    After at pick up

    I'm very dissatisfied with today's grooming service. My dog was buzzed incorrectly, leaving an uneven and patchy cut that was not what I asked for. This is unacceptable for a paid professional service, and was seeking a resolution instead got a call from the manager/owner stating that I was at fault for not being clear and how I confirmed that I wanted the same service as the last, when the last visits had been baths and slight blows and trims around for teddy look! Her pointing everything at me got me frustrated and I did raise my tone and she hanged up twice! She stated that if I was looking for a refund she was not going to give it to me since service was rendered and cursed at me when I never used any bad words towards her I just wanted to be heard and understood and avoid happening again and a resolution as "hey listen we take full responsibility of the misunderstanding let me have you back for a free bath on us solves the problem! A client should be acknowledged and heard! I have referred people to her unaware there was a rewards program she throws it in my face that I have probably been getting rewarded which is not the case and never have expected to be rewarded! Never in my life have I talked to someone with a business with such poor customer service!!!

    The Pets Choice is a locally owned business. The owner, Wendee, has been grooming my dog most of his 12 years of life. He's a very shy and sensitive boi but Wendee has always been wonderful with him and has always done such a great job. When I adopted another dog, she was equally amazing with her as well. The place is small and they do get busy so make sure to book ahead.

    Great place for an affordable, reliable haircut for my little old Bichon. I've been very happy with his haircut every time!

    Like a new pup!

    If I could I would give Wendee 10 stars! I was dog sitting for a friend and he is an outdoor dog and he was so dirty and smelly he honestly looked miserable. So I took him to get the works from Wendee. And when i tell you it was like a new dog! He was a new clean happy pup! Wendee was so sweet and knowledgeable she helped me so much with him! I recommend everyone i know to her! 10 GOLD GLITTER STARS!!!

    Louie has been coming to Wendee and her team for a few years now- and he absolutely loves it! His body language shows me that they always give him the best treatment and love. Wendee is very particular about her work and has Louie looking like a boss. He gets compliments all the time, everywhere we go. I would highly recommend The Pet's Choice! Thanks, Wendee!

    I live in Long Beach. I drive all the way to the Pet's Choice to have mine and my mothers dog groomed. If you wonder why, it'll take just one visit to know why. All the staff are friendly and accommodating. Wendie is an expert at what she does. To entrust my dogs with her, speaks volumes! Do yourself and your puppy a favor. I would not take my dogs ANYWHERE else!!!

    My really aggressive pure bred Persian. His name is Rocky

    Everything went amazing at pets choice let me briefly explain my last choices or visits with Rocky. When he was 2 yrs old We tried to give him his first Lion cut. We told the groomer at Petco he's aggressive and please be careful ( but they're experts right?) she t started rubbing his belly which we warned her prior not to do. I dont know any cats that actually like that and he went nuts on her. While she was doing it I said I wouldn't do that ... she ended up getting scratched up and bit and black listed Rocky from every Petco. The vet we normally go to wanted to put him to sleep to give him a haircut and we were not comfortable with that idea. Another groomer recommended some pills prior to bringing him in , we considered it but again wasn't comfortable but they also wanted $600 like "what the heck " so me and wife have rocky baths and cut what we could for last 5 years but he needed a proper grooming. I saw Nikki at a target nearby she had a Chinchilla with her and I loved it and she told me how she worked at grooming place. She recommend Wendy at pets choice my wife called Wendy and told her what we told everyone else he's aggressive, been black listed from places and isn't really friendly. But he's our baby. They assured us they deal with these manners all the time and told us to bring him in. Me and wife were so nervous for their staff. He's great at home completely an angry lion outside of home. Dropped him off at pets choice at 8:30 this morning. Picked him up at 1:30. He's incredibly happy , looks beautiful and I can't believe that they were able to give my babe a lions cut without putting him to sleep , medicating him or hurting him. We absolutely so happy that we found out about Pets Choice my entire family was impressed because they know rocky is impossible to deal with and they did it. And they did it incredibly. So happy and not even close to the costs of what other groomers wanted. Recommend this location to everyone if you ever were looking or interested. I assure you , you will come out as happy as I am right now. Thanks for everything Wendy and Nikki and your entire staff.

    The staff was very caring. It was my first time and they walked me through everything, as well as happily/thoroughly answered all my questions. I'll let the before/after speak for the job well done!

    This was my first time going to The pets choice. It was recommended by a friend. After my dog had a bad haircut at another place I was desperate to find a good one. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and felt the happy energy. Wendee and staff were all so friendly and welcomed my dog Lucy and let her wander the place so she can get comfortable. As you can see from the before and after pictures they did amazing. Thank you again.

    Freshly groomed

    See all

    As a first time dog owner, I met WenDee and her team after enduring a series of bad to just okay groomers.

