    After shampoo & cut ...
    Julz S.

    Great experience so far, it is a little weird just to walk in and drop off with no words exchanged but otherwise I haven't had any problems. Appointments aren't needed, walk ins are always welcomed. Zelle is an option for payment, and very reasonable pricing.

    My two SPOILED babies.. Miss Kali & Miss Mango take changes.. my ride or die. I recommend this place to my now adult daughter. We use to bring our Chow Chow weekly years ago.. good service & great prices.

    Shave down and full bath.

    Lara is amazing with how she treats her furry clients. My dogs aren't has anxious when they come here but kicker is she'll even groom CATS !!! I've been bringing my dogs here for a while and recently, had adopted a Siamese who seriously need a bath after jumping into curry. I called to drop my fur babies off and jokingly asked if they would groom my cat and to my surprise she said absolutely. I literally dashed back home and returned with Courage ( the siamese). He was fluffy, silky and white when we picked him up. For my dog owners if you provide a picture of how you want your dogs hair to be cut they usually will do a pretty good job of executing that anytime I've had an issue with the haircut being somewhat an even they've never hesitated to bring my dogs back in and correct it with no additional charge

    They do a great job at Lara's. I have been coming here for many years. They groomed my three yorkies until I lost the last one at age 14. A year later I have rescued a yorkie/Maltese mix and so I brought her in for grooming. She looks so good !!! Thank you

    before her cut

    Took my dog here and once i picked her up she was full of scrapes on top of her eyes. Her eyes were red and she couldn't even open them. The receptionist told me she was hard to deal with which is why they took longer than usual. Once i got there, the older woman who was grooming her kept pulling the leash that was around her neck, aggressively. She looked as if she hated her job... If they knew they couldn't work on my dog, they could've easily just called me and said they won't be able to. I had to go and buy eye drops for her poor eyes because she has been trouble opening them. As well as an ointment for the areas where she was cut. Some people are not qualified nor hold any empathy skills to work with animals. PLS save your pets from coming here!!

    The tip of the tail looks weird
    Rechell S.

    Olive had his first grooming service with this establishment. I like how they trimmed around the face & the back of his body. Some of the things they overlooked were the end of his tail, his paws, and his arm. So far, they have done a better job than other groomers. However, I am disappointed that they completed missed trimming the paws. It would be great if the groomers can reason with me and accommodate the things they missed. I want to come here since It's local, but if I'm paying $75 for a service, I'm expecting a good job.

    I was nervous because this was the first time my miniature schnauzer was getting a haircut , but they did such a good job! He's a puppy still & very rambunctious I can only imagine how difficult he was thank you Lara's for taking such good care of our Mr Indiana Jones !

    They have a way with our golden doodle, who despite her nerves, feels at home here. They will give her a nice bow and make the dog park say wow.

    I just want to say thank you for always making my Rocko look handsome. I bring him looking like he has no owner and ratchet and he comes looking like the handsome prince. I have never had a problem here everyone is always nice and friendly!

    Love this groomer! Stopped taking my fur baby to petco and switched over to Lara's Doggy In The Window and it's the best decision I've made. Very affordable and they always have appointments too.

    Where do I begin? The moment we walked in we were warmly greeted by Kyla (who happened to be who we…read morewere scheduled with). My ElliGirl took an instant liking to her. We chatted briefly and I let Kyla know I wanted every service available for my baby. She did not try to upsell services, even though I would've gladly agreed. EL & Kyla went to the grooming area and I set myself up in the waiting area to watch a movie on my IPad. Did I mention they have free guest Wi-Fi? I was also offered beverages several times and checked on to make sure I was well and comfy. The entire staff was friendly & so we're most of the clients. One client even sat and chatted with me while he enjoyed a nice flute of champs. I snuck peaks at my baby girl who looked pleasantly relaxed each time I played spy. It looked like a total spa day for her. When I knew she was almost done I went to the nearby market. I was completely unmissed because when I came back my little girl was still happily vibing with her new friend. I saw people use the self service wash which looked amazingly stocked. I usually self wash my baby somewhere else, but decided she was at a point where we would both benefit from a real groomer. So glad we did. When all was said and done Elli looked amazing! Her double coat was fully blown out! Shiny shiny shiny! Her nails were beautifully trimmed. She came out happy, bandanad, bowed and bedazzled! Total love this for her. Do yourselves and fur babies a favor and bring them here.

