    They helped cut a very difficult nail for my dog
    Kathy N.

    Highly recommend this family owned and local business. They took my dog in and cut her nails well. My dog is not usually comfortable with other people and they took the extra mile to keep her comfortable. I will definitely be back. When you support a business like this, you support local folks in the community. They are good people!!! Thanks Karla and her family for great service!

    This is our little Boozy  after his appointment.

    I am beyond satisfied with the service that was provided. Our little guy got the cut I was looking for. I definitely recommend Washing Whiskers!!!

    So happy we were recommended here! The staff was extremely kind and super accommodating of our large dog who cannot be kenneled. Great haircut very fair prices and nice staff!

    I cannot recommend them highly enough for all fellow dog parents out there! My mal always smells so great after. What impresses me the most is how long he stays clean after his grooming session. My pup can be a handful, but the staff here handles him with such care and patience. Highly recommend!

    We finally found an amazing grooming place to take our poodle to! We have had so many bad experiences with pet grooming in the past, and am always skeptical to try new places, however washing whiskers has changed our minds! They do such an amazing job!! I love the fact that they are fast, detailed and so sweet to our dog!! I can't brag enough about their great work with our dog! Thank you to all the staff at washing whiskers for taking such good care of Romeo and for proving great customer service! We appreciate you!

    I'm beyond pleased with washing whiskers!! My fiancé dropped them off and I felt safe and at ease that they were in safe hands..when I picked them up not only where they exited and happy but they seemed comfortable! Beyond that they did an amazing job cleaning both my dogs expecially my husky..they deshedded her and gave her such a nice cut I don't have to deal with all the hair she usually leaves behind. With all that being said I was comfortable leaving them in their hands, they came out happy and with treats & bandannas, cute bows, clean and smelling good I couldn't ask for more, this will be our go to groomer!

    My girl's are so comfortable here. The walk right in and are happy to go into the crate. Michelle and her staff are very attentive to them and take care to always check for any special requests. I really appreciate how they remember each on and their personalities

    Fantastic place to get your pup groomed! We usually drive to LB to get our dog groomed but heard Washing Whiskers was great! Dropped off my dog Theo to get groomed and went down the street for a car wash! The staff is super friendly and the facility is very clean! Theo came back wagging his tail so I would say it was 5 paw service!

    Finally San Pedro has a good dog groomer. :).... Pacific Pet Grooming did a great job on our dogs. Will be back. Thank you for taking good care of our dogs..

    This is how Michelle groomed my dog!

    Pacific Pet Grooming is under new ownership and unfortunately, it does not compare with Michelle's operation. My cavachon got a bath and "tuneup" there and did not look like he was groomed at all. He was not white, his hair was not blown straight, and it did not look like his face or feet were trimmed. Prices were higher, too. We miss you, Michelle!

    the white dog is who got groomed!! the best photo i could get of her unfortunately lol

    My dog looked fabulous after!! My puppy was very young and wiggly but they did an absolute fabulous job!! Chiplet (my puppy's name lol) looked like an expensive pup lemme tell ya!! Even with how chaotic she is she came back so beautiful!!

    Before

    First things first. The owner of this shop is INCREDIBLE and the level of service is above and beyond. Details: I adopted two homeless dogs who were in dire straights. They had not seen a bath in years-- perhaps ever. Their hair was extremely matted/ dreaded and I had no idea what I was going to do. I called Pacific Pet and Michelle was so kind. She offered to stay open (for 3 extra hours!!) and help my dogs. Let the photos speak for themselves.

    See all

    Do you do long haired cats? I want to have my long hair bathed and groomed.

    Hi sorry for the late reply. We do take in cats however would have to call to see about booking an appointment either to be the first one in no dogs or the last one. Hope this helps.

I called ahead to ask if they take cats, and the woman on the phone was very kind and helpful. She explained everything clearly and reassured me that my cat would be well taken care of. My cat, Kiwi, is a very chilled cat but she has asthma and is afraid of water. The staff did a great job handling her and kept me updated throughout the process sending me messages and pictures, which I really appreciated. They let me know she did well overall, even though she got nervous during her bath, they handled her with care the entire time. The service took about two hours, which I liked because they didn't rush and made sure she was comfortable. They even gave her breaks and treats. I also appreciated that they air-dry cats instead of using a blow dryer. I also appreciate how they keep the cats separated from the dogs, unlike PetSmart. The pricing is on the pricier side, but it makes sense for the level of care they provide. My total came out to about $100 because my cat needed extra assistance during her bath, plus an additional $5 for teeth cleaning, which is not included in the base service, you have to request that. Overall, I had a great experience and will definitely be returning!

I searched for a long time before finding a groomer that offers such detailed, gentle, and attentive care at a reasonable price. Many other salons were charging well over 15% more for similar services. They also always do the cutest themed photoshoot at the end of each groom (the theme changes monthly!), and some months they even offer paw art using your pup's paw to create a keepsake. Nail polish is available too, which is such a fun touch! Highly recommend Kayleigh and her team!

I sent a few messages to other mobile groomers, because my cat has a hard time cleaning his bum, and he's not a fan of dogs. He had a bad experience at a groomer who had so many pups at her location. Some didn't service cats, others only a physical location and a few just extremely high priced. I thought mobile would be better and it was! I have mobility issues and my boy weighs close to 30 pounds. Rene responded with very reasonable pricing, gave me a date and time and said we come to you. He fit me in for an urgent appointment. He made me feel comfortable and confident that he has experience grooming cats. He was very communicative up to the minute he arrived at my house. He actually arrived earlier than expected, which was perfect for us. He's such a friendly man, gentle with pets, just AMAZING! He took him to his van, 15 minutes later he was done and my boy is as happy as a clam. I've been spending time trying to help him clean with wipes and dawn dish soap but he's got very long fur. Rene even got some of the mats out that were on his belly. It was great to see my boy returned and not traumatized. He kept coming back over to the door to "thank Rene". I'm new to LB and was looking for a groomer whom we can create a relationship with. And who my cats trust and like also (I have 3 cats, 2 girls and one boy). I will be contacting Rene when it's time for his summer shave. My daughter and I have been doing it ourselves the last few years.

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.

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.

    We recently took our dog to Love on a Leash Grooming. The actual grooming job was great, her cut…read morelooked clean, even, and the groomer put effort into getting through her matted fur. The pricing and communication were the frustrating part. We were quoted $85 on the phone, which sounded totally fair. When we dropped her off, the price went up to $110 because of matting .. understandable, but would've been good to know before we drove there. After the groom, they added another $10 because our dog was "difficult to work with." When we went to pay, there was also a fee for using a card. None of this was mentioned up front, so the whole experience felt like surprise charges stacked on top of each other rather than a clear price from the start. Unfortunately, our dog developed a UTI afterward. Our vet said the very close shave around her vulva area could have caused irritation and likely played a role. We had to get antibiotics and a follow-up exam, which cost another $140. So, a grooming visit that started at $85 ended up being a lot more than expected and could've been avoided. We don't think anyone meant for this to happen, but being more careful around sensitive spots on female dogs would be appreciated. And being upfront about pricing and possible extra charges would prevent a lot of frustration. Overall, the haircut looked great, but the unexpected fees and the aftermath made it hard to walk away happy. With better communication and gentleness, this could've been a positive experience.
