Fresh cut
Brenda L.

I highly recommend this groomer. Our boy, Beasley, is very anxious and doesn't like most people. He didn't bark at Tatsuma once. He walked right up to him with no problem. He was only there about 3 hours for full cut and bath. He looks great! His head is a tad shorter than I wanted but as someone who has given Beasley a haircut, I'm sure he wasn't being the most cooperative. I like that there aren't a bunch of dogs running around. He seems to be the only groomer and doesn't book multiple clients at the same time. I will definitely bring him back here for his regularly.

AFTER! Best haircuts!!

Best dog groomer in San Diego! I've had my poodle for 7 years now and I never knew my dog could get a perfect cut. She looks like a show dog every time she gets groomed. How did I go so long not knowing of this location. I found it by mistake. Started a convo with a dog owner about her poodle. She suggested I'd take my dog to T-Dogs. It's a bit of a drive for me, but so worth it!!! The owner is nice and every Xmas my poodle gets a nice gift. What a nice touch! Come here if you want the best cut in San Diego!!

06/25/2020- I swear this man is one of the best dog groomers of all of San Diego. My mother's Yorkshire Terrier mix, Stella, LOVES this groomer. She always wants to stay chilling on the bed he provides his furry-clients. He did an awesome job grooming her long adult coat, and I can't wait to bring her back again when she needs a haircut for another vacation trip.

Not much to say, other than t-dog's is hands down the best dog groomer in the San Diego area! He's great with our dog and he always comes back expertly groomed.

Lola is very happy with her haircut.

I've taken my dogs to grooming places in big box stores, small shops and mobile grooming at home. I am just happy to have found T-Dogs grooming salon because it is hands down the best cut I've seen on my dog. My Schnoodle's name is Lola and the last groomer I used really butchered her hair and the price was quite exorbitant. T-Dogs's price was fantastic and the cut was just as great. I will definitely be bringing all my dogs back here for future grooming Update: 5/30/19. I brought my other two dogs here for grooming and I don't think I have ever seen them so clean and even. My Pomeranian Gizmo was perfectly even and can pass for a 3 year old puppy even though he is 14. Quincy usually looks scraggly after his grooming sessions but he was perfectly rounded and trimmed evenly. Another fantastic job!

After searching for a new groomer, we decided to give T-DOGS Grooming a try. It lies in the heart of La Mesa--right across from Shirley's Kitchen. Tatsuma, the owner, was very polite and attentive to our grooming instructions. It was reasonably priced at $60 for bath, trim, anal expression, and nail trim + file (as well as an option for a bandana or bows!). You can genuinely see he takes great care in his work and the results are telling of that! Needless to say, we are pretty satisfied and plan on coming back.

Clean and nice paws!!

I think I just found my new fave groomers for Yuki! It was my first time at T-Dogs and the owner/groomer was very professional. I likd that he was very thorough about what he was going to do and if we had any special requests that he was willing to accommodate! He does things very detailed and organized :) Yuki was pretty matted but he said he would do his best to keep and save as much of her coat as he can! I love that he also does the teddy bear cut for the face as well. No injuries or cuts at all, and he had the option for us to pick if we wanted bows or a bandana for her. Definitely recommend for first-timers like myself. We will definitely be coming back!

This is literally the best dog grooming place in SD. I've taken my mini schnauzer to multiple places, and for some reason many places lack consistency. At T-Dogs, he creates a profile for your dog, so you don't have to tell him what cut you want every single time. Plus, he always does exactly what you ask for. He's great at what he does!!

The owner of this place is extremely friendly and accommodating! My dog usually does not trust anyone cutting her nails, but now she gets excited to see the owner. The prices are very reasonable and the service is amazing. I would 100% recommend this place to everyone!

Tatsuma was patient and took great care of him. It was his first grooming and he looks like a brand new puppy. Thank you so much!

I LOOOOVE how Tatsuma cuts my puppy's hair!!! When I picked my puppy up I fell in love with him all over again! lol. Tatsuma (the groomer) is very kind, professional and I'm amazed by how skilled he is. My puppy's fur just looks and feels so different after being groomed, it's amazing. My dog will continue to come here and I will make this his permanent place for grooming!

