I've brought my dog to The Prancing Poodle twice now, and I'm consistently impressed. If you own an English Springer Spaniel, you know how quickly their coat can get out of control, but the team here does a phenomenal job cleaning him up. He looks like a brand-new dog every time! One of the things I appreciate most is their attention to detail. The staff is super friendly and they always make a point to ask exactly what kind of cut I want. The best part? They actually listen and deliver exactly what I'm looking for. A few other reasons I highly recommend them: Fair Pricing: Unlike some grooming spots that charge an arm and a leg, their rates are very reasonable and fair for the high quality of work they provide. Convenience: There is plenty of parking, so drop-off and pick-up are never a hassle. Schedule: I usually drop him off around 9 AM and pick him up around 3 PM. As long as you have the flexibility to leave your dog for a few hours, it's a perfect setup. The staff is wonderful and you can tell they truly care about the dogs. I'll definitely keep coming back! read more

Always amazing! Will you bring our three dogs here once a month and then I'm never disappointed. read more

I have been going there since like 2014...my husky runs right into his kennel. He honestly loves it! The staff is great and always has been. They remember Wolf by name, and they were happy to do teeth, nails and expressing if needed. They also trim my chiweenies nails. I don't recall their prices changing either in all these years. read more

I've been taking my pups to The Prancing Poodle for almost 5 years and I absolutely love them. They've always done an amazing job on all of my services. I've never had a single complaint. When my older dog, Lady passed away everyone was so kind; they really loved her and were sad too. I bring my two puppies in now, Gimli and Arlo. Gimli goes in every 2 weeks and alternates between a basic bath and a full haircut while Arlo is just a basic bath like Lady was. Gimli comes in looking like muppet and leaves looking like a dapper little man. Rylee does an incredible job with his mop each time. The staff love my pups, they love their jobs and it shows. Everyone should bring their fur babies here. read more

Really bad haircut. Uneven everywhere if that's possible. I was looking for a new place to groom my dog, this is not it. read more

We had our 2 pooches groomed here for the first time today. Riley groomed both dogs. To say she hit a home run is an understatement! Both of our dogs look the best that they have ever looked, fresh from a grooming. Our Riley (Cockapoo) now has the most beautiful face! Please give the Prancing Poodle a try. We are going to be loyal repeat customers! Thank you.... read more

I've been taking my golden doodle to Prancing poodle for about a year, with great results. They allow him to take rest breaks between steps in the process, making him calmer and happier. Johnnie always gives him an excellent cut, and if there is anything that she notices new or odd, always tells me. I appreciate that above and beyond just getting him all cleaned up they're concerned about his welfare. read more

I love The Prancing Poodle! They are great with customer service, patient when trimming the nail of my nervous dog, and the atmosphere is cheery and professional. I have been a customer for over 6 years and highly recommend them! read more

This is a terrific company. My formerly abused dog is very comfortable with the groomers. The grooming he receives is top notch!!!

My favorite groomer retired, and I have tried 3 different groomers since including myself! Lol! After searching yelp and looking at many different reviews, I decided to go with the Prancing Poodle since I have a maltipoo, miniature schnauzer, and a Maltese. I want to thank Riley for listening to me and delivering my girls exactly as I expected. She did an outstanding job! They have excellent customer service and give you a call 30 minutes before pick up time. We will be back! read more

I love this place. I bring my standard Poodle in for a full wash and cut. They are so patient and loving. I am not one to get any fancy cut with my poodle, as we do a lot of camping and outdoor activities, but I know the groomers are well-skilled. I bring my other little mutt in for nail clipping, and sometimes a grooming (he doesn't need it as often as my poodle). Overall, I love this place and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice place to bring their dog. It is pricey, but I think if you purchased a dog that needs grooming, you should have expected that! They are worth every penny! :) read more

This was the first time here. Everyone was very professional and friendly! They were fast and did an amazing job... actually this is the first time I have been completely happy with my labradoodles hair cut! Although this was a 40 min drive one way, I will definitely continue to her appt there. I will definitely recommend The Prancing Poodle to all my friends! read more

