    Teddy the Basenji

    Dealt with our grumpy basenji with flying colors and was very fast and our pup came out squeaky clean. [[HIGHLIGHT]]TJ was very easy to work with.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    UPDATE 3/27/2026 Tom - you have never even seen our dog. If so you would know that he is absolutely not matted as he is groomed every 4 weeks. Further, 6+ hours late for an appointment is beyond a reasonable.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I this was my first time having my cat groomed, and I'm so glad I chose Tom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The convenience of his mobile grooming was amazing, and he took such gentle care of our cat. I highly recommend his services!

    TJ did an excellent job grooming our senior golden lab during his mobile appointment. Our dog was long overdue for some major TLC and TJ treated him with patience and care. Our dog looked clean, soft, and well trimmed, and he smelled great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The convenience of having TJ come to us and the quality of his work made the whole experience stress free[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and we would definitely book with him again.

    Howard and Gator groomed beautifully!

    Best groomer!! He was thorough with each dog (3 in total, 2 larger, one Yorkie. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dogs went to him like they've known him for years.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If I could give 10 stars, I would!! Best experience for my pups!! I will never go to anyone else!!

    Wonderful groomer! I can't believe I forgot to do a review I had promised TJ I'd do awhile back now. I guess better late than never. Our fur babies Bruno, our pocket bully, and Rosco, our short-haired domestic tabby, were so clean and happy when TJ returned them to us AND we could tell they were well taken care of/ treated well through their grooming experience! In fact, TJ even kept in touch with us via text throughout their grooming experience! It was so cute, he told us we should be proud of Bruno's behavior as Bruno was a bit resistant but did well in the end. TJ was also very knowledgeable about the best shampoo/condition options for Bruno's specific breed and skin issues. We look forward to bringing our babies back to TJ again real soon!

    So we had a family friend pass away (may God bless his soul). He had no immediate family or friends able to keep his dog. So we adopted her into our family. Best thing ever because she is the sweetest thing. Worst thing ever is she's a husky furball. I can't even put into words the amount of fur I've had to deal with. Anyways bittersweet story. We've been searching for a place to get her blown out and washed. Most places need all kinds of info (info I currently do not have.) And they also charge so much. I went on yelp put in my needs in the search and sent out my requests into the yelp universe. And we got a response. TJ's Dog Grooming!!! He messaged me with an appointment today. I dropped her off. Picked her up 2 hours later. Boom done. Less fur. Very affordable. He works out of his home. Oceanside but on the border of Vista. Best decision I've made all week. #supportingsmallbusiness #tjsdoggrooming

    I've brought my 14-year-old Golden Retriever here for grooming 6 or 7 times over the past several…read moreyears because it's conveniently located and they've always done good work. On my most recent visit, however, our bill had increased by about 35%, including a $20 "infrequent grooming" fee. I understand businesses need to raise prices, but this fee caught me off guard because we bathe and brush our dog between appointments. When I dropped my dog off, I jokingly said, "Everything the same as last time... except the infrequent grooming fee." I intended it as lighthearted feedback, not a confrontation. Instead, the owner immediately responded by telling me I was welcome to go somewhere else. The conversation quickly became heated. I'll own my part in that. I wasn't perfect either. But what disappointed me most wasn't the fee itself; it was how quickly a simple comment was met with defensiveness rather than a conversation. As a repeat customer, I hoped my feedback would at least be heard. Ironically, I think there's an easy solution. Instead of adding an "infrequent grooming" surcharge, why not simply offer a loyalty discount to customers who come in more often? The end result is similar, but it feels like rewarding customers instead of penalizing them. To be fair, they do decent quality grooming, and I have no complaints about the care my dog received. Unfortunately, after this interaction, I was asked to take my business elsewhere. We've since found another groomer we're very happy with. I genuinely wish them well. My only advice is that customer feedback, even when you disagree with it, is worth listening to. UPDATE: Thank you for your response. If you were looking to come across as confrontational, argumentative, and defensive, well, then you nailed it.

I discovered this mom and pop shop and their grooming…read morebusiness when I asked about groomers in the area in a Facebook group- Top Dog came highly recommeded! When you step inside, you are surrounded by all kinds of healthy natural treats, a wide array of dog food choices, and cute apparel for your pups! What really blew me away was how responsive Rob the groomer was. He met with me, discussed grooming options, and was transparent about pricing, which was super fair. When it came time to bring in my girls, he did an incredible job washing them, cutting their nails, brushing their teeth, and giving my labradoodle the exact cut I had wanted for her. I was impressed by Rob's friendliness and expertise. Jazzed by his amazing work, I set up a second grooming appointment. I knew I had to do it in advance, because Rob can get pretty booked up! About a week before bringing my pups in, my labradoodle had terrible diarrhea and made a mess of herself (and my place). I reached out to Rob, and he told me was totally inundated with appointments, but would fit her in just to bathe her. Later that day, I dropped off my very dirty and soiled labradoodle. When I came to pick her up, she was a vision! She was sparkly white and looked like she had a Brazilian blowout! The amount of compassion and level of attention he still managed to give her on a very crazy day brought tears to my eyes. Today was both my pups' appointment day. I got to meet the owner Andrew, and he is super engaging and passionate about his space. I was again completely dazzled by how clean and well cared for my dogs were. I am grateful to Andrew, Rob, and this place of business for being so fantastic! It is no wonder Top Dog was suggested repeatedly to me, and now I highly recommend them, too!
