Before and after
Elva J.

Do not take your dog here for grooming - we had a shampoo blow dry two weeks before bringing our dog in for a cut - they botched it up so badly - he doesn't even look like the same dog - and who knows what it will look like when it grows out - worst of all the little guy has been so sad since his beautiful coat was shaved off. Beware!!

We had just got done over here at "the groomers". Let me start off by saying that the lady was very honorable and I wouldn't put anything past her services. She was very friendly with both of our dogs. The store was kept very very cleaned and you can watch what they do for a short minute. We loved how well they interacted with them and how they answered all our questions and concerns before and after. We've decided that we need to say bye bye Pawlished paws and hello to this place! Thank you so much for everything you al do!

My doggie needs to get dolled up at times too so when I finally managed to get the chance to get her groomed and lookin' cute, I decided to give this place a shot. The groomers here are very friendly and welcoming. The store is kept, so I felt at ease to leave her there. An hour in half later I was delighted to see my doggie. She looked so fresh and clean. And smelled like coconut. They took great care of her. Trimmed her nails and gave her a haircut I requested for. I think the minimum price for grooming is $45, but varies upon size. I think it is very much worth it though. They place is also a self-service spa too!

I brought my little family members here for the first time, and I absolutely loved the way she was taken care off. Her cut look very professionally done. I really do recommend this place to everyone.

Always impressed with their work and service ! They got Marley looking neat and clean! And my dogs always come home relaxed and not distressed when I pick them up. Even though prices increased recently, it's still reasonably price for all that they do and the way they treat your dog. I drive 20-30 minutes just to take my dog here.

Love, love, love Riverside Groomer.

Absolutely the best small business groomer. Rates reasonable. Staff friendly and professional. They walk you through the whole process step by step. Offer discounts and coupons, great goodie bag for fur baby. Just try once I bet you'll go back. A+!

Apollo the multipoo.. looking good

Great experience,very helpful with many options.My puppy couldn't be happier and looking so handsome. The walk-in option is great. I am definitely taking my other dog next week.

Wish she was looking up but concentrating on her treat
Marian C.

My nervous basset was absolutely happy when I brought her home. She doesn't like getting a bath or nails done so I have been avoiding taking her places. She has a bad experience previously. She walked out of there very happy though

RIVERSIDE GROOMING

Took our dogs here for the very first time today. They were bathed and just given a "tidy" (sanitary) groom. They looked terrific. Now-the disappointments: Saw coupon and "paid for" article in Riverside Magazine with $5 off coupon. Website lists hours but no prices. Prices are not listed in the store - just the services. The owner Don took the dogs in at 7:15 am - quoting me $42 for my maltipoo and $40 for the yorkiepoo for BATH AND TIDY GROOMING ONLY. How he came up with the price is beyond me...I filled out paperwork and showed current shot records for the dogs and handed him magazine ad with $5 coupon. No idea if it would only be off one dog or $5 off each dog. Told dogs would be ready between 11-12. Told not to come to location to pick up dogs until called. 2pm and no calls. I called and learned dogs were ready. Arlington Avenue and that area are construction zones right now due to 91 Freeway traffic. Getting the dogs there for their 7AM FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED....meant dealing with rush hour traffic. Returning to pick up the dogs the owner was gone and a young lady was cashier. I was asked for $82. I told her that I brought in a coupon - her reply was THAT IS THE PRICE WITH THE COUPON. Again, with charges not posted all I could do was pay and get over the $5 savings I thought I was going to get. The dogs were adorned with Halloween scarves. I can't imagine driving there and being told - we are full with a 7am FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED POLICY. Prices for services should be posted on their website and in their store. I wonder had I walked in wearing worn clothing would I have been quoted a lower price? Parking is scary. The store is around the corner and walking the dogs across a shopping center entrance is an accident waiting to happen...with cars whipping in to the TARGET shopping center - many unaware there might be dog owners with their dogs. PROCEED WITH CAUTION!

Riverside Grooming is AMAZING!! We have been taking my parents dogs here since they have opened! I now just got a standard poodle who is only 17 weeks. Today 11/1/17 was her 1st hair cut. She was groomed by Cristina. She looks amazing and they handled her very well! They said she was such an easy pup to groom! I am sooo happy I took my puppy Stella here and I would never take her anywhere else! Thank you!

