This is our go-to place to take our Shiba, Scout to get groomed. The staff is so incredibly friendly here, and Scout never wants to leave this place when we come pick her up. She always leaves this place with an adorable little bandana and smelling so fresh and clean. I made the mistake of taking Scout to Petsmart before we started coming here, and not only did we get stuck with different groomers, but they weren't able to clip her nails. I just feel that if I'm going to a groomers, they should be able to clip her nails... not to mention the perfume sprayed is overbearing. I should also note that we took Scout Petsmart at least three times to get a proper assessment and of the 2/3 times they were unable to trim her nails. I did some research and took Scout to Pampered Pooch and despite us moving on the other side of SA, we still make the far drive over because that's how much we love coming here. Kate is so, so wonderful and always excitedly greets Scout when she comes here. Her nails are always nicely grind, and she's clean, trimmed and perfect! Pampered Pooch will be our forever groomer while we live in SA! read more

I took two of my pit bull mix here to get a nail trim and ear cleaning. Very fast and friendly service. The shop is clean and despite having plenty of dogs their groomers were working on, my dogs were in and out in no time. They did not treat my dogs any differently and was patient with the pups anxiety with seeing groomers. Thanks y'all, from us and the pups- we'll definitely be revisiting! read more

The ladies at Pampered Pooch take great care of Lucy, my large dog who is afraid of a lot of things, and my little dog, Kermit, who is not. They do a great job keeping Lucy's crazy hair under control and have ideas to help with her allergies and constant scratching. Kermit likes to go, but as a chihuahua is only into getting her nails, wash, and glands done. They always smell and look great when they come home. If only they would stay that way until the next visit... read more

I have a 1.5 year old Olde English Bulldog who has a lot of personality. It was his first time at the groomers and the ladies at Kate's Pampered Pooch did a phenomenal job. Words cannot express how thankful I am for the effort and love they showed to my sweet boy, and it was beautiful to see how happy he was after they took care of him. Also he smells SOOOOOO good. read more

I took my furry wookie poodle Cookie there today... after not being groomed professionally in 8 weeks, Cookie was a hot mess. It takes time to find a regular groomer -- and we wanted to take our time and find the right one. I think we found her! We were greeted by warm and friendly people and I was happy to see that she had so many examples of poodles she had groomed and she actually had one on the table that she was grooming. Despite that, she took the time to get to know me and my dog and what I was looking for in her groom -- and 3 hours later Cookie looks again like a proper poodle! And they even gave us bag of doggie treats, which Cookie enjoyed on the drive home! I for sure intend on making another appointment! read more

So I have a 6 month old puppy that has never been groomed before. His hair got so long and got matted since all groomers were closed due to COVID-19. I took my pup to pampered pooch and not only was Kate extremely sweet but she also took such good care of both me and my pup. He's my baby and I'm a protective dog momma. She handled his separation anxiety, his ear infection, and communicated with me very well. I've taken him to PetSmart once before for a trim and they couldn't even handle that. I will never go back to them and will continue to go back to Pampered Pooch! read more

It's been awhile since I've been a dog owner. A little over a year ago, an 80 pound 5 year old male pittie (that's pit bull awesomeness) needed a new home. I don't know what came over me but I just had to make him part of my life. Well, recently one of us had been developing a funky odor. Since I took a bath, I figured it might be him or my current love of eating steamed broccoli. Well, I'm not giving up that vegetable either so I decided he might be the source (it's a 50/50 call). I gave Kate's Pampered Pooch a ring and set up an appointment for this past Saturday. Pampered Pooch has no problem with large dogs and they did a great job on my buddy Rex. The odor was gone and he was so happy from his bath. Both he and I had our heads leaning out over different rolled down windows of my beater pickup truck as we headed back to where we started. Driving on the freeway, mouths open and tongues hanging out. We were a spectacle. I followed Kate's advice and washed his bedding so he won't pick up any odors from the blanket he's fond of sleeping on regularly. I'm so glad I brought him to Pampered Pooch! read more

