My little guy is a 10.5# mini poo, 15, has anxiety & meds. First visit, scheduled at 8 on Sat for an express appt. He was the only one there, no noise, movement and Rosemary was great + kind. She also counseled me on the kind of brush he needs. I'll go back, price was reasonable. another groomer referred me due to concerns @ his age, & meds.

First time here, very cute, love the window and wall art!

My Daisy is a very anxious, fearful but docile dog. Melissa was great with her - she came out to meet us in their cute lobby - got to know Daisy a bit and then took her to do her nails, gland and a free toothbrushing which was very nice. Afterward Melissa gave me instructions on how to brush her teeth and was super sweet. I appreciate the TLC she gave Daisy!

Lucy has such a shiny soft coat when she comes home from ruff life and shedding has been lessened greatly .

Melissa is the absolute best ! My pug Lucy is always perfectly groomed and handled with care. You are always greeted with a kind friendly face when you walk through the door and the customer service is top tier. Ruff life is the best groomers in Coachella valley in my opinion and I will always recommend them.

I've taken my boy Magnus and they have done a wonderful job with him. They understand exactly how I want the haircut done with my doggy. This is a highly recommended place and a hidden gem for grooming in La Quinta

I have been bringing my baby Koda since Melissa opened Ruff Life. I can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review! Melissa and her staff are super professional, kind, understanding and so flexible. The salon is always clean and organized! I have a lot of friends who have little fur babies, and they have shared with me how much they pay for their little babies to get groomed and I will tell you that Melissa's prices are hands down the best! So if you're looking for someone who seeks to understand the importance of you dropping off your fur baby to be cared for, professionalism, kindness & affordability look no further!! read more

Melissa and her team are seriously the sweetest, we feel very comfortable taking our babies to her. Always done in a timely matter and pick them up like they came back from a fancy spa day. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a trustworthy and efficient groomer! read more

I took my two dogs a Boston & a Frenchie. By their breeds you would think they are easy to work with. NOT THESE GUYS! I can write an essay of what the standard viewing of their breeds vs Opie & Bronson (my pups) but we won't go there. I love them so it was heartbreaking when Groomers didn't want to work with them after they did their usual tag teaming. After checking most professionals off my list I took them to Melissa. She did such a swell job they didn't even take it out on me when I picked them up! They now greet her with joy & my heart doesn't twitch from distress. To most our pets are more than family so I had to write a review to the people that care deeply for my family. Thank you RLG! read more
