I have taken my 14 year old Maltese to Derrick for the last three years. I got him four years ago from the shelter- and he was severely neglected prior to coming to me. He had serious skin issues from what was most likely years of flea infestations (bad skin thickening) and he was never aggressive- but very tender to handle. Since bringing Beans not only has he been groomed well- he has so much trust and patience in being handled at home as well. He has no more skin thickening, very rarely has skin issues, and his quality of life has greatly improved. Prior to Derrick I took him to a mobile pet salon that wasn't very reliable, and tried my best to groom him at home. It's amazing to see how well he's aged because of his regular grooming. In addition we recently got a rescue who is a crazy mix- but part golden retriever and part Maltese (if you could believe it). She doesn't generally like men but Derrick is so kind and confident that she doesn't generally just fine. He gives me tips on stinky ears, broken nails, and all kinds of things. I moved to Sebastopol and still will take my dogs to see him, he always has time and great advice about whatever I am curious about. read more

Always a pleasure taking my dog here, everyone is sweet and friendly. My dog is very shy and it is a great relieve when I drop her off and she is at ease. Shop hours are great and flexible. read more

Doggie Right Dog Spa - Lunch after a bath - Pet Groomers Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

I'm not sure the name of the man who groomed my dog, it was on Saturday 3/7/26. I do appreciate him getting me in same day, but the quality of work for 95$ was extremely poor. My dog still had knotted ears, tail, uneven face and missed spots on her legs and paws. I did email the email listed on their business card hoping to come to some kind of agreement privately but they haven't emailed me back so I feel inclined to leave a review. I'm new to the area so I was a little shocked about 95$ for a 12lb dog, I'm used to paying 50$. For 95$ I expect pristine work, this just isn't up to par. read more

An updated review: Since my previous post, the owner and name of the dog spa has changed. With this change came with a lost in quality. In May, my dog went in to get groomed before coming down to my graduation. He went in looking almost the same as when he came out. Despite taking MULTIPLE inspiration pictures, the groomer left my dog looking very different. In fact, we had to go ahead and cut his hard AGAIN when we got home. I used to take my dog here every 2 weeks for a nail trim and then the occasional groom, but I will no longer be doing so. (Not to mention the prices went from a $10 nail trim to $15.) read more

Lost my groomer when she closed her business a few weeks ago and I was searching for a new one for my older, slightly fussy Maltese dog. After multiple "not accepting new clients" messages I was getting frustrated. Then I got a message from Doggie Right that they had an appointment slot available. I showed up and was pleasantly greeted. After confirming vaccine status we were good to go. Clyde got a much needed cut and style. I dropped him off and came back about three hours later and found my fussy little guy looking really good and looking none the worse for the wear. He was ready to tackle the world again. Very friendly staff who really listen and really like animals. I plan to be back in a couple of months. read more

I couldn't be more pleased with the care that my dog Bailey was given at Doggie Right Dog Spa - Pet Groomers.

This clearly is the best salon to bring your furry best friend read more

I was very impressed by this business and how quick they were able to squeeze my dog in! I called hoping to schedule an appointment for my dog and he told me he actually had a same day appointment which I was very happy about! The place is clean and calm, which I like. The parking garage is right across the street so the parking is pretty ideal. My dog needed to be shaved down and the groomer left him looking really good! I will definitely be returning with my dog! read more

Dropped my dog off for to get groomed and when I came back to pick up and pay. I am being told that they only tax cash or Venmo. Well I don't carry cash and I don't trust Venmo. I had to have my daughter Venmo them for me. When I was picking up my beast of a dog they didn't even offer to schedule another appt. read more

I got the works, nail file, full wash , defur Etc. when I got my 60lb Catahoula leopard dog, she didn't smell good for 100 dollars I expect my dog to smell amazing, she also still had sharp nails which is very disappointing , will not be going back read more

Sadly my 10 pound Norwich Terrier was injured by Derrick as he worked on her coat. Derrick said he was both skilled and experienced at hand-stripping terriers. He stated that he even did this for show terriers. This process should never be painful or harmful to the skin as it removes dead fur ready to come out. I have had my little terrier for 10 years, and her coat has always been professionally done, and this type of trauma had never happened. Her coat was ready for this process. Derrick did not strip the coat correctly and proceeded to pull out fur by the root and injured the dog's skin. She has sores all over her body, her hair follicles became inflamed and infected. When I called Derrick to talk about this, he became agitated and said he did not have time to talk. I asked him to cover the vet expenses of $442.00 plus I asked for a refund on the grooming fee of $135.00. I have reported this shop to Animal Control in Santa Rosa. This was a traumatic experience for my dog and family. Please be very careful when choosing a groomer. read more

