I was having breakfast next door with my daughter and my pup. I was saying I needed to get him bathed the next day and she was facing the sign for Pet Partners that said they take walk ins. So I walked over and they were super nice. I had him bathed and de-shedded. He sheds like crazy. When in picked him up it was the best grooming he's ever had and the de-shedding was fantastic. I'm definitely coming back. read more

I love this place and trust them with grooming my pets. The owner is really friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell he loves animals and takes pride in his business. My baby and I are regulars. read more

What a hidden gem for dogs. House of Paw in Belmont Shore abruptly closed down so we didn't have a dog groomer anymore. I desperately called to see if I could get my dogs in and the owner was very nice and said they could get cut same day. My Shih tzu is a handful and he did really well with Pet Partners. Dropped my babies off at 11 and they were both ready by 3! They were pretty matted but the groomer did so well. It was $150 for both so a little higher than what I'm used to but I will be back. It's worth the drive for my pups. They also sell food! The owner gave me free samples I'm excited to let my dogs try. read more

I decided to try this place as my pup needed a specific chew and wanted to make a walk of it with her. As SOON as I walked in, the smell of urine was so overwhelming! I forgot what the hell we went there for! With my eyes starting to water, I asked the owner REALLY fast if he had that chew and he quickly looked at what he had, grabbed something really quick, and while waiting for me to grab it, he said, "Here." I said, "no, that's not it." As soon as he turned around to look again, we bolted! I knew he didn't have it and even if he did, that chew would make my whole house smell like that place if I took it home and I sure as all things wholy wasn't going to let my pup chew on it! GAG!! I'm sorry but there is NO reason for a place to smell like that! NO REASON!! read more

Highly recommended for cat owners! It is extremely hard to find a good cat groomer place that will make a nice haircut for your cat without looking crazy. They took such a great care of my cat and I could tell my cat wasn't stressed at all. The guys were very friendly and it's obvious that they know what's best for your pets and they recommend a lot of things. I also started to buy some food for my cat there Highly recommend to support local businesses. read more

I always see negative reviews so I wanted to share that I've always had really great experiences when it comes to my little kitty JiJi. I've been coming here for years and she's always had an excellent lion cut! She always looks so snazzy. Only downside is that my other cat doesn't recognize her without her 20lbs of fur. If you want your kitty to have a fresh cut come here! read more

Albert's knowledge is invaluable. He and his groomer's take the best care of my very difficult to groom dog Wookie. He needs more time because he's a rescue and still has trust issues with grooming. I'll post some photos of his recent haircut that both he and I are absolutely grateful for. I'm going to take advantage of his daycare next week while my apartment gets pest control treatment. I trust Albert more than any groomer I've dealt with. read more

Walked in one day to check out the store and was greeted by the nicest guy ever! Talked a bit and mentioned my pitty had a sensitive stomach and we couldn't find anything for her to eat that worked for her. He recommended some great products that are now our go to! Really knowledgeable about the products on hand, you can always tell when someone takes joy in their job and this place is it! Your furry friend is in good hands here :) read more

Love this place! Albert is so knowledgeable about cats and dogs and pets in general. If you want to take your pet to a place where they actually care for your pet, this is the spot! I recommend it to anyone, the prices are very affordable and their services are all amazing! Go check it out, they also just opened a second location 15min away from the original location. Def a hidden gem. read more

Do not come here, the owner, the guy with grey curly hair, is absolutely rude. Quick to finish your sentence for you, rush you out the store, and gives off snake oil salesman vibes when he is trying to downplay big name brand stores like Petco. My first time walking into this store I felt like I was hustled into buying a bunch of random miscellaneous items.The sign that he has on the door directs you to call a number for after hours, since the store closes at 10, but it goes straight to voice mail. I addressed that to him but he brushed me off and changed the subject in the rudest of ways. Save your time and money, go support another store, this place is a dead end and the guy needs to pack up and hit the road. Makes me sick to my stomach every time I have to make a last minute run to this TERRIBLY MANAGED STORE whenever other places aren't open. If you don't want to feel like you have been hustled go elsewhere. read more

