Friendly staff who really do love animals. They do a great job at reasonable price. I'll definitely be back.

I took my miniature poodle here for a haircut and he loved his time there! They have a little play area in the front with all the dogs , so they're not caged up and I was told he did really well with all the dogs. Moreover, his haircut was perfect, and exactly what I asked for (and I gave some very specific directions). Price is on the higher side, but I'll definitely be back. read more

These guys are the best! My Penny always comes back looking beautiful, smelling great, and in good spirits. The place is clean and inviting, and the dogs are not kept in cages, so it's a nice bit of social time for Penny as well. I trust them to take good care of her and and she looks so cute when she's done! Extra points for the sweet little bandana finish. read more

Max is a wonderful guy who took excellent care of Cooper whenever we were in town, he's great with animals and his presence is very calming to the little dogs. Excellent groomer for my little pup too. Thanks Max and Oscar:) read more

First time coming here and I got to redeem my $5 coupon. My favorite part of this place was the staff. The woman at the front desk was warm and welcoming, from the first time we talked on the phone to when I came in person. The store is cute, the dogs have a nice area where they all play after they get their haircut. The haircut included other grooming treatments like glands and nails. The only drawback was that I ordered a "rounded" teddy bear face shape and the haircut made my dog's face look a little smushed, but hair grows back. I would recommend this place for the great service, but I will be more specific next time about the face shape I want. read more

Lucky's is, hands-down, the best groomer on the West Side.... well the best I've tried and I've tried quite a few, Their prices are very reasonable too. The owner, Max, is very nice and my dog has never looked better. This is the only place I will go for grooming from now on. I've taken my furball to Lucky's for day care too and my dog seems really happy when I pick him up. He and Max's dog are buddies! read more

This was my first time taking my maltese puppy to a groomer. Since his puppy coat and adult coat were completely matted together, they had to basically perform a miracle-- and they did! He no longer looks like a homeless pupper, and he even had a blast playing and socializing with the other dogs in the play area. read more

Best groomer ever! From booking the appointment-to requiring no fragrance gentle shampoo, for my very scared dog-everyone was warm, kind, welcoming, knowledgeable. Jenny gave her a fantastic haircut, and she was happy and beautiful going home. I would give them 10 stars if I could! read more

Max groomed my Scottie perfectly! My dog's coat was so shiny and his style was exactly what I wanted! Great price, great service! Best groomer in LA! read more

My pups always leave this place smelling fresh and shedding less. I tend to take them about once a month. The prices are also super reasonable. Can't recommend it enough. It is so hard to find a good dog groomer. So glad that I found luckys. read more

They do an exceptional job of my dog buster. Every single time. He has severe separation anxiety and cries so hard when I walk out that I feel terrible leaving him there. The employees there are incredibly patient and kind dealing with his troubles. I don't know who I would bring my dog to if Lucky's wasn't around. Thank you! read more

Awesome!!! This is hands-down the best groomers on the west side! First of all your pet is not kept in a cage.. they get to socialize and run around with other animals, however they do have a couple of fenced areas if your dog is not sociable. The groomers are excellent and go out of their way to make sure that you're satisfied! Cannot recommend this place enough!!! True animal lovers who strive for customer and animal satisfaction! Give them a try... You won't be disappointed! read more

Grand Slam! Lucky's is the best! They continue to exceed my expectations each time i bring my dog, Oski, there to be groomed. I recommend Lucky's to every pet owner i know. Thanks for being great Lucky's. read more

It is so nice to have a doggy daycare close by that doesn't always fill up! I hope others bring their dogs so my dog can play with more dogs. The owner, Max, couldn't be more accomodating and my dog always is happy to go there. read more

This place is fantastic!!! I have been taking my bosses dogs here for a few months now and they always come out picture perfect. Max, the owner, always lets me know when the dogs have any skin or ear issues and gives me tips to prevent a vet visit. Thank you Max, you are amazing! read more

i have been bringing lucy to max for a couple of years now. he is very personable, great with my baby and always very professional. it is such a relief to be able to trust someone so much with the care of my dog. thank you max! read more

I was very happy with their service. Our 10lb poodle is tricky with all her mats and sensitive skin stuff and they did a great job using very nice products. I would absolutely go back again. read more

