Referred by a friend to Zen Pet Grooming 3 years ago. Noriko does an amazing job and has a gentle way with pets. Our mini goldendoodle is always excited to visit and comes home looking adorable with freshly cleaned teeth (very difficult to brush). Highly recommend, competitive pricing and great service. read more

My review is extremely long overdue. I've been bringing my senior Siberian Husky here since 2021. He's 12. I washed my dog myself prior and I just couldn't put the same time and effort to grooming him myself anymore with my back injury. I know Siberian Huskies are no easy task. = I remember his first wash was a doozy and overdue for a grooming. They took such incredible care of him and he looked so handsome. I laughed when I saw the both of them covered in his fur when I picked him up. They even pointed out that his skin allergy was flaring up and recommended a cream for me to try. He's so fluffy it can be hard for me to catch it early and also turns out he had Thyroid issues that flares up his skin too. It showed me they really care a lot and took time with our old man. I knew I found our forever groomers! They even take an adorable photo of your pup and give the cutest bandanas or even a tie! I loved getting his photos and loved seeing how adorable he always came out. They always do such an amazing job and I know how hard huskies can be. They offer a extra tidy option and I always chose it since they clean up his fluffy bubble butt and trim up a bit. Sorry no pics of my dog's butt but they were were so detailed! Earlier this year the old man passed and Noriko and her Husband reach out to me since Diesel hadn't been in a few months. His health was declining and he left us in a little over a month ago. When they found out they sent me his last grooming pic and a little keepsake with his fur with a heartfelt card. I was extremely touched that they would go out of their way to do that for us. When we open our arms to another dog we will 100% choose Zen Pet Grooming again. They've been nothing but incredible every time I've brought my senior dog there and I'm forever grateful for their kindness. Look how handsome our boy was after every cut! read more

Great experience. They were very caring and careful with our anxiety ridden dog. At the last groomer he had to wear a muzzle and stressed the whole time. But today, with Zen he was comfortable and cool and didn't need a muzzle. We are ver thankful ! read more

I first met Noriko & Masa via a Facebook post by Julie Lim, owner of OC Wine Mart. Later when I sensed my wife's want to bathe our dogs, I mentioned there's a new groomer in town I'd like to introduce. Being the same countrymen, they hit it off immediately. As for the quality of their grooming, it's every bit at you would expect from Japan; excellent quality of care. read more

I have bringing my dog here for a while now and I have nothing but great things to say. My dog is very anxious and does not let anyone touch him, but they are always so patient and kind with him despite his tendency to try to bite them. He always looks great after he's had a bath and a fresh cut. They are usually very accommodating with their schedule as well. Would recommend them to anyone! read more

Our initial few visits to Zen Pet Grooming was great but towards the end it became a bit disappointing. Noriko and her husband were really sweet and welcoming and really loved our dog which made us feel great.. but in our last visit we brought it to their attention that his haircut was uneven and he had rashes all over his skin from the irritation from cutting too close (pictures attached). She had apologized and offered ointment but there was no offers to fix the haircut or have any follow ups on how he was doing. Today we decided to try them again since they are usually so kind but first my phone call/voicemail was ignored and when my significant other called back with a different number, she was a little rude towards the end. I am disappointed because we really liked this place but it seems their quality of work and customer service has decreased. ******** Update: In response to the owners comment below, we've taken our senior dog to plenty other groomers who had no issues giving a proper haircut. Also I find it ridiculous at the fact where she wrote at the end "if you are looking for a good quality haircut, this is not the place for you" ... you read that right folks! Coming a place that is a certified grooming salon. Stay away. read more

I am amazed at how the groomers here handle my pshyco dog during nail trimming! They have turned a highly stressful experience into something so easy. My dog Coco HATES having her nails trimmed, but this place made it so much easier for both of us. We have moved our grooming here for both of our dogs and I absolutely love the staff! Scheduling is easy, the facility is clean and very Zen, and the prices are totally reasonable. We love Zen Grooming - Highly Recommend!! read more

