I like The Dog Spot - my dog goes to them for a quarterly hair cut. She is a toy poodle and comes back looking fresh and smelling good.. The service is great, the prices ok, and there is plenty of parking. The groomers are kind and attentive. I recommend this place. read more

Great, friendly stuff! No extra drama, paperwork, forms and etc - just smooth and friendly walk in walk out service - nail trimmings!

Excellent and clean which is a big deal for us. We had a very fluffy Daphne Cavalier who needed a talented touch - she came out so adorable and they did not take off too much. These groomers are really talented and we will be going beck for their grooms - price is in line and with tip a bit over $100. So happy we found this spot! read more

This place was so helpful and is very reasonable for price. My dog can be scared of baths and this place does really well for her! Go support this small business! read more

The Dog Spot - Pet Groomers Near Me - San Jose, California

I had an appointment yesterday with Lisa. When I arrived another groomer came to pick up my dog to groom him. I had used her before and was not happy with her. My dog developed an ear infection, appointment with vet $1200! Lisa came out and told me she doesn't do large dogs due to shoulder problems. I was not told this when I booked the appointment the week prior. I explained how I wanted him groomed, not a puppy cut, but short, take as much hair as possible. Ears trimmed and feet trimmed, nails trimmed and filed. Attached pictures of before grooming and after. The only difference is his feet. Now today I notice the corner of his left eye area is red and hair gone. Going to the vet read more

Brian and his team are fabulous! Great with my grumpy, little old lady Chloe. I highly recommend this Spot!

Love this place. Lisa ia great! The dogs are both hard to handle but thank goodness for Dog Spot. Highly recommend here and especially Lisa. read more

They are always so kind to my English springer spaniel and do an amazing job with shaving and bathing her! read more

The Dog Spot - Sissy just groomed - Pet Groomers Near Me - San Jose, California

This is the worst place I will not recommend at all for grooming. I have an Australian labradoodle and she had very nice shaggy fur which we used to brush her daily . I came for a simple trim and hair bath and they made her completely bald, they shaved her off saying her hair was knotted which was not at all the case. I am very disappointed and they charged me $180 for this. I don't know if my dog's hair will grow like before we have been to couple other places and they had maintained her fur, unfortunately this was the only option we had as those places has appointments far out :( read more

Been there twice for baths for my pup, however, for the second time, we only scheduled for bath only (clearly stated in the phone and our pup's nails were short) and the staff asked us to pay for bath+nail trim and then told us since it was already been done, we had to pay for it. Unpleasant experience and not will not recommend. read more

We're so happy with The Dog Spot. Lisa does an amazing job with Daisy and Daisy is not the easiest dog to deal with. Thank you Dog Spot. Thank you Lisa ! read more

Update: The Dog Spot Today, my Golden Retriever went in again for a grooming at The Dog Spot and came out happy and beautiful. After a decade visiting and seeing Brian is like seeing an old friend. He is one of those people that everyone likes as he is caring, kind and just a nice decent person. I read an ugly review about him and and his business last night and asked him about it. The customer was angry that the staff all got Covid and they had to reschedule her dog's appointment. When they called to reschedule, she demanded a free grooming and threatened to write a bad review if they didn't comply with her demands. Well, lady the ugly finger points back to you! May your mean spirited nature and unfair attack on this awesome owner and his business come back at you! Learn to be kind and grateful, you may find yourself happier and more understanding. read more

My puppy went in for a basic groom - bath, nail and sanitary trim. We wanted to ensure we exposed him to a grooming experience at a young age as he will need grooming services throughout his life. When making my appointment, I was sure to mention this and would recommend doing the same if you are bringing in a first timer. The intake process is simple, you wait outside and the groomer meets you there to fill out some paperwork. When I picked my puppy up afterward, he seemed happy but had a lot of redness around his eyes and was extremely lethargic. I am sure this was just from the stress of a first experience with the groomer and maybe even some of the products getting into his eyes. I would say the experience was okay overall. I am going to try out some other groomers before booking here again but for a family with a pup who has experience being groomed, this place is probably just perfect! read more

