I FOUND MY GROOMER!!…read more And she's nearby and her spa is just that: spa-like; it's spacious, serene, comfortable and clean; no smells and no noise. My girl was comfortable there and so was this fur mama; Karen and I had great conversation and she even played Taylor Swift softly for me. I am especially pleased because I have a senior girl of 15 and the groomers I've been using have not shown her the extra patience and love she needs and that I want for her! And they have been way too pricey; Karen was very fair and even with a gratuity, less than I've been paying. Karen was good to us and in turn my girl wasn't nearly as skittish as I thought she would be. Bless her, Karen even got to brush her teeth! We will be back and I will be bringing my young, hyper, energetic Shih Tzu. She's going to need styling/cutting; her first styling since I got her was a disaster. I just know Karen will do a stellar job! Please consider Karen for your fur babies grooming needs. They will be treated beautifully and what fur parent doesn't want that?!

However, I learned today pricing is based on if they've had a previous relationship, etc. I was charged $65 to my 11 pound Maltipoo. I made my appointment the week before, and I was asked to come in at 9:30am. I am pretty disappointed with my dog's groom. She came out with patchy fur and was highly stressed. She was there from 9am until 3pm... in a kennel for hours for "her turn." I understand some groom take longer than others, but I keep her fur short and I brush her head, face and tail daily. This place isn't worth the price or the stress on my fur baby.

So I understand what it takes to create a smooth and polished coat on a fluffy dog. But sometimes I need someone else to do this job when I get busy or don't feel well. I heard about Seaside from a friend. I live in the area so I called and spoke to Lisa. I guess she's the owner. I mentioned Jinx's nervousness and she told me to come in the next day. She didn't mention that there would be a parade of regulars coming in (about 8 dogs) at that time or that she only accepts cash/checks. I would've come in earlier if I had known so I could've had her undivided attention to go over Jinx's needs. Lisa told me and my husband it would take about 3 hours, so we were surprised when she called us at 2 hours that she was ready. She reported that Jinx handled everything well. And honestly she seemed pretty chill. So that's a plus For her. She doesn't like everyone. At first glance, Jinx looked really cute. She had a cute little neckerchief on. We had to return with a checkbook to pay, as we weren't told about the payment situation. It's displayed on the counter, but it's so uncommon and we were distracted that we missed it. Good communication for first timers is important to establish orientation and trust. Going back home gave us time to evaluate Jinx's groom. I noticed right away there was unevenness on the hair around her face, so I had Lisa correct it. Later, however, after we left, I continued to notice mistakes. Uneven, choppy hair on the top of the head, the sides of the face under the ears, clipper trails marks on the body, and the tail wasn't even touched. While they did a better job on areas like the face and legs than I could ever do, it looked like the job was rushed and not inspected carefully for mistakes. I would normally go back to have things corrected if it was, say, my own hair. But I can't put Jinx through that. She's really a sensitive little dog and doesn't like new situations. So I will correct those things on my own. I'm not sure if I will be going back to Seaside. Maybe for the walk-in nail trim they offer, since they're so close. I really don't like being let down after paying $85 for two 1/2 hours of a basic service, though. While I realize that I am not easy to please And that I'm a perfectionist, I still expect professionals to know their job and perform basic quality control over their service. I would think they'd put their best foot forward for a new potential long term client. You don't get a second chance to make a good first impression. Sorry, Lisa. I liked you and your cute little store. I just think you're a little overbooked and could do better.

The old reviews here are ridiculous. Howie's is a fantastic doggy daycare. After my doggo "failed"…read morethe temperament tests at two other daycares because she "kept trying to play with dogs who didn't want to play", we went to Howie's. Having much more reasonable standards, they admitted her. I was a bit nervous about her first day and half-expecting her to get kicked out for being troublesome..but no! My dog fit in perfectly at Howie's and made friends right away. Just by being around the other dogs, she is able to learn how to socialize better--and this is what my dog always needed! Previously, she kept getting kicked out of daycares but truthfully she just needed more daycare experience to mature. Thanks to Howie's, she was given that experience and is now growing into a polite and friendly angel. Please give Howie's a shot. Especially if you've tried other daycares in the South Bay and didn't care for how they take themselves a little too seriously. I hope one day they set up a couple cameras with streams for us to watch the doggos play!

