PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. I will start by saying that this was my second visit to Thrifty Grooming to have my two Pomeranians bathed and cut. The first time was good and I was happy with their haircuts. Today was a completely different story; I dropped them off at 11 am for their appointment and spoke to Stephanie. I asked that they both be cut to 1/2 inch. I had not heard from her by 3:45 pm so I called and she said one dog was done but it would be another 45 minutes for the other because "her help" had not shown up until 1pm. They were not ready until 4:45 pm and when I picked them up, I was beyond shocked at the terrible grooming. I was upset and asked why they were cut so short. Stephanie told me both dogs were matted, so she decided to do a "summer cut." My dogs were not so matted that it required this severe haircut because they get groomed regularly. Even if it did, she should have reached out to me. She even shaved their tails down to nothing, and when I asked why, she didn't respond. I am beyond disappointed in this place and am disgusted that they charge $75 per dog, cash only for this ugly, lazy, hack job grooming they do. The worst part is that my dogs seem like they are in pain, I believe they were rough on them during their haircuts and they also have razor burn on their bellies and necks. The photos below show the terrible job she did today on my poor dogs and one photo of what they used to look like after being grooming by Paw Perfection, which sadly closed.

My pup looks like a brand new pup! Stephanie did amazing with him. This was his first official "groom" and he was nervous on the drive and as I left him but when I came back to pick him up he was chillin! Not bothered about anything. I was also running late to pick him up (2 accidents on our wonderful 60) and she was so patient and understanding even though she was closed Glad I took a chance here! I will definitely be bringing this stinky boy back for all his spa days For his bath, cut, nails, breath and other goods.. I think a facial? lol.. he came out to $65.

I have a beautiful 115 lbs German Shepherd (true service ‍ K9) and I can not give Thrifty Groomer 's a better recommendation than to tell you they took wonderful care of my Shelby and she came home from her (spa day...lol) absolutely gorgeous and so soft. I can honestly say you will not find a better groomer . Thank you again Stephanie and Staff. You All Rock.

I must leave a review. I live around the corner and I stopped by without an appointment and asked if they could do my Great Danes nails and I also asked for a muzzle because my Boy tries to be a tough guy. They didn't have muzzles And I said I would go somewhere else to be safe and this lady went out of her way to stop what she was doing come outside and sit on the floor and cut my dogs nails and she was extremely sweet and nice to my baby boy. He got his nails done perfectly. I am very grateful thank you so much for your time

Couldn't more happier with our pup's end result! Stephanie really did a great job and did exactly what was requested. The prices are reasonable and the place is clean. We will be definitely be returning and will be recommending her! Thank you again!

My husband took our dog to get groomed last week and to say they did a horrible job is an understatement. I've never seen a dog groomed the way our dog was groomed. They chopped her hair so ugly and beyond uneven. It was our first and last time there.

Melinda G.

Loved the service and the outcome! Stephanie is super friendly and so patient, the service was pretty fast much faster then PetSMart & the hair cut was also much better plus my baby got cute little bows in her hair, smelled great, shedding less & looks brighter white! Thanks for the most awesome service (definitely my new spot). See you in a few weeks for Eloise's next visit! Paid more money at PetSmart for my small little dog & I was NOT impressed. So to the person leaving a shitty review based on fees you'll find out when you get to PetSmart $10 more is worth it!

We have been taking our Cocker Spaniel Sofie here for at least 3 years and we love Thrifty Dog Grooming! Stephanie is just great with our dog. Our dog has skin tag issues and Stephanie is always careful when we point them out to her so as not to hurt her. She does s great job and is very reasonable with her rates. We would not go anywhere else.

The best nail trim experience I've had with my fur babies. Stephanie, the owner, is very warm and friendly. I was able to walk in on a Saturday since it was only a nail trim (and they are open 7 days a week) and Stephanie took care of my 2 small dogs quickly. You can tell that she really loves and animals and was really gentle with my babies. My dogs did not bleed at all, she is really professional and knows what she is doing. I love the fact that the salon is very open, most places take dogs to the back so you don't know what's going on, here I was able to help hold my doggies while they were taken care of (since they squirm a lot and get scared from past bad experiences) I'm def going to keep coming here because good places like these that feel safe, friendly, and clean are hard to find.

Love that I can just call and typically get in the week of. Prior I've only done mobile groomers so the texting back and forth was annoying. They take time to remove knots and not just shave your dog down for a couple mats. I took my mini golden/maltese and I wasn't charged an arm and a leg and I asked for a teddy bear cut cause I don't like a poodle looking cut. It was his best haircut. read more

I took my dog in I asked for a trim it's winter time and I also like my dog with longer hair. The groomer decided to shave him on her own decision saying his hair was long and matted. I brush my dog's hair it is not matted I don't care if it was matted it is not up to you to decide to shave my dog. My dog now looks like a whole different dog and I am so upset.

