    Made an appt online, paid the deposit, completed all forms for our 11/29 appt. Upon arrival to the Castro Valley location, it appeared to be closed. Rang the ring camera, called the phone number that goes to a digital assistant, waited 15min, sent an email and have not received a response or apology for the inconvenience. If you'd like to do make a donation to a business that does not take ownership of a missed appointment this is the place! I received a link a few hours after the scheduled visit that never happened to leave a review which was impressive and laughable. Not sure it was worth the $21 deposit or waste of my time for the laugh. It was cute to think an honest mistake was made but after my email being ignored and call not returned, I can firmly say this is not an honest or responsible business owner.

    So fresh and clean

    I recently moved to Castro Valley and was in search of a new groomer for our older dog. I was lucky to find Gina--she's conveniently located near where we live, and she's absolutely fantastic. She does an amazing job with our pup, who can be a bit particular in his old age, and he genuinely looks forward to his monthly visits with her. Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone caring and professional!

    Gina was fantastic! We had a lot of questions before bringing our dog Marlo in, and she was super responsive and helpful over text. Marlo came out looking amazing--his haircut was perfect and really brought out his personality! You can tell she truly cares and knows what she's doing. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

    Very disappointed. I traveled 20 miles for my dog to get his haircut and bath for my appointment and she was NOT THERE. A complete NO SHOW. After waiting 30 minutes, there were over 6-7 people waiting and there was not a single answered call or text. I had another appointment to be at and had to take my dog with me Gina does a good job with the baths and cuts but it was the second time she was late, or in this case, a no show and sadly never replied to my text even after a full week.

    Gina was amazing with my very hairy husky. You can definitely tell when a person loves what they do. Gina's compassion for animals is amazing. My husky mix had fleas and hot spots and was shedding enough to make a dozen more dogs. Gina really got her looking great and smelling wonderful. Very nice big space. And the best part is while I was waiting on my pup to get groomed, which didn't take all day like most places I have been. I was able to treat myself to a wonderful facial literally next door at Debbie's skin care oasis. Highly recommend Gina for your dog grooming needs she's also extremely informative. I'm definitely going back. Thanks, Gina. From Jessica & Angel

    Do you also do grooming for cats?

    I do cats, very minimal amount! Cats are not very fond of getting groomed so if you own a cat and want to get a bath I have to evaluate your pet and see if the cat is manageable just for liability purposes. I set aside 3 days out of the month just… 

    Do you express the dog's glands?

    Yes

    Do you guys use the mechanical filer for nails or the nail clippers?

    We use nail clippers :)

Finding a local groomer became one of the many challenges for me. Based on the reviews, I chose this groomer. They are located at the west end of downtown CV. Walking in the store front, it has a very homey friendly country feel. They do not put dogs in crates. My dog has great separation anxiety so not being confined in a crate is a great relief. My appointment made via phone, requires a $50 deposit. My morning appointment, my dog was immediately taken in the back after grooming requirements were collected. Again, being a first time owner, they walk me through steps. A ninety minutes expectation was given for their work and they would text me to pick up. Upon my return, I was walk through grooming tips and tools (Coombs and brushes, and other products). I appreciate the advice. Since my dog's hair was knotted, he was trimmed very close. They were prepared to scheduled the next appointment but I held off so I can reflect on the overall experience. My dog was appeared fine from this experience though the trim could be more even throughout. Luckily the fur will grow back and no one will know the difference. I was sent a link to schedule appointments online. Overall I hit a very favorable impression with the store front and friendly staff. I definitely will schedule future grooming appointments.

I originally started coming here for training with Ria when I brought home a new puppy and my other two dogs were not getting along with him. Through her training, all of my dogs have developed the skills they needed. The training is ongoing and I've been able to go at a pace that works for my schedule and budget. I now feel much more in control of my dogs' behavior. All three of my dogs are reactive in different ways and the training has made a huge difference. Ria is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to explain things in a way that actually helps me understand what I'm doing and why. She's also very consistent, which I really appreciate. I've worked with other trainers before, but it never felt like an ongoing relationship where I could ask questions or continue learning like I can with Ria. We've done both individual sessions and group reactivity classes and I love that my dogs get to practice being around other dogs in a structured, non-judgmental environment. I've seen real progress in each of them. One has improved with aggressive and overprotective behavior, another has built confidence, and my third has gained obedience skills and improved socialization. I also use their daycare for my youngest dog and he absolutely loves it. He's been going for about six months now. He comes home happy and tired from physical activity and mental enrichment. The facility is great, the staff are caring, and I love getting photo updates. It's also a big plus that they have grooming services on-site. It gives me extra peace of mind that the facilities are all indoors and they work closely with the vet next door in case of an emergency. I'm really grateful to have found a place that supports both my dogs and me!

My travel happened a lot of times at the last minute, and overall I feel like they did a great job accommodating me and handling the situations which were sometimes chaotic. My dogs are both super high energy, and they always seem to return relaxed from their stays. I like that there are certain activities they do with the dogs and that they video / photograph it daily. I do feel like a live camera would be nice but I understand that can bring more complications. Lastly, their actual place has gotten WAY nicer since I first went there. It looks very clean and organized.
