    First time going back after many years, the new owners were amazing with our fur baby. She was taken care of. They explained everything to us since she is certainly a handful. They did a great job and we will definitely be going back. Mavis looked her best ! Gracias

    Klee Kai haircut and groom, blade #4
    Andrea G.

    Ambience: Don't be fooled by the humble decor and minimalist building. It is a small and local business with great groomers and service!! Service: My dogs first time was smooth! Although she is generally well behaved, I feel the groomers and front desk gentleman love the dogs and he was so welcoming. I unfortunately just texted for a "grooming " session but he was able to accommodate me for a haircut which I really appreciate!! When you pick the cut, they can show you a laminated paper with the thickness of the cut of the dog for examples on how short the hair would end up being... labeled 1-5 (5 being the longest hair) . That's super helpful! But I would highly recommend just bringing a photo of the cut you want for your dog bc the groomers will be able to do that style to a tee. I originally picked a blade cut #3 bc I was not sure but ended up showing them a picture of her previous cuts and they advised me it would be #4. When I picked up my pup, she was very calm and although generally well behaved, that does tell me she liked the service and was not scared about being there. Overall, the front desk and grooming service was top notch. When I picked up my fur baby, she smelled soooo good but not an over the top perfume smell. I loved the way the groomers did the style on her! They also give her a little bandana to take home heh. Appointments: very easy to book, they tend to be busy but do always call you back or text back to help you out. They look up your breed to make sure they know temperament and obviously fur texture etc. Price: Honestly, I think their prices are more affordable and for such amazing service that you get. Overall, I paid about $72 including tip for my 11 lb Klee Kai. Typically I see prices at $70 minimum around San Diego for her small size. This all included the bath, anal gland cleaning, ear cleaning, nail trim and a haircut ... and ofc 20% tip. I would recommend a #4 blade for dogs like mine with a double coat and long thin straight hair like that of a Husky. Support this local business bc they are wonderful at their service

    This is her before we take to a Vet

    We adopted a new puppy. She needed grooming so I called this place took us in right away. Explained to them we just recently adopted her and she was a stray. When we picked her up she had all kinds of nicks and cuts. If they were professionally trained they would know how to handle any dog. We are still dealing with the cut they made on her forehead. Costing us over $200 so far. Not going back at all.

    My parents brought their puppy here and I highly DISCOURAGE anyone to bring their dog here. Not only did they injure our dog, they proceeded to try to cover it up with a bandana. I understand that accidents happen, but it's the lack of integrity and communication that prompted me to write a review and warn others

    We love brining our goldendoodle here. He always smells so nice & looks incredible afterwards! He is not the easiest dog to work with but the Dandy Dog has patience with him & always takes him in :)

    Okay, after reading some of the reviews before I was a little hesitant on bringing my babies here. It's 4th of July weekend and I didn't realize until I called on the 3rd of July, no answer (holidays) so I left a voicemail describing my dogs (breed, weight and brief description of what I wanted done to them) they give me a call back July 5th and even have me the same day availability and the very next day. I was surprised because a few reviews said they called and didn't hear back at all. (Doesn't deserve a 1 star review in my eyes because you didn't receive a service, don't argue with me, argue with ya momma if you disagree). ANYWAYS, boyfriend answered the call and spoke with a guy on the phone and he described how the process would work, you drop your pup off, leave your name and phone number and they'll give you a call when your fur babies are ready, super simple & super easy! Fast forward to day of appointment: so upon arrival, I meet Armando and he comes from behind the counter to greet Max (corgi) & Luca (basset) and already remembers their names and gets down to their level to meet and interact with them. Luca is really nervous as this is her very first professional grooming appointment, so her tails tucked and she ends up peeing in the lobby when Armando puts the lead leash on her, but he handles the situation so well! He takes her to go get ready for her bath and he grabs Max next (he's used to grooming)! By the time max goes to the back, I already see Luca in the bath with one of the groomers (: Armando tells me the next steps and I get going. About an hour later, Armando calls that they are ready for pick up. I go pick them up and both of them are so happy and bouncy and I know they feel so good, clean and happy! After talking with Armando for a bit, you can tell that he enjoys his job and cares for pups! The atmosphere with him and the groomers is just feeling like I'm leaving them with family. And this is off FIRST VISIT! He gave me a run though on how my pups did, gave me them first before even mentioning payment & even let me go put my pups in the car first. Some places that I've been to just mention money right off the bat! We will definitely be coming again! Thank you Armando and groomers!

    Grooming

    I took my Yorky mix about a month ago and I have to admit he was a mess and I was thinking (being a groomer in the past) that he was going to be completely shaved, what was my surprise when I picked him up he looked adorable, the groomers really took the time to make sure he looked his best. As per customer service really friendly and communicative. I loved it so much that today I took Ricky and it was great and fast! Really a place to recommend

    Before and after!

    I've been waiting this entire pandemic to bring my mom's dog in. I took her to another groomer once before, and never again. Best groomers in the South Bay Area!

    I brought my Yorkshire and Maltese here, it only took them for 2 hours!!! And they look so cute and happy.

    I took my dog in for the 1st time today and he looks wonderful ! He hadn't had a haircut in over 4 months and his hair was crazy long. Alejandro and family did a great job on my pup and he looks and smells terrific. This is now my to go to place whenever I'm in town.

    Armando was very honest and I felt a little embarrassed, but it is something we will work on together.
