My Dog’s Spot

I can’t be more happy. I have a four year old golden and we have tried pet smart and had some truely terrible experiences. I am so happy to have found this company and Tina did a great job with my dog he came home happy and ready to play. His grooming is truely awesome clean and professional. I would recommend this place over and over again. Great pet care.

The only groomer that did a great job here was Kayla, taking my dogs to Fashion Fo Paws now, they do a great job EVERY time.

We just moved to Lincoln and my dog needed some TLC really bad! It had been way too long since she had a wash and cut and she was shedding like crazy. My Dogs Spot did a great job with her and the price wasn’t bad either. Thanks ladies, we are very happy and will brining our dog back.

We have never taken any of our dogs to be groomed before, but our little guy now, well, he needed a cut of his super soft, always getting dirty, hair. Tayler did a wonderful job, he looks great. I was so thankful she took time with our dog, giving him rests between times of working on him, because he is not a dog that likes baths or having his hair messed with. Tayler was very conscientious, and caring, she listened to what we were thinking, and helped us decide how best to cut his hair. It turned out just great, we are so happy, and our little guy looks like the «little prince» that he thinks he is. :)

Used this shop for 5 years Now under new ownership messed up or Schnauzer s cut Not going back

I absolutely love the dog spot! It is always super clean! All the employees are so sweet and you can really tell they care about the dogs there. I take my dog Scooby here a lot for daycare (super affordable, $ 8 for half day, $ 16 for full day,) and of course grooming! It makes me feel so good that I’m dropping my dog off with good people. Right when I walk in the door with Scooby the employees get so excited to see him, which makes him super excited and happy to be there (he literally pushes his way through the gate to get in there). They do a great job bathing my dog, and whatever shampoos they use are amazing because he smells great twice as long as any other place I’ve taken him to in the past. I love the daycare option, you never have to call ahead to make sure they can take your dog for the day, they always have room. Love love love this place! Definitely would recommend to everyone!

Horrible. I asked for them to shave my goldendoodles belly, trim the hair between her pads, and sanitary shave under her tail. They shaved skin off of her belly about the size of a quarter. They nicked skin between her pads, and they shaved skin off of her bum. I emailed them because they were not open at the time. Have not heard a thing back from them. And I really don’t care. I will never go in there again. They obviously don’t have a clue as to what they are doing or maybe they just don’t care.

My dog was hurt while being groomed at My Dog Spot. On a positive note, they gave me a full refund, but the rest of my experience with this business was negative. I have a one-​year old Morkie who is high energy and always happy. She had an 8am appt on Friday. The place was closed when we arrived at 7:50am. There were 4 dogs and three people waiting outside the locked door by the time the groomers Katie and Debbie arrived about 8:07am, neither apologizing for being late. My sister picked up my dog from the appt at 11:15am and by noon, it was obvious something was wrong with her. She did not go to the bathroom or get off the couch all afternoon, and ate dinner at 7pm while laying on the kitchen floor. Her paw pads were ripped up, severely chaffed, and she couldn’t walk more than five or six steps without sitting or laying down. She was in obvious pain. She couldn’t get up the stairs at home that night and going to the bathroom obviously caused her pain. The next morning, nothing had changed. I spent Saturday with her, carrying her out to go to the bathroom and feeding her in bed because she couldn’t walk more than a few steps without laying down. I called and spoke with Debbie, the groomer, who was belligerent and argumentative She proudly told me she had 35 years of grooming experience and when my dog left the appointment, she was fine. She demanded I bring her back to prove what I was saying was true. The conversation I had with the owner was just as disappointing, with no concern for my dog. I’m posting this review to hopefully save people and their pets from having the same painful experience as we did at My Dog Spot.

You will be so happy to meet Doug (Ralph) Chaney, the co-​owner of My Dog’s Spot. What an incredibly kind, caring, trustworthy, professional and overall amazing human being. WOW is an understatement. Clearly the customer always comes first, whether it’s the fur or human kind. I think if you are looking for a quality shop, you should look no further. I don’t have enough nice words to say about this man and his establishment. The care he took of my little dog, Chotchki, was nothing short of perfection. Thank you to Doug, and My Dog’s Spot!

We love this place! They take fabulous care of our lab and chihuahua.

I’ve been taking my dog here since about 2007. But I have noticed the change in staff for the worst over the last few years. I’ve sworn to myself that this would be the last time i would take my dog here … and this time it is! I know my dog has long hair and it gets matted easily but i do maintenance on her myself in between the times that she goes there to get groomed and i tell the ladies there to not try and comb out the mattes just make it easy on everyone and just shave them out! I tell them Cassie isn’t a show dog. she’s our beloved pet and i don’t want her to go through any discomfort nor have it take the groomer a longer time. I had an appt at 1pm for Cassie to be dropped off and they said she would be done around 5~5:30pm…I called them at 5:45 and they said they were still working on her and they would call me when she’s done. At 7pm i showed up at the groomers and they were still working on her! When i went to pay… instead of charging me $ 35 as what they quoted me… they charged me $ 50 for having to de~tangle her. When i told the lady that’s not what I had asked for she said sorry she «didn’t mean to say de~tangle but it just took the groomer a lot longer to groom Cassie so that was the extra charge.» I grantee that my dog wasn’t any different this time as to any other time she ever gone in!!! That groomer didn’t get a tip form me!!! she can take it out of the extra hidden fee they charged me!
After I paid i was waiting for Cassie and the groomer was trimming her face… she nipped my dogs throat… she Unilocaled out a cry and the groomer lady looked at me from the corner of her eye to see if i saw. Of course i did!!! I will never take my dog here again!!!