DON'T BRING YOUR DOG HERE!!!! I dropped my grand dog off this morning and recieved a lackluster greeting. Was told it would take about 2 hrs, call at the 2 hour mark and was told by Shermer she still had to " attempt to cut my grand dog nails because she " scratched me really bad" and she " pooped everywhere". I thought all these types of things were normal when grooming a puppy? These complaints surprised me along with the cost. $85 is not a Thrifty price. Picked my dog up and all they did for $85 was a shampoo! Her nails still sharp, her hair still long!!! Guess what their excuse was to why her nails weren't cut , One of the groomees said they didn't cut her nails because the 3 of them could not handle my dog enough to cut her nails and then the other 1 said it was an extra charge to actually clip my dog's nails! Worse place Ever!!! read more

My lil dog was in SERIOUS need of grooming. She had a thick undercoat which was shedding EVERYWHERE. She had a small amount of matting under her ears. Hubby and I attempted to give her a bath and haircut ourselves which was a joke. So we looked here in yelp, and found Thrifty grooming. I called Stephanie and she got us an appointment that was convenient for both parties. She let me know I need to bring cash. Stephanie is very friendly and takes pride in her work. She loves these animals and I can tell by her actions. She has never met my dog but she held her and loved on her as if it were her own. I was very impressed by the cleanliness of the shop and no stinky smells! There were a couple crates available to temporarily place a pet if needed. She had one dog she was working on when I came in and then mine was next. Our appt was at 11, and she quoted me the dollar amount and timeframe of 2-4 hours. She did EXACTLY what she said by calling me when she was about 20 minutes from the finish line &&&&& she called me at 12:45. I love that my dog wasn't just sitting around all day in a cage. My dog was happy to see me but also made sure to kiss Stephanie good-bye. That's important because it also shows my dog was treated well and not afraid of the groomer. I will DEFINITELY return! The price was reasonable. The shampoo and cut was beyond amazing- leaving my other dogs jealous and we don't have fur flying all over the place anymore. Thank you to Stephanie!!!!! We will be back and highly recommend you to our family and friends! read more

Brush N Pupps Grooming

(40 reviews)

Absolutely 5 Stars - Brush n Pups is the ONLY place for my pup!…read moreI've been taking my Golden Doodle, MILO, to Brush n Pups in Moreno Valley since 2024, and I will not take him anywhere else. From the very first visit, I knew we had found our forever groomer. The service is truly amazing. The team always treats MILO with such gentle care and patience -- he actually looks forward to going now! Their customer service is top-notch too; they're friendly, communicative, and genuinely care about your dog's comfort and happiness. Yes, it's a little pricier than some other places, but the quality, attention to detail, and peace of mind are 100% worth every penny. MILO always comes home looking (and smelling) fantastic with perfectly trimmed nails, clean ears, and a fresh cut. If you love your dog and want him treated like royalty, look no further. Brush n Pups is the real deal. Highly, highly recommend!

We've been coming to Cameron for several years now, and we're always happy with her work. Even…read morethough it's about an hour drive for us, it's absolutely worth it. We've called other salons closer to home, but their prices are much higher, and the quality and service here keep us coming back. In all our visits, we've never experienced any rudeness or negativity quite the opposite. The staff has always been professional and welcoming. As for the cancellation fee some people mention, it's important to be realistic appointments here take hours, and that's valuable time set aside specifically for you. It's completely fair for a business to protect that time. We personally do our best not to cancel, but when something unavoidable comes up, we understand and respect their policy. Overall, we've had nothing but great experiences and will continue to come back! Thanks Cameron and Pawlished Paws!!!!!

I've been coming to Pawlish Paws for over 15 years, and they have always provided good service…read moreuntil I brought my Bernadoodle in for grooming. My son brought our Bernadoodle in to be groomed, and they convinced him that he was matted and required a summer cut. My son reluctantly agreed, and they completely shaved him. To do a summer cut requires no finesse in grooming, and they charged me $189 for a cut that took less than 15 minutes that is no different than a farmer shearing his lambs. Here is a picture of what matted hair looks like, and pictures of my dog before his summer cut. If you look at his summer cut, check out his ears and tail, you can see they did take the time to brush out. Which means they were too lazy to accommodate us. I also pointed out to them that when I brought him there last year, they were accommodating to my request of a trim and could pull up the record on their system. They made the excuse that they couldn't do it because their system was in transaction mode. I question their integrity because they used to list the prices of the services they provided. Now they can subjectively name their prices. I expressed my concerns, and this group of employees quickly dismissed me, saying my pet was a big dog, therefore it cost more, no bigger than my Huskies, which I paid far less for grooming. If you have experienced this type of customer service, stand your ground and demand that they meet your needs/desires for your pet's grooming. What happened to that friendly family atmosphere?

