I was a loyal client for 10 years. Recently, after I declined an appointment because my dog was…read moredealing with recurring ear infections, I expressed concern that the infections seemed to show up shortly after grooming visits. On one occasion, the ear infection was also accompanied by a bacterial skin infection. I shared this as a health concern about my dog, not as an accusation. Shortly after raising that concern, I learned my account had been flagged and I was no longer allowed to book appointments. During my conversation with management, it was mentioned that my dog had shown some "aggressive" behavior. This had only ever been brought up to me once in the past, very briefly and in a way that did not seem serious at the time. There was never any indication over the years that continued service would become an issue. I apologized if my concern came across harshly, but the groomer Julie ultimately decided not to continue service. After a decade as a client, I'm disappointed this was the resolution. My intention was simply to advocate for my dog's health. I also have to be honest that the haircuts were often not quite what I hoped for, but I continued going because they were my dog's first and only groomers until now. Our dogs are our best friends. They rely entirely on us to protect them and speak up for their well-being. I never expected something so important to turn into such an uncomfortable situation. Given how this was handled, I would not recommend this place.. Toby

I cannot thank Estrella and her team enough! They did an outstanding job working with my Australian…read moreShepherd, Ryu. In advance, I did inquire if they can work with anxious dogs as Ryu had never been professionally groomed prior, and he's always been anxious since his puppy days. She kindly advised it'd be best to utilize CBD and bring him in muzzled for his first time since he does throw warning bites to new faces. To my surprise, Ryu did gravitate towards Estrella, and did not try biting and she was able to complete the full service with no issue. She kept me updated throughout the whole process and it made me feel very calm as well knowing Ryu was in great hands. Worth every single penny and I will definitely be bringing him back here always. Highly recommend visiting this location! Amazing staff, such a cute location as well, very welcoming. Overall, a wonderful experience and I wish I could give them more stars! *I've attached some before and after pictures for reference, you can clearly tell his hair was long and there is a huge difference in his amazing trim. *

I don't think I've seen her this white in a while. Unfortunately, my dog had a little poppy accident and Estrella was so nice and understanding about the situation. She even helped with suggesting a new diet for her so she can be healthier and grow a nicer coat. Such a great help. Her prices were also reasonable as well. Love this place, will definitely be booking again for her next appointment! Highly recommend 10/10

The staff is so gentle and kind, and they've given her the cutest haircuts every time. I always ask for the "puppy cut" and her little Maltipoo trims always turn out perfect,clean, stylish, and fluffy.

Elena also cleaned our dog's teeth once. The price was a little high, not gonna lie, but the result was really good and definitely noticeable. You can tell she really cares about the dogs and takes her time with them. I always feel comfortable leaving my dog with her, and I'd definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a good groomer.

The staff is so kind and welcoming, I immediately felt like she was in good hands. When I came back, they were playing with her, which made me so happy. You can tell they genuinely care. I also love that they don't use kennels. The groom was perfect. They really pay attention to the little details, and it shows. The turnaround time was amazing too. They texted me in about 1.5 hours, which I appreciated since her previous groomer would take 4+ hours. Only downside is the pricing. It showed $95 online, but came out to $130 + tip. Definitely on the pricier side, so not an every-month thing for me, but the quality and overall experience make it worth it.

After six months of silence, this guy suddenly messages me saying, "Are you still interested in…read morethis service?" as I received the message in SMS format - I had no idea what he was talking about - he messaged me without even mentioning what service he's talking about. Seriously? You think I've been sitting here waiting for you all this time? When I questioned him, instead of apologizing or owning up, he got sarcastic and told me I was being "smart & tough." That's his idea of customer service - insulting someone for pointing out how ridiculous his message was. And then I mentioned just because he has messaged me rudely now by saying that I am being "smart & tough" I messaged him back that now he deserves a rating on Yelp - and then he tried to justify it by saying he was "out of the country because of a sad family moment." If that's true, learn how to pause your business or set an auto-reply or reply from there in few days. Don't pop up half a year later acting like you're doing me a favor. If you enjoy rude, clueless communication and zero professionalism, maybe he's your guy. Otherwise, save yourself the headache and find someone who actually respects their clients' time.

We found someone with a schnauzer across the street and asked where it was groomed and she said the groom room. So we decided to make an appointment. Josh explained that if our dog was matted she would be shaved. In this instance unfortunately he tried to brush her but she didnt allow him so he did let me know she would be shaved. Usually we dont like her fully cut. But he did a great job her face looks cute and she looks like a girl. If i make sense. I will definitely bring her back Thank you

You gotta know that in addition to all the people who come here and leave a review, there are people like me who come to the same groomer for 5 years and just now leave a review.

I'm not one who would get their cat groomed, but I have to be now…read more We found Hector at "puffytail" (side note-I really don't dig their name - plus, puffy tails on a cat means they are FREAKED-OUT. They should have named it "unpuffy tail") back to it: grooming happens now because our boy cat has asthma and whenever his hair gets super long it triples this pretty bad dry coughing attacks. I figured it out after bringing him back after trying this years ago and like magic he stopped coughing. So we continue every 4-5 months. Hector did a really great job, it took an hour, they are pricey though- that's why 4stars for me but that's not a reflection of their work. Price is somewhat relative I know but for me they are $40 more than where I was going prior (great groomer/kind to our boy/ but she left.) Where are they exactly in this particular SF Valleys Shopping Plaza Maze: You will find them in this plaza with the biggest bldg being a CVS facing Ventura. Head in off Ventura or that next side road, and if you were standing straight in front of cvs with your body.... Go RIGHT- the groomers are on that side, and their store front is FACING the side of CVS. PARKING: You can park in front of CVS OR you CAN drive to that little right side too! If you do you will pass Puffy or unpuffy tail which will then b on your right w/ the side of cvs on your left. Parking in small slots back there. ROCKSTARS, or just busy people: You can also double park in front of the groomers, haul-ass in and drop off your pet/ and haul-ass back out and drive. Alley size street only has enough room for one and a 1/2 cars;) PT has only day-walker times - check their times yourself but I believe by 5pm, they're out. Try um. See what you think. Oh, and.... the first person who shares a video with us all showing you telling puffy tail in-person to change their name and why, and gives them at least THREE other company name suggestions....I'll give you $5 (the funnier, the better!)

I've been coming to this place for so long and I love it! I will say the baked goodies for our pups…read moreare a bit pricey but they are so worth the splurge if you wanna get something special for your fur babies. I only come here twice a year for my two dogs birthdays. One bone cake can cost around $35.99 which is a lot but my dogs love it. The cakes my dogs love. They have a variety of different flavors. From what I remember they have cookies and cream and peanut butter. My dogs love peanut butter so I usually get that flavor. The small dog bone cake is pretty big and the large one is massive. The small would honestly be good for a couple small dogs or one large dog but if you have multiple large dogs, you should definitely get the large bone cake. One thing I will say is if your dog is highly allergic to certain things, make sure to check the ingredients list for their items. When you go in the bakery, they list the ingredients out and the staff can tell you too. I also love how they sell the cookies that are damaged or broken for a cheap price. A small bag of these is around $2 which is great if you don't know if your dog will like them. Staff here is great and there is parking in the back of the building. Overall, def must try if you want to get your dog a bday cake or a cute treat!