Zen Pet Grooming is a fantastic establishment and Noriko was very friendly towards myself and my dog. My dog Milo is normally skittish but Noriko was still able to handle him and provided a great experience for the both of us. His hair was long and extremely clumped/matted but she was able to fix him right up! 100% will be back and will be recommending to others. A lot of great reviews for this place and we are no different. read more

Noriko did de-shading and extra- tidy trim for my 2 yrs old husky yesterday. Nami was a little nervous to go in at first ( Since her first time was kinda traumatic with Petco when she was a puppy) When we first arrived, Noriko greeted us right away with the warmest welcome, we felt comfortable leaving our little girl to her. Noriko was super patient and careful during the whole grooming process. Thank you Zen Pet Grooming! We are all ready for the holidays! If you are reading this review and wanna try a new salon! Call them to make an appointment! Trust me they are the most heartwarming, patient, and careful pet grooming in the area. Worth 30mins drive! Only the best for our furry babies! read more

I am going to speak VERY highly of this place for our first visit!!! I emailed first to get information as this was my first time to a groomer, and also first time taking our newly adopted dog! They answered all of my questions and told me when they can do a consultation. We took our dog, Chewie, in and immediately our dog felt comfortable with them! Because our dog is adopted he was found as a stray and is reactive which we were worried about! We made our appointment and 40 minutes later we got a call letting us know Chewie was doing amazing and that he would be ready for pick up in 20 minutes! Our boy was so comfortable with the owners and I couldn't be happier! Their dog, Wasabi, kept Chewie company as well which made my heart happy that Chewie made a new friend! We will continue to bring Chewie to them and would highly recommend this place! read more

I usually take my Husky to PetSmart grooming, so Zen Pet was definitely more expensive than I was used to, but my girl came back looking better than ever, dry, soft, smelling great, and no longer shedding. They treated her well and she was not as desperate on pickup as she usually is. read more

Absolutely amazing!!! I've taken my dog to many different groomers and Zen is by far the best!!!! read more

I brought my cat Mimi for the shampooing and grooming today and now she is nice and fluffy! I dropped her off in the morning, picked her up during the lunch break, and she was so happy. I was not sure if she could handle it since she is 10 years old and was her first time, but Noriko and Masa made it to happen! Noriko and Masa are super kind and nice couple, they took time to make sure Mimi feels safe and comfortable. I'm sure my cat was treated like a princess :) Highly recommend!!!! read more

Super thrilled to have found such wonderful, kind, and gentle groomers! Noriko and Masa are a husband and wife team who just opened up Zen Pet Grooming a couple months ago. Chin Chin was their only customer today because nobody knows about them yet. She usually shivers with fear at the groomers but this time she was so relaxed like she had been to a Spa. She was a Happy Camper! They offered a choice of shampoos and even cleaned most of her tear stains. Please support this new, local, family-owned business. They are doggie whisperers! read more

Brought the doggos in for a grooming today. It was our first time here. Service was friendly and you can immediately tell that the owners love pets! Ninja (Yorkie) and Fritz (min schnauzer) got bathed and groomed. Star (minpin) got a bath and her nails done, painted pink of course! All three of them came out soft and smelling so clean. You also get a discount if you bring in 3 dogs together, any discount helps! We'll be back for sure. read more

We always have a hard time grooming our Yorkie on our own since he has a very soft hair (blade does not trim at all) but this place is super! Finish is exactly as we wanted and coat is shiny smooth great customer service, very friendly, we love it here wish i can give more than 5 stars! Our other two had shampoo & clay mask service and turned out very nice! They have several shampoo options so even if your furry friend has some allergies or sensitivity to a certain ingredient, they'll assist you in choosing the right one :) thank you, we'll be back! read more

Washing my Siberian Husky is tough at home because of all the fur he sheds. It gets everywhere and he always looks clumpy when I wash him myself. I brought Yuki to Zen Pet Grooming this morning and they gave him a thorough de shedding and wash and he came out looking 10 lbs lighter and three shades whiter! Love my clean boy. Thoroughly recommend this new grooming salon! A+ read more

