Peter does a fine enough job but hit me with a whopping $30 price increase without notice when I briught my 17lb mini aussiedoodle in yesterday. We are all dealing with tighter budget but be forwarned to get your price quote at time of booking. Having de matted her the night before I considered cancelling last minute and finishing her myself as I usually do but thought better of it. Should've listened to my instincts as I was not treated with such courtesy. Looks like her in his ads. No customer consideration for her modeling roles. Wont be back. read more

This review is long overdue... I thought this guy Pete went out of business and was horrified that we just found this page and he's still around but just moved locations. He terrified our doodle and did an ugly haircut too. But that was not the worst part -- or the only detail. The warning to all of you is that our dog came home with several cuts on her nose and body where you can tell she was aggressively shaven with no clipper guard. After bringing her home trembling, we said we'd never take her there again after seeing those cuts on her nose and body. We felt so sad we took her there and was traumatized by this groomer. He should not be handling any pets! Also, the shop was filthy and all the dogs in the shop looked like they stayed in cages all day. read more

Pete is the only person who can deal with my Shiba. He has patience and doesn't get frustrated with the number of breaks my dog has to take during his grooming session. read more

Always 5 stars with Pete! He has taken great care of our pup for years. He is kind, gentle and does a cute puppy cut on our Cockapoo.

Pete is amazing! He is the only one who can groom our Luna. Luna gets very anxious when groomed but Pete is somehow able to work with her and calm her down. Thank you for your hard work Pete! read more

Took amazing care of our dog, usually our dog shakes and barks and gets super scared going to get groomed at other place but the environment was very calm. The owner gave suggestions for the haircut of our dog coco and they came out great! Thank you and definitely recommend for dogs and owners. Coco was super happy with his new haircut. read more

This guy doesn't specialize in Shiba inu's. But he sure did do an amazing job with mine. I was unsure at first and hesitant.... I have a German Shepard beagle mix and anytime I took her to the groomers and asked them to brush her out they never did an amazing job. They always left a ton of fur. Now, my mix doesn't have nearly as dense or as much fur as my Shiba. But Peter did a stupendous job getting out all that winter coat. She smelled AMAZING, and he was super friendly to her. My Finacé was amazed at how clean she was and how clean she felt. He even used the crazy baby voice I use when I talk to her, he never speaks to her like that. We are very happy with his work and would recommend his services to everyone. read more

So happy Pete and Grooming Works were able to stay in our community. Zeppy is a happy, clean cut camper after his quarterly visit. read more

Brought our dog here for the first time and she left with an ulcer on her right eye, likely due to some kind of trauma. Her eye has been swollen for a week and the vet says if this gets worse she could lose the eye. We called Grooming Works twice with no response. Unreal... Our dog has been in extreme pain and we have vet bills. I would strongly suggest avoiding this place. read more

Pete does such a good job grooming my dog. He takes his time and my dog always has his knots out after. He makes sure to feed my dog treats during his cut too! Highly recommend the grooming works! read more

The owner was so kind to me, I was in a time crunch and needed my dog cleaned up. He was able to squeeze her in same day and gave her the posh treatment. I asked for a puppy cut with short body and a well trimmed face. She came out looking as cute as ever AND with the most adorable bandana that matched her harness. Would definitely recommend. Always support your local groomer. Thank you! read more

We tried this place out after our dog got a strained neck from Bow Wow Meow in Menlo Park. The vet gave her meds for it. Decided never going back there. After the first time we came we haven't left this place. Pete is also always able to make room for Monkey with evens just a day's notice. She leaves happy and clean - what more can you ask for from a groomer? I always have to remember that he doesn't take credit card - so bring your checkbook or have some cash on you! read more

This place is absolutely horrible. Left my dog at 10 am and come to find out my dog was in a very small cage till 5:30 when the owner finally got around to cutting my dogs hair. Asked why it took so long and the owner with a bad attitude said his helper walked off the job and he over booked. I watched the owner from outside the front window and his treatment with all the dogs was so bad and scary. You could tell he so did not enjoy grooming dogs with such a bad attitude towards the pet owner and the dogs he groomed. To top off the bad hair cut and horrible owner he is way over priced as well. Never again would I ever go to this place. I never give reviews but I just had to share, this is so not a place you want to take your dog to at all...... read more

We have been going to The Grooming Works for about 25 years. Pete the owner is fantastic with all his dog clients. Our dogs look forward to going to grooming with Pete. Pete is very caring and treats each dog in their own special way as needed by each dog. Pete has expanded his business to a new location at 2464 W. El Camino Real, Mountain View. It is about 5 min south from his previous location across the street from Sees Candy on El Camino. New location is easy to get to, has plenty of parking and is bigger and brighter than his former location. We love the new location. I wouldn't take my dog to any other groomer than Pete. My dog always get his personal attention. Pete is the best ! read more

We bring our 1yo bichon-poodle Lucy here about once a month (we've been bringing her here since she was ~4 months old). Pete is really gentle and nice, and makes Lucy look absolutely adorable. He takes specific requests (we like her with a shorter face but a poof on top), and he also makes great recommendations (i.e. leaving the hair a bit longer on her legs to balance out her body shape, so she doesn't have matchstick-legs). The atmosphere isn't fancy but it's functional and the poochies seem happy. He is also really reasonably priced. Definitely recommend! read more

Too expensive, kept my dog for 7 hours and still didn't get the haircut I asked for. Do not recommend this place.