My elder cat was in need of a last min wash before heading to the vet. She was experiencing incontinence and I was pretty shaken up. So, I was relieved to discover Pet Partners was the only place that could take her immediately. It's true what people are saying about the owner. He did attempt to guilt me into the free samples but that wasn't the worst of it. When I first arrived he swiftly took my cat into the back without giving me the opportunity to say goodbye. When he came back he told me I'll get her back within two days. I could only assume he was joking but his deadpan delivery was unsettling. He eventually confirmed his attempt at making me laugh but all I could muster was a Wan smile. When I called to check on the status of things he said, "OH do you really want to get your baby?" Of course I did! I was in no mood for his lousy attempts at humor and drove down to the store to rescue my cat from this weirdo. The owner began his sales pitch when I arrived. I started by asking me about MY personal diet and used that as an opportunity to interrogate me about the food I give my cat. Mind you, he did all this before he even left to retrieve my cat. When I finally discarded any social obligation to be polite and cut the conversation short, the owner acted insulted. My cat was clean and the service was dirt cheap, but I will never return for I cannot trust they have my pets interest in mind. read more

Pet Partners has been my go-to pet supply store for over 10 years. The owner, Albert, has always been a helpful, kind, and funny person with great advice to keep your pets healthy and happy. Now with a second location near Broadway & Redondo Ave, I recommend Pet Partners, and Pet Partners 2, for all of your pets supply and grooming needs! read more

They handed me my dog bleeding, he was so scared, and covered in flees! Will never return here!

Amazing personalized service, Albert is the best! He and his staff of groomers, and salespeople are very knowledgeable, they genuinely care about your pet, personalized service that you would not get from a chain store, support your local small business, they do on the spot nail trim for cat /dog for only $5!!! They recommend the best nutrition for your baby, also give you helpful hints, on how to train, feed, and take care of your furry friend! I cannot say enough good things about Albert and his staff! So like I said, rather than go to a chain store, where you're just a number, go where they know your name, they know your pet's name, anticipate your needs, execute, and deliver! All with personalized friendly service and you're supporting local business! No appointment necessary walk-ins welcome! Five stars all the way! read more

I spoke to Albert two days before bringing in a stray cat for a flea bath, deworming, and to check her ears for mites. I emphasized that my plan was to take her for low-cost vaccinations right after, as I couldn't let her near my indoor cat without them. Albert even recommended a cheap animal hospital for vaccinations. Affordability was my priority, which is why I chose Albert despite a neighbor's warning about him making his dog's nails bleed. So I specifically did not request nail trimming on the form they ask you to fill out, but clearly do not read. When I returned three hours later, I noticed the cat reeked of a strong perfumed odor, and to my horror, she was bleeding from just about every nail (and continued for 5-6 hours.) Whoever groomed her was either high or visually impaired. Albert then told me the cat couldn't be vaccinated or dewormed because she might be pregnant. Despite not being a vet, he declared her "healthy enough" to be around my indoor cat - this, after butchering her nails, making it impossible for me to release her back outside, as she could no longer defend herself. The final blow was the $100 bill. Where was the low-cost grooming service advertised outside his door? Why didn't Albert call me when he realized the cat might be pregnant, especially knowing that I would have asked him to stop? It's clear he chose profit over professionalism and common sense. I regret trusting him, and I can't recommend his services to anyone. and for the record, the stray was NOT safe to be around my cat, as per a real qualified vet. read more

All of the other reviews are so scary!!! But my senior chizer Jimmi and I have been pleased with service here. My first visit was to ask about grooming prices and the owner gave me various bags of food for my dog to sample. I returned to have my dog washed and nails trimmed. Jimmi is usually afraid and runs away at grooming spots, but he went right on to be groomed! And when I returned to pick him up, he was happy to see me but happy with the experience also. After a bad experience he will typically jump up on me and try and get me to take him away. After his bath here, he continued to sniff around and ignored me after his initial greeting. Hoping the experience is consistent. read more

Stay away from this pet shop. However my dog may have acted, I truly am disappointed that I saw his reviews here after the fact that I was a customer. He said it was a "pimple. " and to keep an eye on it. Whoever is back there grooming, needs to be fired immediately. Protect your babies . read more

5 stars!!! I've visited several shops in the area and this one is a stand out. Got my kittens nails clipped and also some better quality food than what's available at most stores. The owner also answered all my questions in regards to my kittens health and well being because I'm a first time cat dad. I read the bad reviews on yelp before visiting and I got to say, they're way off. I genuinely feel like he cares about my pet. Thank you! read more

