Yesterday I took Kloe to this groomer..it was her first time getting a bath and haircut which she desperately needed. She's a 4 year old Australian shepherd who I adopted 2 years ago. Garrett did the honors and what a fantastic job he did! Her long, thick fur was beautifully trimmed, her coat is so silky now. I wasn't sure how she'd take to being groomed but the reports were she did fine. read more

Amazing, patient and warm groomers. They take good care of your fur babies. This place is cute clean and very well kept. The prices are affordable! read more

Love this place I have a senior dog and she gets scared getting her nails done and she loves to come in here everyone is so sweet and welcoming that Asha doesn't even worry about getting her nails done thank you for always taking such good care of my baby read more

Can't thank Omar & everyone at Featherer pet enough for the wonderful grooming they did on my 8 year old 90 something lb Japanese Akita! (This review is super overdue!) Bear was so happy when I picked him up & he looked great for his July therapy visit with kids. We'll definitely be back for another grooming & of course his nail trims. The staff is friendly & prices reasonable for such a big dog. It's hard to find places that are familiar with how to groom an Akita & this place knows & has even supported the Akita rescue I volunteer with. We're so thankful for them & all they do! read more

OMAR IS THE BEST ! My puppy is still young so I know it's not an easy task dealing with him But OMAR always does such a great job! I'm sure it's not easy grooming a puppy but OMAR does such a great job ! I highly recommend him ! Thank your feather pet for treating my dogs so well !! read more

Definitely won't be returning or recommending this place anymore. The customer service is terrible. Makes me wonder what really goes on inside. Such a shame because the building sure is cute. Pretty bummed about the experience though. read more

I brought my senior long-haired kitty Mimi to (I believe her name is) Cheyenne with pretty bad matting. We came in very anxious and staff was very kind and reassuring. They took Mimi back quickly and I went to Starbucks and got some coffee and hung out and they were done within an hour and a half. I didn't have high hopes because I know how difficult it is to shave mats close to the skin on cats, and that my kitty had really delicate skin, but Cheyenne did an amazing job and took on the task and did not shame me or make me feel bad for the difficult work. I am so thankful of what an amazing job she did and Mimi was too. She was able to remove all the mats without damaging my kitty, gave her a nice cut, and clipped her nails too! Thank you so so much. read more

We cannot recommend Featherer's Pet Mobile Service enough. We have a fur baby with high anxiety with nail trims. Liz was prompt, professional, loving, and took the time to help our Lulu overcome her worries. We are very appreciative. Highly recommend Featherer's Mobile Service and Liz read more

Today was my last visit doing business with Featherer Pet after 7 years!!! Every third Saturday of the month my dog participants in the Solano County Library Read-to-A-Dog program that encourages young kids first through fourth grade the joy of reading. As a trained therapy dog it's important I ensure she is well groomed and clean the day of or before any event. We scheduled our June 14th appointment at 12 noon on May 17th at the end of that grooming appointment. Fast forward to Thursday, June 6 I receive a text message my appointment was moved from June 14th to June 18th because the groomer now has a doctor's appointment on June 14. I called and explained that June 18th is not an option and to find out what else is available prior to June 15 even if all that could be done is trim the nails if they can't complete the full groom. Was told they would reach out when they found something else. On June 9th received a text with the option of 9:30 am or 12:30 pm on June 12th, I chose 12:30 because I had a 9 am conference call scheduled that I couldn't re-schedule. Well it's June 12 and I'm on the conference when I receive a call on my personal phone from Featherer Pet stating I missed my 9:30 appointment. I stopped everything I was doing, ended the conference call and drove immediately to Featherer Pet so that I could at least get her nails trimmed. To add insult to injury, I was told by the groomer "I was 40 minutes late" for an appointment time I did not agree too. You can clearly see in the text message I requested a 12:30 appointment but given 9:30. Seems what staff told the groomer carries more weight than the customer and the customer is wrong. So sad it ended this way. Thank you for grooming all of my dogs over the past 7 years. read more

