I've been coming here for several years. Its out of my way but I do it anyways to het cat food.

Unsure how this place managed to get these fake reviews. Store owners showed up late (pulled up 5 minutes after my apartment) with a line of customers waiting outside already. Nearly a dozen appointments all scheduled for 9:30 AM with two groomers! Our dog has been to three different groomers and has always been considered and "angel" and "perfectly behaved". He has never nipped or been slightly aggressive toward anyone. After our dog was there for an hour we received a phone call saying he was "attacking" them. Upon arrival I witnessed the staff being aggressive with the dogs all crammed in a small over packed space. I would not wish this type of service on my biggest enemy. Go elsewhere and do not get scammed out of your $35 deposit like I did! read more

Great little family business. They take good care of my dog & she looks & smells good when they are done.

Chaotic experience! Showed up to my 9am apt with 10+ patrons waiting outside. Owners slowly came out of their car, opened the shop and didn't apologize.. at 10:00 AM, the shop called me to say they were not giving my dog a groom due to aggression.. my dog has never been aggressive in his two years. What was my dog doing from 9am-10am? Just sitting in a cage surrounded by 10 plus dogs. I made a 9am apt why was he just sitting around for an hour? I provided a 35 dollar non refundable deposit.. this is how they make their money. read more

We tried The Pet Stop today for 2 of our dogs and absolutely loved it! Our little dog hates having her nails touched and she even did good with them, they said she was well behaved. She even took a treat from her! We will definitely be back , give them a try, your pets will be so happy!! read more

Highly recommend! We get our Bernedoodle cut down when her hair gets too long. They do a great job and really care about your pet!

Took my dog Cici here for the first time and they did such a wonderful job! The owners were so sweet, accommodating, and even gave me a discount when I asked about Groupon. They took great care of Cici--I'll definitely be back and highly recommend them! read more

3/7/24 We've been loyal customers of The Pet Stop for over 20yrs. Joe & Ray were our multiple pet's family. Olive & Penelope's lifetime groomers. Recently Jacob & Francine bought and has picked up the torch of this community benefit business. An ever-so-slight preference learning curve, by third appointment, our Twins are as adorable as ever, and we are so pleased. For us, the transition is near seamless. read more

Recommended by a friend with 2 large Goldens...our Border/Aussie has so much fur and needs grooming regularly. Bella was well cared for, groomed beautifully and when I asked for slightly more taken from the back of her hind legs, they were happy to accommodate my request. Lovely family, great work! Scheduled so our guests at Thanksgiving (who are allergic) will be comfortable! Thank you! read more

We brought our Bo to visit Pet Stop in Ventura and after his bath and cut he looked awesome and we approve 6 stars for this cool shop but had to settle for the max of 5 allowed! We love your Pet Stop! read more

We brought our beloved dog Gillie to Pet Stop on National Dog Day-8/26 to pamper her because she is a loved member of our family but within hours she was gone forever ! Let me explain, she was brought into the grooming area, she was scared and afraid and nipped the groomer, the groomer let go of the leash and Gillie escaped from the back area to the front and than out the front door, there were no barriers in place, doors and access were open for her to run into the parking lot and across a Main Street to a construction lot! We were called at this point and we searched along with the groomer but she was gone! A few hours later we were informed she was hit by a car and taken to a local animal hospital, where they tried to revive Gillie but she was gone! I can't describe the shock and sadness we feel, we are devastated as a family, but I want to stress the groomer was very helpful looking for Gillie, finding her and taking her to the hospital as well as covering her end of life expenses.I want to conclude by saying Pet Stop needs to do better in the future, there needs to be a system in place where doors are not left open and barriers are in place to make sure this does not happen to another dog family, dogs get scared and spooked but Giilie did not deserve to die this way! read more

The New Owners are Great ! Very Patient and Caring to my dog's needs. Addressed all their grooming needs. Very happy and pleased with the outcome..( I took both my fur babies) read more

They don't know how to groom dogs. Very inexperienced. Not sure if they're even certified. Thankfully, they refunded my money.

Loved the pet shop! Francine did an amazing job grooming my dog. She looks adorable. The shop was so cute. Such amazing customer service. Will definitely be going back. read more

Good service on my retriever/Great Pyrenees mix. Will be back, also had a friendly staff

Took my Girls to the pet stop today. And I'm so happy I did, Francine was the groomer we had and she did everything we asked for. Francine and my nephew went to the same Grooming Academy, so when he told us about this place we wanted to try. Our pups have never looked better. And it was a quick process (2 hours) so thankful for this place. Will definitely be back. Thank you Pet Stop. read more

