Oliver fresh and groomed

We took our doodles there on a same day appointment after they got crazy dirty at the beach. We couldn't take them to the hotel like that so Groomers. Y the Sea were able to have our dogs looking so good I. Two hours!!! People stopped us and asked us if we had show dogs!!

Marki and Josh have created a relaxing place for the pups to groom up in a no stress, home like environment. It's a very comfortable, downtown Carmel cottage, off the path a bit.... it's perfect They're very conscious of the organic and raw product needs each time I have come in. I own a high end pet concierge service. I have clients that expect the best from me. I expect the best from Grooming by the Sea and they deliver over one over again. I highly recommend getting on a wait list and being patient. They are the Seinfeld soup kitchen groomers of Carmel. So be quiet get in line and wait.

Wow! I have a long coat German shepherd and she is 7 years old. She's never been professionally groomed before, only gone in for toe nail trims. She looks like a show dog! Her undercoat had gotten out of hand and I couldn't keep up with stripping it and brushing her. They did a great job and she was happy when I picked her up!

My 7 yr old rat terrier threw up on the ride from the east bay to Carmel Carmel Grooming was able to fit my girl for a Saturday appointment They were very quick. A tad bit pricey, but I didn't think to have just a basics bath for my mutt. I requested a full bath, teeth cleaning the works. Besides, we're taking about Carmel The good news is that the 100 miles or so to return home was nice Minn Minn didn't get sick

We are enormously thankful for our experiences at Grooming by the Sea. This is a place where dogs of all sizes are loved in a low stress environment. Marki and Josh make each one a part of the family while they are there. Marki has a bond with of my each poodles and they get to express their true selves after a visit here!

This place is certainly better and different! First they have experience in all breeds, meant you don't need to tell them that my dog is Labradoodle don't shave her nose, they know better than me. They choose the best dog treats, though I noticed most of the dogs love that place and they never get nervous! That are a little bit expensive, but that's because of their amazing quality. Also don't forget that you need to be a regular to get the best results, and I think this is my plan.

It's been a few days since RPMGS came over, and Mr. 4th of July still looks very proper.

See all

We booked an appointment because our friend's pup was in desperate need of a last minute haircut…read more Our normal groomer was fully booked, so we started calling around. Virginia took our call and was nice at first, let us know there was space the next day and seemed really flexible about drop-off, haircut options, etc. The next morning, we dropped him off. A couple hours later, we get a call letting us know he was ready to be picked up and was told to pick him up immediately because he was barking. Upon pickup, we noticed his hair wasn't really trimmed, it was still really long. It just looked like he got a bath and blowout. We had sent reference photos of a standard puppy cut we normally get for our puppy with our normal groomer, so wasn't sure why his hair was still so long. They said they will cut it shorter but will need another 30 minutes. After another 30 mins, Virginia called us back and very rudely said "you need to pick this dog up, this is the best we're going to be able to do and he's barking and annoying the other dogs." Her tone and demeanor were incredibly rude and unnecessary. What confused me is when we showed up for final pickup, we heard several dogs barking and none of them were the pup we dropped off, I wonder if they were getting similar phone calls. Though they were able to get his hair shorter, it was very poorly done. The legs and underbelly area are still really long and there are several areas where his hair length is uneven and awkward looking. They charged more than our normal groomer, did a really poor job, and Virginia treated us very rudely.

I was most impressed when I picked my dog up today after being groomed in Brad's. I spoke with the…read moregroomer who was very polite and the end result showed she knows what she's doing. they also called within two hours rather than having my dog in a cage for most of the day. I really appreciate that.

They used to be excellent. Not anymore. Not at all. My dear cat paid the price with delayed care,…read moregreat pain, then euthanasia. My forever guilt for not switching veterinarian sooner. CLARIFICATION: I was with Peninsula Animal Hospital when they were in Pacific Grove. I was very satisfied with their care. I followed them when they moved to Crossroad. After about one year at Crossroad I felt the care was becoming unreliable. I did say to the Vet. that used to be excellent: "To be honest I have lost confidence in your care, what happened to you?" A tech was present. After that exchangeI I finally switched veterinary practice but it was too late for my beloved cat.

Again as always a great vet. The really care about your pets and you and your family. Doc again…read morecame out to talk about everything and even with all the patients he has and not seeing me for a year he remembered our family. It's a wholesome bet that still calls about the family. They are always current on new medications and treatments. The app that they use makes it's easy to set up appointments and send reminders. And the have a military discount and with the Army not having a vet at Ord anymore this place I think is the pace to go. I also still think their prices are very reasonable especially for this area. I've been to several states in my work over the years and this is one of the more fair and affordable vets. They also have information on animal hospitals in the area should you need one. They are all connected through the app.

Excellent Dog Care…read more The review is long overdue but wanted to share for others who want to find someone who truly looks after your own furchild. In my case there were two furkids that needed varying care. Why I would return to Freya +'s: + Responsive. I needed day care services and even evening services while I had to attend an all day conference and participate in an evening event for a few days. Freya answered my calls and texts before the care, during the care, and after the care. + Timely. Always showed up on time when I had to rush off to an event + Caring. I judge how my two dogs react when she returned the following day. Dogs do not lie and they were happy to see her return. + Helpful. Often I had to rush in and out of my lodge while I had to attend an event and Freya made sure she could help me exit as smoothly as possible and minimize my dogs' separation anxiety + Senior care experience. I see that Freya was able to care for my senior dog who had more issues than the younger sibling. + Great feedback. She shared photos of my girls to just show me how they were doing that day while I had to leave them under her care. Overall I would not hesitate to have Freya take care of my senior dog and my other more lively furkid.

Freya was so amazing with our two fur babies! She came over the day before and met us and our dogs…read more She is wonderful with the dogs. We felt so good leaving them with Freya while we went Whale Watching. She sent us pictures throughout the day. We highly recommend Freya without hesitation.
