When I called to schedule an appointment for my mini Sheepadoodle, I was questioned about why it had been five months since her last visit. She is still a puppy, I prefer to keep her coat longer, and I regularly bathe and groom her myself. I also clearly stated that she was not matted. However, upon arrival, the groomer immediately began checking her over as if expecting to find matting. She did not I then explained that I wanted her to maintain a sheepdog look while having her coat shortened slightly for the warmer weather. When I picked up my dog, she had been completely shaved down and nothing like what I had asked for. Even more upsetting, she appeared frightened and anxious. I have never seen her react this way after a grooming appointment. She stayed glued to my side the entire evening, which is very unlike her. The groomer chose the quickest option without regard for my instructions or my dog's comfort. I expected professionalism and care, and unfortunately received neither.

I will never take my dogs there again for grooming. They should…read morenot groom long haired dogs if it annoys them! When I made the appointment for my dog, the first thing she was concerned about was that my dog hadn't been there in 5 months!! Well I am shopping around for the best groomer as my dog just turned a year and I groom my dog daily!!! I assured her my dog was not matted. When I take my dog in, the grumpy groomers face drops and the first thing she does is feel all underneath my dog looking for mats!! she found none!! After my dog and I were so rudely greeted, I should have left! However, I explain what I want and it's not what I got. My dogs hair was completely SHAVED OFF!! Lazy groomer!! My two doodles will be going elsewhere. Just tell your costumers you will only shave doodles because it's easier for the grumpy, rude groomer!

I brought my Aussie, Cooper, here after he was bitten in the face by a rattlesnake. Of course it…read morewas 6PM on a Friday-- and they had antivenin on hand. He got excellent care, from the front desk to the prescribed lab work. Living in the backcountry this was my 4th experience with snakebite. I know what the costs are, and they were definite in line. Antivenin is VERY expensive (approaching $1,000 per dose), and has a short shelf life. Most vets don't have it in stock, and the Emergency vets are super expensive. Cooper spent the night. I got two calls from them updating me on his condition. He was stabilized and his labs came back good after the first antivenin injection. I picked him up the following afternoon. I am very grateful for the staff and the quick attention he received. My total cost was $3000. I know-- yikes. But like I mentioned, I've had 4 dogs snake bitten over the years. This was not unreasonable at all; I expected more based on those previous bite treatments.

I'm not really sure what sorcery goes on at the back of the house, but doggo doesn't flinch (unlike going to the vet) when I drop him off to get the usual. Folks are super friendly and they usually do well sticking to the quoted ready time. There were only a few hiccup one offs during his earlier visits, but it's been smooth sailing lately. I'm glad that they take great care of Little Brother while he is there and he is super excited when we pick him up, properly refreshed and all.

After two frustrating attempts, he stopped wanting to go, so I tried one more time! The last time, the young woman at the front desk (I'd already noticed she was in a terrible mood) simply yanked my dog by the leash, and he slid along... until he was inside his cage. She showed no care or love for the animal. I always ask them not to express the anal glands or remove the hair from inside their ears. This last time, he came back all scared, with his anal gland very red and a lot of rash, and now he has an infection in his anal gland. NEVER AGAIN.

Sara is quite literally THE BEST dog groomer in El Cajon. I've been utilizing her amazing skills…read morefor about a year, and my pup (Yoshi) is always looking a 10/10 when I pick her up. She is so unbelievably flexible with scheduling, and even works before or after hours for doggies that need space away from other pups while grooming. My Yoshi isn't too friendly with other dogs, so this works out perfectly for us. She charges my 16lb Yoshi $65 (what a steal!!) and includes: wash/bath, cut, anal glads, nail trim. She also always glams my Yoshi up with some cute bows!! I'll add some pics below for reference:) Definitely consider going to Sara for all of your pet grooming needs!!!!

I came across Woofies and from the first phone call to now (a year later) this place has been WONDERFUL. My first impression was they CARE. Caleb spoke to me on the phone for 30 minutes about all the questions I have and was empathetic regarding my anxiety about finding a new groomer. At the end of the call I booked an appointment and I'm so glad I did! Fast forward to almost a year later now that we've been using Woofies and they've always been incredibly accommodating, communicative and professional. We are so glad to have found kiwis grooming home! At the beginning we used Alexis who was phenomenal and kind but she moved so now we use Michelle and are SO thankful we have her as Kiwis groomer. Michelle pays close attention to detail and loves kiwi, you can tell she loves what she does. I recommend all my friends use Woofies! We don't like standard salons where you drop your pet off and pick up with how tiny kiwi is and she's used to mobile grooming so this was perfect for us! The convenience of them coming to your home and bringing our pet out to the van is PRICELESS.

Welcome Woofie's of Carlsbad!…read more This family business provides a variety of pet services. We utilized their mobile grooming for not one, but two dogs. I scheduled the service with the owner over the phone who got me started on their booking platform. My female dog has a wash and go type of coat and she was booked for a sanitary trim. Our male dog has a thick coat and was scheduled for a full service treatment. Both came out looking their best thanks to Alexis. The entire process from beginning to end was smooth. The office followed up on our services after the session. You can just tell the team at Woofie's wants you to have a positive experience. This was our first time using a mobile grooming service. The mobile van was new, clean, and well stocked with supplies and treats. The dogs liked it and I think that is what really matters. Time to book our next session for the holidays... #WoofiesofCarlsbad #MobileGroomers #ADogsLife #YelpEliteNCSD