I was so happy to find Pampered Pooch. I have a very spoiled 5 month old Boxer puppy Toby who used to let my clip his nails. He freaked out on me and just screamed and fought me like I was trying to kill him all of a sudden. I think he just decided, nope Mom, not today. I called and the lovely ladies set up an appointment for the next day and wouldn't you know, they had the magic that all loving dog groomers have. Toby was mesmerized from the second she took his leash. Not a peep from start to finish. We will be booking here from now on because I could feel the love and rapport. Picture of my spoiled man just because. read more

My chocolate lab desperately needed to be groomed and I saw this place had good reviews so I called to schedule an appointment and they got me in that same day. They were timely (my dog was in and out in exactly 2 hours, unlike other groomers). The staff was friendly and my dog looks and smells great. They were very reasonably priced and he also got a cute new bandana. Overall great job. Thank you! read more

Not your typical groomer review: I have a mixed terrier rescue with 3 legs. Those of you who had the pleasure of meeting Jackjack know that he is the boss. Period. Well for the first time in his 5 years of life he got shorn, groomed and smoothed head to tail. The Ladies at t this shop were patient and understanding of his concerns and did a pro job they should be proud of doing. Makes me happy that I chose Kate's shop. Your dog doesn't need a pedigree to be treated like family! Besides he got to flirt with a girly poodle and miniature schnauzer- bonus for the best boy!!! read more

I was taking my dog to a different groomer nearby for over a year now. I had bad experiences with the cuts the last two times. I also noticed that he would cry and hate going there. I thought it may be normal for him to act that way. I mean, what dog likes the groomer? I decided to give Kate's a try since it was nearby. What a difference!! Baxter didn't want to leave! He enjoyed his time there! And they did a great job on his cut! I am now a faithful customer! So glad I came read more

I have been brining my dog here since she was a puppy. Kate and her groomers always do a terrific job, and the price is very, very good. I would recommend that you schedule your appointment early on, because they are popular and sometimes it is hard to get a last minute appointment. read more

Took my two pomeranians there, they came home looking gorgeous and they were happy. I can tell they were treated well and they looked great. First time the groomer listened! I have paid twice that amount and received nothing worth half the amount i paid today. They cost less than the cheap-o petsmart/petco grooming, do a WAY better job and took good care of my babies. I will recommend them to EVERYONE! read more

Love this place the staff is great and do a great job. They have you dog child in and out in a timely manner and the fact that the same two people are always there make it great for dogs with anxiety issues. My pug only lets them cut his nails and no one else because that's how comfy they make him feel. read more

Well they did shave him like I said but they did not do a very good job on his head it looks like a man with a very bad haircut he didn't smell as good as I would've liked him to my old groomer always had my animals smelling very fresh with some sort of powder we do like his tail however he does seem to be happy after leaving here but this is the second time that I haven't been really happy with the way that he has smelt even after a bath as much as I hate to I'm going to try to find someone else read more

I took my little Morkie Champ to get his very first haircut! Kate was awesome! She slowly let Champ get to know her in a very patient and caring manner. A couple hours later, I got her call that Champ was ready. I went to pick him up and he was all cleaned up and nicely groomed! He was happy and looks fantastic! It was a fabulous experience! I highly recommend the Pampered Pooch! read more

I really hesitate with giving with this place 2 stars. We've been here a few times now, and the cuts and service are definitely 5 stars. However, the last time I was there, I noticed that the groomers left a dog on the table to get a phone call. I'm a big proponent of safety and worry that one day it could be my own dog left on the table, and an accident could happen. Otherwise, I think Kate and her assistant do a great job, and I've always been pleased with the service. Do call at least a week in advance as they're pretty popular. read more

I happily make the 45 minute commute to Kate's. I know my dog will get a great cut, in a timely manner, and will be treated fantastically! My yorkie is a sweetheart, but he is a big big wuss. Kate is fantastic, going above and beyond to minimize anxiety and make it as comfortable as possible for HIM. It is clear they deeply care about the doggies AND their owners! read more

I had a great first experience here! It was my dog's first time getting groomed, and they made me feel comfortable that they would get the job done. Her hair turned out really!

visited 2 times prior to the appointment. They were supper friendly and greeting my old grump, I am really iffy about taking him to any groomer he always comes home limping (he has bad hips) , This time no limping! I can actually say he came home happy and in a good mood! I loved it there! Will recommend them. I am a helicopter fur baby parent . lol read more