The Dog Spot - Entrance - Pet Groomers Near Me - San Jose, California

We have been bringing our small poodle mix, Benji, to the Dog Spot for 2 years and have been very satisfied. The Dog Spot was recommended by our vet because our pooch is a rescue and had a lot of anxiety for the first year after we adopted him. Lisa is our regular groomer and was sensitive to Benji's anxiety. Lisa is attentive to details and performs a fantastic job each time we bring Benji in for grooming, every 6 weeks. One of the aspects I am grateful for is that the staff keep the front door locked, limiting the ins and outs of clients which could pose the risk for a dog to escape. Due to his anxiety, Benji is a "runner" when he gets scared. The Dog Spot is not trying to keep dog owners from seeing them work - you can knock and be let in - they're just making an extra effort to keep our fur babies safe. I also appreciate that Benji does not smell like he's been sprayed with a chemical scent after his service. He is soft, clean and fresh. Thank you, Lisa and The Dog Spot! read more

Love the way they treat the doggies and I love that my dog gets excited when he goes there. Definitely recommend! Spa day! read more

The Dog Spot has been so wonderful to our malti-poo who has been scarred from Pet Smart with how they handle him. My mom has told me whenever she picks him up from his grooming, he isn't depressed like he used to be. My mom is super happy with his end results. He comes out fully groomed and still looks extra fluffy! read more

Brian did a great job of washing, grooming and trimming nails for our old dog (15+?) as he always does. When our dog Reno strongly resisted being trimmed, even trying to jump off the table, Brian took the time to help him to calm down first then trimmed him quite nicely. read more

Cynthia at The Dog Spot in San Jose (De Anza Blvd.) just groomed Lucy, our two year old Australian Shepherd. She looks beautiful! I dropped her off after having been on a long hike in the rain. She was pretty filthy and needed trimming up also. I was very happy with the outcome. Also, I should add, Lucy doesn't like to be handled, so nice job Cynthia! read more

Friendly staff and they were very knowledgeable about what type of trim is best for my golden. Their prices are reasonable compared with other groomers around my area. My golden was happy and he looked great. read more

The Dog Spot - Our golden with a tight trim. Looking great and smelling awesome. - Pet Groomers Near Me - San Jose, California

I recently tried out this place for my pupper, Kona (miniature Australian Shepherd), and I am so happy with the job they did! Kona's trim looked amazing and they did a really great job all around! On top of that, his fur was super soft and I've never felt it that soft before! They were very attentive to Kona's anxiety and worked to finish him as fast as possible. Their rates are definitely very reasonable for the full service - bath, trim, teeth cleaning, nails, anal gland expression, brush out. Kona felt like a million bucks after his spa day. :) I highly recommend and have already booked his next appointment! read more

I would never go back there. They were very rough with my dog, and shaved her fur so short that she had cuts on her face. The cuts became infected and it was hundreds of dollars in vet bills to take care of the situation. They were in a rush. Rude and unhelpful to me, and not kind or gentle to my dog. She was trembling and traumatized when I picked her up. On the recommendation of my vet, we have been taking our dog to M&J groomers in Sunnyvale and have been happy with them read more

Had an appointment for a grooming scheduled, the lady on the phone told me a specific groomer would be coming in and we were all booked. Showed up to appt- groomer didn't show up and the business was closed/locked. I tried calling many times, no answer. Called the next day again and complained that nobody showed up for my appointment. Nobody tried calling me or letting me know, and I drove all that way for nothing. I asked if I could get a new booking with a discount since I wasted hours of my day driving to a no show appt, they said they would see what they could do and call me back. Never got a call back, never got any communication or apology. Very disappointing and unprofessional service. Hopefully they see this and reach out to amend the situation. read more

We used to love this place. For over a year I brought my dog here, I always left satisfied with the service. Sadly after a while things started to get sloppy, I'm not sure why since there are always the same two guys working and they seemed like they knew what they were doing. The shop wasn't that clean anymore and my dog was coming back home with small cuts in his belly and sensitive areas. The services were taking much longer than usual and my dog was always waiting in crate for God knows how long even though we were always on time to our appointments (my dog is crate trained but there were other dogs who were crying and having anxiety for being inside the crates). We never went again. Sorry guys, dogs come first and you let us down. read more

A friend recommended The Dog Spot and I am so happy she did. They are wonderful and always manage to get us in for grooming. They do a wonderful job on our labrador. read more

The worst groomer I have ever been to. If you want a good groomer take your dog to Critter Clippers. They are excellent! The Dog Spot was dark and dirty. My dog left dirtier and with the same number of mattes than she went in with. Made me wonder if they did anything at all. They are super pricey for terrible service. I would not recommend them to anyone. read more

They shaved my dog raw...twice. What made it worse was that they never said anything when I picked him up.