There are many reasons this venue has 5 star ratings and you should bring your dogs here! Noriko and Masa are so nice and super kind/gentle with the pups. I can get both dogs groomed simultaneously and with dedicated time (usually 2 hours or less). They stick with their estimate and don't add on charges later. One dog has IBD and can't have any treats, and I have fragrance allergies. Treats and spritzers are for owners to give and are kept on a table at the entrance. They have a variety of shampoos based on your dog's needs. After your 2nd visit, they will give you a picture of your dog (the 1st time it stays up on their wall). The cuts are as good as any other groomer and if something didn't get done the way you wanted, it's because the dog showed signs of stress and they respect it by not causing further agitation. Love this place! read more

150% RECOMMENDED!! I just found a wonderful new dog groomer! Zen Pet Grooming is a new pet grooming salon, and I gave it a shot since I had been grooming my dogs by myself for years because I couldn't find the groomer that I can trust and be satisfied. But Zen Pet Grooming is by far the best dog groomers I've met in Orange County! Today, I took my dogs for shampoo and haircut at Zen Per Grooming. When I picked up my dogs, I immediately loved their grooming skills and made my dog so pretty!! My dogs were very happy to be clean and cute! They are Japanese groomers (that I am looking for also) , and you know Japanese are very good with their hands, don't you?! *wink* ;) I am super satisfied!! They are not only professional but also very caring. My short hair chihuahua got his shampoo done (His first salon debut!). The groomer told me that she didn't dry him 100% because he got scared of the dryer and she didn't want him to be stressed out. I appreciated the groomer who thought of my dog's feeling! Zen Pet Grooming gives each pet with so much love and care as if they are their own! They are a bit far from my house, but definitely worth to drive for pet grooming. I am sure that I will go back with my dogs! Thank you very much, Zen Pet Grooming! read more

I'm so thrilled that this place opened up so close to my house. Do the groom well... heck yes! But more than that you can tell how much they truly love pets. They are wonderful with my girl and so friendly to people too. My dog not only isn't scared to go in, but gets excited. Thank you for caring for my pup and making her look and feel pretty. read more

As a huge animal lover trusting just anyone with my little one's isn't easy. After meeting the owners and seeing how they interacted with them I was quickly put at ease. My two cats Mia and Kuro have the hardest time taking baths! I have the scars to prove it. I don't know how they did it but their fur is now silky smooth. That alone gains my respect! I could tell that they really care for the animals they see. My dog Strider always looks handsome, but they managed to make him look even better by trimming the hair around his eyes and adding a great looking scarf. When it came time to pick them up they weren't scrambling to the door to leave like every other place I've been to. They seemed so calm and content. P.S. Thank you so much for all that you've done to make my little one's happy! read more

Noriko did a fantastic job with the haircut and dye! Her and her husband were very friendly and provided us with A+ service. My dog Pan can be a little difficult to deal with (he moves around a lot during grooming) but they took really good care of him. Definitely recommend Noriko to anyone who's looking for a great grooming experience for their fur baby!! read more

Zen Pet Grooming - After haircut - Pet Groomers Near Me - Placentia, California

I was very nervous about taking my little fur baby Miley for a haircut since she's very anxious and barks quite a lot. I was expecting her to bark her tail off when entered but to my surprise she was quiet. Even when she was approached by Masa and Noriko, she did not bark. What this tells me is that the energy at Zen Pet Grooming is truly Zen itself. They spoke so soft and gently, I wasn't even the client and I was relaxed. Noriko asked how I wanted her hair to be cut and went over each area with me. They have pricing listed in their folder of services and information when you enter (located on the table) but I was given a price quote over the phone when I called to make an appt. All in all I'm just so happy that I found a place where I can trust my fur baby to be taken care of without worrying if she will be treated poorly. Thank you so much Noriko and Masa. We will be back soon. read more

I would have to say that I am so glad I chose to take my dog to board at this location. This spot was very patient with me being a first time boarding there feeling nervous about my baby girl, answering any questions I had.The service was great and the staff was very patient and caring. Will definitely bring my dog back when I need a place to board my girl. read more

Our Gigi loves Zen! They are so gentle with her considering she is a very skittish girl. They have called me during one of her appointments to tell me they are going to take longer with her because she was shaking a lot and very fearful. That shocked me that they actually take the time to go at her pace instead of rushing. I love her different bandanas she comes home with and they give me a printed photo of her as a keepsake! How sweet is that! I also love how I typically can get same day or next day appointments! read more