Unfortunately, the service we've received over the past several months has declined so dramatically that we can no longer trust this business with our three dogs. When Leah left, the owner, Joanne, personally assured my wife and me that nothing would change and that Maze, Buddy, and Denahi would continue to receive the same level of care we'd always experienced. That promise was not kept. The last two visits were the final straw. On one visit, we were told that senior dogs took priority, which resulted in us not being able to pick up our dogs until approximately 8:30 p.m. On the next visit, we were told cats had delayed the schedule, and once again we weren't able to pick up our dogs until nearly 9:00 p.m. Those aren't reasonable pickup times, especially when customers have planned their entire day around your schedule. Every business runs into unexpected situations. What separates a great business from a poorly run one is communication and accountability. We received neither. What disappointed us even more was the complete lack of follow-through. My wife called specifically asking to speak with Joanne. She was told Joanne would return her call within a couple of days. That phone call never came. No explanation. No apology. No acknowledgment. Nothing. That silence spoke volumes. Loyal customers deserve better than excuses, broken promises, and being ignored. We spent years supporting this business because we believed our dogs were in good hands. Loyalty should mean something. Instead, it felt like once they had our business, our concerns simply didn't matter. The most frustrating part is that this didn't have to end this way. A simple phone call. An honest conversation. An apology. Taking responsibility. Any one of those things could have gone a long way. Instead, we were left feeling dismissed and unimportant after years of supporting this business. We didn't make the decision to leave lightly. Finding a groomer you trust with your pets isn't easy, and we truly hoped we'd never have to look elsewhere. Sadly, Joanne's lack of communication and declining customer service left us with no choice. If you're considering Purrfect Pet Parlor, understand that our experience has been one of declining service, poor communication, broken promises, and a complete disregard for long-time customers. Based on what we've experienced, we simply can't recommend them anymore. We're incredibly disappointed that a relationship built over so many years ended this way. Our dogs deserved better. We deserved better.

    Exceptional service; very quick too! My little dog doesn't need haircuts, but Lily had an…read moreall-services-except-haircut flea bath for an excellent price! I found my new groomer! Lily recently had an eye surgery, so I was paranoid reading reviews for other groomers. We'd prefer to keep the eye we still have. Soggy Dog definitely lives up to its 5-star reviews! Just in case anyone else is reading this that has a one-eyed dog (or any dog with blindness), Tanyss's most recent rescue is a one-eyed dog too, so that made me feel much better :) APPOINTMENT/COMMUNICATION: I called on Thursday but they were closed for a staff event; they got back to me asap by text & I ended up scheduling for Saturday afternoon. Elle called when Lily was almost done (only 30 mins later). Their communication is very quick and clear so if you have any questions regarding services, feel free to ask ahead of time! PAYMENT: They accept cash and check, but you get free enzymatic teeth brushing if you pay cash! My dog is 9-10lbs & pricing depends on weight, but for an all-inclusive flea bath (nails, teeth, blueberry facial, gland expression) I paid less than $50 before tip. That is significantly less than I've been charged at other places. Tanyss even explained that with the rising costs of living, they strive to make such services affordable :) MY FEARFUL REACTIVE DOG: was very comfortable here. When I picked her up, Elle (we share a name!!) was holding her & Lily wasn't shaking?? She also wasn't desperate to leave; she was so chill?? Keep in mind this is the same Lily who loses it if I bring her to a pet store (another place that smells like a bunch of dogs have been there). Do not get me started on the vet--this chihuahua acts like she's being deployed. She was confused when we first tried to enter, & Elle (as in not me Elle) suggested I pick her up so she doesn't get out of her harness, which is TOO accurate bc that exact thing has happened to us sooooooo many times. Elle clearly knows dogs, haha. But when I picked her up, she couldn't be more chill! PARKING: So turns out you can stop at the red loading zone right in front for pickup/drop-off, & Elle even explained that if the police pull up, they'll bat for you as a client who was literally unloading a dog, LOL. I didn't see the text about the loading zone & ended up parked a few blocks down the street, because parking in this area is a struggle. Use the loading zone! Save yourself! SUMMARY: Lily has her new grooming place :)))

