remember grooming Beau. You chopped off his mustache and his tail. It was the worst grooming he has ever had! If you want to keep arguing about this, then we can but that certainly wouldn't be very good PR for your business. read more

My mom and I took our chihuahua for a bath because he was just old and oily. She went back 2 hours later to pick him up. She paid $50 and got him back the same way she dropped him off -but brushed. Still stinky & oily. Won't go back and I'm not taking my yorkie there either read more

We recently moved to La Quinta and I basically found this place on Google maps. Our wired haired terrior Pepper has never looked so good. Gabriella did an excellent job. I recommend Best in Show highly. read more

I'm way overdue in writing this. I was a huge fan of Tinas. One day I was supposed to drop the girls off and there was a work crew working with the floor torn up and asbestos showing in the inner wall. They were doing a remodel which was great. However, Tina was not there and I could not wait any longer. I did not feel comfortable leaving my dogs there with workers. I left. She was furious with me and told me I was no longer welcome. I was polite, and never lost my cool, but I was hurt and angry all at the same time. It was very strange because I thought we had a good relationship. I wish her the best, but that is not a way to treat loyal customers. read more

With pet grooming salons closed due to COVID, my pup desperately need a good haircut. They did an awesome job! Salon followed all Covid-19 procedures. read more

I had an amazing experience here. I have nothing but good things to say. My dog was groomed and looked super cute - he even got a little bandanna. Tina and her team were more than considerate, my dog is very nervous and old and (I am very nervous) and they treated us with the upmost care. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this business! read more

We absolutely love it here and Rosemary is the absolute best!! She has been grooming our Goldendoodle pup for the last ~5 months and has done such an amazing job with him! He is a puppy and is pretty difficult when it comes to grooming, but she has been so patient with him and really takes her time to make sure he isn't scarred from the process. She does what is best for him and always has the best recommendations for getting rid of any matts without taking off too much of his doodle "fluff". Our guy always looks great when we bring him home and I can't wait to schedule our next visit. I can't recommend this place more! read more

My husband and I are in process of moving to Palm Springs, are staying at an Airbnb, and have had lots of stress moving and driving with our dogs. Our Bichon, Marilyn was looking pretty rough, so I called several places and mobile groomers, but Tina was the first out of only two that responded. I'm so happy she did! Tina took the time to hear about Marilyns "issues," the process was easy, but the best part is that Marilyn looks like the super model that she is, plus she wasn't too stressed out! A great find! I will bring all my dogs to her. Highly recommended! read more

The problem is they cage the dogs and they cannot give you an accurate time to pick up your dog. If your appointment is at 10:00 your dog will be barking and caged and crying til 5:00. They take on too many dogs and have scheduling issues. I had taken my dog to be groomed ..you can only drop off outside so you can't go inside and see or hear what's going on . You cannot go in because of covid, so after hearing my dog crying in the background over the phone after hours of being locked up and Tina still had not groomed my dog I said I will go get him now . I was so upset that she did not call hours before to say she could not groom my dog . His appointment was at 10:00 .. I called at 4;00 ? Why is it taking so long ? Tina the groomer claimed my mellow ,Sweet, loving dog should be sedated! My dog was traumatized from not being let out to go potty.as soon as I picked him up he had to go . Of course he was crying . I will never take my dog there ever and have told my friends about what goes on there . He now goes to the best groomer Margaret . His appointment is at 10:00 for example he's ready by 11:15 . They Tex you , accurate . No cages . Never has she said my dog needed to be sedated ! read more

Melissa is the world's best groomer. She always knows just how to trim his beautiful Pomeranian coat so that he will look his best and feel comfortable in summer months when temps rise over 100 degrees here in La Quinta as well as in winter months when the weather is perfect! This photo shows him in his new summer cut. Best in Show Grooming has friendly staff who love dogs, and the salon is always pristine. Thank you Melissa for keeping our little Elvis always looking his best! read more

What a wonderful grooming my little man just got--it amuses me that the name of the shop is "Best In Show" & it sure looks like that! Thank you Tina (owner) for doing such a great job with my ChiPoo! He looks perfect! read more

Very happy they were able to squeeze my 3 month Dobie puppy in to get a nail trim. This big baby finally had her last set of shots so that meant I could finally take her out. She had been accidentally scratching me for at least a week, so I was very relieved they answered my call and were able to get me in same day. They had great customer service and definitely made an impression; as my easily scared fur baby came out calm and happy, she even wanted to go back inside as we were walking away. Although she didn't get pampered this time with a bath I definitely feel confident leaving her in their care as her reactions speaks great volumes. ( they also gave her a 4th of July bow, which was just even more icing on the cake) read more

Best In Show Grooming - Happy puppy with cute bow - Pet Groomers Near Me - Indio, California

My mom has been taking her dog, pup pup, to Tina for years. I take my dog, Willie, to her too. She is AMAZING. It's very hard to leave your pet somewhere for half a day not knowing what is going on. You hear so many horror stories with groomers. Let me assure you that Tina is NOT like this! She is absolutely the best! Her salon is inviting, impeccably clean, and she's always so happy to see our pups. She does such a wonderful job EVERY SINGLE TIME. I have never had any doubt that pup pup and Willie aren't being taken cared for. I wouldn't go anywhere else. This is the place to go! read more

Made an appointment for an express grooming. They told me they can not quote me a price unless they see the dog first, which is understandable. My baby was finished in 90 minutes and she did a nice job on my Portuguese Water Dog. I was charged 45.00 for grooming and an additional 20 for the express not sure what the add on for express was. I left. 15.00 tip. We are on vacation and I simply didn't have time to get my dog in before the holidays so this worked out great without leaving my dog for too long at a groomers. Thanks again! read more

