    Before grooming
    Ashley F.

    Runnnnnnnn! Do not take your pet for grooming here ever!!!! I had the worst experience took my maltipoo and they shaved him down so bad and left him with bald spot patches and left all the hair on his face they didn't want to continue maybe it was for the best but I cannot believe they left him the way they did and still had the nerve to charge me

    I wanted to get my dog some obedience training so I asked Dr. Bory @petvets, his advice is highly regarded. We were told that Barbie at Upland PetSmart is a phenomenal trainer and great person. We have attended beginner and intermediate classes with Barbie and our experience has been awesome. Barbie creates classes that are personable and pay attention to each individual's needs, dogs and people alike. Our dog has anxiety issues and we have made big strides thanks to Barbie's expertise, we had become discouraged prior to Barbie's classes. We quickly understood why Barbie had been so highly recommended. Great person, casual atmosphere, obvious expertise and all around positive and professional experience. We also saw how Barbie is a presence in the operation of the whole store, she would be a valuable asset as a manager for PetSmart. Big thanks to Dr Bory for the recommendation and bigger thanks to Barbie!

    We have been bringing our dogs here for a while now. The initial problem arose when they refused to accommodate one of our dogs because she is handicapped. Though I did not agree, I accepted it. The most recent incident involved them calling us from a veterinary office because they accidentally injured my dog. Today, once again they cut my dog, the same issue occurred but no call this time, and I cannot comprehend their carelessness. Do you really think Petsmart cares about animals? I have no intention of returning to this place again.

    Was in this petsmart shopping around and saw this chinchilla, which looked so sad. They are not taking care of this animal properly as it had no water or food in its cage. I grew up with two chinchillas and know how to take care of them. They need to have a dust bowl to roll in for their fur/hygiene. The cage was filled with poop. Please if you're in this location say something to the workers, this is not okay. I tried speaking with someone there but they were a new employee and didn't have an answer for me. The store was very busy at the time I went. This is unacceptable for an animal

    I took both of my dogs to Petsmart Upland for training after reading great things about Barbie! She did not disappoint!! This girl has a magic formula for getting dogs to listen. Although I will never be as good as her, she always had a brilliant suggestion for any issue you have with your dog. Lucky is now 2 YO and is such a good boy! Lila is still a puppy but is pretty good too!

    This is my favorite pet store. I am an avid fish lover. I started off with my 75 gallon tank with the help of the wonderful staff of this particular PetSmart. I wish I could remember all the names but I promise to update this as soon as I find out all of the names starting off with Edward. The ladies were as knowledgeable and helpful too. I keep coming back for more that I really have to control myself or I'll end up over crowding my tankful of GloFish. :)

    Cut up
    Griselda C.

    Honestly have been bringing him here for the past 5 years and these last 3 times I have taken him either the girls in grooming have horrible attitude and he has come back the last 2 times cut up. He is not a fussy dog at all.

    We've been going to that other "smart" store for over five years to have our dog's nails trimmed…read more Ever since, they've told us that we can just walk in and they will do the trim. The most we've ever had to wait is about 15 to 20 minutes. Today, was no different, walked in at 10:15a, let them know that we needed a nail trim, the associate said that the earliest they can get us in was not till 12 PM without an appointment. An appointment? I explained to them that in the five years we've been going to them for nail grinds (which is pretty frequent) we've never had to make an appointment. That's when she said that making appointment has always been in place. So, I walked out, came over to The Good Dog. The General Manager greeted us, even while working with another customer. Listening how he handled the other two customers in front of us (who appeared to be regulars) set the tone that this is a friendly place that we want to be a part of. You know, it's like "Cheers," you wanna go where everyone knows your name! Well, they were able to get us in right away. They advised we typically do not need to make an appointment for nail grind, but to simply call up to make sure they are not busy at the moment, otherwise can get in quickly. I think that's reasonable, fair enough AND smart! "Thanks, Good Dog!"

