This place is truly amazing!!…read more A couple of years ago, I rescued a golden retriever mix with a history of aggression. We made sure to put him through proper training before even considering grooming, and once we felt confident in his progress, we started looking for a groomer in the area. It was definitely challenging. Many places were hesitant to take him because of his background. When I reached out to All About Paws Pet Spa and explained his situation, they didn't hesitate at all. From the start, they were incredibly understanding and patient with Finn. Even on days when he can be a bit difficult, they continue to work with him with such care and professionalism. Because of them, grooming has become a much more positive experience for him and for us. I've also brought my other pets here, and every visit has been just as great. If you're looking for a groomer who is compassionate, skilled, and truly cares about your pets, I can't recommend this place enough. On behalf of Finn, Dexter, and our family, Thank you!

Genuinely could not recommend this place enough for dog owners! The level and quality of care is…read moreoutstanding. Every time I bring my dog in for a groom they exceed expectations. They look out for my dog and ask each time what I'd like done from anal glands to length trimmed off. I have a nervous dog who has been traumatized by other groomers, and this place has definitely helped my pup feel more comfortable. So glad to support a local business in Claremont!

Horrible Horrible Horrible!!!!! Avoid this place at all costs!!! I have wanted to write this review…read morefor months because every time I look at the pictures from this grooming appointment, I get angry all over again. I brought my dog Bentley to Hair of the Dog after being referred by a friend when my regular groomer was temporarily unavailable. Bentley has been professionally groomed his entire life and never had to be shaved. He has been groomed consistently since he was 8 weeks old and, in the year and a half I've had him, he has never once been shaved down. From the moment I walked in, the experience felt off. The staff was rude and dismissive, and after I arrived, I was informed that Bentley had to be picked up by 1:00 p.m. because they were closing early that day. This was never disclosed when I booked the appointment. I specifically told them I was driving to Irvine and would have difficulty getting back that quickly. Frankly, if they had special hours that day, that should have been communicated before the appointment was accepted, not after I had already dropped my dog off. The groomer then told me Bentley was matted and needed to be shaved. We actually argued about. I explained that he had been groomed regularly his entire life and had never needed that before. Even so, I tried to compromise and told her that if some shaving was necessary, I absolutely did not want him shaved all the way down to the skin. About 20-30 minutes after I left, they called and said he was ready. Think about that. After insisting my dog was so matted that he needed to be shaved down, they somehow completed the entire groom in roughly 20-30 minutes. Because of the surprise pickup requirement they imposed, I wasn't even able to pick him up myself. I had to arrange for someone else to leave what they were doing and go get him because I was still in Irvine exactly where I told them I would be. When I finally saw Bentley, I was shocked and upset as was he for months. It definitely affected his demeanor he walked around depressed and seemed like a completely different dog. They had shaved him almost completely to the skin. It was nothing close to what I requested, nothing close to what I expected, and completely ignored the concerns I expressed beforehand. To make matters worse, his nails were not properly addressed, and within a couple of weeks I had to take him to the vet because of issues with his anal glands which they never even asked me about . Whether those issues should have been identified during grooming or not, it only added to my frustration with the overall quality of care. The worst part was feeling like no one listened. I trusted them with a dog that is a member of my family. Instead, I felt rushed, dismissed, pressured into a decision I wasn't comfortable with, and then ignored when I specifically asked them not to shave him down. Months later, his coat is still growing back but no where near what his beautiful coat was he has been growing since a baby I will never bring Bentley back, and I absolutely cannot recommend Hair of the Dog based on my experience. Steer clear of these mean people!!!!!

Thank you for your response, but I want to clarify why I remain dissatisfied. I was extremely…read moreunhappy with the grooming results that day. This was the first time I had asked for a correction; I had never previously asked you to trim more. I understand that accidents can happen. However, your employees need proper training on how to respond to an injury with urgency, compassion, and clear communication so customers feel reassured and supported. Your manager appeared unsure of what to do until I raised my concern about taking my dog to the vet. Being handed a single cotton ball and asked to provide an update while my dog was bleeding did not make me feel that the situation was being taken seriously. That is why I described the handling of this incident as unprofessional. I appreciate the reimbursement, but I also need you to acknowledge the distress this caused and explain how you will prepare your staff to handle situations like this in the future.

Andrew was AMAZING had her shaved and toenails clipped in ten minutes. I am ecstatic to have found my new groomer! He's cheaper than most too! I paid $55 to get my cat shaved which is beyond reasonable considering her temper. Highly highly recommend. I previously used Pet Time Animal Hospital's (best vet there is!!!) groomer, Jannell. I will never NEVER go back there because she gave my kitty a concussion. Use to take 3-4 hours for grooming as well. Andrew was very nice and considerate of my pet. He made sure no dogs were there and that it was dead quiet so as not to scare her. He had my back there soothing her as well. You cannot get someone better, especially for cats.

They cannot be flexible nor figure out a solution that will be beneficial to both the client and the business resulting in an unauthorized charge. I do not recommend this business. Rebuttal: We still disagree on the circumstances and how the dispute was handled. (Note to Owner: Your clients should know that I tried to reach a reasonable solution with you, the owner, but the manager said you couldn't talk to me and that you were NOT AvAILABLE yet here you are available to write a long one-sided narrative response minutes after I hung up therefore your one-sided narrative doesn't have your clients input nor the full picture). Your clients should know I tried to work it out with you and I am still willing to work out a compromise. Your clients should know that just because you write a long narrative response doesn't mean you're correct.. I still dispute your version on how this was handled. As a result, I still DO NOT recommend this establishment. I will not return. You are on notice! I cancel all future appointments , I still dispute the charges, and will not recommend this establishment to anyone.
