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

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 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.

She trims his claws, cleans his ears, de-sheds him, baths him, dries him and does all of these with so much love!!! Can't thank Elena and her team enough for everything they do for my Maks!!

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.

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!)

The first time they told me they were late, the appointment was at 2 pm they got to my house at 5 pm and when I complained Patty said that she was going to leave because of my "attitude". Them because it was getting dark she could only do my 2 little dogs. And I had to cancel my appointments for the next day to accommodate her coming in the morning for my other dog. Unfortunately, we scheduled another appointment for my 3 dogs in 2 months. The same happen, Patty was late again saying she was about 2 hours from me and it was 1 pm already. Our appointment was at 2. She texted again at 4 pm and again which was too late to start my 3 dogs. She said she would come at 9 am the next day (Monday). She texted and told me that she could not switch the other dog owners. To me, she said she would come at 9 am, but she then did not and told me she could come on Wednesday at 9 am. She did not show up. This is a person with little respect for the dog owner's time. I work at home providing telehealth and can't interrupt my sessions to open the garage door and hand my dogs to her. It would be unprofessional and unethical. Patty feels entitled to do whatever she wants, showing up (when she does) 3 hours later saying that we need to understand she has 400 dogs to groom. If you have all day to wait then it may work, but if you are a professional who works from home, you are in serious trouble. Don't waste your time. I unfortunately did.
