So soft & adorable!
Brenna R.

Laura is so sweet and nurturing, not to mention an amazing groomer. She spent time getting to know my fur baby and making sure he was comfortable. Great communicator too!

They've always taken amazing care of our furry friend and he's always excited to see them. He returns to us with a fresh 'do and so happy. For a few days after his grooming appointment, he keeps jumping in the tub, so he must love his washes there! We've boarded him here a couple of times and he has his friends there which is so nice. It's great to know that he's in good hands when we're away! Couldn't recommend them enough!

Last night I called 6 places to find a cat groomer but everyone only grooms dogs not cats! Finally after calling around I found this place in Poway and Laura said she would groom my cat Maeve so we had an appointment scheduled the next morning. I took my baby in this morning and I was greeted outside the entrance and felt really welcome. When Maeve was almost done I got a text so I headed over and she was waiting for me!! my kitty's fur was sooo soft, my entire car smelled so good from the smell of my cat, and she seemed like she enjoyed the whole experience because she was calm on the car ride home. It was nice to try out a local business, thanks Laura and Chad for taking care of Maeve. i will be back next time!!

Laura is the best Groomer in Poway. My dogs have special needs I always feel that they are in good hands. She's just the best.

Best Groomer in Poway. My dogs have special needs and Laura is so good with them. My dogs like to go they know they look good. Mine are the two white dogs in the picture. So glad I found her.

Jennisse gave my dog a perfect cut and he was happy to go there. This says alot since Jasper is very timid about going to places.

Laura recently gave my 4-1/2 month old puppy her first "Airedale cut" and I could not be more pleased with the results!

What a wonderful place for a doggie staycation! And such peace of mind for their families!! THANK…read moreYOU KIm. Kim is very knowledgeable, understanding and experienced in caring for precious fur babies of all sizes. We left our elderly 14lbs schnoodle in her capable hands for 10 days and Bailey not only thrived, she came home calmer, happier and looking/feeling better than we left her I think! Kim treats every client as a VIP, or VID I should say. We were updated daily with great photos and anecdotes. Kim is also a professional photographer and sent us samples of her work (it's great) with reassuring messages to soothe and entertain the anxious owner/pet parent. I am so very happy to have found her and so is my precious Bailey. 5 star resort for doggies and what a GREAT business owner.

Thank you a million times Kim!!!! I have boarded my (crazy) Boston terrier almost monthly with Kim…read morefor about a year now and have nothing but amazing things to say. My dog is super high energy and can cause a ruckus at times however Kim has been nothing short of great with him. Kim is responsive, kind and more than communicative. I always have peace of mind when boarding Cinco and receive pictures and videos throughout his doggie staycay. Kim is always flexible with my schedule and offers great prices for the wonderful experience that me and my dog receive when boarding. Kim cares about each and every dog that she looks after and it really shows through her photography work. Highly recommend.

No need to asses our dogs until we are clear we want them to stay there, right? It's a "requirement" that we all know the boss can easily accomodate. We let them know with our 4 large breed dogs it was a lot on ourselves AND the dogs to have to bring them in just for that (if it wasnt a good fit). They didnt care. Just sent another business to go to if I wanted a "phone consult" which was unusual(&manipulative :/) because we never discussed phone consults..all we wanted was to come take a peak at their facilities. It was the male who's voice is on their answering machine whom we communicated with. I think his name was Dan? Aweful & too bad;).

I am truly amazed and so grateful for Don, Gabe, and the team at Crafty Canine Club. They have a ton of certified experience and have done fantastic behavioral modification work with my French Bulldog (and myself) in their board and train programs. I have learned to be a better leader for my dog and how to keep him mentally balanced so he's at his best. The structure of the training programs and regular boarding at CCC are solid and well planned so our furry family can learn and have fun in a safe environment while in the care of strong leadership. A bonus in my particular case; CCC techniques are aligned with what is recommended by my board certified vet behaviorist and was covered by my pet insurance. CCC communicates with me openly and regularly before, during, and after any bookings and will send photos and videos of the fun which helped ease my thoughts in the beginning. Now, I will only use CCC for care and follow up training for my boy. I believe they truly care about him and our relationship. A very small investment for huge lifelong returns you won't regret!

We cannot thank Cosmo K9 enough for helping our family. We brought them a very difficult situation:…read moreour 8-year-old corgi, Rexy, was struggling badly after we brought home our Akita puppy, Ryu. The stress and fights became so severe that both dogs ended up at the vet hospital after Rexy started attacking Ryu in what had previously been his "only dog" space. Our house was literally separated by gates, and we were living in constant stress trying to keep everyone safe. Honestly, we were terrified we might have to rehome Ryu and almost did. Sophie worked with Ryu on puppy obedience and handling the strong-willed personality Akitas are known for, while Chris worked with Rexy on the behavioral side and helping him tolerate and coexist with the new puppy. They did two weeks of training followed by a week of boarding together so the dogs could continue adjusting to each other in a structured environment. The communication throughout the process was amazing. We received frequent updates, pictures, and videos, and it was obvious they truly cared about the dogs and understood the emotional toll this situation had taken on us. The difference since coming home has been huge. Ryu is far more controllable and much less reactive around other dogs, and Rexy is now able to tolerate and coexist with him peacefully. Our dogs are now respectful of each other's space, and our home no longer feels divided and chaotic. What we especially appreciated is that they were realistic about the fact that training does not end when the dogs come home. They gave us the tools and guidance to continue the work ourselves, which we have been committed to doing. If you are dealing with serious behavioral stress between dogs, or even feeling hopeless like we were, we genuinely recommend Cosmo K9.

I cannot sing the praises of Michelle enough! When Monty returned from two weeks of Board and…read moreTrain with Michelle, he was a changed dog. He's not just a calmer dog, he's a CALM dog. We've had no out-of-control barking incidents; he can be tethered and remain quiet. He's very good on walks, moving from "heel" to "break" and back to "heel" again. He's very responsive to the "off" command, which we use primarily to keep him off the furniture and out of the kitchen. Last week we had friends over for dinner and after his initial excitement he was a good boy, lying nearby content and chewing on a bone. We even attended the Humane Society Walk for Animals at Kit Carson Park, and with hundreds of dogs and people and non-stop activities, he was again a very well-behaved boy. We are so appreciative of the work that Michelle did with Monty. He is now the dog we always hoped he would be - happy, well-behaved, and living his best life!