I have been taking my dogs to Kate at Pampered Pooch for over 8+ years. She has always done a great job with them and they love going to the groomers. Even the one who hates of going to the vet, jumps out of the car when we arrive at Kate's. She's always shown loving care for my dogs and is not only highly skilled as a groomer but very professional. I am moving to McAllen soon and my pups will definitely miss her as will I. It will be hard to find a replacement there, I'm sure. Winston and Cassidy read more

The owner shaved my Yorkie to the point that his genitals are raw from razor burn. If you love your animal don't let him endure this type of cruelty. She did this once before but I decided to try and give the small business a second chance. I reminded her of my past concern and told her that he needed to look like a Yorkie. She reassured me that she would not repeat her past actions. Later when I arrived, she said" Oh I am so sorry! I have been so busy that I forgot and shaved him!" To do this to an animal is cruel especially at this time of year. Her mind was not on the welfare of my dog! There is no excuse for this type of maltreatment especially when you do it twice and call it a mistake. He looks like a chihuahua instead of a yorkie- she even shaved his ears. Don't take your pet here! read more

Kate always takes the extra time with my Daisy girl, she's usually a hairy mess walking in and ALWAYS a happy, clean, beautifully groomed schnoodle girl when she's leaving. And I ask her special things that aren't on the "Usual" cut but Kate's always accommodating to our needs ! read more

Don't follow directions very well. The intake person was very nice and seemed interested in getting done what I requested. Even heard her retell my instructions to another employee. When I stopped in thirty minutes after he was supposed to be ready, I was met with no eye contact and the curt news that he wasn't done yet and to give them another 45 minutes to an hour (It shouldn't take 4 hours to bathe and groom a 17 lb. dog..). Gave my dog a pretty bad haircut and surely didn't do what I asked. I paid (and tipped 20%!!) before I got him home and really looked at him. Also, he's been acting weird ever since he got back. I'm not alleging animal abuse but he never acted like this after getting groomed before. Won't be going back. read more

It's so painful to have to write this review. I took my assistance animal to Kate for 2 years with no complaints. Kate took on an assistant and I am almost sure she is the one that hurt my baby. I took her in for her regular grooming and when I picked her up she seemed very nervous and scared. Very unusual, she was usually happy and feeling good. When I got her home I noticed that she evidently had not been bathed. She had on her little bandanna, but had an awful smell, as if she had anal gland material all over her. She seemed to have problems eating, too. I opened her mouth and her 2 front bottom teeth were loose and falling out. She did not have dental disease, so I knew it wasn't that. That lead to one conclusion, whoever groomed her somehow loosened her teeth. I am on a very limited income, so there is no way I can afford to take her to a doggie dentist. What hurts the most is that I took her there. I am to blame for whatever awful experience she had to endure. She has a very, very sweet nature and is a small dog. She is a registered, trained service dog and wakes me if I stop breathing or have an abnormal breathing pattern at night. I am so blessed to have her and am sure she has saved my life many times. So, Kate, I hope you no longer have that assistant groomer at your salon. I am so sorry that we cannot return. I can no longer brag about how wonderful your salon is to family and friends. read more

They are great with my dog and he always comes back looking amazing. Thanks pampered pooch!!!

So glad I found this place! My puppy absolutely loves coming here! Thank you ladies for always taking care of my baby!!! 110% recommend!!!!

Went here based on the reviews and was disappointed. My pooch came out with patches and a hair cut that looks like I could have done it. On top of that I over heard a worker on the phone saying they don't believe in rabies shots and doesn't require them. Now waiting for my pooches hair to grow out so I can take him to a better groomer. Don't waste your money here. read more

Pampered Pooch is way out of the way for me to drive to, but its totally worth it. I just moved from Austin the dog friendliest city full of a plethura of groomers so I was wary to try one here in SA but Pampered Pooch is where its at for my sweet little boy Zeppelin, a furry black maltipoo. He's a wiggler and frankly isn't a big fan of the grooming process. However, the groomer played with him before and got him feeling comfortable. I told her exactly how I wanted him to look and wasn't disappointed like I had been in the past at other grooming salons that I paid high dollar and received less than stellar service. Pampered Pooch is affordable $35 for my pup which didn't break the bank however gave my baby the pampering he deserved. When I picked him up, he was running around and playing with the other dogs and the groomers. Love this place! read more

