I had had mostly good experiences here. Sure, they would take longer than promised to finish the grooming, often after their closing time. And it's impossible to reach them by phone (besides leaving a message and getting a call back in a few days... which isn't reasuring when I'm calling to check how much longer the grooming will take). But they usually did what I requested, and I was happy with the result. But the last time I brought in my dog, my dog was very badly injured when I picked her up. They hurt her leg somehow - I'm going to guess they forcefully held her paw for nail cutting, instead of acknowledging her protests. (She's a vocal breed, so unfortunately some groomers are inclined to ignore her vocal cues.) My dog couldn't stop whimpering in pain for 2 months. Even in her sleep, she would wake up whimpering from the pain (for about a month). I took her to the vet right away, thinking maybe her leg was broken. The vet said nothing was broken or dislocated, thankfully. But her whimpering in pain broke my heart. What also bothers me is that when I dropped her off, I told the person she has sensitivity in her front paws so to please be gentle. Obviously that was ignored. One factor (I have to assume) is that the person I dropped my dog off with is not the same person who was there when I picked up my dog. So I wonder if what I said even got communicated to whoever was grooming her or cutting her nails. I called Wizard of Paws, and they denied knowing what I was talking about (that my dog had been injured, was whimpering in pain, etc) - said they had no idea how it may have happened, and that it surely wasn't because of them. Overall, it was mostly fine getting my dog groomed here... until it wasn't. read more

Man, I'll be honest with you.. This place I felt, for a time, was heaven sent. And then I came in to pick my dogs up early and the rocket doctor that was in the back didn't know that the dog she was telling to shut the f**k up was my dogs. (Oh I straight up girl you, you toad) She repeatedly told them to shut up with all the expletives. I get it . Shaving dog assholes and balls all day must be "exhausting". But if you're in that job and you don't wanna do that şhiît then you don't belong in animal care. When we give you our animals, we are giving you an extreme amount of trust and this place is now tainted in my mind. However, I have a little choice, but to go elsewhere. I will continue to take my animals here out of necessity, but know that I know . read more

Took my dog into this pet grooming shop for a different purpose socializing of my dog and last week this shop did a complete grooming, So while waiting one of the girls said to me your puppies nails are a bit long and I told her she had her nails done last week, And the girl said does shes walk on grass and I said it's only week ago , Then she said we can do it for 10 dollars and i responded she had them done last week, So I guess you must check and make sure the service you paid for is done, be aware !!!!!!!! read more

I scheduled.my dog for a was and groom a week in advance. I had not used Wizard of Happy Paws, but wanted to give it a try. I dropped off at 11am as scheduled, and my first impression was that they seemed very disorganized. At first, telling me that they had no appointment for my dog. They told me that it would take 2-3 hours. I returned 3 hours later only to be told that he wasn't ready. He'd only had a bath, and that "it was going to be awhile" that there were 3 other dogs in front of mine. I told them that if that was the case, then they were overscheduling. I took my dog home without being groomed. I tried calling, and they do not answer their phone either. The voicemail they have says it make take 2-3 days to get back to you. Won't ever go back here again. read more

So I have a Belgian Malinois, he has high anxiety isn't really social doesn't like men the whole works haha And we've been having trouble finding the right groomer for him. Last place I took him to he started to pee in my car as soon as we would arrive. I have not seen him let anyone pet him faster than the girl at this groomer. She took her time introducing herself to him until he felt comfy enough with her then they kept me there a little bit so he'd feel safe. After that it was all in their hands. He did great with them they had no issues I was relived and one thing I really loved was when he started to stress out they stopped his grooming and called it a day. He was already bathed and dried at this point. They care about your furry family members not just the money. I will continue coming to them since my dog felt comfortable with them and so did I because of how he was treated. read more

Today was supposed to be my first appointment. They called to let me know there was a cancellation and asked if I could bring my dog in early, so I did. The person at the front acted rushed. She was reaching for my dog and dismissing me. I told her this was my first time there and she didn't even know how I wanted her groomed. So she said, "How do you want her groomed?" I told her and let her know my dog has sensitive skin. She took her, and said, "Okay, Ashley her groomer is stuck so it will be a couple hours." I told her I didn't want my dog sitting in the kennel while Ashley was stuck and asked if I could bring her later. She assured me that she wouldn't be sitting in the kennel and she would take her back to wash her right then. So I left my dog. Her dismissive and rushed manner made me feel uncomfortable. I was worried that she would put perfume on her so I went back in to make sure that she understood. I found the person that assured me that she was taking my dog back to get washed right away visiting with the other person in the office. I told her I felt uncomfortable and being my first visit I felt like she should have been more concerned with how I wanted my dog groomed, especially because of her allergies. She told me, "You know I am a groomer and I know what I am doing. I know how to treat a dog with allergies." I told her that I was not comfortable with the situation and that I didn't want to have my dog groomed there. She told me, "I'm sorry that you feel that way." She went and pulled my dog out of the other room and I left. read more

Kylo and Hera had thier first appointment today and I was pleased with the results. Huskys are fur monsters and they started shedding a ton this week. Jennifer and her crew took great care of them. Both came home feeling clean, super soft and sporting a bandana (Kylos favorite). Great price and awesome service. We will be back! One thing. Next time please do not leave the dogs alone with their leashes. Hera is a chewer and ruined her $40 leash. We have to get good ones because hes sometimes hard to walk. Thanks! read more