We all know accidents happen and dogs are like children in that they get hurt by simply playing…read morewith one another. The question is, if something were to happen to your beloved dog - or in my case, fur-child - would you trust that Howie's aka Tony Morales would do the right thing? Long story short, we moved from NYC to LA (during the height of the pandemic). While I was diligent to do my research I found Howie's enrollment/temperament test to be similar to other daycares we've been to, so I knew my pup would pass with flying colors. Upon arriving to the facility, sure, the facility where the dogs actually stay can use an update/freshness, but still, I wanted to give them a chance as small business owners. You know when they say listen to your gut? I should have! I waited upfront until the end of the "test" and then Tony called me back to check him out. I was surprised that my dog was not running around playing actually, none of the dogs were. They were all crowding around a corner and when I looked over the fence, my pup was up against the fence looking at me like "get me out of here". But still I was like, well we just got off a plane (literally) and it's an all new environment. Next day, Tony picks up my pup from the hotel in a shabby van with old rusted crates, again, another flag. Later that day, I called to check in on my pup and Tony reassured me he was doing great and was being given a few timeouts to rest which I was relieved to hear. At the end of the day, which was at closing, I went to pick up my pup and make a reservation for the next two days. When my pup came out from back he was excited to see me but we all notice a large glob of shiny slobber on his head...so we thought. Tony even apologized for not cleaning him up and I was like, it's ok, they are dogs, they get dirty. I go to pet him on the head and my pup winces and doges my hand...weird. Once I get him back to the hotel, we both eat and settle down on the sofa to relax. While I start to wipe him down that's when I notice it. The glob of slobber was actually a glob of blood. He had a large gash on this head where the hairs were embedded into the wound. I quickly ran to CVS to get a first aid kit and clean up the wound. I also called and texted Tony to alert him. Tony texted and called the next day to apologized and he assured me that this rarely happens but that he would take responsibility and directed me to the closes vet in the area. I asked him how did no one see that my dog had been injured?? Aren't you watching the dogs at all times?? He said, you can watch dogs all day and they still get hurt....but no they don't watch them the entire time...WHAT? This is where I made the mistake not to check/ask how they supervise the dogs in their care. What comes next is texts and phone calls over the course of the last few months...this happened in November 2020 and it's now April 2021 and still Tony has been dodging my emails/phone calls and NOT taking responsibility...as he said he would or as he put it "he wasn't going to f**k me over". The first excuse was that his daughter had been beaten up and was in the hospital. He said that his problem was way more important than my problem so I would have to wait. Ok fine. I extended my sympathy, and I would follow up again. After a few more calls/emails, a few weeks later he said there was a check waiting in his office for 100$ bucks. I reminded him that I sent the vet bill and it was for 201. He said, oh send me the bill again and I'll mail you the check. More weeks go by and no check. I call him again. I email again, and text him again. Nothing. In March, I sent the final email saying please pay the vet bill or I would follow up with legal action. He finally returns my email and says that the vet bill doesn't look right and that he would call the vet and have the vet provide the right bill...uhm sorry what? I called the vet and they assured me that they would not and could not share private medical/personal information like that. Did I mention I literally forwarded the email from the Vet's office with the bill.... So here we are months later, and nothing. I know it's cliché to say it's not about the money, and it's not. It was about Tony doing the right thing. So I say again, if something were to happen to your dog would you trust that Tony would do the right thing? Would you take a chance that your family pet/ a member of your family, would be safe here? Or do you get what I got? An injured pet that now winces anytime you pet his head....so what did really happen to my pup? Was he hit? Is the facility even safe? So caution...