Featherer Pet Grooming - Sebastian!!!! - Pet Stores Near Me - Benicia, California

Had the best experienced ever. We are new to the area. Our dog Asha was way overdue for a nail trim. Our dog is a nervous little thing. The women working there treated our dog like a princess and were so kind and sweet to her. I will never go anywhere else for my dog's grooming needs again. Thank you to the lovely staff, and the beautiful environment. read more

Their services are very unreliable. We have been loyal customers and bring our bichon/poodle in for grooming on a regular basis. Our last three appointments have been cancelled due to issues on their end, today being the third time they have cancelled on us the day of the appointment. Rescheduling is a nightmare and obviously they've done nothing to solve the problem of being overbooked/understaffed. We'll be booking elsewhere in the future read more

Nothing says "Merry Christmas" like being told by a business you have supported for years that you are no longer welcome because you cancelled an appointment two days in advance. This is my second negative review of this place (yes, I did go back). I had an appointment and needed to cancel it -- two days in advance. I was told that since I was cancelling "so late," (two days ahead of time is late?) that I would be charged $50 late fee. Nowhere is this posted, nobody told me about a "late" fee and an updated cancellation policy pertaining to the holidays. I was told by the snippy receptionist that I would not be able to make any future appointments since I refused to pay the late fee. This is insane and IMHO, no way to run a local business. All this on top of the fact that previously, the groomer had nicked my senior guy and he was bleeding when I picked him up. It turned out that he needed stitches and I never came after them, didn't make them pay the vet bill. On top of all this, the place is chaotic, loud and noisy, and my little girl, when she was alive, was always nervous when I picked her up. I like supporting local businesses, but I will never be supporting this one. read more

Luna & Amanda have been pals for a few years now and I wouldn't trust my baby with anyone else. I really feel like Amanda care of my Maltipoo like she is her own dog! The front staff are always kind, friendly and ready to help. It can get crazy sometimes with all the pets coming and going, but I'm so grateful to have such a great salon only a few blocks from my house!! read more

Featherer Pet Grooming - Luna, so fresh & so clean - Pet Stores Near Me - Benicia, California

Our experience at the beginning was soo nice. But the last time we went they rushed through the grooming which caused both dogs to be super uncomfortable and scared. We said we would give them one chance but now the grooming staff is now denying us the ability to bring back our older dogs stating that he's too fragile (he is anything but, he's still strong and energetic) just because he's older. So sad that they turn away returning clients just like that. They've lost us as clients and all 4 of our dogs will be looking for new groomers. read more

I will never support this business again. My family experienced repeated anti-Black treatment by both the receptionist and a groomer here. The scrutiny and judgment they have for Black customers is totally different from the way they address white customers. I'm typically the one who drops off and takes our dogs in, and haven't had a problem. But when I asked my husband to stop in, they treated him totally differently. They jumped on my husband when he showed them a rabies certificate saying it was expired, when it was not (still had a week on it and we had a vet appointment scheduled), and didn't feel the need to apologize for their accusatory rude tone. I (wrongly) gave them the benefit of the doubt, thinking it may have been a bad day or a one-off. Then, I regretfully referred my mother-in-law to bring her dog here, and she was barely acknowledged, and treated with condescension and complete lack of empathy. The groomer barely greeted her, despite being a new client, and didn't take the time to have a conversation about the dog's needs or options for the grooming. All she offered was a "summer cut", with no explanation of what that was. And then, rather than offering compassionate advice when our dog was found to have tape worms, she received the blunt news by phone when told the dog with ready to be picked up - no comfort or reassurance whatsoever. They made her feel shamed rather than offering any support. And when she rightfully decided to give a modest tip for the subpar service, she was publicly called out in front of the whole room. Their dehumanizing treatment of a sweet and kind elder in this way is absolutely reprehensible. I am sickened by the trauma and pain racist acts like these have, and will never let them go unspoken. I'm sorry I ever supported this business and will not do so again. read more