The owner presents himself as an authority on all things pets. He's quick to dismiss big-name pet stores and even your local vet, urging customers to come to him first for anything "non-serious." I'm all for avoiding unnecessary vet visits and exploring natural alternatives, but things quickly started to feel off. The red flag for me was when he confidently told me never to feed my dog "human food." As someone who's spent years studying canine nutrition, I was shocked. Are we really discouraging people from feeding their dogs real food-meat, vegetables, fruit, in favor of ultra-processed kibble that can sit on a shelf for years? That kind of advice is not just outdated, it's misinformed. Our dogs are eating dead food and we wonder why they suffer from allergies, cancer, and short like spans. If you're curious, I highly recommend reading The Forever Dog by Rodney Habib and Dr. Karen Becker. But what turned me off completely was the lack of transparency and questionable sales tactics. I asked for a flea treatment, and without discussion, he placed a single pouch labeled "not for retail", clearly taken from a 4-pack of Advantage. He threw it into the bag so fast I didn't realize until I got home. He also sold me a flea spray that retails for around $15.99 online. I was distracted at checkout (he talks a lot), and I left without checking my receipt. Later, I saw that I had been charged $64! For just that single flea treatment and the spray. For reference, a full 4-pack of that flea treatment usually costs around $50 retail. That markup is ridiculous. Be wary of places that operate like this: lots of talk, lots of "trust me," and very little transparency. Dishonesty is a deal breaker for me. I really wanted to like this place, I came in with good intentions,but sadly, I won't be back. There are better, more honest pet suppliers out there. read more

How do I start! So many products to choose from, they offer grooming for your furry kid ‍ even nail trimming, etc. definitely will be coming back The gentleman in the front was so helpful thank you for all the advice read more

I took my dog to get her nails clipped and when Albert brought her out to me her paws were bleeding. The store is always jam packed and dusty. Must check expiration date on any product you intent to buy as he leaves expired products on the shelf available for sale in hopes buyer will not notice read more

If you have to buy any food for your animals, treats, etc., check the expiration date. We bought a pour-over gravy for our dog and she threw up after eating it. I checked the box and it was expired by a year. Recently, we came in for calming treats because of the 4th of July, and only when I got home I noticed it was expired by 3 years! He shames you into spending more money, we've tried coming back to support small businesses but he is not ethical. He does not care about your animals. read more

I got a flier about their new location, so walked in and set up an appointment for the following weekend. The day of I showed up to find a grand opening celebration happening (not mentioned when I set up the appointment).

Took my Pom here yesterday for the first time and the reviews about the lectures and jokes are true but I don't feel it comes from a bad place. My puppy looked very handsome and smelled so good! Got some free food samples, but it was pricey! My 6lb Pom had a sanitary groom with flea drops, a collar, harness and leash and my total was $194. I'm 50/50 about this place after reading reviews but my personal experience was decent. read more

I was a loyal customer until my cat was seriously injured while being groomed. My cat came in for routine grooming as she is a Persian. Noticed a dark spot on her side when I got home from picking her up, two days later is was a whole open wound. And it was big!! Took her back to the shop and Albert said it was a "hot spot" and nothing to do with the grooming. Had to take her to the vet, due to the size of the wound and I was nervous. Vet said it looked like a burn, Albert insisted no heat was used. I just took my cat to a new groomer and explained my horror story and she said clippers can get really hot if the blades aren't changed, so my educated guess is that's what happened. I ignored the negative reviews here and I wish I didn't. Proceed with caution!!!!!!!!! Picture of her scar as the actual wound was pretty aggressive ALSO, the other reviews about the owner over charging and sneaking in like and extra $10 is correct, I had it happen more than once. read more

We took my girlfriend's cats to have their nails capped and were charged $40 each which I thought was a bit steep. We were told the caps should last about a month, give or take. Some of the caps came off a couple weeks later so I returned to have the missing ones replaced, happy to pay for the service This time I was told it was $65 for each cat. $130. For nail caps. I told him I wasn't comfortable paying that, least of all for nail caps that had to be replaced. He said he'd been doing business with my girlfriend for years and that she would be fine with that price. I texted her and she was shocked and also not comfortable with that price. When I showed him her text he began raising his voice at me and being impolite. Obviously we wont be doing business here anymore. read more

Please beware, I took my dog in for a wash and nail clip. He had been here a few times. But this time when I got a call to pick him up, he said my dog was having a seizure. He was only 5 years old. I raced down to the shop, but when I got there, my dog was dead. My dog had never had a seizure before, so now I have guilt that I should have never taken him there. Not sure what practices they use in the grooming room, but looking at these other reviews, I really wonder how this shop operates. The owner didn't show much remorse, his only concern was me getting my dead dog out so it didn't interup his business. I would probably seek out alternative places to get your dog groomed as this place seems unsafe, if only I had seen the reviews before. RIP Kozmo read more