They take the time to meet your dog, accommodate for which groomer your dog vibes with most to help alleviate any of their stress, communicate with you 30 minutes prior to completion so you could prepare for your pickup in a timely fashion, and send the cutest picture of your dog all groomed! Blue was received clean, relaxed, and happy. 10/10 would recommend!

My Bichon/mini poodle has a super fluffy coat, and I love keeping him in that cute teddy bear style, but most groomers end up shaving him way too short despite my requests. From the very first phone call with Signal Hill Pet Grooming, I knew I had found the right place. The receptionist was incredibly sweet and welcoming, making the appointment process so easy. When we arrived, the groomer, Gloria, greeted us warmly, really listened to what I wanted, and immediately understood exactly what my pup needed. When I picked him up, I was blown away. He looked AMAZING--calm, happy, and honestly like he didn't even want to leave. I love that they're kennel-free, so the dogs aren't locked up before or after grooming. That alone gave me so much peace of mind. This was hands-down the best haircut he's ever had. Not a single nick or cut (which sadly has happened at other groomers), and the entire staff made me feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. He smiled the entire car ride home, and I could tell he knew he looked extra cute I've officially found my go-to groomer, and I couldn't be happier!

I thought…read morethis might be because they changed their process from leaving the dogs out in an open pen to caging them up in the back.

They did not accomadate a simple request, apologize or attempt to emend thier errors.

It was a last minute appointment needed for the little pup and with the help of Yelp, we found Sara. I put in a searched which came up with places for what I was looking for. There were a few places that came up but she was the first to reach out. The sweet conversation explained what I was looking for and she replied professionally with what services they offered. Between a few back and forth we were able to get him in last minute. She squeezed us in day off which we were very thankful of. The place itself was in a mini strip mall with a few other businesses. A thrift/vintage shop, a bar, a few coffee shops, hair salon and nail shop. There's a decent size parking lot but when we arrived it was packed but lucky enough to find a spot. When we walked in, it was a little confusing as it was a vet. The ladies behind the counters were all sweet when we checked in but wasn't sure we were at the right place. Well, it's a vet and groomers on site. It was just a couple minutes wait till Sara came out to greet us. First off, she's such a doll and sweetheart. Very professional and takes pride in what she does. Chatted with here for a little bit about what we wanted before handing over the little pup to her. We were quoted about 2 and half hour or so which she'll call us 20 minutes before hand to let us know he'll be ready soon. Freddie Mercury was in good hand. Picking him up, he was such a cutie. The bathing, cut and grooming was great. Nails were cut and file for that nice finished look. Also he had the cutest little bow tie on which was the little icing on the cake. From the chat on Yelp, Sara explained all the pricing and services ahead of time to give us the breakdown. As it was our first time, she did take good care of us with everything. Total for everything and extra add on including gratuity and discounts for first time, it was just short of 130.00. Price wise for everything was good. It was worth it and her service was very well worth it. Even though we're not from the area and it was a last minute appointment, we're keeping her in our book as we'll be back in town again and know Freddie will be in good hands next time. The place was very professional and clean. There's a drinks section with a mini fridge of drinks and a water station for refilling your bottles and coffee machine. It was busy which is great for them. Sara, a professional and sweet person who has a special skills for what she does. Friendly, sweet and a doll. Highly recommend Sara.