The ladies who work here are awesome and very friendly. We bring our Pomeranian here and he comes out looking great every time.

Not long after a grooming!
Rich A.

We've been taking our dogs here for over 6 years and they are fantastic. My pups always come back looking beautiful and happy. We had a horrific incident with a different groomer years ago and vowed to only go to a place that has high standards. This place films it's grooming and has visible windows if you want to watch. Don't trust places that are behind walls or doors! They are a bit pricey but it's always been worth the cost. The gals and gents at this place are also generally friendly, though I've had one experience that was less so. In any case, your dogs and you will be more than satisfied!

Hair from one room after "desheading"
Kristie B.

Desheading process offered is a total scam! I took my lab/poodle mix Luke who is shedding to be trimmed. The owner explained that he does not recommend shaving dogs with two coats and could stop 90% of hair using their desheading process. I explained if his hair was still coming out with light petting I would not be happy. I was told he would be ready in 3 hours and they would call. An hour later they called and said he was ready. I initially believed the process had worked after petting his back and paid the $65. I continued to pet him and lots of hair was coming from his neck. I asked if they could brush him some more. The manager said that it would irritate his skin too much. At this point I was the one who was irritated! I asked to speak with owner and he agreed to brush him. The groomer came to the front and removed several hand fulls of hair from his neck. When I asked him to be shaved the manager told me it was a two stage process and gave me. a voucher for "free" desheading. When I returned in two weeks she told me that it would cost $50 to bathe him but the desheading was free. I then returned home disgusted. Absolutely the worst customer service I have ever experienced! I brushed my carpet with pet hair brush when I first took him and then again in 2 weeks. There was not any less hair after desheading process.

Feeling pugalicious after Riverside Groomers! , Thanks!

Ask the Community - Riverside Grooming

Do they allow walk ins or just by appointment?

They allow walk-ins early in the morning. They do not take appointments. If you plan to arrive more than 30 minutes after their opening time, call them first to check if they still have availability to accept your dog that day.

Is it pet drop off or wait?

Pet drop off. They can give you an estimated ready time but it can change depending on how full they get.

Manager and groomer both talked down and rudely in an argumentative fashion with me and kept my…read moretwo small dogs an entire 5 hours without warning me up front how long it would be and without allowing them to go potty. I was called and told one of my dogs ears was matted and they had to shave the entire ear to the skin. I told them, "no, I didn't want my dog's ears without any hair. The manager became extremely angry and argumentative. At one point I said leave the ears alone and I would do them. I received more arguing back at me. I also said then use the clippers to remove the matted part and do the best you can. I was called back rudely another time that I would have to sign a waiver about my dog's ears. I tried to pick my dogs up at the three hour mark and they had not even been trimmed properly yet and I was told if I picked up the dogs then, I would have to pay for the entire bill. I left my poor dogs there as I had an appointment. When I returned to pick them up the groomer was rude and over the top argumentative and said I was not allowed to bring my dogs back even after I apologized for any misunderstanding on my part. They continued to display such a shameful attitude and stance with me just because I declined to have the groomer use the clipper on the entire ear. What happened to kindness and the business motto "The customer is always right"? If they treat me like this is a "critical parent fashion", how do they treat my dogs??? There is no way to see how dogs are being treated around the corner as when they groom the dogs it is completely out of view. One of my dogs was literally shaking when we arrived home. The shaking lasted some time. As it was, they charged me $15 extra to comb out my dog's matted ear. Couldn't they have given me that option up front? It would have been so much more kinder and everyone could have left happy and content including my dogs!!! After arrived home for several days, my dogs cry when I pick them up from sore ribs. How horribly sad and indicates they were mishandled, too!

This was such a cool place, I have a short haired rat terrier that I usually groom at home but her…read morenails grow very fast and curl due to her breed and if I don't get ahead of it tje curling comes too close to her paw pads and I need to seek professional help. I saw they did services such as this and I was impressed. The lady in the front totally took initiative and grabbed my nervous foggy and trimmer her nails so fast as I distracted my dog. She then took her to express her glands and I was in and out in less than five minutes. Love it will be back!