Our older dog and younger little dog began going to prancing poodle last August or so. My older dog wasn't easy: blind and dementia and they were fine with him coming and he seemed well taken care of. Younger pup was used to being with my older dog. They placed them together in a kennel while waiting to be groomed. They listen to what you want. Won't shave your dog down if matted. If it takes extra time they might charge you which I would expect. Very organized with texts and such to remind you of your appointments. Takes about 4 hrs from drop off time. read more

Friendly, and they do beautiful work! My dog loves going there and always looks so handsome when he's finished! read more

They do such a fantastic job with my husky and they are all very sweet there. I was worried goose would be a menace to the poor groomers like he is with me in the bath tub, but every time my husband or I pick him up they let us know how good he was. 10/10 will be bringing goose here always. read more

My regular groomer that I love and has groomed my furbabies for over 10 years decided to have a baby. I needed to find a new groomer so I walked in Prancing Poodle since I was getting coffee next door and practically interviewed them. lol They didn't mind all my questions concerns and anxiety about leaving my dogs with people I don't know. I mainly dealt with the only guy that I noticed was there and he was very nice and patient. A young lady helped me today when I dropped my babies off and she was also kind and patient. The holding crates look safe and the place looks and smells clean from what I could tell (I've seen some way uncool crate stacking at a different groomer too). I didn't really know how to explain the cuts I wanted on my dogs, so I showed them a pic of how I usually get them groomed and they did it how I wanted. I plan on continuing to go here. read more

The Prancing Poodle - Post Prancing Poodle grooming. - Pet Groomers Near Me - Orangevale, California

I've been coming to Prancing Poodle for a few years now and they always do a good job with taking care of my furry baby, but recently I have come to find out that if you don't schedule an appointment with them within 3 months, they will charge you an extra $25 for their services. According to their policy, which was not documented nor signed, there was no leniency and I just gave in as a loyal repeat customer. Really though? $25 for not coming back within their 3 month time frame?!? So, does that mean if I don't come back for a year they'll charge me an extra $100? A membership to Costco is only $60/year. If I would have known this, I would have dressed up and put on some makeup because I want to look nice when I get bent over. Also, if you decide to cancel an appointment more than 3 times, that's another $25 penalty. Sorry Prancing Poodle, but I'll be prancing my butt to John's Grooming or Petsmart. It's only hair, it'll grow back. Sadly, like my hair, I won't be coming back. read more

The Prancing Poodle - Aw, they don't want to play with me anymore. - Pet Groomers Near Me - Orangevale, California

Daisy loves going there. She always gets a cute bandana and a treat! Everyone there is friendly and seem to enjoy their jobs.

First I want to thank the staff at The Prancing Poodle for how wonderful they treated me and my dog. I originally called to schedule for a touch up service but they were booked for a while. The lady said she would call me when there is a cancellation. I still booked an appointment a few weeks out for a cut and then got a call that very evening for a cancellation the next morning!! I took my dog Max in and like most doodles, he is very shy and nervous. The stylist took the time to ask me what I wanted and if I had any concerns about Max. When I got his photo, it was EXACTLY what I wanted and talked about. I love their online/text system where I received a photo of Max, the service done, notes about his time there and a receipt. My parents say it's Max's best haircut yet! He is so cute and handsome!! I can't wait to book my next appointment with them. Thank you thank you thank you!!! read more

The first time they poorly cut my collie's coat. It looks like they specialize in the doodle variety based off their social media and are not well trained in scissor cuts. I brought up the poor cut before the second groom and just asked for certain areas to be cleaned up a better this time which was not well received and after The Second time I visited here they Left either a chemical burn or razor burn on his hind quarter that required a vet visit including steroids and antibiotics. Also just got an email that they will be charging extra fee to anyone that doesn't regularly groom their dog at their facility. I will not go here again and I do not recommend this parlor to anyone. read more