Winston (my dog) usually doesn't do well with groomers or kennels, but he gets along well with the staff here. The customer service could use some finessing. The price is average and, for me, the location works so I'm a returning customer. I would love this place if the staff was a little more personable and warm. This is Texas after all! read more

I have taken my yorkie/maltese mix Belle to Pampered Pooch for four years now. Linda is wonderful with dogs. Always remembers my dog and my dog is in a good mood when she is picked up. My dog went in several times matted and she fixed her right up. I did not get criticized. She is always very busy when I go in and I see how that can be perceived as rude. I wouldn't take my dog anywhere else. read more

This review is long overdue. I typically don't yelp unless I have a really good, or really bad, experience. I've been taking my 2 year old, 13-pound, male shih tzu, Tex, to the Pampered Pooch the past 1.5 years. Staff: Kate and the other lady (same one the past 1.5 years, so she is experienced) are wonderful. They consistently know how to style Tex's hair and the drop off/pick up is expedient. I always receive a phone call/voicemail when Tex is ready to be picked up. Quality/Skill: Tex is not a docile pup and he is not shy about expressing it. Despite that, Kate is able to handle/groom Tex in a way that I could only dream of. He is fully bathed, smelling delicious, trimmed (with those cute mitten paw style) and she magically somehow is also able to trim all around his eyes and nose (for a smush face dog this is hard!). I typically ask for the "teddy bear" look and Kate is able to cut his hair like this consistently. I have never seen a nick/cut on Tex after he comes back from Kate. Equipment: Clearly, Kate and her staff have the correct equipment to properly groom pets. They have specific pet grooming tables with the extending arms, which include a loop leash to keep your pet centered on the table. Avoids any dogs flying off the tables! Every time I have come in to pick up Tex and Kate/staff are working on another dog, they remove the dog from the table and place the dog in a kennel. This is very important because this avoids unnecessary accidents! Location: Centrally located off Huebner Road in a shopping center. Now there is a pet supply store right next door, so you may be able to run other pet errands at the same time. The store is clean, organized and spacious. Price: For full bath, cut, nail trim, anal glands expressed I think it's ~$50, but I always leave a handsome tip, so I typically walk out paying about $65. For the quality, convenience and assurance that my dog is treated well I think this price is very fair. Last Note: I saw a review from someone upset that the dog was shaved down quite a bit. Just keep in mind, that any groomer can certainly comb and comb and comb through knots and matts, but this is really not comfortable for your dog. Having a shih tzu, if I go too long between haircuts, his hair is bound to get matted. Rather than put him through the discomfort of the dematting, I'd prefer his hair just be cut short. This is easily avoided by me taking him in more frequently, so really it's my own fault! Will update this review with pics of Tex looking freshy freshy since he's at the Pampered Pooch today! read more

Love it! Reasonably priced, very clean, and both my pups always seem very happy whenever I come pick them up. They're quick, but do an excellent job. I'm definitely going to be bringing them back again. :) read more

I"ve been to a few groomers here in San Antonio. Some were great, but the groomers were horrible with customer service. Here at Kate's Pampered Pooch - they do a great job with grooming my 2 Coton de Tulears. I've never been disappointed in the services I've paid for - which is actually very reasonably priced here. Kate is always very friendly and helpful. Only downsides to this place: they close right at 5 so I have to make adjustments with my work schedule, but it's not a big deal. It's hard to get in touch with her on the phone since they're only open I think from 7 - 5? and i think it's just her and one other groomer so if they're both busy, no one answers the phones. read more

They did a great job on my shih tzu, cut just how I asked for. Dropped her off and picked up about 3 hours later. No problems.

I have been taking my dogs here for several years now after going through many different groomers prior. It's hard to find a good groomer!! Kate and staff are amazing, they are so sweet to my dogs which I appreciate so much. My pups always look great and the prices are reasonable. I wouldn't take my dogs anywhere else!!! read more
