My dogs and I had a great experience with Bobby's pet grooming! My border collie mix and Aussie are…read morereally easy going when I bathe them, but can be a bit anxious and weary of strangers - my collie mix especially. So hearing that they were able to bring him out of his shell and get past his shyness was nice to hear. They even played some fetch with him while I was on my way to pick him up! I was able to meet and talk for a bit with the owner. Really nice guy and the groomer was very sweet and upbeat!

I do not usually leave reviews, but I feel I have to share this for other dog owners…read more I brought my two year old French Bulldog here. She is one of the friendliest, sweetest dogs you could ever meet and has been to other groomers without ever having a bad experience. She usually enjoys going. This time was completely different. When I came back and asked how she was doing, I was told, "I don't know, I didn't touch her." That immediately concerned me. I could not even see my dog at first, and when I asked again, I was told she had been isolated because she was barking. When I finally saw her, she was in a small cage, shaking and clearly terrified. This is not normal behavior for her. As a dog owner, you know your dog, and something was clearly wrong. I calmly expressed that I did not appreciate how she was being handled and that something did not feel right. Later, instead of addressing my concerns, I received a message from the owner accusing me of being rude and telling me not to come back. I was not rude. I was concerned about my dog. I have taken her to multiple groomers, and she has never reacted like this. That alone tells me everything I need to know. I will never bring my dog back here and would not recommend this place to anyone who cares about their pet's well being.

I was greeted by a nice handsome gentleman Rico. He gave me a couple of samples. He told me about the different foods they had, show me which one to give me girls. He was so genuine and thoughtful.

I've been coming to Dirty Dogs in Carmel Mountain for a while to use the self-wash station. In the…read morepast, whenever I asked for a tub to be cleaned, staff usually sanitized it. But, today was different. Both tubs had visible dog hair all over the mats, inside the tubs, and even in the drains. Which clearly hadn't been properly cleaned. When I politely asked if the tubs were sanitized, I was told they were sprayed down. But when I asked for gloves to clean it myself, the staff member came over with a dismissive attitude. removed the drain piece, set it aside, and walked away without actually cleaning it. Cleanliness should be a basic expectation, right? Especially, at a self-wash facility. I was disappointed not just by the filth, but also by the way I was treated for asking. I ended up leaving without washing my dog, after driving all the way from Escondido and coordinating with my husband to meet me there. It was a waste of time and a really disappointing experience.

In the past, other groomers would call me mid-appointment to say they couldn't finish the haircut because he bites, though they'd usually manage to bathe him. I don't know how Monica does it, but she handles him with incredible skill and care. He always comes out looking great--clean, shaved down from his belly to his booty, with neatly trimmed nails and a clean overall cut. We're so grateful she's able to do something we simply can't manage at home (we can bathe him but he bites us when we give him a haircut too). Monica is a true pro, and we highly recommend her. She usually fits us in within the same week and is super consistent--Panch is always in and out in about 1 to 1.5 hours. A total lifesaver!

Hands down horrible grooming experience. I had called earlier requesting someone who knows how to…read moredo poodle hair and was assured everyone knew how and they get doodles daily so they are well educated on poodle/doodle cuts. The lady who checked me in was super condescending and was not friendly at all. I didn't know my dogs didn't have the bordetella vaccine and she was so rude and talking down to me to "educate me" of the risk. I told her I'll go ahead with it as my dog doesn't go to dog parks and she further said "well he's exposed to dogs cause here we have all kinds of dogs" ... Probably should've just left but I wanted my dogs hair groomed. I showed her a picture of what haircut he has had. I wanted one of my dog's haircut in the past and this is what they gave me. They told me they could touch it up within 3 days for free and I asked what they could do and was told it's better I just grow it out. Disappointed that they didn't offer me a solution to how they could fix it and yet they are the "expert" and still charged me full price ... now my dog has a botched haircut. Definitely DO NOT go to them if you have a doodle/poodle. This is poor service and quality. Pictures say it all, you be the judge. Not sure how someone could miss the inspiration unless they were amateurs.