If I were you, I would stay clear of this place. We stopped by for a walk-in nail trim and upon walking into the building it reeked of wet dog like terrible that I wanted to just leave was greeted by the owner, I'm assuming didn't really introduce his name came out, grabbed our dog asked what our dogs name was took him to the back. It all happened so fast we didn't even give us a chance to say never mind. You're also locked in so it's not like we could really go outside for fresh air and we didn't even want to leave our dog either. He came out really quick and probably did the worst nail trim I've ever seen. He didn't even cut the nails he just used a Dremel and buffedthem down. I think the health department should get involved or animal services. This type of establishment shouldn't be around and especially the way it smelled. I'm surprised the restaurant next-door doesn't complain about the smell .I will not be going back to this place and I will not recommend this place to anyone I know. Steer clear people if you know what's good for you and your animals. read more

Derrick did a great job with our Labradoodle this past weekend. We are very pleased with the great service and care he took with our dog. Was very helpful that he was also open on a Sunday. Will definitely be returning here. read more

Our elderly Miniature Schnauzer had her first grooming appointment at Doggie Right day spa this week, and she will be returning because it was so successful. I showed the Groomer a picture of how I wanted her clipped, and the dog I picked up matched perfectly to what I requested. Cocoa seemed calm and happy after her appointment, always a good sign. It was easy to schedule a convenient time and staff on the phone and at the Spa were pleasant. All in all, a good experience for Cocoa and me. Thank you! read more

Shoutout to Devon at The Velvet Dog Spa for taking extra good care of my boy, and giving him the best haircut he has ever gotten! This was my first time to a new salon with my Standard Poodle who has anxiety issues. I explained my concerns to Devon, and she was very receptive of his needs. When I returned to pick him up, he was so happy and looked AMAZING! I could tell on the car ride home that he had a good experience at The Velvet Dog Spa because he was more relaxed than he's ever been leaving the groomers. I HIGHLY recommend Devon at The Velvet Dog Spa! read more

We took our dogs to get their nails clipped. I called ahead to make sure they accept walk-ins, they do. I told them I'd be there in about 20 min. When I arrived I had to ring the doorbell and someone came out, after telling her why we were there she took my dog in and we had to wait outside. It was an odd experience. My dogs were fine, but even my kids thought it was strange and the lady wasn't very friendly. read more

I've taken a very fluffy pup here a couple of times & have been very happy with the results.

I have been taking my Cavalier King Charles here since he was puppy and allowed to start being groomed. He is always excited to come inside which makes me feel great knowing he isn't scared to go in. Emily always listens to what I ask for with his hair cut and preforms the service as asked. He always looks so great after he leaves. I feel the prices are average and customer service is wonderful.

This was the first time we had gone since they changed to Doggie Right Spa. We had gone multiple times when it was The Velvet Dog Spa and were super happy with our experience and the people. Now I will not go back. The price for my 32lb down went from $75 to $110. I understand prices can go up, but to go up almost 50% is crazy to me. When I got home, I had to rewash my dog because the scent they gave her was so horrible. I am very disappointed. read more

Derek really knows dogs and is an excellent groomer. He is especially sensitive and caring of older dogs which they are now accepting. He groomed my friend's 17 year old terrier. He came out looking beautiful with his new haircut! He does my young beagle too! Just lovely. read more

This spot is SO GOOD to my doggie Obi! I have taken him here for over a year now. He always comes home happy.

Emily is THE best! She is so kind and gentle with my pups and does an excellent job trimming their nails super short which is not easy given they're dark and you can't see the quick. The best part about Velvet is how easy it is to get a nail trim; no appointment needed. Just drop in and they'll trim/grind in less than 10 minutes. They're prices are also more than reasonable. I've never been disappointed and we've been coming in twice/month for nearly three years. read more

My two small dogs for grooming on December 2nd. When I picked them up one of them was shaking, having a hard time walking back to the car, and is now absolutely terrified to walk around pet food express (which is usually where they get baths until their next grooming session). I won't be bringing my dogs back to the velvet dog spa and they might want to consider looking into the groomer that was there that day. No dog deserves to have a bad experience. And I would never believe that he acted over excited or badly. He's 9 years old and has always done well at the groomer. read more