I found recommendations on Nextdoor for T-Dogs Grooming and so glad I did. We've taken 3 of our 4 so far and 4th is going tomorrow. Our babies never looked so good. Even though one of them was pretty matted Tatsuma was able to get them cut out without her cut looking all choppy. All their cuts were perfect. Will definitely be our new go to place.

1 year later, and Sir Duke and I still love coming here! I can't trust anybody else with Sir Duke's grooming needs.

Thanks Mr Tatsuma!

Whats the best way took book an appointment?

Are the dogs that come here mostly small breeds? I have a Pekingnese and I would like him to play and get along with the other dogs as well as the employees.

I have 4 dogs that I take there that range from 6 - 26 lbs. I've haven't seen any big dogs yet. There is only one employee and he is very gentle and soft spoken to my pups.

Tatsuma is beyond amazing and my dog was able to get an experience unlike any other groomers we have been to.

They had great availability and were able to get us in within the same week! The team was very nice and able to share in detail all the services available. Pricing is great in comparison to other groomers in the area since Doggie Do's also provides full day daycare with any of the packages! We cannot wait to come back!

The staff was nice and welcoming, and the lobby was clean and well kept. I brought my dog in for a nail trim, which they handled quickly and professionally. The only hiccup was with the walk-in policy. Online, nail trims are listed as a walk-in service, so I stopped by assuming it would be straightforward. When I arrived, they explained that walk-ins are only allowed during certain hours on certain days. To their credit, they made an exception since they weren't busy at that moment, which I appreciated. That said, it was a little frustrating because that information isn't listed on Yelp or their website -- it's only posted on a sign inside the shop. I'd still come back because the service itself was good, the staff was kind, and the prices are fair. I'd just recommend calling ahead to confirm hours if you're planning to use a walk-in service. Suggestion for the owners: it would really help customers if the website and Yelp page clearly listed the walk-in hours so people know what to expect before they arrive. TL;DR: Affordable, clean, and friendly dog grooming spot with convenient parking. Just call ahead if you're planning to walk in for services like nail trims, since the walk-in hours aren't currently listed online.

"While looking for a dog groomer for my elderly neighbor's dog, I was turned down a few times…read morebecause they required appointments, and I didn't have time to schedule one this week. The dog really needed grooming. Finally, I came across this business on Google and saw their great reviews. I called and spoke with Monica, explained the situation, and she was able to get me in within two hours. I am so grateful for her. From the moment we spoke, she was kind, caring, and incredibly helpful. When I arrived, she examined the dog's coat and clearly explained the process and services included. The prices were great--especially considering all the services included with the full grooming (bath, haircut, nail trimming, and more). I was honestly surprised at how reasonable the price was. On top of that, due to the circumstances, they even gave me a discount to help my elderly neighbor. That truly says a lot about their character and their business. They are so sweet and caring with the dogs. I highly recommend them to anyone--you won't regret it!"

I have to give Star Dogs their flowers. We have been taking our Shiba Inu in for the past 2 years…read moreand he ABSOLUTELY LOVES COMING IN! We were really skeptical on finding a groomer when we first adopted our shiba Kaytra. We got recommended by our friend to come here and never tried anywhere else ever since. Rika and her family always do a an amazing job at making Kaytra feel loved, comfortable and feeling fresh! We've never had any problems with telling them any specific needs he may have needed during a session. Kaytra literally RUNS into their shop! We can't even get him close to the bathroom without being suspicious! What the Star dogs team has going on has is something special and anyone we have recommended to since has the same experience. Expect a 2-3hr time frame once you have dropped off your pup, which does help plan out the day, they give you a call when he is ready and is never pushy/try to rush you to come pick them up. Love working with Star Dogs.

I made a simple request, and he yelled at me, saying, 'If you don't like it here, you can go somewhere else.' I was shocked. The woman who has always groomed my dog is polite, skilled, and has given my adorable Yorkie the perfect teddy bear cut every time. This time, her son clearly did the grooming instead. He left a noticeable mustache on her face (which has never happened before) and was smirking at me when I picked her up. The regular groomer could tell the cut was poorly done, but she did nothing to fix it. Despite the disappointing result, I still left a tip, as I always do. It's really sad to see this business showing such poor judgment in hiring. I'm taking his advice and will be taking my dog somewhere else from now on.