Overall, happy with my experience here! I took my poodle mix in for a full groom. I was very particular about my pup's cut, so thank you Noriko for being accommodating. She was also transparent with her pricing and process, which I appreciate. The drop-off and pick-up process was painless. If you're a new customer, you'll be asked to sign a waiver and provide vaccination records (standard across grooming facilities). I felt very safe handing my pup over. Everyone was masked, and there was a large clear shield blocking off the desk area. I received a call about 30 minutes before my pup was ready for pick-up. When I arrived, he was already waiting out in front for me with a cute little scarf. I would recommend coming here if you're looking for a new place to get your pet(s) groomed! read more

Amazing people that work here! My dog's nails are extremely difficult to trim. I've had multiple groomers try at the big box stores that have given up because of the difficulty. With Noriko's speed and precision, she was able to pull it off today! I couldn't believe it! Zen pet grooming has earned my business!! read more

My little fur baby loves it here! I've taken her to a few groomers and Zen is the first place that she loves. She always comes back so pretty, relaxed, and her fur is so soft. I highly recommend Zen. read more

Just had my first experience with Zen Grooming! (located where Grooming Tails was on Orangethorpe and Richfield) where I was a long time customer. Let me just say, when you first walk in, you have the sense of calm right away. There is a wonderful aroma, and relaxing music in the background. Not sure how they did it, but my Madi came out great and is the first time she hasn't scratched like crazy after a grooming and was so relaxed. Excellent job on her nails as well. Give them a try! You won't be sorry!!! read more

We have a seven month old toy goldendoodle named Ellie. Back in October we took her to Zen for her first haircut. With her long puppy fur she looked like a rag-a-muffin! When I picked her up, she was the cutest thing ever. She was trimmed exactly as we had requested. Today she got her second trim and we couldn't be happier. Zen is our groomer of choice and we'll be back whenever Ellie needs a trim. read more

Just wanted to post an update because I love this place so much! My dog has been coming here every two weeks for over a year now. The owners, Noriko and Masa are truly the best groomers ever, and are so loving. I don't know what we would do without them! My dog, Darwin, always looks amazing, and Noriko always communicates what she feels is best for Darwin- I completely trust her. I plan on taking Darwin here every two weeks forever. Zen Pet Grooming has become like family. Thank you so much for all that you do. read more

Our dog is fresh, clean, and fluffier than when he was a puppy. He smells amazing and is extremely happy (not the usual shivering mess that tends to bite when threatened). We picked up him up one hour after dropping him off and he was legit, chilling on the front lady's lap. My mind was blown. I will definitely be going back. Plus, they are a family business so I can support local! Thanks guys! read more

Zen Grooming has been amazing for my fur baby! You can really tell Noriko and her husband care a lot. I have seen nothing but kindness and positivity. I feel safe leaving my dog with Norico.

Hope this place improves I debated about writing this review because the young lady was nice. But she is an awful grooomer. Ive had 6 dogs in my life and never has one of my dogs haircuts been this terrible. I told her what i wanted 5-6 times thinking she knew her job. My dog is a specific breed and we didnt ask for anything too demanding.. she took offf alll OF THE DOGS WHISKERS, and all of the eye lashes. What dog groomer does this? Rule#1 is to leave the eye lashes. I cant believe this girl has a license to cut pets hair, she did a disgusting job on my boy. The only consolation i have is that the hair will grow back. I didnt have the heart to be rude to her when i paid but the job was the worst groooming I have ever seen. She doesnt seem to have a passion for grooming pets, she just did whatever came to mind. she needs to go back to grooming school or find a new trait because this is not okay. Please do not come here save yourself the money and sadness of seeing your pet looking a hot a$$ mess. read more

The owners of this place are so nice! They treat my dogs so gently and are fast, efficient and do a wonderful job every time I go! My dogs are very bonded and I usually take them together. One was having surgery so she had to go without the other. The next visit I had to take the other one alone. Both times the groomers were extra kind and understanding. We will only take our beloved pups here!! read more