I love taking my puppy to Lucky's, the owner Jenny truly loves doggies! The groomers always do a GREAT job and Munchie is very happy to play with the other dogs before and after his grooming. There's a play area so your pet is not cooped up in a cage! Munchie always smells great , they do everything brush his teeth clean ears, squeeze anal glands. Munchie is about 28 lbs now, and ha a wen ciming since a small puppy like 14 lbs. I highly recommend this place ! read more

I want to give an update as this place is under new ownership since my last review. I was going to Max and then he wouldn't take my dog due to his weight, Max had hurt his back and couldnt lift my big boy. I was really happy to see that a new owner, Jenny, has taken over. I have a big Golden Retriever with tons of hair. Jenny gave him a great trim and brushing, and she groomed him exactly as I asked her to. My dog Charlie seemed happy when I picked him up hanging out with the other dogs. I am so happy that this place has a new owner as its walking distance from our house. Prices were good too. Thanks Jenny! read more

They Groomed my little princess Giselle and she looked amazing and was happ. wonderful job,..

Took my Golden Retriever in for a quick grooming and had the most wonderful experience! The staff took great care of my girl, she got a beautiful cut and came home happy, shiny and soft. She looks great and I will definitely be heading back in the future! read more

I took my dog here for the first time today and had such an amazing experience! Carolina was very nice and accommodating when taking my appointment over the phone. My puppy was in and out in only 2.5 hours! She smells amazing, looks adorable, left with a bandana, and seemed really happy when I picked her up. Very reasonably priced for a groomer in the Santa Monica area. Also, they're CAGE FREE! All the dogs get to play around and socialize while waiting for their bath and haircut. I highly recommend this place! read more

Beware of Lucky's. I trusted them to give little Milou a nice summer groom. Instead they cut open his ear in their haste to get their work done. Milou is a sensitive little guy, and to make it appear as if nothing happened they put a clotting agent on his ear. When I voiced my anger over their lack of empathy for my little dude, they demanded I pay full price or they would hold on to Milou. They tried to hold my dog hostage over their incompetence. This is not ok. Please think twice before you stop by Lucky's read more

We only want the best for our fur babies and Lucky's did not disappoint. Staff were amazing and accommodating. They were a great help in deciding on what cut I want for our Lhasa Apsos. I took a risk cutting their hair short since I've always wanted them long. So happy with the result. read more

Took our Yorkie to Max last week and couldn't be happier. Having just moved to LA from DC we were nervous about selecting a groomer for Roxy's first trim on the west coast. Max came highly recommended by you Yelpers and his shop is just 5 min away so we decided to try. Max has a very calm way about him and really cares for his customers. I felt comfortable leaving Roxy there. Picked her up 2 hours later and she looked great. Just what we asked for. And Roxy didn't seem too stressed. We will be going back to see Max in a couple months. Highly recommend. read more

Lucky's was great! They were able to fit me in and my new rescue pup last minute. Very accommodating with great pricing! Will go back for sure! read more

LOVE LOVE LUCKY'S - we are lucky to have such an affordable dog groomer in the SaMo area. They are always going the extra mile to groom Zeus and make him comfortable. THANK YOU! read more

This is the exact opposite of most dog grooming places on the west side: extremely nice staff, reasonable prices, and such a great job with our little poodle Telly. We can't say enough good things and are so lucky we found Lucky's read more

I called and Lucky's was able to get me in about an hour later. They did such a great job with my pup who was getting his first cut! He looks so stinking cute. I'll definitely be bring him back here and recommending this place to all my friends. read more

This is my favorite pet groomer in the Santa Monica/westside LA area by Far. I've been taking my Fur Baby toy poodle "Chanel" for years now. I am very picky when it comes to her grooming. Lucky's never disappoint, unlike other overpriced pet groomers in the area. I would definitely recommend them. Keep up the great work Lucky's. read more

