    Cleaned up!
    Denise M.

    Janae and Omar are the best. They care for our family dogs grooming needs but, most importantly understand she is not dog friendly and accommodate her emotional needs too! They are the best pet grooming place that can be trusted. I took my dog to another place year ago and she looked scared and terrified upon picking her up .. it's a blessing to have Pet Salon by Janae.

    This place is clean and cozy. Janae does a great job in grooming my NitroDog, his fur can get all matted and his claws are sharp but Janae sure knows how to handle him and not traumatize him like I do. This place is a gem! There's a reason I leave it to a professional coz if it was up to me, I'd shave my Yorkie till he looks like a hairless cat. I took him once to Petco in Atwater and never again! So glad I found this place. Whenever NitroDog comes home after getting groomed by Janae, he is happy, he looks studly and clean.

    Just moved to Merced and I was trying to find a new groomer and I'm glad I brought my dog here. Thank you Janae and your husband as well for a pleasant experience dropping and picking her up

    indie always comes home looking stylish!

    i love love love The Pet Salon by Janae! it truly shows they love animals so much and put care and effort in all of their work! my lil doodle hates her eyes being cleaned by the manage to get her cleaned up every time! and my high energy puppy comes home EXHAUSTED every time. love that they let the pups run around all day and don't have them tied up :)

    She groomed my baby exactly how I asked her to. She is a very personable groomer and I felt completely safe leaving my pup in her hands. After picking up my pup I asked a lot of questions on how my dog did etc and she answered everything. Already booked with her again for her next grooming! After a not good grooming experience elsewhere....this experience was a breath of fresh air. We found our forever groomer with janae. Thanks again!

    Janae is absolutely the best at what she does. I have been taking my Maltipoo to her for about a year now and I will never go anywhere else. Customer service is amazing and her services are great!

    We wouldn't just take our dog to anyone. Mauji is comfortable with Janae and she did amazing with him. I didn't have to wait for an appointment not too long for him to be done. Janae checked in with me to make sure he got what needed to be done and gave him individualized attention down to his mohawk and nails.

    Hebe the Auggie. She gets a shorter trim now and it's awesome!!!!

    Janae took My labradoodle Bear in a minutes notice after a horrible experience at Petsmart which resulted in a super haggard cut a couple of years ago. She was working for another groomer at the time. I followed her to her own shop. Her and her husband are amazing with Bear. He's getting better and better about the whole process...even after a dozen times he's still skittish from PetSmart. He can't stand it when people touch his paws after that experience from PetSmart, even by us at home. He was thoroughly traumatized by that experience. Janae is so patient with him. Now, I have her trimming my 8 month old Auggie, who's Bear's best friend. I loved hearing how Hebe keeps watch over Bear and seemingly helped to calm him down. Great memories and it's a joy to hear. On another note, it seems I regularly forget appointments even with her confirmation texts the day before. She's accommodating and I can't thank her enough for it. If she were to move to another city, Bear and Hebe will follow her!

    See all

Right after picking him up we went to the gym and we were there for a few hours. He slept the whole time. Then when he turned to the side and I picked him up that's when I noticed the bad wound he had on his leg. Immediately I went back to let them know I was very upset and this had been the second time that he had been injured where nobody discussed it with me and told me. I told them I wanted my money back and I will never go back there again. The gentleman took a picture send it to the Groomer and she denied it and said that it never happened and that he did it Oliver did it! I was very emotional and I cried there was no sympathy from either one of them they were not gonna give me my money back and they kept saying they didn't do it when obviously they did... I was very upset and they were not gonna give me my money and I told them I was gonna call the police. I was not gonna back down on this since they did it they were trying to make it look like I did it to Oliver and I was trying to get my money back. Like I said this is the second time they've done it the first time it was different I forgave them and they were like oh sorry I forgot to tell you, but now that they're saying they didn't do it and they weren't gonna give me my money back that's the time that I said no more of this crap It's not fair to Oliver and it's not fair to me. While I was crying I said please just give me my money back I will never come. so of course he walks away then he handed me the $55 and says make sure you tell the next Groomer he's a biter and don't ever come back, which I told him when I first walked in I am never coming back to this place.. plus it always smelled and hair was always around it's not a well kept business. Anybody that hurts and inflict pain on your injured animals they are not good people and they're liars!! so if you're smart you won't do business with this place there's a lot of other businesses that will treat your dog a lot better and not hurt them. Beware of Bark And Biscuit!!!!!!!!!!!

I felt bad for my Sombra even tho SHE was going through a change, and only me, her mommy, had to act very, very fast to try and figure out how can I get her back to feeling somewhat better temporarily. I couldn't wait for Amazon to deliver a day or two later. I called Petsmart Merced, spoke to Jonathan and he quickly guided me with some products they may have in stock. Once I arrived, another staffer directed me to the right isle and I was able to view what I believed my kitty needed but I needed Jonathan's feedback too and WE both picked up the same product. Thank Jonathan and team for your assistance to this urgent matter. I would recommend my family, friends and newcomers to Petsmart Merced. Everyone have a wonderful day! Yes, I am calling around for my kitty to be spayed soon I hope. It killed me to see how my Sombra was suffering going into heat.

It's especially helpful if you live in a small apartment or don't want to deal with fur clogging your sink or tub at home. The tubs have latches to help keep your dog secure, which definitely helps if your pup isn't the most well-behaved during bath time (like mine). The facility provides soap, towels, and dryers, which is great, although I like that I can bring my own products since my dog has itchy skin. The staff has always been sweet and helpful, which makes the experience even better. They're welcoming, attentive, and happy to assist if you need anything. The stations make it easy to rinse and wash your dog without making a huge mess, and the whole process is much simpler than trying to do it at home. Even when my dog gets impatient by the rinse-and-dry stage, it's still far less stressful than bathing her in my apartment. After five years of coming here, it's still my go-to spot. I'd definitely recommend it to other dog owners looking for an easy, clean, and practical bathing solution.

It is so great to have somewhere that is warm and inviting for both myself and my puppy. Everyone that works there that I've come in contact with was super nice and professional and very, very helpful and great with dogs. The store was clean and I love that they had pet supplies and great treats for the babies. Every time I get the chance, I tell everyone they should totally try and go watch their dogs here instead of trying to do the doggy wrestle in their tub or in their backyard. If you have not been, it's worth the trip. I love the fact that it's one price and I get to use all of their equipment and shampoo and conditioners. The raised beds with the steps for the dogs to use are wonderful. I went to another place to use their dog wash and they did not have steps so I had to lift up this 30 pound puppy wiggling trying to get her in the tub. The steps, the raised tubs are so great on your back .