    Where do I begin? The moment we walked in we were warmly greeted by Kyla (who happened to be who we…read morewere scheduled with). My ElliGirl took an instant liking to her. We chatted briefly and I let Kyla know I wanted every service available for my baby. She did not try to upsell services, even though I would've gladly agreed. EL & Kyla went to the grooming area and I set myself up in the waiting area to watch a movie on my IPad. Did I mention they have free guest Wi-Fi? I was also offered beverages several times and checked on to make sure I was well and comfy. The entire staff was friendly & so we're most of the clients. One client even sat and chatted with me while he enjoyed a nice flute of champs. I snuck peaks at my baby girl who looked pleasantly relaxed each time I played spy. It looked like a total spa day for her. When I knew she was almost done I went to the nearby market. I was completely unmissed because when I came back my little girl was still happily vibing with her new friend. I saw people use the self service wash which looked amazingly stocked. I usually self wash my baby somewhere else, but decided she was at a point where we would both benefit from a real groomer. So glad we did. When all was said and done Elli looked amazing! Her double coat was fully blown out! Shiny shiny shiny! Her nails were beautifully trimmed. She came out happy, bandanad, bowed and bedazzled! Total love this for her. Do yourselves and fur babies a favor and bring them here.

    After recently moving to the area, I needed to find a new groomer for my dog, and as the owner of a…read moresenior pup, I was definitely a little nervous. My dog is 15 years old and still has plenty of spirit, but his hearing and vision aren't what they used to be. I always worry about him feeling scared or overwhelmed when I leave him somewhere new. From the moment I picked him up, I could tell he was in great hands. He looked absolutely adorable--clean, perfectly groomed, and somehow even cuter than usual. But what really stood out to me was the extra care the staff took with him because of his age. When I arrived, they explained that they took their time with him and used a special crate dryer instead of rushing the process, specifically to keep him comfortable and safe. As a pet parent, that level of thoughtfulness means everything. It's clear they understand that senior dogs have different needs and are willing to go the extra mile to accommodate them. Finding a groomer you trust can be stressful, especially when your dog is older, but I left feeling so grateful that I found this place. The kindness and attention they showed my little guy did not go unnoticed. We'll definitely be back.

His face and body turned out great but his butt and tail, which were areas I specifically asked to focus on, were not. His butt was uneven (left cheek was shaved down, looked neat while right cheek still had a huge chunk of hair) and his tail looked untouched. I didn't realize how bad it was until we got home. I texted the salon back immediately and sent pictures. They offered to fix it if I brought him back but we didn't have time for that. After multiple back and forth with the manager, Paulina, the only resolution they continued to offer was 10% off of a future visit. After this experience, there won't be a future visit so that's not much of a resolution. It was a very disappointing experience and I would not recommend.

I got belly rubs on demand, endless attention, playtime with new friends, and enough treats to make me question whether I should permanently relocate. Every time I walked in, the humans here knew my name and acted excited to see me -- which, as you can imagine, is exactly the level of celebrity treatment I deserve. The place was super clean, safe, and smelled surprisingly good for a building full of dogs making questionable life choices. My parents also loved getting updates and photos of me living my best life while they were away pretending to miss me. (Jasmine, Christina, Ericy, Iliana takes the best selfies of me!) By the time I got home, I was completely exhausted from all the fun, zoomies, and pampering from the staff. 10 out of 10 I would definitely board again and cannot wait until my next visit!

    I've now attempted to tour this facility twice during the hours listed on your website…read more The first time, I was turned away because it was a "holiday week." However, it was a Saturday, and the actual holiday was not until Monday. Wanting to avoid another wasted trip, I called this morning to confirm that tours were being conducted and nothing was needed like an appointment. The person I spoke with confirmed that tours were available between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., which matches the information posted on your website. When I arrived, I was informed that I could not go on a tour because the manager was not there and had to take a dog to the veterinarian. Apparently, no other staff member was able to conduct a tour. However, nowhere on the website does it state that tours are dependent on a specific individual being present or that only the manager is authorized to conduct them. Had that information been disclosed, I could have avoided making a second unnecessary trip. When I explained to the front desk employee that I had specifically called this morning to confirm tours before making the drive, she suggested that I may have spoken with a call center because she had been the only person answering phones all morning. I clarified that I had been transferred directly to the South Bay/Carson location and confirmed that this was the location I called. She repeated that she had been the only person answering phones. I then asked what I could do differently next time, since this was now the second time I had been turned away despite following the information provided. Her advice was to call ahead and specifically ask for the South Bay location--which is exactly what I had already done. When I asked if there was a direct phone number for the location so I could avoid this issue in the future, I was told there wasn't one. At this point, I will not be returning. Being turned away twice despite making a good-faith effort to verify tour availability reflects a lack of organization, communication, and courtesy toward prospective clients. If a facility cannot provide consistent information to prospective customers, it raises concerns about reliability and the overall experience I could expect if I entrusted my dog to their care.
