The best grooming experience ever Hannah was so kind and respectful and very kind to shadow I wish I can give 10 stars but I can't it won't let me but best experience ever best kind I like this store a lot better than the one in Arroyo grande even though the arroyo grande is closer to me but it's worth the drive because I know the groomers and the in people is here are nicer more respectful hanna did a good job of Probably one of the best bath jobs I have ever seen and Hannah was even nice enough to put bows and my dogs even though shadow doesn't like bows but it was very nice thought so Hannah thank you and thank you to all your staff thank you
the "self service" dog wash is awesome. the groomer does a great job with our pom as well
Always clean.
The self serve dog wash is hands down the worst on the central coast. I've been here twice due to being in a hurry to get chores done on my only day off and, both times the tubs have been disgusting.

The self serve dog wash is hands down the worst on the central coast. I've been here twice due to being in a hurry to get chores done on my only day off and, both times the tubs have been disgusting. They don't get cleaned after each use so there was hair from numerous dogs still in the tub when I showed up. Once I cleaned the tub myself and bathed my dog I tried to use the blow dryers but, they might be suitable for a super short hair dog like a bull dog or something but, any real amount of fur would be better suited to a ride in the backseat with the windows down... There was no need to attempt to dry my dog's paws as the floor had a half an inch of water on it so she just got wet again as we walked out. This honestly just makes my overall life a little more difficult because since I have to clean up this mess anyway I might as well stay home and save the $12 or drive 45 mins to the Lemos in Morro Bay to not have to stand in a puddle and clean up someone else's dog's hair... I guess I've always enjoyed being by the beach more anyway so off to Morro Bay I go next time around...