Again and as always, great grooming and great service. Tina and her team are always a delight. I moved here during Covid and our family pet has been going to her every other month for a year+ now. As I am posting this review I cant be any more appalled at the nasty reviews she received recently. What a bunch of nasty hateful lying old women. I can certainly confirm most if not all of their reviews are false and you can confirm that yourself after meeting Tina and seeing her studio. Her new location is impeccable just like her old location. I look forward to continuing to bring our furry kid back again and again, Thank you Tina! read more

My small dog is very fearful and downright afraid of new places, people. She was handled with care and she was a happy girl when I picked her up and looked beautiful. They did a great job and I am confident this is the best place for my timid girl. Highly recommend them!! read more

First time visit and will definitely return. I've been hunkered down in the Coachella Valley staying safe. Normally my dogs are bathed and groomed in LA. But long COVID dog nails drove me to find someplace local here to bathe and cut nails. So happy I found Best in Show. Rosemary took care of my two dogs; she is delightful. The shop is following strict COVID guidelines, which is really good. Reasonably priced. I highly recommend Best in Show Dog Grooming. read more

They are amazing groomers my sweet baby is 15 yrs old and they spend so much attention to his needs awesome groomers in the valley.

I went in the other day and was helped by Melissa and Nereida. Both girls were super nice and answered all my questions. After getting my dog Gidget groomed, I knew I made a great choice! She looked fabulous. I couldn't be any happier. read more

very dissatisfied with the pricing and the communication here ladies were undermining with the rates.

The reviews are right! Tina is truly the best and super nice, I brought in my dog Piper who will be turning 14 in a few weeks and was nervous about a new groomer. Tina took care of Piper and even gave him a little bandana, she said he was so good. Thank you Tina will be returning next time! read more

Immediately walking into Best in Show you notice how clean and well kept this place is. It even smells great! Melissa has been grooming our maltipoo for years. Hands down the best groomer in town. She's gentle and affectionate with our fur baby. Lexi loves visiting Melissa and getting all dolled up. read more

When our favorite groomer moved to a new location we just had to follow. We are so glad that we did! Nerida is simply the best! She does an amazing job with our sweet Bichpoo, Bernie. He always looks polished when we pick him up after a service. The salon is clean and bright but personal in the attention given to your pet. So very happy! read more

Our groomer is out sick and my dogs needed a bath and cut. I have an 8 year old Westie. I have never seen such a poor job. He has been chopped. I assume Tina's assistant must have done the grooming because I can't imagine Tina would have done this. I will NEVER return there. If she is training someone then she is not supervising well. read more

I've been taking my dogs to Melissa for years now. She always does a great job I never leave disappointed. I always appreciate that she's kind to my pets. Plus she grinds my dogs nails instead of clipping them which is a bonus for me, I've never liked when their nails were clippped. The facility is always very clean and well kept. I would recommend her to anyone. read more

A neighbor recommended Tina because of her amazing grooming skills and kind nature. I have tried a few groomers for Oliver, my Australian Labradoodle, but hadn't yet found "the one". The last groomer we tried a few times, she did a good job with his cut but the last time we went her attitude was not that great. When I picked Oliver up I could tell by his demeanor he didn't have the best experience. For me that is not acceptable, my dog is family! I called Best In Show and spoke with Tina explaining how I like for Oliver to be groomed. We booked the appt and today he went for his first grooming with Tina. When we arrived she took a good look at Oliver and we discussed how I like for him to be groomed. I will admit that I am a little picky, liking his head and legs longer than his body. I like his curly bangs to hang but not too long that he can't see. I like his face long but tapered and his beard short. I don't like the "blown out" look, I prefer to show off his wavy/curly fleece coat! Tina was very kind, easy to talk to and professional. Once I picked Oliver up I could tell right away he looked great. Once I got him home and was able to take a closer look at him I must say I was very impressed! I could tell Tina paid close attention to all the "picky" details I went over with her. Oliver was in great spirits when I picked him up which made me feel even more confident that he was in good hands. I'm overall extremely happy to have found Oliver's "forever groomer" after nearly a year of searching for the RIGHT one! Thank you Tina! read more

Melissa is an amazing groomer. I would always recommend you to her. My dog looks fantastic!

Utterly impressed every time I go. They are sweet, do a great job and always finish when they say they will. Not only that, but we get a nice text saying it's time to pick up our lil guy. You won't be disappointed! read more

We moved to La Quinta in 2012. Tina was working at Petco and we used her to groom our 2 small poodles. She did a great job each and every time and we were so happy for her when she called us directly and told us that she left Petco and opened her own grooming shop in La Quinta. We were one of her first customers (AND REPEAT customers for YEARS). I have NO idea what happened, but recently we brought the boys to Best in Show like usual and the boys returned with unfinished and uneven cuts, especially on their faces and mustaches, without their toenails being cut. I called Tina as soon as they got home (my hubby picked them up) to discuss this with her and arrange a time when I could bring the dogs back so she could finish grooming them and she didn't even have the courtesy to call me back! I called 3 times over the next few days!! I wasn't rude to her in any of my messages that I left. although by the 3rd call, I was very irritated. I just wanted to find out what happened! If my dogs misbehaved, which I know they do sometimes, I wouldn't have been upset at all. I would have certainly understood. At the same time, as a professional groomer, Tina should have been able to handle their acting up while they're getting groomed IF that was the issue in the first place. But to give a substandard haircut to BOTH dogs and then NOT return the call from your repeat customer who simply wants to know what the heck happened is downright hurtful, terrible service and BAD BUSINESS that needs to be addressed. Tina should rethink dropping customers like this without any explanation at all. Since she is relatively new to owning her own business, she doesn't realize that good customers are hard to come by. Hopefully she will learn to appreciate her customers and treat them better than the way she treated us after all these years. read more