    Edit 7/2/2026: The owner reached out to me and was very apologetic and sincere in his replies. I've…read moredecided to improve my review for that reason. They offered medical wipes for my dog's injury and a complete re-grooming with a different groomer. I chose not to continue patronage, but the offer and continued open communication was very appreciated. Original Review: This is the first time I've been to this location and decided to go here due to the large number of good reviews. They were able to fit my appointment in very last minute, less than 24hrs notice, super friendly staff, and lots of merchandise. Also great cut options avaliable for someone new, trying to figure out what a new groomer can do with a new client. Asked them to brush his teeth and grind his nails, to which they accomplished (at least his breath smells better). With that said, I was told they would contact me 20 minutes before he's ready for pickup, they did not. They messaged me when he was done. No big deal. When I picked him up, immediately noticed the uneven cut job. As we're driving home, noticed A BUNCH of dirt left in his coat. Makes me question if they bathed him, and if they did, they didnt do a good thorough job. Also started to notice the uneven cut throughout his body, from his stomach where they left bunches of fur, to his back, which seemed as though they used two sizes for razors. They cut him (most likely by accident) but just reinforces my suspicion that they rushed through his entire "grooming". For the $100 package, counting $15 for dental/nail grinding, I can't say I'm not disappointed. Unfortunately, will not be coming back. Sincerely disappointed :( I will have to bathe him again, give him a complete haircut, and finish areas they didnt even attempt too, such as the hair under his nose going into his mouth.

They look out for my dog and ask each time what I'd like done from anal glands to length trimmed off. I have a nervous dog who has been traumatized by other groomers, and this place has definitely helped my pup feel more comfortable. So glad to support a local business in Claremont!

    Horrible Horrible Horrible!!!!! Avoid this place at all costs!!! I have wanted to write this review…read morefor months because every time I look at the pictures from this grooming appointment, I get angry all over again. I brought my dog Bentley to Hair of the Dog after being referred by a friend when my regular groomer was temporarily unavailable. Bentley has been professionally groomed his entire life and never had to be shaved. He has been groomed consistently since he was 8 weeks old and, in the year and a half I've had him, he has never once been shaved down. From the moment I walked in, the experience felt off. The staff was rude and dismissive, and after I arrived, I was informed that Bentley had to be picked up by 1:00 p.m. because they were closing early that day. This was never disclosed when I booked the appointment. I specifically told them I was driving to Irvine and would have difficulty getting back that quickly. Frankly, if they had special hours that day, that should have been communicated before the appointment was accepted, not after I had already dropped my dog off. The groomer then told me Bentley was matted and needed to be shaved. We actually argued about. I explained that he had been groomed regularly his entire life and had never needed that before. Even so, I tried to compromise and told her that if some shaving was necessary, I absolutely did not want him shaved all the way down to the skin. About 20-30 minutes after I left, they called and said he was ready. Think about that. After insisting my dog was so matted that he needed to be shaved down, they somehow completed the entire groom in roughly 20-30 minutes. Because of the surprise pickup requirement they imposed, I wasn't even able to pick him up myself. I had to arrange for someone else to leave what they were doing and go get him because I was still in Irvine exactly where I told them I would be. When I finally saw Bentley, I was shocked and upset as was he for months. It definitely affected his demeanor he walked around depressed and seemed like a completely different dog. They had shaved him almost completely to the skin. It was nothing close to what I requested, nothing close to what I expected, and completely ignored the concerns I expressed beforehand. To make matters worse, his nails were not properly addressed, and within a couple of weeks I had to take him to the vet because of issues with his anal glands which they never even asked me about . Whether those issues should have been identified during grooming or not, it only added to my frustration with the overall quality of care. The worst part was feeling like no one listened. I trusted them with a dog that is a member of my family. Instead, I felt rushed, dismissed, pressured into a decision I wasn't comfortable with, and then ignored when I specifically asked them not to shave him down. Months later, his coat is still growing back but no where near what his beautiful coat was he has been growing since a baby I will never bring Bentley back, and I absolutely cannot recommend Hair of the Dog based on my experience. Steer clear of these mean people!!!!!
