This place is the best. And they find incredible rescue dogs like our little Woody. Love them!

"I am convinced Melinda and Janine are angels sent from heaven to look after our furry family members! Finding a groomer you can trust is hard, but finding two who are also experienced vet technicians? That is the holy grail. My Chewbacca has cancer and other allergic, skin issues, but these twins work together in perfect harmony to make the experience stress-free. They have the magic touch that you need to help you with your fur babies. Chewbacca have been seeing them since he was 4 months old! They are incredibly patient, compassionate, and skilled. They noticed a small spot on my dog's skin that I missed--that vet tech background is invaluable! Probably saved me thousands of dollars in veterinary bills by finding a foxtail or any kind of something stuck in his paw and they always always took the best care of him. He was happy going in and loves them bother dearly My dog came home looking like a show dog, smelling amazing, beautiful cuts and most importantly, happy and calm. Do not hesitate to book them--they are truly exceptional! We love them so much. read more

My dog was brought in for JUST an UNDER BELLY clean up as he is small and was picking up alot of grass etc.. Simple JUST belly trim. He is a full bred German Biewer Terrier with beautiful long black, white and brown hair on this torso, head, ears and tail. When I picked him up 20 mintures later after a text saying he was ready, he was still in the back as they were putting "a bow on him." I said "Don't put him in a cage" Thier response was they had none. They had numerous cages that I saw in the back room. Lie#1 When I arrived they made me pay before I saw him. Alarming. When he was brought out they had CHOPPED HIS TAIL, the long hair on his EARS, HIS HEAD AND TOP COAT IS UNEVEN AND THE CHARM OF THE BREED WITH HIS LONG SILKY HAIR IS GONE! I left as I was so upset and returned an hour later when I was more calm. They didn't apologize but said we had asked for a "Puppy Cut". LIE #2. My dog is 11 years old. WE NEVER ASKED FOR A PUPPY CUT nor had heard of it!! This was my first and last time to this place. Yes, I know it will grow but that's not the point. It's like giving your kid a buzz cut "by mistake"!! read more

Doggie Styles - MY DOG! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Mill Valley, California

As a first-time dog owner, I'm quickly learning that not all groomers are created equal. We took our pup to Paw Palace for his first groom and thought, "Okay, this is fine." Then we were lucky enough to get an appointment at Doggie Styles--and wow. My jaw literally dropped when I saw him afterward. He looked absolutely perfect, smelled amazing, and felt so soft and clean. The difference was night and day. Can't recommend Doggie Styles enough--they're on a whole other level. read more

It's just so easy to do drop in nail services with my dog. She's in and out and they're super knowledgable. Great to have them in Mill Valley! read more

My pup, a stinky English Bulldog,was done as scheduled. Looked great and smelled much better, too. This is the third Bulldog I've had bathed there. Jeanine and Melinda are really great plus the back room staff is terrific. They must be doing something great because the staff has remained the same for all three Bulldogs. Their toenails are always clipped, too. read more

I brought my 2 dogs and my cat in last week. It was a fabulous experience! One dog needed grooming, and one dog needed nails trimmed, also my cat. The services were very fairly priced and carried out in a warm and professional way. Highly recommend this business! read more

Nice place but impossible to get in if you are not an existing customer. Nice ladies and good service but they aren't taking new dogs

Very good service! Leo came back very happy and clean. Will use this service again gladly read more

No other place I would ever bring my dog -- I drive up from San Francisco. I have a 100-lb Bernese Mountain Dog and time after time she looks amazing after groom! The two gals that own this spot are so sweet, caring, and reassuring! Would give them 6-stars if I could. read more

Only gone here for a nail trim, but they are so fast and easy. Just walk in and they will be done in minutes, for $20.

Our dogs have been getting groomed at Doggie Styles for the last three years with our current dog, and before that, 12 years with our Aussie. Janine and Melinda are professional, sweet,, knowledgeable, and just great people. They, along with their team Of Groomers are very skilled and do great work. Our Aussie was friendly and sweet, but a handful to groom; our current dog is a husky shepherd, and he was initially nervous and scared for his grooming, but now he knows how handsome he looks, how great he smells, lol, and that he's in good hands! Thank you Janine and Melinda for providing such high quality service in our community, for the past 20 years plus years! read more

My very large, very hairy dog was sprayed in the face by a skunk in the middle of the night. I was freaking. The sisters did an amazing job. Very calmly, they spent several hours removing every trace of the skunk. I've been using them for years, but they went above and beyond this morning. Thank you! read more

14 years later(!!) and still taking my pup to the lovely ladies at Doggie Styles (a different pup then when I first reviewed though, RIP little Roxy).