My wife booked an appointment with them because our usual groomer was booked. I'd never heard of them, so I looked through the Yelp reviews and sure enough, lots of negative reviews for cutting or "nIcking" dogs making them bleed while grooming. Upon arrival I found very friendly staff, but also very busy. They told me it would be two hours for two dogs and that they would contact me which they never did. I called back 2.5 hours later and the said my dogs were done. Initially I thought they did a great job. Upon further review I found they cut my 2 year old maltipoo on her chest. I will not be returning. read more

I picked up my little Chihuahua mix. I was horrified l. I asked her to be cut short. She literally had a Mohawk. What was worse was that her ear had been cut pretty bad. It irks me when I trust people to be professionals and they blame it on my dog . Isn't that what you are trained for? Many people have handled my dog WITHOUT a problem. Today we took her t0 Miikkies No issues, shaved the way we like her (no explanation needed, she had been there before just like feather pet...) and much cheaper read more

Where do I begin with the arrogance of the woman who groomed my sweet-well behaved Angel? I brought him in with an appointment and let them know about his ear infection. It was bad. I had gone to my vet 6 times over the last two months. I had ear packs, ear cultures, meds, you name it. But, my groomer left and I needed my baby groomed. I was told I could come in. I am, by the way, a wonderful dog mom! These people humiliated me in front of other clients! After he was finished, they brought him out and before I could see him, I was bombarded by two very young ladies (maybe 15-16) as rude as they could be asking immediately for a tip before I even had a chance to see him! Not once, not twice, but on and on as if they were taught something to say and couldn't stop until they received a tip. COACHED! And, obnoxious! When they brought him out the groomer began to yell at me in front of other clients, embarrassing me to no end! Then, Karen came out screaming that he needed a culture then! I guess she's a veterinarian on the side. I've had that done prior to coming in and he was on an ear pack and 2 meds. They never let me get a word in edgewise. It was a comedy in here, with the two gals yelling at me for a tip and the mean gals just yelling at me! Nobody stopped to ask, they just ranted. He's with a Dermatologist in Walnut Creek now, doing great! Not that you care! By the way, you never suggested that. Hmm? Wonder why that is?? Know it alls? You know you might try finding out a bit about your client before you berate and insult them while asking for a tip. (that's rich)! I had just gone through an especially difficult period in my life; And, you two decide now was a great time to gang up on a person. Lesson to these rude "know it alls", my animal was found to have severe allergies and is seeing a special dermatologist in Walnut Creek where the waiting list is two months. Not that YOU care, he's doing much better. Never, and I mean NEVER, berate your customer because you think you know it all!! You don't!! I have no idea why people come here at all! You have your favorites and have them convinced you're who you portray yourself to be. You must have had paid some of these people to review with 5 stars! Yikes, you don't even deserve ONE! I was yelled at and simultaneously asked for a tip before I could look for cuts as he's had the time I brought him before! I mean gashed, not a nick here and there. I mean the groomer was negligent or quite possibly just angry at life! I came to this conclusion after seeing the real "Mean Girls" in action! I was upset for months after being treated that way; Especially, on the heals of being diagnosed with an additional Chronic illness and the death of my mom! Watch it girls to whom you speak and how and what you're saying. You were wrong. I didn't react because I was so shocked of being ganged up on! You don't know it all! You don't know who is coming in, you don't know what they're going through! I hope nobody ever treats you the way you treated me!! Shame. SHAME! On YOU ALL!! You are all Terrible to people. Let alone people who are paying you to look after their precious companion-in my case my medical companion! Please avoid these people! There are other places that will treat you with kindness, get to know you (they never met me- they just grabbed my baby and disappeared)! They don't try to know or Understand your situation, Or, have empathy towards you and therefore your precious pup as well. If you care at all for your baby-and I know you do, otherwise you wouldn't bring them to an expensive groomer, don't go here. Check out Noni's in Pleasant Hill. They ask for all vaccines and really do care. It's a trip, I know, but they won't gash your baby because they're either inept or just plain mad at the world. That means that they're mad at YOU and your baby before they even know you... Now, I know that I'll get some trite three-cent-word response stating that you're a business not a psychologist office; But, that's kind of the point, isn't it? You take care of your clients, they'll take care of you! I've been bum rushed off of the phone because you don't want to hear "our same ol' story" that you've heard from everyone else? Right? That's what you said! You don't even want to listen when people call with a concern. Get off the phone faster, so you can get them in faster? Wow! With a caring place like this, who needs it? Not me!!! So, for now and (oh yeah) evermore, GOOD bye... read more