First time here. Our dog is a Bolognese - she was overgrown and a bit matted. Previous groomers usually shave her back to the skin but Pete did a fantastic job leaving her with plenty of fluffy hair all un-matted, even and cut exactly the way I asked. Five stars! read more

There's a guy there that works alone with occasional help. I recently took my dog there the first time. He's a pretty nice guy and handled my dog pretty well. She doesn't like her feet touched and he was very patient with her. I must say though... I specifically asked him not to cut any hair on her hair. And he just chopped it and gave her bangs! It took my a year to grow them out. Also, I found a couple of knots that I assume he missed. Overall, this place is pretty good. I'm sure that I was to return he would get it right next time. I might go back but this place wouldnt be my top three. read more

This is a gem, the owner takes each dog as it comes. In my case a very fearful pup. He spent an hour and a half trying to relax him and make friends and was able to trim a bit which he didnt charge for. He said bring him back in a week and we would try again to socialize him. The next week i brought him again along with our other dog as a comfort dog. This time we met with more success! He is willing to work a bit at a time to win your dog over. We will definitely be making this our regular groomer! read more

I was trying to make an appointment with the mobile dog spa and they never picked up the phone, so I decided to try this place since it's so close to home. I'm so glad I did. I was reluctant at first due to the lack of reviews on here, plus most of the reviews are very old. Gizmo looked so good after grooming. His hair is so soft and smelled so nice. They also gave him a cute bandana. His haircut is the best one I've seen. I've been to many groomers. Most of them cut/shave his hair way too short, even when I told them not to (see my other reviews). I'm surprise there are not that many reviews here. People must be trying to keep this place for themselves. I will definitely be going back. read more

I have been grooming Tito with Pete for nearly 2 years and it's always a stress free and friendly experience. Thanks Pete!

It is OK, not great. The dogs have to stay a long time. Haircuts not predictable.

They do a great job, and are often available last minute. Rocky has had such a cute haircut here. It is often hard to get this accomplished with a Pomeranian. read more

This place is awesome!!! My dog usually has really bad separation anxiety when being left for grooming. Only here I can drop her off without a problem, and at pick up she will go back to say Good bye. She looks gorgeous too read more

So rude!! I called and guy answers, before I could finish asking for appt the next day, he said absolutely not when I asked if they could take my pug tomorrow. Didn't need that attitude- a simple. An "I'm sorry we wouldnt have time" would've worked . read more

Frightening experience here. The shop is dirty and in shambles. Dropped my dog off hesitantly, but had heard good things about doodle grooming. I left but then realized I had accidentally left my cell on the counter. I came back and my dog with chained to the floor. I was scared and appalled by this treatment. Even worse Pete was no where to be found. I had enough time to unchain my dog and leave, and never did see Pete. There is no way I would ever return. read more

This place is absolutely horrible. The clutter, owner/groomer attitude, and lighting are just miserable. The duct taped air conditioner and my dog running for the door are the epitome of this place. Don't go. read more

I am looking at my gorgeous, sweet-smelling, soft Schnauzer/Poodle mix rescue boy. Since he's a one-of-a-kind dog, a certain amount of creativity and experience is required to give him a good cut. I am happy to have found Pete at The Grooming Works. He came highly recommended, and does a super job. BTW: experienced dog owners expect to see crates and dog hair at a groomer's, get their dogs bordatella vaccines, (kennel cough), and realize that fleas (especially during a drought), happen. (Flea treatments have to be changed here often as some of the critters develop an immunity to the one you use.) read more

Called during business hours. Left two messages trying to get an appointment for cat grooming. Never heard back.

Pete has taken care of two generations of our family retrievers and has always done an amazing job. He works long hours and is able to make room which is great! read more

Peter is amazing! He always takes care of my little toy poodle, Louie, and gives him a cute haircut. He treats the dogs in his care very carefully and he's always friendly with them. read more

Pete is great with our dog (who is generally hostile towards strangers) and a down-to-earth, honest man, like you would find in a small town in days past. Cleaned him up nicely. Haircut looks great. He offers the oatmeal option for extra, which I highly recommend. I will definitely be going back to him. The only complaint I had was that he couldn't find the collar when we went to pick our dog up, so just give him a gentle reminder or hold on to it. He works alone. Pete does not charge outrageous rates. I highly recommend him! read more

Thanks, Peter!! Toby's very first puppy cut is exactly what he needed. You did a great job caring for his (and mine) separation anxiety. Can't wait to bring him back!! read more

I brought my Maltese dog here today and was really happy with the service. I didn't catch the owner's name, but he was very nice and accommodating. Snoopy's haircut was a bit different from the normal haircut I get for him - and I loved it! I dropped him off at 11am, and picked him up at 5p. I was worried that he was going to be super anxious being there all day, but it seemed like he didn't even want to leave. Would definitely come back again! read more

Peter does a great job with my poodle/Maltese mix. When I first got Taz he was *really* badly matted. Peter gave him a 'rough' cut initially, but didn't want to place too much stress on him for his first visit. When I took him back the next week for a nail cut and flea bath, he also trimmed him up further at no extra cost. He's always very accomadating in getting my dog in on short notice, sometimes very short. read more