Our Chief has had a huge adjustment after moving from city life to mountain bliss....elk, coyotes and bears oh my! Overdue for pampering, we chose the Wizard of Happy Paws after reading their excellent Yelp rating. They welcomed our newbie with open arms (that in and of itself was HUGE to us). They did not disappoint! It is our pleasure to also give TWOHP a 5 Star rating. Very fair price and they made out Chief look like a King! Looking forward to pampering him there monthly. The photo clearly explains how pleased Chief is. read more

We were told that it will only take a couple of hours but it took them four hours and 30 minutes. That's fine. We understand the long wait and we even told the groomer to take her time because she said they were understaffed. But what we cannot accept was that they cut our shih tzu really bad. To top it off, she casually mentioned that she almost cut our dog's tail . I think she was trying to comfort us at this point. It was our first time to experience this. I do not recommend this establishment to anyone. It's every pet owner's nightmare. Be warned! read more

I tired Wizard Of Happy Paws for the first time yesterday for my large breed dog (90LB) Trouble, and they did an amazing job. It was my first time taking him to be groomed, and he was a little nervous. They did everything they could to keep him calm, and make the grooming experience as stress free as possible. It only took an hour, and when I picked him up he smelled wonderful, and was wearing an adorable bandana around his neck. I will for sure be using them again! read more

I love everything about this place. From the minute I scheduled an appointment and expressed my concerns until the time came when I picked up my baby. She's an old gal that had never been groomed and they took extra care of her. They were gentle and they said she did very well. She was beautiful and bedazzled She had a great time and can't wait to return. read more

This review is for the old business- formerly wizard of pawz. The new business should have to get a new yelp. The review was for the former co owner Jose who has moved on and opened a new amazing shop in Golden hills. Be sure to check it out. Review for former owner Jose- amazing with my dogs. They come back smelling fresh and always sparkling. I've been here quite a few times and will continue to take all of my dogs there. My dog had a terrible experience at petsmart and Jose is always extra careful with my baby. He is a great asset to the community. read more

This place is great! Jennifer squeezed Jake in for a bath after he graciously rolled in fertilizer on our run this morning. This is the first time we've had him professionally bathed and they did a wonderful job! Upon picking him up, I immediately noticed how much softer and shinier his coat was. He smells good and looks so handsome! Cost was just what I thought it would be. Jessica and the other girl (didn't catch her name) were so very friendly. Jake took to Jessica immediately and I felt so comfortable leaving him there with her. When I picked him up, he was wearing a sweet pup bandana around his neck and got sent home with a goodie bag of treats! Will definitely be back! read more

Best place to bring to bring your pet. I love how they don't make your dog sit in a cage all day like other places. They work on your dog at their appt time and call you about 1 hour later. Super friendly and wonderful to chat with. I was blown away by how friendly they are. My dog also looks wonderful. I'm sad I'm moving because this is the best place I've taken my dog to. read more

They did an awesome job! My Jack is really stubborn, but he seemed to be calm during his experience here. He got a "small dog special" which included... Bath, ears cleaned, nails trimmed, teeth brushed, and anal gland... All for $10!! Great deal! and he even got a free bandana!! The employees here are really friendly with you and your fur babies. I Definitely recommend Wizard of Pawz :) read more

They did AMAZING with my husky. I honestly hate leaving him with anyone, but after reading all the reviews (and looking at my babys fur) I booked him an appointment. They responded to my text for an appointment within 24 hours! They also charged me about 1/2 of what my old groomer used to charge and they did it in less time. I'm glad my old groomer moved away and I found this gem! Super happy customer, super handsome dog and I will be a long time customer now! read more

Wonderful groomer! I brought my cockapoo, Calla, in for grooming usually every 1.5 - 2 months while I lived in Tehachapi. They were amazing and caring with handling my pup dog and she always came out looking so cute with little flowers by each ear. Even with Calla's rough mountain dog playing, those flowers would stay in for a few WEEKS! She was usually ready to be picked up in an hour and a half, compared to 4 or 5 hours at Petsmart. The price was VERY reasonable. Moreover, Calla was always in a good mood afterwards. With other groomers, she would be angry when I picked her up, and would pout for the rest of the day. Aside from Kohnen's, Wizard of Pawz, is the only other thing I miss about living in Tehachapi. read more

Awesome! So glad i found this place, i have been looking for a groomer that could compare with one that i used when i lived out of state..and i have found that here. First i want to mention that i thought my appointment was at 11am, and come to find out i screwed up and it was at 10am. Because it was my mistake, i didn't expect them to see me that day since i showed up an hour later...but they actually still accommodated my pup, and i didn't even have to wait for a later time. The fact they did that was really appreciated. When my pup was ready, she looked so great, perfect, clean, on point..she was so spunky with her new cut :) i will def be coming back and bringing my 2 other pups in :) thank you so much!! read more

Took my two big dogs. They were so nice and professional. I have a hairy Australian shepherd and they gave him the best sanitary cut and a great clean wash to get the dirt off. Friendly staff and was able to leave the dog while at work for the day. Would highly recommend this place for any dog. read more

I am very pleased with the great service my dog receives from Wizard of Happy Paws. The cost is very reasonable and the ladies are so friendly. The whole place is Wizard of Oz themed which is so nostalgic and very cute. At the end of every appointment they put a bow in my dog's hair and give her a baggie of treats. They even allowed us to take a bag of treats for our other doggie in the car. read more
