Puka's new look!
Simone A.

Such a gem of a business! My goldendoodle was in need of a hair cut urgently; we haven't cut his hair since he was a puppy and suffered from some matting. After posting on Nextdoor looking for a groomer in the area, the owner Apollo reached out and to our delight, his shop was very close to home. We dropped our pooch off and a couple of hours later, we had a brand new dog. Apollo took such great care of our dog, and what I appreciated about him was the passion he shows in his work. While waiting for Puka to finish up, you could hear Apollo talking to him, showing his level of exemplary care and compassion for our dog. He did exactly what we asked for with his cut, and offered an extremely reasonable price. I'm happy to say we found our new, permanent groomer. Thanks again to the Dogsmith!

My fur baby is a bit tough when he do not know someone, so I was afraid he wouldn't be seen, because the last place scratched or knicked him so he is afraid. But surprisingly he had an awesome groomer name Apollo, with patience and time he was able to take care of my maltipoo and I am glad they gave him a chance.

This is before his haircut

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE I WANT MY REFUND!!!! I took my mothers Dog at 10pm and he didn't come out till 5pm idk if they even feed them there, I called around 4:40pm to check on him cause they said they would call me back when it was time to pick him up and it was wayyy too many hours gone by, so when i called them up they proceeded to tell me that they had to give him a 2nd bath cause he was pooping blood but they wouldn't have never told me that unless i called to check in mind this they close at 5pm. Anyways so i was satisfied with the haircut but afterwards i took him home he just kept bleeding from his testicle area and it rubbed up to his anus and what it seems pooping blood , and he kept scooting his butt after his haircut and i had to wait for a veterinarian appointment till today and i thought it could've been an intestinal issue but when i got there they said it could be from a razor burn or small cut from the Groomers!!! i went in today and asked for a refund and brought a receipt of the medicine i had to get and the price of the initial check up then for the service which was $115 and for the Grooming service i payed $90 plus tip $100 thinking they had done a decent job. But now that i know its NOT an intestinal problem and it was caused by the Groomers and he wasn't bleeding or pooping blood before i took him in to this establishment. THEY DIDNT GIVE ME MY REFUND they want to talk to the veterinarian that did the service for my dog. Irresponsible and they take no accountability, his Employees kept butting in the conversations trying to give their opinion of what could've happened but no ,I know what happened to my dog and it wasn't just cause he was "scooting his butt" he was doing that cause of the cut / razor burn he got from this PLACE. if i could give negative stars i would

Young man there is so dedicated and does a great job, they clipped her nails, she is super clean, her fur was left so sleek, and love that he listened to each detail, and he was able to work w what I wanted. Will be here again.

I drive all the way from Stevenson Ranch to take my dog here. They do such a great job. My dog always smells so good for days too. Great service and have my dog ready for pickup on time. The staff is very friendly and professional. I always feel so welcomed and my dog is never scared when I take her to the shop. The pricing is also great. I love this place. They even put cute little bows on her, that's my favorite part.

Zoey after grooming
Amber N.

New to the area and found this place on yelp. Based off the 5 stars and great reviews, I made an appointment for my Zoey. During the initial call to make an appointment, I spoke with Apollo who was very professional and friendly. He offered me an appointment within week. Day before the scheduled appointment, I received a text message and a phone call to confirm. The day of, I showed up with my Zoey and we were greeted immediately. Zoey was ready for pick up after a couple hours. Again the staff was friendly, and even asked if I was pleased, which I was. They have definitely gained a new customer.

Do they take mean misbehaving dogs? My dog has past trauma and hates being groomed, she's very mean. She doesn't necessarily bite, but she is a very tough cookie. I can't take her anywhere. She's a small shih tzu. Do they mean dogs?

Yes we can definitely give it a try. It may take some extra time to care and work with them to make them feel comfortable, and as long as they don't get too stressed out we can usually finish the job. Thanks for letting us know the situation… Read more

Booking was easy, and the whole place has that friendly, local vibe where you can tell they actually care about the animals. The staff was super patient and took the time to understand what I wanted for my dog instead of rushing through everything. What stood out most was how calm my dog was after the appointment. Usually grooming stresses him out, but here he seemed comfortable the whole time. They clearly handle pets with a lot of care and attention. The grooming itself turned out great--clean, neat, and exactly what I asked for. I also like that they offer little extras, so it feels more like a full pampering experience rather than just a basic wash. Overall, a really positive experience.

Hands down the girls at this place from the owner to the groomers, 100000000000% amazing. I called and the owner immediately just listened to me and accommodated everything I needed. As soon as I got there the girls knew exactly about the situation. They all had amazing communication and booked me with the same groomer from last time. Which also she did an amazing job on too!!! Ugh I just can't stress how great this place and these girls are. Oh also the best part, I asked if they can save some of cocos hair so that I can as it as stuffing for a teddy bear or something and they not only saved it but also gave me a cute hand made Polaroid! I started tearing up. Thank you thank you thank you! You guys are seriously amazing!

I set up an evaluation for my dog for daycare and they told me to have all the vaccine records ready for when I arrive. I think the $18 they charge for that is a cash grab, but that's ok. I called ahead of time before I pulled up and asked what the procedure was for me to bring in my dog as he has some leash aggression and I wanted to avoid a full waiting room. The lady that was there didn't answer the question and instead said rather curtly I needed to provide all the records. I explained I was told to email them when I arrived so they could print them then and have them. She said fine and just told me to ring the doorbell. When I arrived, there was a dog in one of the front windows right beside the door that was going nuts, causing my dog to get very agitated. The lady did not address this dog that's freaking out and instead opened the door to let me in. There was yet another dog in a kennel in the lobby who started barking and again started riling up my dog. Again this lady did not seem to care about all this chaos and instead handed me a clipboard and told me in a snarky manner that the email address is written down and I need to fill out all the forms front and back. Since there was no place to go inside to fill these out where my dog would not be reactive, and I couldn't go back outside to the car because the other dog is going nuts in the window, I just said it wouldn't work out and left. My issue is if they care this little about 1) my dog's anxiety during this process and 2) the other dogs that are clearly stressed and freaking out, why would I trust them with my little guy? The bad attitude of the lady that was there was just the cherry on top. First impressions are important, and this place was very disappointing, and potentially dangerous for dogs that need some extra attention.