If I could rate this place a ZERO I would! Scheduled a appointment for my puppy's first haircut. His appointment was at 12pm this establishment calls me at 11:40 after already being on the way stating they couldn't accept my proof of rabies shot I would have to get the appropriate proof and reschedule the appointment. Which to me was a complete inconvenience not only for me but for my puppy as well it was ZERO compassion. I wasted my time I cannot get back. read more

made an appointment for a flea bath and nail trim they mixed up my appointment times..... front lady was not accommodating and rude. i have taken my dog to higher end groomers and never received this type of customer service. made me not even want to take my dog there because why would i want my dog to be handled by a rude lady. read more

Runs business inefficiently and passes those inefficiencies down to the customer through higher pricing Pricing significantly higher than competitors with same experience and credentials Owner acknowledged her pricing was higher, and stated it was due to their credentials and experience. Owner is talented in performing grooming services, but not all team members are therefore quality of grooming varies Owner started grooming our dogs then stopped and had others groom Dog was shaved down on underside when specific instructions were to not cut Dog that gets cut often came out cut uneven On two occasions they got water in the ears of one dog which resulted in two vet appointments and need for medication to treat ear infections Brings on new team members that lack proper training, knowledge, experience, basic business principles, and customer service Lacks effective communication Forces customers to use texting, but then at times doesn't respond or takes days or weeks to respond Mobile phone service often does not work Struggles with scheduling Will often ask customer to reschedule due to various reasons, however, if customer requests scheduling changes it becomes a huge deal Not accommodating for bathing needs as they come up in between regular grooming Has model that your pet will only needing bathing at set intervals i.e. 4 or 6 weeks Fails to hold commitments/agreements Had agreement on cost for our two dogs, service interval, day, and that owner would perform service 1 week later we are asked to change date from Sat's to Fri's On next grooming service owner is not present for regular grooming and mistakes are made 2 weeks later receive very long winded text stating that cannot accommodate our request to change service interval from 6 weeks to 5, even though that was original schedule and recommended by groom who groomed last, then that pricing was going up Cost $300 to groom 8lb Pomeranian and 15 lb Pomsky Received 3 other quotes and proceeding with one where cost is $65 for each dog for same exact service (bathing, nails, and cut) Other comps where around the same price, one actually lower Highly not recommended read more

Very friendly! My dog is a little dude who shakes. They were very loving and caring. He only needed a nail trim so they were quick. I also liked that they know he is a bit dramatic and meet his needs read more

Great customer attention and proactive work ethic. They can accommodate you at a moments notice.

