Aptos Dog & Cat Grooming

I prefer to bathe my dog myself as she gets very nervous so I don’t like to leave her. Nails on the other hand I leave to the professionals. I brought my dog in and was pleasantly surprised by how reasonable it was. I could hear my dog being comforted as she trimmed her nails. A few minutes later we were on our way!

I took my Pom yesterday and was very pleased! Bea did his grooming and she did a awesome job! He was a little scared at first but he seemed to be happy when she was done. He looked and smelt so beautiful!

Just moved here in December and heard great things about Aptos Grooming. Have taken our little cavalier here several times now. Linda always has her done quickly and beautifully, and with no trauma (or drama).

what can I tell you… perfect. I do wish they could walk the dogs if it is gong to be a long time but we have been taking our two, a 11# apricot poodle and 16# multipoo for years now and the cut is perfect. They are clean as a whistle. Linda is great. We go every three weeks.

Took our Bernese Mountain here for the first time in April. She came back well groomed and happy. Would definitely use again.

Linda was recommended by a person I met while in line for coffee. She said that Linda was really nice, reasonable and understood Shih Tzu dogs. So, I was excited to give Linda a try. It took a couple of weeks to get in, and was told to leave my dog in the morning as early as possible and then pick him up around 6 hours later. So, I took him in and got him after work. He looked good and Linda was very nice. After walking him to the corner, I noticed he would sit down and look at me like he was bothered by something. We walked a little more and same thing… he’d all of a sudden sit and not move. Well this went on for over a week and finally I made an appointment at the vet. He said he had an inflamed anal gland and that maybe the person was a bit «agressive». Well, I wasn’t happy about that at all. My little dog never has had a problem like that. Then another thing is, the person who referred me to Linda told me that small dogs are $ 37-​. I liked the price. But when I picked my dog up, she told me it was $ 54-​. Hummm. Why? Her sign said $ 37– for small dogs. Then when I looked at his ears, they weren’t plucked or cleaned. Just a powdery mess and like little balls of stuff with the powder. It turns out he had an ear infection. (Why didn’t she mention that his ears looked wierd? or something? Then I looked at his paws and she didnt clip the long hair that grew out of the paws. I won’t be back. I was truely disappointed.

Over the past 25 consecutive years, Linda’s «Aptos Dog and Cat Grooming» has been our ‘go to’ expert groomer for each and every one of our dogs and kitties. We’ve always been a predominately Cocker Spaniel family with 2 Yorkies and, now, a King Charles Spaniel rolled in to the familial mix. With Spaniel ears and feathers needing regular attention, I’m now bringing in my ‘3^rd generation’ of ‘canine kids’ to Linda for their weekly bath and grooming maintenance. You know your doggies are going to the right place when they wiggle their tails and happily squirm into their leashes so they can dash into Linda’s! Linda has that kind, yet firm, special rapport with even the most difficult personalities on her grooming table. I highly recommend Linda’s «Aptos Dog and Cat Grooming»!

As a pet care provider I am often asked about where people can take their pets to be groomed. I first met Linda at Aptos Grooming when a client whose pets I was caring for had a grooming appt for their dogs while they were out of town. They came home looking absolutely gorgeous. Her intake in the morning was smooth and the dogs were not the least bit anxious. It was obvious they were comfortable with her. I have since referred many (happy) pets and their parents.

Dear Linda ~ I always meant to write you a note before we moved to Montana 3 weeks after we lost Miss Daisy. Our experience with 14 years of your kindness and gentle care as she aged was so positive and, at the end of her life, so touching. I will always remember how she barged right through the gate so she could get in line for her beauty treatment! So glad that my friends still come to you and I wish Happy Charlie (our BIG Cavachon) could experience a day at Aptos Grooming. Love from Montana ~~ Susanna Eaton

My experience with Aptos Dog and Cat Grooming, and specifically with the owner Linda, has been nothing but positive. Her level of professionalism, knowledge, and skill all come together to provide the best in customer service and care. She and her staff have a positive attitude and treat the animals that are under their care with kindness and consideration. I would have no qualms about sending anyone to this shop. Be aware that she has a loyal clientele and if often booked far in advance, so it’s best to make an appointment in advance of when you will need it.