They've done a great job for us and obviously care about animals. My dog leaves happy and beautiful. Gets a little busier than I'd like but I get that they have a business to run. I'm glad I can feel confident leaving my dog in their care. read more

Doggie Styles - Karl's fresh cut - Pet Groomers Near Me - Mill Valley, California

When I took my dog here, he looked like a a giant tator tot with hair, or a furry loaf of bread. When I picked him up he looked like a dog again -- truthfully a picture of the breed standard. These folks are talented, friendly and absolutely adore dogs. read more

Excellent, friendly service. Our go to for years to look after our Havanese. Highly recommend!

The nicest friendliest most knowledgeable doggie stylists around! I'm so happy to take my third dog (over 25 years!) to them for bathing and grooming. She came back to me all fluffy and happy, with a pink bow! read more

Love Doggie Styles!! They do a great job and take awesome care of my pup. They are always very flexible and will go out of their way to help with any urgent needs I've had. They are very kind and give great advice on caring for your dog. read more

1 line review that any pet owner would understand: My dog *likes* going here. Extra: no pulling on the leash to stay away, no shaking legs, no sprinting away when it's all over. The ladies who run this have true love for all furry friends and an innate, reflexive ability to soothe dogs. All the pups just groove with their mojo! read more

My dog Lucy is a 90 pound long hair Pyrenees and it not easy to groom. But they do an amazing job there and with big smiles to boot. Great place and it is so clear that they love what they do. A+++++++. read more

Lifesavers! Short version: One of my dogs got skunked this morning, I'd left my old groomer and needed someone desperately. They rose to the challenge superbly, and with real grace. Long version: I have two huskies. When my back got too bad to bathe them myself, I found a local groomer. They did a good job, but I had numerous small problems with them (miscommunications, extra charges, not giving the dogs water, etc.). The kicker was when the owner told me that unless I brought them in EVERY MONTH, she was going to up her charges dramatically. Huskies shouldn't be bathed more than a couple of times a year, it destroys the oils in their coats, and that would have meant over $200 a MONTH for grooming. I never went back. We're "urban mushers", I run my dogs at first light (five years with a dog sulky, the past year with a recumbent trike). On this morning's run, Kochyok spotted movement in the bushes and pounced before I could react...skunk! She had grabbed him, so she really got the full blast. Rinsed her eyes, let her roll around in the dirt for a bit, then headed home. I had time before any groomers opened, so got on line. Found Doggie Styles, and how often do you see anything on Yelp with 79 reviews, almost all FIVE STARS?!?! Reading the reviews made me want them even more, so I called and they let me bring her in. The lady took her in back, came out and said she had to apologize (!), Koch was so badly skunked, she couldn't touch her to estimate her coat, "but I'll be fair". Price wasn't on the top of my mind this time, but how nice of her to say that! Her next question was "Any medical conditions we should know about?" (nobody's ever asked me that!), followed by "I know you mentioned she'll want extra water " (wow, she remembered my casual remark!) and "It may take a while, we'll shoot for 1:30, but it may be as late as 2:30 (the other place, I had her in when they opened, and she never got back before 3:00! That's 4-5 hours, as opposed to previously never less than 7!). I'm in love! True to their word, they called at 1:20 to tell me Kochyok would be ready by the time I got there. She's never looked this good, not a hint of skunk remains, and for the cherry on top, one of the ladies started to tell me when I brush her, to be sure not to use a bladed brush, like the Furminator De-Shedding Tool, which just happens to be a bugaboo of mine, and I had asked the other lady earlier to be sure they didn't use them. Almost to good to be true, I know where I'll be going from now on. read more

This is the Spot! Our sweet Bernadoodle Pix has been a regular for years and every time we get him groomed here he comes back fresh and clean with a new bow. read more

Very happy to discover this great place. Our retriever/shepherd mix was able to be squeezed in on a Friday for her first visit - and she came out happy, gorgeous and with a shine to her coat and lack of undercoat that makes her look 10lbs lighter. unfortunately they don't offer the same instant weightless for the dogs' owners... Price was reasonable for the quality of service received. We'll definitely be back, and skip our drives into the city. Very happy. read more

I honestly don't understand all of these excellent reviews... Based upon these reviews I brought my dog in for a shampoo and nail trim. They forgot to trim his nails... And they got water in his ear when they shampooed him, which necessitated a costly visit to our veterinarian for antibiotics. I really really wanted to like this place because they seem quite popular but I was not impressed... read more