I used to love taking my dog here but, They have gone downhill. The past few times they made my dog bleed because they cut his nails to short. They raised there prices and didn't let me know until the service was complete...it cost $25 for clipping nails and they charged more because my dog was "difficult". Also The staff is unprofessional on the phone and in person read more

I use to take my little Luna all the way to her favorite Groomer in Petaluma, and due to time restrictions we needed her groomed and checked out the reviews of Featherer Pet. So Far Luna our Shih tzu has been here 4 times and everytime she comes back the same. Very happy clean and groomed flawlessly. The prices are the same area in the bay area which is a lot, so cant really knock them on that. Would recommend this place more, except its always booked cause they are so awesome. read more

I was referred to Featherer Pet to get my Siberian Husky groomed by my fellow Husky owner friends. Not many groomers are great with Huskies because of their double coat and we have for years tried several different groomers, always leaving a bit disappointed. Well that's not the case here! Suzanne was the groomer and she did a FANTASTIC job with our fur baby!!!! If you have a double coated dog, this is definitely the place! We are so happy we finally found a great groomer and will be taking our Hoku here for his twice a year grooming. Thanks Suzanne, you're the best! (On a side note, there was a front desk person who needs a bit more training with customer service, other than that, our experience here was outstanding!!) read more

Featherer Pet Grooming - Pet Stores Near Me - Benicia, California

No food in the store--in fact, you cannot get into the store to browse as they have this "employees only" sign on the door. I've used them in the past for grooming and they CUT my pet. Prior to that, my dog came back with FLEAS. They don't deserve your business and they certainly won't get any more from me. 3rd strike and you are OUT. read more

This place used to be one of the best but I have no clue what happened lately. The ATTITUDE by the ladies at the front desk is unbelievable especially considering how much they charge you! $100 for a bath and cut! To the two women who answered the phone on Saturday morning the 24th, I am a human being! Treat people with respect please! If I have a question, answer it! And don't just hang up on my face right after! Ashley was her name and the second lady that answered was so rude and stayed mute on the phone when I told her Ashley hung up on my face. Okay so that's how we answer phones? We just stay mute for about ONE minute? The RUDEST women work here. I truly hope it's not a Karen thing going on here cuz these women are giving Karen vibes for real! read more

Super disappointed at the current staff now. Not sure why all their good groomers are leaving but I scheduled an appointment for my pet 4 weeks ago and on the appointment date they tell me they need to reschedule it and push it out 3 more weeks. If I knew this was going to happen I would of taken my pet somewhere else. There not worth waiting almost 2 months for an appointment. read more

Love them. I was referred by an old customer of theirs. Even though I live in Richmond and work in Oakland, Featherer Pet is worth the drive in the opposite direction. Great staff, great services, and I'm definitely not complaining about the price (being in the Bay Area). Lol!! Ask for Cheyenne. (Hope I spelled that correctly. Lol! ) she does a perfect job on my Sasha. Tip: don't be afraid to tell them how you would like the cut. They are really nice and receptive about. read more

A real dog and owner friendly environment.! I have an Alaskan Malamute who is a real Miss, and not the easiest dog to groom... I have taken her to other grooming centers and they just give up on her and I end up washing my dog in the bath tub the next day. She is also very upset and distressed after the grooming event.... But today, they spent the time and love to support my pup through the grooming process!! She smells wonderful and looks amazing! Thank you to the groomer Shian who cleverly knows her business and kind heart that took the time to care and spend the needed time to groom my Miss... Thanks everyone for your great service, and we will be back!! read more