This place is an absolute disgrace to dog grooming I dropped my dog off for a 9:30am appointment and still didn't hear anything till 1pm so I gave them a call to see what was going on. Come to find out they were just starting on my dog after 3 and 1/2 hours of being in a damn cage. That is very ridiculous and unfair for my dog I could have brought him in much later. I would give this place 0 stars if I could. Definitely will never recommend or ever come to this place again read more

Love, love, love this place! From the receptionist to the other stylists - everyone is super friendly. They are so good with my crazy Doodles, do a great job grooming, and on top of it all, they're reasonably priced! Rylee is our groomer, and she's so patient and kind with my goofy dogs - she's the best. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

I am new to the area and a new pet parent . I have been coming to this place for a few months now, usually I never provide feedback or inspiration for my pups cut. The last cut I gave a picture of her previous cut and asked if the groomer can do the same "bell bottom "'cut, without hesitation she said of course. Upon picking up my dog she looked nothing like the picture, the cut was terrible. Instead of complaining I left and didn't address the issue. Well I made an appointment for a bath weeks later and mentioned I didn't want the same groomer to cut my dog due to my dissatisfaction with the previous cut. After booking an appointment I received a very odd text saying since I was dissatisfied with the prior groomer it's best to find a new groomer ! Are you kidding me? How unprofessional. So because I'm not happy with a cut and asked an alternate person to do the cut my pup can't come jack? I called asking For clarification and was given excuses saying no other grommet is willing to take my dog and listed challenges that were never even brought to me in the past. If you have challenge with a dog wouldn't it be best to address it with the pup parent upon pick up? Why wait months later until I complain about a service discreetly ( as I didn't want to hurt the groomers feelings b/c she worked hard on it I'm sure) to tell me problems they have had. I was also given an excuse that I was upset when they kept my dog locked up for 6 hours and didn't even start her bath . Any pet parent would be upset their fur baby was locked up in a cage for 6 hours and she didn't need to be. Customers should be informed when you are running behind schedule in advance so that they can plan accordingly but if you say 4-5 hours for service that is what we plan for not 8-10. To not even start services for that extended period and lock a dog up is cruel in my opinion with no food or water. The groomer who was on the heavier side said she was moving slow because she was pregnant however I had no clue she was pregnant as it wasn't noticeable. I immediately empathize with her reasoning for moving slow due to her pregnancy. I just think overall the practices at this place is cruel, bias and simply outrageous. As another reviewer said the fees are outrageous, the turn around time is not good and the customer services sucks !!! I will be indeed prancing my poodle to another groomer who prides themselves on morals, customer service and better ethics !!! I'm thankful For my social media platform because this story will be on my sites as well. read more

they always do a good job and do exactly as I ask , although a randomn toe nail often gets missed ... oops . but my dogs are never stressed and they look beautiful! i have cavaliers and there are some things you just don't do to cavaliers without asking . they ask and I believe the couple of groomers I use know cavaliers . ear trim no unless asked and how much length ., never cut the wick , never cut their truck feet unless asked and be specific . they def need peri trimming , especially boys and inner east trimmed . they don't do anal glands well either , so i've been using my vet but we like this place and are loyal customers . read more

I have this weird thing where if I see a dog, and it's really cute; I will start to cry. When I picked up my dog from the prancing poodle, I started to cry because he was so cute. Every time he walks into my room, I get excited because he is so cute. Not to mention his fur is a little difficult cut. Ever since I moved out to Citrus Heights, I have been having trouble finding dog groomers. I had been to 3 before prancing poodle. I know they took good care of him. You can trust them with your dog. I also like the fact that they will give the pups the cut they need and still make them look cute. Prancing Poodle is great! read more

They took really good care of my 9 year German Shepherd Bandit who has a bad knee and new hips.

We went to them a bunch with our poodle. But it was sorta far after school started and we had to try other places closer to home. We were never satisfied, the old saying that drives us crazy, has never been more true with groomers, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR, they may be on the higher end of pricing. But worth every cent, guaranteed. But they are right in the middle of pricing with standard poodles. Hands down the best out there! read more