Brian is great. He has a way with dogs and also a good personality. He's always cheerful and that helps keep the pet at peace. I recommend taking your pet there anyday. read more

The best place for your dog. My Charley is a trouble maker and while he doesn't get in dancing that as close as it gets to it! Brian is amazing and they know their four legged clients the best! read more

TEETH BRUSHING- they do this here! This is a big deal for me not because my dog minds it at home, he doesn't, but I can never do it well enough to rid our golden retriever of his stinky breath. Today I dropped our boy off for a bath, haircut and teeth brushing. Not only did he look SO handsome and happy when I picked him up, but his breath smells amazing! Brian is great with our dog, and is right on time (took him for our 9am appt and finished right at 11am as estimated). The teeth brushing was FREE with a cash payment for the grooming service (vs using credit card), which is a steal. Even if you were to use credit card, it's only $10 to tack on a teeth brushing. Totally worth fresh breath on a super affectionate pup lol. This is maybe our 3rd+ time here and it's been an awesome result every time. Many, many thanks! read more

The Dog Spot - After getting "the works" done at The Dog Spot! So handsome!!! - Pet Groomers Near Me - San Jose, California

Didn't end up getting a service but called here 2 times and left a message and never got a call back. Ended up going to Lushspaw and it was awesome. I waited over a week to see if I'd get a call back and didn't happen. Don't wait and go over to the other place. read more

I love this place--it's so cozy and comfortable and the groomers are incredibly nice. I took my 5 month old puppy for his first grooming and I was super nervous, but the groomers really put me at ease and did a fantastic job. My dog was calm throughout the whole experience and I'm thrilled grooming won't be an issue for my pup, especially not as this special place. Their prices are also fantastic for the Bay Area. Really appreciate their hard work and the great job they do. read more

I took my one year old portuguese water dog, Theo to Shane today. Theo is a handful, and we were told by our previous groomer not to come back. Theo did pull HIS shenanigans- however, Shane did handle and was very nice about it. We are even welcome to come back. Theo's hair cut is top-notch. He looks great. Thank you Shane!!!!! I would highly recommend! read more

There is a reason this place gets all 5 stars. They are kind, compassionate, friendly, professional and very helpful. Milo got his best grooming ever. Shawn was so cool and helpful. Milo came back with a great cut, but most importantly was super happy. The setup is very friendly, clean, quiet. They keep it well organized and calm for the dogs and their owners. Milo has such soft hair after the cut. We are very happy customers. read more

These guys are the best. They are so friendly every time I drop Ace off and he always looks amazing when he leaves!

Really, really happy to have discovered this place. The staff are kind, patient and they do a great job with the cuts. Our dog always comes home happy. Even though I find the rates to be steeper than other places, their service is of a hight quality and I'm happy to pay knowing he is in good hands. Thanks guys :) read more

These guys are great! One of my pups is not a great fan of other humans, and when I went to pick them up, instead of running straight to me, like she normally would, she ran over to Brian. Rare and much appreciated event! Definitely coming back. read more

I've known about this grooming shop for over 10 years and I'm thrilled to see the changes it has recently gone through. My dog loves Brian the new owner (former employee turned owner) and walks right up without hesitation. Brian always greets my dog enthusiastically and by name, a HUGE PLUS TO ME! My dog always smells way better when Brian gives him a bath (I've tried at home before, not worth my time and it's not even close to the results Brian gets). When it's time for his hair cuts Brian always does a really nice job... The place looks so much better now and I love the low key vibe I get. I used to go to petco before but I kept getting a new groomer with varied results. Prices are good, service is good, and my dog likes it here. What else can you ask for? read more

What a great experience! Saw the great reviews on here... then discovered it was 3 minutes from my house! Bonus! My golden doodle came back looking fabulous and they even managed to trim her awful nails which the old place said they couldn't do. Definitely going back. Thanks guys!! read more

My husband and I have brought our dog Stella to Brian at The Dog Spot for a little over a year now. Stella is a 17 pound rescue bichon mix. She has a temperamental personality because she was found as a stray and likely was not treated very well in her previous life. The shelter initially described her to us as aggressive. While we don't find Stella to be aggressive, she does seem to have anxiety and is often very uneasy and nervous around new people and new situations. She is not the dog most likely to win a congeniality award. We have been so thrilled with the quality of care and service that Stella receives from The Dog Spot. Brian is wonderful with her and seems to get her quirky personality. One other aspect of The Dog Spot that we really love is that you don't drop your dog off at 8am and then pick your dog up at 5pm. Your dog only stays for as long as the grooming takes. Thank you for taking such great care of Stella and leaving her looking sharp! read more