I became a customer of this business at the start of this year when I adopted my terrier mix from the shelter. Like most, I was intrigued by the reviews. I first brought my little one to Cheyenne (apologies for the possible incorrect spelling). She was GREAT! She really groomed like I requested and I never had any instances with her. However, she wasn't there one time and I got Shana. She was ok and I scheduled the next appointment for the sake of not switching so much since my rescue has high anxiety. This last time was the worst! First, she hurriedly came to get my little one and barely stuck around to hear what I wanted done. Came back in the hour when called and she met me outside, put her in my arms and I hardly had a chance to look at the work she'd done. They came out to charge me at the same time. They'd raise the price and didn't even tell me prior to taking her in. I always tip them generously, between $15 to $20, on top of their high price. When I got home I noticed my baby has cuts in her bottom (fully removed fur), and nicks on her neck and by her tail. They didn't cut evenly. Plus they totally missed trimming the hair on her tail. So many things just wrong. I called as soon as I could but they closed so I left a message. The next day the receptionist called me, non apologetic and even said she hoped I'd find a better groomer. I was so taken back! I was so upset that she thought I wouldn't give them another shot at making it right and just dismissed me as a customer. I called the following week when I found more things (plus they're closed on Monday's and this time Ashley answered and she was at least nice and listened to my frustrations. She left me know she'd speak with the owners. They never called me. The groomer never called me. This business clearly doesn't care about losing customers because they know that they'll have others. Like a rotating door. Customers are just numbers. I rather drive far to a place where my business is appreciated and my little one is properly and safely groomed than give this place any more of my hard earned money. Never had a problem paying their price but now, they've lost my business for good. Please check your pets thoroughly before leaving this business. Our pets/furry loved ones can't speak for themselves. read more

I'm currently dog-sitting and pretty brand new to the whole doggie world in general. My only hope of finding a groomer was Yelp and here I am... giving a 5-star rating. So first of all, thank you, Yelp! My parents' dog, Leia is a shih-tzu/poodle mix and is currently 1 year old. I'm not too familiar with her grooming experience on a regular basis but it's needless to say I was nervous to bring her anywhere. I wasn't nervous for Leia, more for whoever was going to groom her. She's very hyper and loves to give doggie kisses. I was worried she would give Suzanne a hard time. Which at the end of the visit it was confirmed that she is hard to groom. Suzanne was very honest (which I totally appreciate), patient and gracious about it. She gave us great advice on what we can do at home to make her future visits easier (for everyone). My husband and I couldn't be happier with the results. Leia's hair is trimmed and super soft. Suzanne did a great job trimming the hair around her face and eyes which makes us so happy because we can see Leia's adorable face and I'm sure Leia appreciates being able to see! Her nails have been trimmed and we are thrilled to no longer hear the click-clack of doggie paws on our hardwood floor. A bath, anal gland and ear cleaning were also part of the doggie "me-day". Since we are first-timers at Featherer (or any dog grooming place period) I have no point of reference when it comes to prices but quality of service always reflects cost in any scenario. Our fur-sister was totally worth the cost considering the amount of time they put into her (approx. 2.5 hrs) and the fact that Leia wasn't the easiest to work with. The whole experience was great despite a few bumps but I'm hoping it will be smoother with each visit. read more

I love Featherer Pets. My sister has been coming her for awhile and I have been for the last several months, and couldn't be happier with their services. They're so good with Khloe. She just loves coming here and the girls are so good with her. They're real professionals here. Also, if you're an A's fan, they have great A's apparel for your fur baby. Scored instant points with that. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. read more

I was greeted by a friendly welcome as I entered. I was eager to try a local grooming place because I had only ever taken my dog to Petsmart and wasn't satisfied. Every single employee here is so genuine and nice. I have an 85lbs white German shepherd who was getting a little yellow because I hadn't washed him or brushed him in so long. When I picked him up, the groomer informed me that he did well. They used a certain shower head to loosen the hair on his coat and washed him then cleaned his ears, clipped his nails, and cleaned his anal glands. Didn't know groomers do that but hey! It comes in the package. This place is extremely affordable. The pets that do live in the shop are friendly as well as every employee. Another cool thing that I adore about this place is that they groom all the local shelter dogs from the Humane society in Vallejo. read more

Never again! Took my Australian Terrier in for grooming and they absolutely hacked the job and then had the nerve to tell me that it was the same as last time! His last cut here was good!

One star 'cause zero isn't an option! read more

Used to go here frequently, but since Covid I'd noticed everyone becoming more and more rude. Granted, this isn't an easy time, but if you aren't going to be nice to me, how can I expect you to be nice to my elderly dogs? Plus, I've been hung up on twice now. Sorry. Won't be going back. read more