I was heartbroken thinking what my poor old doggie was going thru at that groomers. I found Doggie Day Spa and Maria was gentle and patient with my senior lady, who has since passed.

He definitely needed a wash, and I found Shaggy2swaggypets on a whim. Honestly, Bear gets groomed every week, and he has never been this clean from just a bath and groom. My wife immediately noticed and wants me to bring him back anytime I'm in Riverside. He's received so many compliments since his wash that I can only imagine how great they are with their other services. Casey greeted us and was incredibly hospitable. Bear was in and out in about 45 minutes, which was amazing. Great service, great experience, and Bear looked and smelled fantastic. Highly recommend!

I really loved this place, but they cut my dog's nails so short that he stubbed his toe and it just started gushing blood out of a nail. On top of that, they scratched his cornea in a way that warranted a vet visit. Granted, they paid for it, but I would've much preferred he not need medical attention in the first place. I no longer feel safe bringing my dog to this establishment.

I was also informed that my dog would need to remain in a cage indoors for two hours prior to grooming, which had not been explained beforehand.

I would NOT recommend this business.

BEWARE .. BEWARE!!!…read more I'm writing this review to you today because I had a really surprising and frankly, pretty disappointing experience when I brought my schnauzer in for her recent grooming. I was really hoping for a specific type of service based on our chat beforehand, but what happened wasn't at all what I expected. When I booked the appointment, we talked quite a bit about getting her that classic, breed-standard schnauzer cut. That particular style is super important for her look, and I was assured that you guys were totally skilled in doing it. That's why I felt comfortable bringing her to you - I really trusted that his unique grooming needs would be met. So, imagine how shocked and upset I was when I picked her up and found shed been completely shaved! Her signature schnauzer coat, which defines her , was just gone. It was such an unexpected change and definitely not what we had agreed upon. When I asked about it, I was told it was because of "severe matting." And honestly, I have to strongly disagree with that my dog had some matting on her chest area and spout but nothing to that extreme of completely shaving her down . But more than anything, what really threw me off was the lack of communication. If there was genuinely a problem with matting that meant you couldn't do the schnauzer cut we discussed, I really, really wish I would have got the heads up about the complete shave down and given the option to take my dog elsewhere . A quick heads-up would have allowed us to talk through options, or I could have even come to pick her up. Making such a drastic, irreversible decision without my consent is a big oversight and a bit of a disregard for what I wanted for my pet. This whole situation is more than just a styling mistake; it feels like a real letdown in trust and communication. Seeing my dog like this is quite upsetting, especially after I went out of my way to choose a specialized service. In addition I was charged 80+ for the unauthorized shave down and according to the lady I was also charged for the muzzle they used on her !! Given this rather unsatisfactory experience, I'm sad to say I won't be able to bring my dog back to Nancy's for future grooming. And honestly, it makes it hard for me to recommend your salon to other pet owners looking for reliable service. Please see the photos 2nd photo is how they left my dog.

I typically drop her off in the morning and within 4 to 5 hours they call me and tell me she is ready sometimes shorter than that even She's always looked really great They used to be in the shopping center off of Wood Street but now they're down just a tiny little bit walking distance behind the Ace Hardware I completely recommend this shop for Grooming, they have patience. They do a good job and the price is average for a big dog groom.

I recently took my mini golden doodle, Toby, to Thrifty Grooming and I couldn't be happier with the results. He came out looking like a little teddy bear and the price was great. However, it was a bit challenging to get in touch with them over the phone. If you're looking to schedule an appointment, I highly recommend calling early to ensure you can get a spot on their busy schedule. Despite the difficulty in scheduling, the service provided by Thrifty Grooming was top-notch. The staff was friendly and clearly passionate about what they do. They handled Toby with care and made sure he was comfortable throughout the grooming process. I would highly recommend this groomer to anyone looking for a high-quality grooming experience for their furry friend. Overall, Thrifty Grooming is a great value and my pup looks and feels great after his visit. read more

The owner was SUPER friendly and patient with my kitty! She was very considerate, trying her best to keep him calm in a room full of adorable barking puppies! I had to stay for a while, because petsmart sold us nail caps without glue! But while waiting for my Grandmother to bring back some nail glue to use, I had an opportunity to chat with the staff. They were all very friendly, and treated all of the animals with such love! The dogs being dropped off were actually excited to be there! If you're looking for a groomer that will treat your pet with respect and care, bring them here! You won't regret it! read more

My vet recommended this place for grooming. Stephanie is very friendly and you can tell she loves dogs. I've taken my lab mix twice and both times she came back smelling so nice for days and now has the softest fur (which I never got at the big box places). I highly recommend Stephanie's business. You can't beat the service OR the price! read more