First, I want to preface this review by saying Lucky's Dog Grooming does an excellent job and made an appointment for my boy the same day! I have ZERO complaints about their services and the way my boy looks after he is groomed. Also, all the other dogs in the waiting area are coiffed perfectly and look amazing! However, I took him to be groomed today and I have to say that my interaction with the groomer was less than pleasant. I am currently undergoing treatment for a very serious cancer and have not had the opportunity to take my dog to be groomed. I will admit that he had several places where his fur was matted. Obviously, this is not the way I want my dog to look. I've tried to keep up with his maintenance but it has been difficult for me. When I made a comment to the groomer that I haven't been able to find a brush that works well, she replied "this is way beyond brushing" and "he is going to have to be shaved all the way down". I already knew that he was going to have to be shaved down and wanted him to be as it will be summer soon. I found her comments to be completely insulting! Let's not forget....I AM THE CUSTOMER!!!! I work in the Customer Service industry, if I EVER spoke to a customer that way, I would lose my job! In the end, my dog looked great and a left a tip for the business/groomer. In the future, I would appreciate it if your groomer would keep her somewhat rude comments to HERSELF! You are there to do a job, not be judgmental! read more

Thank you guys! They did a wonderful job caring for my 3mo maltipoo (we got the regular groom + the pampered pet treatment). The staff made him feel right at home and got him back to me 2 hours later all freshly washed and trimmed he smells great and is super duper handsome. Thank you again, and we'll see you soon in a couple weeks! read more

I love Max!!! I've taken my little Pom to him twice now and each time was a great experience. I am one of those paranoid about everything dog owners and was freaking out the first time I dropped him off. Picked him up and he was smiling and gorgeous. Max did such a fantastic job. I was so satisfied that the next time he needed a wash/cut I went back to Max. This time I had him take even more off his coat...man...he was adorable. I HIGHLY recommend Max at Lucky's and hope he never stops grooming b/c I am a customer for life!!!! read more

Just had rescued a sweet little dog at the West LA dog shelter. After his requisite neutering he had some healing time and was ready for his first wash and grooming. Made an appt with Max- brought my boy in and I was hestitatnt because I never left him alone with anyone. Told him the look I was going for and he said to come back in 2 hours. I did and my boy looked so white and clean. We made one little adjustment after I saw him and then it was just right. The price was right too. Will definitely be back!! read more

I was referred to Lucky's by the owner of The Official Dog Walkers and Pet Sitters. After speaking with Lucky's owner (Max), I made a bathing/grooming appointment for my King Charles Cavalier Spaniel (Cooper). Dropped Cooper off in the morning and just as promised Max called a few hours later to tell me that Cooper was done. When I arrived to pick Cooper up, he was as handsome as ever and wagging his tail, which is always a sign that he is happy. Max really did an amazing job with Cooper. Max is detail oriented and has a calm and caring disposition. Thanks Max! Cooper is looking forward to his next "spa day" at Lucky's. read more

A beautiful cut for my Standard Poodle. Very friendly and accommodating. Very clean. Great location in mid-city. Low key shop with top notch grooming. read more

I've been to Lucky's several times. I've been satisfied every time. Sherlock always looks so cute! It's cage free and easy to make an appointment. They enter your instructions into their system so they know what to do every appointment. I highly recommend this groomer! read more

I took my dog Fausto for day care to Lucky's as I had a meeting in Santa Monica. A friend of mine recommended this place with a new owner. It was so close to my meeting which made it very convenient. The owner was friendly and inspired me trust. He was very accommodating to my schedule as my meeting went over the time arranged. When I picked Fausto up, he was so very happy wagging his tail and did not want to get into the car. It gave me a great impression on the kind of care my dog got. The place is very inviting since it is not cluttered and spacious for the animals without a "dog smell." I highly recommend this place for day care. I will try the grooming service on my next visit. read more

We had our dog Smokey groomed for the first time by Max a few weeks ago. From the initial drop off to collection I was so impressed with Max's manner with Smokey and his warm, professional manner with me! As other reviewers have mentioned, he has a lovely way of interacting with animals, very calm and not at all "schmoo schmoo," which I believe any dog would respect and feel comfortable with. The rates for the services he provides are incredibly reasonable, I have no hesitation in saying he is the best animal service provider we have ever met (and we love our vet). And as an added bonus after grooming at Max's? The fur fall that used to cover the entire house has been reduced by at least 80%, even though Smokey's haircut was only a "tidy up" and his hair was still left long. THANKS MAX AND LUCKY'S!! read more

This place was amazing. We dropped our "baby" off for daycare a couple times while we were on vacation in Santa Monica. The daycare was professional and very caring. We definitely felt our spoiled chihuahua was in good hands. Reasonable rates. Highly recommended !! read more