The team here are truly professional. They worked with my dog who hadn't been to a groomer before, but now has an intense undercoat (said it was normal with aging Golden's). The experience was great, he came away happy and looking awesome. Would recommend/use them again! They really know their stuff! read more

Oh my god I can't even express how impressed I am with this place! I have a 9 year old Bernese Mountain Dog who I brought here after almost a year of not being groomed. (Cue the dog mom shaming, I will welcome it, that was way too long for my poor floof!) they spent several hours with him and when I came to pick him up, he was a new dog!!! They explained all that needed to be done as he had some mats, and they were so kind and gracious about it, I will definitely be back!!! read more

I have been going to Doggie Styles for more than 10 years. I love the place so much that I even drove over the GGB from San Francisco. The owners are incredibly nice and friendly. The service is excellent and they handle all the dogs with loving care. One of my two Vizslas hates having her nails trimmed but I can quickly whisk her in and out of Doggie Styles with a couple of treats without a problem. Hands down it's the best dog grooming salon in the Bay area. I would never go anywhere but here. read more

They treat my older dog - who's 15 yrs old - so well, I now go way out of my way to get him to these ladies! I won't go anywhere else.

I don't trust anyone else in the area to cut my dog's hair. The women there are so kind and genuine and truly love what they do. I am knocking down a star because the prices are insanely expensive for my smaller dog. Always have to pay over $100 and I find that a little bit ridiculous, but again, they do a fantastic job on his hair. read more

Where do I start? The owners of this business are Janine and Melinda, and they are stars as well as sisters. These two lovely ladies are sensational and run their business like it is their home. Their staff is just great and do a fabulous job. Teddy is white with a llittle beige and he looks absolutely adorable with his cute bow when I pick him up. Melinda and Janine are knowledgeable and eager to make your dog and YOU feel comfortable. I love these ladies because they are so caring and willing to answer questions. Their cheerful manner is always refreshing and it is a joy to take my Teddy to be groomed there. I love seeing all the dogs when I am there because they look so great after they have been groomed by the wonderful people at "Doggie Styles". I highly recommend this grooming business. Yeh!!!!! read more

They had me drop my golden retriever off at 11:30. Didn't call me for a pick up until 3:55 and said get her now we are closing at 4. I ran over to get her to find that they had kept my dog in a small dog crate on a 85 degree day the whole time without water, the room was even hotter. She peed in the kennel probably from being over heated and having never used a dog crate before. I will never bring my dog back to this place and I also can tell my dog hates it there as well. read more

I'll admit it... I can be a prude, especially a linguistic one. I know, I know. I've been on a roll with my reviews lately, covering terrain that's ordinarily covered by men at night, in dark alleyways of SF (ie, cruising parks). For someone who is a font of information about gay cruising spots*** (I could write a travel guide at this point), why did my toes curl and spine shudder at the name of this business? I guess it's just my capricious nature. Point is, I never brought my mutts here because I simply didn't like the business name. Yes, yes, it's tongue and cheek, a play on words, why... it's even a double entendre! But, come on people! Do I really want to have to be erasing a mental image of 70's porn from my head every time I go to drop my dogs off for a bath? Apparently I do. I finally broke down, crossed my personal "principles" line (the "I'm not going to support a business because I object to their name" line) and brought the mutts here last week. OH. MY. GOOD. GRACIOUS. My dogs have NEVER been so sleek and soft in their whole lives, like not even when they were fluffy little milky eyed pupplets. I admit it, I'm hooked. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! And the prices rocked, as did the service. I just don't think I'm going to be paying by check or credit card here... I can only wonder what the check clearing person or credit card people would think to see this listed on the recent charges: DOGGIE STYLES - $75* *(for 2 giant dogs getting washed, nails trimmed and butt-glands, um... expunged.... uggh) Shyuh. Not. ***This little party trick - knowing about a bunch of cruisy areas in the city - is made even more interesting considering that I'm a straight chick. Let's just say I'm so co-dependent and love my BFF so much that, back in the day when he was hard up, I'd actually drop his ass off at these locations upon request. Now, if that isn't a good friend, what is? read more

We've tried everything to get our dog as clean as Doggie Styles can but we never feel she is as soft or as beautifully scented as when she returns from a morning at Doggie Styles. They must use a magic soap. A great place to bring your dog if you are in the market for grooming. You can tell they love dogs and take good care of them. read more

Very professional! So sweet. Been a customer for over 20 years. Always booked but they do an amazing job!! They (a golden and a maltipoo) always walk out with a pep in their step. The women go above and beyond - cleaning up eye goop and cutting their nails even just for a wash. read more