Jacob and Francine are very friendly and my dog coco loves them. Our fury pets don't lie when it comes to good and kind groomers. Thank you for taking care of us just like Joe and Ray did for years! I want to wish you all the success you and your family deserve ! Welcome to our community and please keep up the great job! I love all the changes and the organization you have made to the shop it looks amazing. JOE AND RAY must be very proud they passed on the torch to you both. People must remember you bought and invested in the business it wasn't a donation. With new owners new ideas and great changes are welcome!!!Happy New Year 2025!!! read more

We went to Ventura for the weekend. We are not from the area, but our dog needed grooming. From the moment my wife made the phone call, they made us feel so comfortable. They did a same-day appointment and updated us every step of the way. these people take customer service, like we take in breathing, it comes natural. If I could take their business and move it to the Lake Arrowhead area, I am all in. I wish this business the best of luck and a thriving business. read more

I have been coming here off and on for a couple years and I wanted to make a review because I have to say I am so overly satisfied with how they groomed my shih tzu, Daisy. She was brought out to me looking absolutely beautiful! They shaped her face EXACTLY how I asked them to, she was silky smooth like I have never felt her coat before, cleaned her ears.. they were impeccably clean. She has allergies and her breed has ear issues with itching and I swear she has no issues for 3 weeks now since her grooming. I can go on and on at this point. But last my Daisy was calm coming back from being groomed not in distress like she has in the past. Both Daisy and I agree they are the best!! read more

Ray and Joe are gone and the new owners are clueless! They asked what kind of cut I wanted, I said Cocker, they said oh like schnauzer? I said no. 8 hours later, I picked up my new schnauzer! read more

The new owners gave my mom the wrong dog, then argued with her about it. Then, said new owner called me and further proved they do not care one bit about proper, or even half way decent customer service. WILD!!!! Edit: It's funny that before I left a review, there were none for the new ownership. All of the sudden now on one of the other review sites, one hour after I leave mine, there are two glowing reviews. All the best to the new owners and any dog family that bring their babes here. Helpful advice; maybe bring a photo of the dog you dropped off with them when you come to pick your fur babe up.... read more

I love taking my dog to this place. They are wonderful to her and do a great job grooming. They are very busy so you must book ahead, but that is because everyone loves them. My only reservation with leaving a review is that they might become too busy!! Thanks Joe and Ray! read more

Joe & Ray are the greatest. They have been so kind and gentle with my new pup Sadie. They are amazing at grooming her. I wouldn't take her any where else! read more

Tonto is always so handsome and happy after his visit to the Pet Stop. He really responds well to their kindness, care and professionalism.

Best groomers, very friendly and loving with all the dogs. Store is filled with treats, clothing, and anything needed for your pets. Must book in advance, well worth it. Not a super store, just your local friendly groomer pet store. Thankful! read more

This hidden gem is close to my apartment complex and never thought about taking my rescued chihuahua there due to her (what we thought) aggressive bark...Joe and Ray did such a great job handling my precious baby with care, they put my anxiety at ease and did a wonderful job grooming her since she won't let us groom her. Besides the excellent service, the price is very hard to beat. Maui will be a repeat customer. Thank you Joe and Ray. read more

We have been with Pet Stop for over 17 years. Joe and Ray are excellent at grooming and friendly customer services. We started with our first dog Isis, a Westie, in 2004 and continue with our second dog, Yoda, a miniature poodle. They expertly bathe, trim and cut toenails as well as sell a variety of dog food, treats, harnesses, leashes and wonderful toys. Very reasonably priced and try hard to accommodate our grooming requests. Joe and Ray you are so appreciated! read more

Wonderful place for grooming both cats and dogs. Super friendly and reasonably priced.

Ray and Joe are great! My puppy always looks beautiful and enjoys seeing them when she gets spiffied up! Make your reservations ahead of time as they are busy! Prices are great especially since I have a very large dog, and they do an awesome job with Vida. read more

Joe and Ray are just great! We have been taking our labrador to them for years since the time we adopted him and before that our adopted retriever before he passed away at a very old age. The guys are excellent with our dog and they always do such a great job with his "spa day". Great prices and flexible scheduling even though they are extremely popular and busy - but well worth the time it takes to get in to see them. read more

Joe and ray are wonderful people enjoy what they do have a good stock of safe and organic products that are affordable. My dog loves the jerky only .25 cents each as well as other fresh snacks to mix n match... They give that all around small shop time A+++ customer service. read more

The guy's do a great job with the pets. They are very friendly and take care of the animals.

This place is the best! Joe and Ray are fantastic. We've been bringing our dogs here for at least 12 years and we have never had anything but wonderful experiences. It is always worth it to book appointments in advance as they are quite the popular shop. Prices are great and they have a great little selection of doggie goodies. Our dogs have always came back happy, stress free (we had a teacup poodle so stress free for her says a lot!!), smelling great and the girls have the cutest little boys in their hair when finished. Just got a puppy myself and I am glad i can't wait til his old enough to bring in here. read more
