Found Pono's on Yelp when I had just rescued my dog. Was a little worried as my dog was a bit aggressive with strangers but he was in need of a good bath. I called and the gentleman who answered was so sweet and understanding. I informed him of my dog's aggression and he said that was okay they had forms to help out and ensure the safety of all. That made me feel so much calmer. Took my dog and everyone was so lovely and patient with my little dude. And once I got him back he looked so much better and happier. I haven't gone anywhere else and always make sure to schedule with Pono's. read more

5 stars I can't say enough good things about this place! Leo always comes back looking so dapper, like he's ready for a photoshoot. The staff is beyond amazing--they're kind, talented, and treat him like their own. He walks out every time with a wag in his tail and a little extra pep in his step. If you want your pup pampered to perfection, look no further! read more

Amazing service!! The best in the city. They really do an amazing job with washing and trimming my pooch!! Highly recommended

We've been bringing Rufus here for the past two years and always have a great experience. They're super punctual, efficient, and just really easy to work with. Rufus always comes back looking fresh and happy. The team is friendly, listens to feedback, and clearly cares about the pets. Bonus points for the convenient parking lot -- makes drop-off and pick-up a breeze. Never had any issues, and we'll definitely keep coming back! read more

Omg my dog was so happy and they even returned her with a little bow colar it was the cutest! She got a deep organic container and it was amazing! They asked if there were any specialty requests I said yes bc my dog is scared of bigger dogs so they did amazing with her and her needs. Recommending this place the owners are amazing and so kind! read more

I love this place! The owners and staff are super friendly and just lovely. It's a cute shop with an enclosed dedicated area for the doggies while they wait (no cages/kennels). I called and the man who picked up was the co-owner Josh; he patiently answered all of my questions. When I dropped off my pup, a nice lady greeted us. She was proactive in asking me what kind of haircut I wanted, down to the details. My dog doesn't trust just anyone, and she immediately took to the woman, which made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog there. They said she'd be done in about 1.5-2 hours. Sure enough, an hour and a half later, she was ready for pickup. And she was GORGEOUS dahling! The cut was exactly what we discussed. Fast, good and reasonably priced - can't beat it. We'll be back! read more

We recently tried out Pono's pooch spa after trying for weeks to get in touch with his previous groomer and so glad we did! Everyone here is extremely kind and this place is affordable. The groomer did such a great job with trimming all the areas he gets extra dirty! Buddy was very pleased with his experience as well! read more

Had a wonderful experience with Josh and Pono's Pooch Spa and will absolutely return and recommend this spot for all of your grooming needs! The dog we were dog-sitting came us with what seemed like really long nails. They were clicking and clacking loudly and he seemed to be in a bit of pain. I actually just stopped by Pono's Pooch Spa on a Saturday morning unannounced without an appointment, and asked if they 1) do stand-alone services like nail trim and 2) if they had time for any walk-ins. Josh said yes and yes, and immediately got to work! It only took about 5 minutes and we were in-and-our of Pono's. Josh was extremely friendly and informative, telling us that the dog could in fact get his nails trimmed shorter and that they were a little long. It was a very smooth process and am so happy that I dropped by here. Thanks Pono's! read more

We are so happy that we decided to take both of our dogs to Pono's Pooch Spa! Comet & Cosmo are always taken care of and loved by Josh, Sammy, & his staff. They are always welcoming & friendly when we drop off our dogs. Our two dogs have never looked so good!! Thank you again for doing and amazing job with our two fur-babies. We highly recommend this place if you're looking for a groomer! read more

Walked in with the pretty woman song playing on my phone, told them I was Richard and this was Julia, and she needed everything!! Came back for her a few hours later and she went from stinky and messy and transformed to a proper lady . I left it up to them to do any services necessary. I was very happy with the service, pricing, and overall great customer service. They are very friendly, responsive, and caring. Truly a family owned and operated business and it shows. Thank you josh and Sammi I'll be back for all of Lola's (aka julia) grooming and daycare needs. 5 stars and highly recommended! read more

Pono's Pooch Spa is excellent! They always do a fantastic job with my little chihuahua, Frijoles. He is not a fan of baths, but he loves how he feels after getting his nails clipped and after his bath there. He detests getting his nails trimmed and other groomers I tried before Pono's sometimes gave up. But Sammy and the other groomers manage to get it done. You can tell everyone really cares for dogs I highly recommend Pono's Pooch Spa. read more

Today was Chase the Dog's first visit to Pono's. We typically use a mobile groomer, but I wanted to give this business a try. The staff was very friendly and the drop off and pick up was easy. The establishment is super clean and my dog was very happy and had high energy when I picked him up. Upon arrival he was greeted and I could tell the woman was trying to make Chase feel comfortable. I am very pleased with his haircut and bath. I really liked the space they had him in when I picked him up. He was in a spacious open gated crate which I appreciate much more than groomers who cage the dogs. He was in and out within 90 minutes. I will definitely use this business again in my rotation for keeping my fur baby clean and handsome as ever! read more