I have taken my cats for their nail clippings, purchased Fromm food products, cat litter, litter pans, anti-hairball medication, cat wipes, Lysine, and pet ointment from here. But I also think my cats caught fleas during their nail clippings here. While I have had some okay experiences, I'm writing about a very negative experience I had in mid-May. First of all, while Alberto might be nice to other customers, he always raised his voice and was very condescending to me -- for no reason. I came to this realization when I saw him interact with other customers in front of me. I find this disturbing. The last straw for me (and the last time I plan to step foot in the store was May), I was buying litter, and Alberto recommended a particular brand --but took his time bringing out the litter in the back so I waited for it. When I was finally returning to car with the litter, the city's parking enforcement was taking a picture of my car -- no ticket yet. Another van had been blocking the no parking/street sweeping sign. I got a $70 ticket even though I was only there for 5-10mins (A huge fine as I was underemployed at the time)!!! There was no other parking available that day. Alberto PROMISES me that it happens all the time and the city will void my ticket if I show my receipt to the city. I got to the city immediately, and go 2 other times. The City of Long Beach's corrupt Parking Department forced to pay the $70, threatened to bill me with $125 while I was contesting the ticket. I paid and appealed and provided the receipt, and the appeal got denied 5 months later. A lot of money and time wasted over being unfortunate enough to go to this pet store and parking for 5-10 mins on a street sweeping day. This store is close to my house but now I would rather drive 6 miles to Pet Pantry to get my pet supplies. I have no plans to return to Pet Partners. read more

Alberto, the owner, is incredible. He really cares about his work. I have never had my cat groomed or haircut and I wasn't sure what to expect but Alberto made the whole experience comfortable and it was clear how much he cares about animals. He took great care of her and even gave her some treats. Once I picked her up, he gave me info on specific cat needs regarding food and what I've been feeding my cats and even gave me 4-5 small bags of samples. Really great experience and would 100% recommend Pet Partners any day. This is my go to spot for my kitty's. read more

Albert knows about our cat and dog babies. He takes care of the kids. Nail clipping is $5 for dogs, maybe for cats too, but I usually do it along with getting the cat bathed, so not sure if cat mail clipping is a different fee. Flea dip, he does that. Pet supplies, he's got them. Oh, you have that, yes, my babies need that, also. Look for the big GREEN building on Broadway. And I learned today, pet bathing stops at 6pm. But the store is open until 10pm. My old dog knows the place and can walk the few blocks to the store. He looks forward to the trips. Drop by. It's a very small business, but if he doesn't have something in stock, he's willing to order it for you, or make suggestions for alternatives. Support our local small businesses. If this review has helped you and you go to the store for your fur babies, please leave a review. Best to you all and your fur family. read more

So l've been looking for a good groomer for some time. Most groomers don't want to work with my doggie since she can be easily stressed. I came here and right away they were able to understand her. She was so calm and did so well here. When I got her back she smelled so good and got some cute bows added to her. I will definitely keep coming back for her service. Also, I found so many healthy snacks while waiting to get her checked in. would highly recommend coming to check this spot out. read more

I've been coming to this place for years. My rabbit is groomed here, my kitten is groomed here. In the past any pet I've had I've taken here. I found a stray kitten, he was full of fleas. No other place would take him for cleaning. Not Petsmart. Not petco not any grooming place I called. They said he needed shots, he couldn't have fleas. Um, I need to get him cleaned because of the fleas people. Idk if he has shots, he is a stray. Vets said he was too young for his first series of shots. Pet partners took him in. Cleaned him up. The owner said, bring your baby in now. He gave me free kitten food samples, trusted me enough to take home some flea spray and come back to pay. This place , the owner and all of the staff is amazing. They love your babies as if they are theirs. Don't go to those other stores.

This is the 3rd time getting her hair done at pet partners, and overall never disappointed. This time tho they could have done better shaving off her fur because they gave her a couple bald spots. Total price was 65 for her to be groomed and get her nails trimmed! And if you only want to get nails trimmed it's only 5$! Any questions you have about your dog, they have answers! If it had to do with clinical wise, medication, and even advice! This is the top store for your pet. They have everything! This is my first dog and I'm glad to have a store that can help first time parents in the best way possible. read more
