    Honey looking great!

    Groomers love their clients (dogs) & treat them so lovingly, front office personnel love their clients also,

    I've been taking my dog here for grooming since 2013--in other words, it's only taken me ten years to write this review! My dog is a bit shy and untrusting of other people, but she's always comfortable with the groomers at Alta as they always take such great care of her. The staff are super friendly and attentive, the prices have been more than reasonable for the longest time, and I'm able to get her teeth scaled there as well. While there's been a recent increase in cost (everyone's fighting inflation, please show empathy), I still find it to be both a better value and quality of service than most other places. Best part? Every time I pick her up, they wrap her in a new bandana. If you're looking for a great place to take your dog for grooming, this is it.

    Shirley has always done an amazing hand cut with our Shih Tzu Ella. Consistently perfect in my opinion and Ella doesn't mind visiting l

    I recommend this place 100%. I've been trying to find a good groomer for my dog for over a year. I tried mobile grooming at first, then taking my dog in person. But this company is by far the best I've taken my dog to. The staff is so friendly and nice. I fully trust my dog with them. They really take their time, and they do an amazing job. I'm so happy I found this place!

    Alta Pet Grooming is the best dog groomer in town! They treat your pet like gold! They have always done an exceptional job and they care about every detail! Very reasonably priced! Thanks, you guys! Your staff is amazing and especially the girls at the front!

    Spiffy after a bath!!

    Our Belgian Malinois has been coming here for grooming services for over a year now. She is a 70lb dog with a turn off switch, but can get nervous at times. The staff here isn't intimated by her size and they have always been pet friendly. She is brushed, her nails are clipped, and bathed. The prices are reasonable and appointments can be made quickly. It costs us $56 for her to be groomed, and I was being quoted upwards of $80  because of her size at other places. Lucky to have this grooming business near by.

    Elvis's lion cut! They did such a great job!

    They're about market price for a grooming. I paid $60 for a 40 of dog (medium size). They do a pretty good job, considering i've taken my dog to a few groomer around the area. I feel like this place is a good fit for me since it's close by and i've pay the extra $10 for them to do it correctly. I've taken my dog to a groomer where they charged me $50 and almost had my dog running out that door. Plus they didn't even cut the hair on my dogs face or tail. I was pretty upset about that place, which is why I stick to this one. They make my dog look like less of a hobo dog everytime. I feel like I always picked up the wrong dog everytime I come here. It's a huge difference. Highly recommend book a week in advance since they're very busy all the time.

    See all

    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!!!!!
