    Absolutely in LOVE!!! Melanie knows how to cut Asian Fusion style grooming
    Sharon P.

    We finally found a groomer in Sacramento who knows how to cute Asian Fusion style!!! 1000 stars all the way! This is only our first time grooming with them but already I can tell we love her and can't rave enough about this place! Where do I start?!! First off, we were devastated losing our groomer who has been our dogs groomer since a puppy. Melanie (groomer and owner) of MELK reached out to us and I am so glad she did. I seen the pictures of the other dogs she groomed and liked her work so we gave her a try. Here are all the pawsitives we like about this grooming salon; - She is the only groomer here with an assistant, Estel who is also very sweet. I look at this as a pawsitive because there are not multiple dogs around, nor more than one dog being groomed at same time. I feel like that can be overstimulating and chaotic. I also don't want my dog being kenneled or around other dogs we do not know! -the salon looks like a daycare, with toys, a fun Photo Booth, and 2 baby gates right at the entrance of the door and going into the cutting area. Which isn't that huge of a space , but I love all the extra safety precautions. -there is a clear contract at the beginning laying down all the rules. Some might find these extreme but I like this because I don't want to be surprised by extra charges in the end. -there's a sweet caregivers touch like a goodie bag with treats, the report card about how our dog did, and a sweet bandana, and photos from the photo booth. Overall, I can tell Melanie and Estel loves what they do and cares about our dogs. Her work is absolutely amazing without me having to give her so much instructions. I did a full body scan and no cuts, abrasions, or nicks on my dog!!! When I picked him up he seemed very happy, I don't see any signs of trauma. Also, the pricing is very reasonable. Now this is all based on one appointment mind you, but we already know we have found our new groomer. Thank you MELK Dog Grooming!

    Melanie is an expert dog groomer with 10 years of experience grooming dogs! While she does an amazing job with Poodles, she also does a great job with other breeds too! She does a fabulous job with my Chihuahua mix every time. Most importantly for me, Melanie is so caring, understanding, and kind to nervous dogs. Most of the time dogs get the entire salon to themselves and she tends to them right away. She is extremely gentle with dogs and takes your dog where they are at. Though my dog is a nervous wreck to get groomed, her attentiveness and care makes him way more comfortable. It makes me happy knowing he is treated so well when there! Melanie goes the extra mile by taking a personalized photo of your dog, a custom hand made handkerchief based on the season, a small bag of human and dog goodies, and a doggie report card. You can feel confident that your dog will leave here with a fabulous haircut and know that your dog was treated with the upmost care and kindness. Support this amazing small business and get your dog's groomed at MELK!

    Wow! Our first experience with Melanie at MELK Dog Grooming was fantastic. We have two "miniature" golden doodles. They're 40lbs each. The miniature part is seemingly not accurate. Nonetheless. We love them and have been looking for a groomer we can work with to keep them trim and looking clean. Fortunately we were given Melanie's information and she was able to fit both our pups in. These images are not the best, but they needed her tlc going into this morning. They look fantastic, and her chemistry with our little ones was everything we hoped. Trusting your little (or not so little) ones is important. We highly recommend Melanie and will continue to return on a regular basis.

    I first met Melanie, the owner of MELK, at another grooming place I would take my dog,Cocoa, to since 2020 and she had been Cocoa's primary groomer. The attention to detail and service I would always receive from Melanie with Cocoa was always outstanding and a main reason why I was so loyal and would make the extended drive every 6 weeks to get my dog groomed. You can imagine how excited I felt when I learned of Melanie opening her own grooming business and it turns out, her location is much closer to my home. I followed Melanie and brought in Cocoa for her first official appointment. As you can see, my dog looks absolutely beautiful and I couldn't be anymore pleased with the outcome. Best of all, Melanie also took the time to let me know how well Cocoa adjusted to the new grooming environment and any areas along the way were Cocoa was a bit nervous. With the previous groomer and now with her own location, Melanie continues to provide my dog a relaxing and safe environment and I will continue to trust her with my dog's grooming needs. Thank you MELK for your services!

    We followed Melanie when she started her new grooming business, Melk Dog Grooming, and could not be happier. Our pups always look amazing. She is so calm and accommodating--especially to our little old man who has some cardiac issues. Highly recommend!

    Hi, I was wondering if you do same day appointments or drop ins for nail trimming?

    Yes, I now have a bathing assistant to help with nail trims. Appointment is best, but walk ins are welcome.

    We have 2 scruffy adopted girls who can be fearful of strangers, and Allie is wonderful with them…read more I let our Shi Poo go way too long in between groomings (sorry Allie), and she does a great job. I drop them off, and sometimes it takes a while when she is busy, but often, there are other dogs to play with. It is cage free (except for cats), so your dogs need to be dog social. The photos don't do them justice, because they are spazzing right now.

    Edit: I am upset with the service, and while I cannot…read morepinpoint whether this red mark was caused by the grooming or was previously there, I will not be returning. I was aware that my dog had a hotspot on her front leg prior to the appointment, but she has never had a hotspot near her butt before. The owner noted after my initial review that this red irritation could be from an anti-fungal shampoo she used, which I did appreciate honesty about. While it's possible this could be food-related, my experience with other groomers has never resulted in an issue like this. We also brought in our other dog, an Aussie, for grooming on the same day and were very happy with her service. However, given my experience with my retriever mix, I will be taking her elsewhere in the future. I found the professionalism in the owner's texts to me after my initial review aggressive, and this is further leaving me with no desire to return. Initial review prior to revisions: I have a retriever mix that I shave down in the spring. I'm assuming the shaver was hot and it burned my dogs skin. Allie was curious as to whether this was a hotspot from her food. While yes, I do feed my dog the purina pro plan chicken and rice, that is the food our vet recommended she go on. Never once has she had a spot like this on her butt. My bf picked her up so I wasn't there to advocate. I feel bad when my pup came home with this raw spot. I put some hydrocortisone lotion on it and it healed in a day. My pup has never came back from the groomers with open wounds so unfortunately, I won't bring my dog back here. I will take her to pet smart where I can watch the groom from the window. I would've really loved a "it's possible it's food but I may have also nicked her skin." Our other dog went in at the same time and she looks great!!! I just care about this pup so much it broke my heart to see this spot

    We recently adopted a pup from Front Street who will absolutely NOT let anyone trim her nails. A…read morefriend suggested I try this place and I am SO glad I did. Alex took her time and remained totally calm as my dog thrashed around, screamed like she was being killed and attempted to eat and claw my face off. When my dog sprayed her anal glands then pooped on the table, she didn't bat an eye. Eventually, we got my pup into a little tiny muzzle and finished up her front paws. I'm so grateful for this place and the fact that they did not once make me feel like a bad pet owner because her nails had gotten so long waiting on a vet appointment. They also didn't charge extra for all of the commotion and anxiety my pup brought along for the visit. This is my new go-to spot for all things grooming!!

    I made a trip over to Bath & Biscuits because we needed to use their services, and before heading…read morethere I did what I thought was my due diligence. I checked the website and even called ahead, and nowhere did I see anything saying they would be closed. Unfortunately, when we got there, there was a tiny sign on the door letting everyone know they were closed for the week for training. We definitely weren't the only ones who missed the memo either. While we were there, other people were pulling up looking for their services as well. I completely understand closing for training. That makes total sense, and honestly, I appreciate a business taking the time to make sure their employees are properly trained. I just wish there had been some kind of notice on the website or the voicemail before making the trip over. A quick heads-up would have saved us, and apparently quite a few other people, from making the drive for nothing. Just something to keep in mind if you're planning a trip over.