I have three Maltese dogs and was able to make an appointment for all three at the same time which was amazing!! If you have multiple dogs I def recommend making a appointment ahead of time because they get booked! I loved the results, I asked to shave down my dogs in order to start a new coat for them! They looked sooo adorable with the accessories they were given! Prices were good and really appreciated how they broke down the price for me They are wonderful people and I definitely recommend this dog spa for your pups!! read more

Took my dog here after waiting patiently for them to open their wait list. It was so worth it. Let me start by saying how nice the people here are. They are patient and helpful with all the questions I had. My dog came out super cute and very happy. They did an amazing job on his cute and a spectacular job on his nails which has always been a problem at any groomer we've ever taken him to. 10 out of 10, definitely recommend them read more

Our little poodle rescue CeCe has been groomed here three times. Bath time and going through the blow dryer is definitely not her favorite thing (she's terrified in fact) but I trust the staff here to go at her pace and still do a great job. She had a scab on her belly once and Sammy took the time to notice it and go around it as to not hurt her more. CeCe leaves here looking like a brand new dog, and I'm so grateful for Ponos. I'm thankful for small businesses like this one that care about your fur baby. Not to mention prices are more affordable here. I've been to one other groomer, a bigger chain, and I could tell they rushed the dogs through a stressful experience which gave me enormous anxiety. We'll definitely bring Cece back here. read more

I was lucky enough to get an appointment for my dog during their grand opening week. I'd been waiting for this spa to open since the owner had been grooming my dog, and wasn't available while she was preparing to open this cute place! She has plenty of experience, and always does a great job. My dog is very timid and his past groomers have always told me they had a hard time with him, but she is some how able to keep him calm, and always tells me he was a good boy :) I was able to have him stay at their daycare after his grooming since I had a work meeting. Very convenient. Highly recommend! read more

I called on a Thursday mid afternoon to schedule an apportionment for my dog Teddy that very upcoming Saturday and surprisingly they were able to get him in. The atmosphere is extremely welcoming and the owner was so sweet. We received a hair cut and bath and my boy came out looking and smelling fabulous!

Took our long haired chihuahua Boba here, and are now regulars. They take such great care of her when she comes in for grooming. And we've had her go to daycare after grooming, and this is really great too. We only use it occasionally when we need to have work done at the house, but seems like the regular day care pups love it. read more

I had a great spa experience at Pono Pooch today: it was easy to make an appointment - they had one available the next day. What I liked best was that there was not any waiting time. I got there and it was my turn immediately and I was done after about an hour. No horrible crating until it's my turn like they have at other places I have been before which were kinda traumatizing... Pono's is a run by a super nice couple who know what they are doing and also give good recommendations. My mom also got a good, compatible rate. Coming back here for my next grooming for sure! read more

I love Sammy !! Let's just say my dog isn't the friendliest dog when it comes to strangers so I was very worried about bringing him around to get his nails trimmed. But Sammy is a miracle worker. I did initially put a muzzle on him just in case but when Sammy was all done she was carrying him without a muzzle. She even praised him and was surprised I was so worried. Definitely coming back here for more nail trimmings. My brother-in-law also comes here to get his cat groomed and she does such an amazing job. Especially with a fuzzy ragdoll, she knows exactly what to do while keeping our pets looking amazing. read more

I saw this place while I was shopping across the street at north gate market, I have a six month old puppy, I had been trying to get an appointment at some of those places with super good ratings since it was my puppies first time getting groomed but all places were either closed or fully booked for months, I called the pomp's pooch spa and they gave me an appointment the following week. I was so nervous cause I'm so used to my dogs natural long fur that I was worried he'd look to different or that I wouldn't like it . But when I saw my dog on the window when I got there I was so excited cause he looked adorable. Omg thank you so much, you guys did a beautiful job on my diggy. read more

Minus one star because they text instead of calling when your dog is ready, it would be great if they do both. Minus another star because my dog still had build up eye boogers and still smell like dog when picking him up. For all that it's worth the groomer is very nice but I was hoping for my dog to smell amazing and no eye boogers. read more

I took my Boston Terrier cookie for a bath . The staff is beyond friendly and professional. The business is emasculate when it comes to cleanliness, it's smells beautiful in there . They have an aromatherapy diffuser going . They quoted approximately 45 minutes it took 35. When I picked her up she was happy and smelled wonderful. Her coat was shiny , her nails were trimmed and her ears were cleaned. I was very pleased with the service we received. We will be back . read more