I took my doggies to get full grooming here a couple days ago. It was great to be greeted by the owner. She was very nice and happy to see us. I had not been here in quite awhile, simply because their grooming has seemed to coincide with trips to Seal Beach. My doggies were due for the works. When I picked them up I was very happy with the finished product. They are both poodle mix something’s but need very specific cuts. The make over was a success. Good cuts! Beautifully done on both of them. Not too short like I asked, yet cleaned up. Semi summer type cut. They were very shiny and smooth and tired when they returned home, to bed. Grooming wears them out and relaxes them. I felt the pricing was reasonable too. They were ready on time as well. Clean safe place. Pam the owner has done a good job with her business. They also do day care and sell some products for home care and a selection of toys.

I love My dog spot. They do a great job in cutting my dog’s hair and I love the fact that my dog is able to play with other dogs after her grooming rather than being locked in a crate.

I have taken my dog to other places in the past and every time the cut wasn’t exactly what I wanted. A friend referred me here and I went in hoping that they could get it right. The very first visit and my dog looked great! Tina grooms my dog Henry and she is awesome!!! It’s also nice that they do free face trims in between visits because my little guy needs it! I love this place so much that I referred my sister in law.

This place is one of best grooming spas in the Sacramento and Yuba counties. Sierra does a wonderful job. My black pug Lucky starts wagging his tail when he tell him he is going to the spa and see Sierra. He comes out there with his tail wagging like crazy and he is smiling from ear to ear. We are so happy that we finally found this spa. Awesome.

We brought our pomeranians to My Dog’s Spot late last year for the first time and we were amazed. Our dogs are 11 years old and have seen many different groomers but none had ever made their coats looks that great and the dogs didn’t want to leave the cozy little sitting area. Somehow the groomers (Janet and not sure who groomed the other) managed to get every bit of undercoat out, give a slight trim and make our dogs look so sweet. We were immediate fans!!!
Then we moved to Rocklin and hadn’t had a chance to get grooming done. we finally got in last weekend. This time wasn’t so great. Not sure what happened but the dogs still had a lot of undercoat — in fact it was flying all around the car as soon as they got in. The trim on the coat was not smooth and they really didn’t look much different than when they got dropped off.
It was really disappointing to have such a dramatic change in the service provided. There are a lot of groomers in Rocklin but we drove the dogs out to Lincoln (and waited an extra week to get in) just to have the same top-​notch experience we had the first time. If you do decide to visit My Dog’s Spot be sure to ask for Janet… you might have to wait an extra 3 – 4 weeks but it will be worth it. We on the other hand are going to take our chances looking for a new groomer that is closer to home.

If I could I would not even give a single star. I’m extremely disappointed with this place. I used to love getting my dog groomed here, in fact it’s the only place I would take her until she got kennel cough. Now over $ 200 later, still dealing with the cough I contacted them JUST to inform them as to hopefully help it not happen to someone else but instead of being curtious and apologetic to a loyal costumer the manager was condescending and rude blaming ME. However, my dog is NEVER around other dogs and came down with this cough right after having been there for a groom. Had she just apologized and been nice and understanding I wouldn’t have felt the need to write a negative review but when you act the way she did she obviously doesn’t have a lot of experience with costumer service, which is a shame considering you need costumers at any business. You don’t blame the costumer, haven’t you ever heard «the costumer is always right»?? The funny thing is this kennel cough was undoubtedly picked up from this place as my dog, like I said, is never around other dogs AND it developed right after having gone there. Take responsibility for your business and learn some costumer service and understanding. I will never return to this place and I don’t recommend it in the least. Getting kennel cough, and a rude condescending manager? Why would anyone want to go here? If only they treated a concerned costumer with respect then there would have been no reason to complain.

I took my dog for her first grooming at this location. I told the receptionist and the groomer that I did not want a ‘lion cut’ on my dog. When I picked her up, she had a lion cut and was told they just couldn’t give her a puppy cut because the lion cut gave her so much character. (I thought I was the one paying for this!) There was also shampoo residue and lots of residual undercoat. Won’t take my pet there again.

Came to this place a while back with my pooch, and we were fairly impressed at the small little boutique/​grooming salon. For a small space, they’ve got a handful of fun items for your pet. Clothes, collars, accessories, toys, etc.
As a matter of fact, we came in looking for a birthday treat for a fellow dog friend. They also sell birthday cakes for dogs, which is perfect for those that don’t want to bake their own homemade one.

I have a shih tzu and both my husband and I are not ‘show dog people”. We like to keep his hair «longerish» but nothing like you see on TV at the dog shows… oh heavens! So when it is time to go to the groomers Wicket (our little guy) has a few mats (and I do brush and bath him weekly myself… I think I had to throw that in b/​c I was feeling guilty! HAHA)
Every time we go to a groomer the same thing happens… we tell them we understand he has mats and know that you will probably have to cut his hair (AKA shave) him shorter than we like. We ask them to please keep his face round and not cut it in towards his jowls so he ends up looking like that flying dog Falcor from the Neverending Story. But… when we pick him up, he looks 10 pounds lighter and I want to hop on his little back and fly away with my fist in the air so the «the nothing» won’t get me.
My husband is way more critical than I am when it comes to the groomer too but would never say anything. So… this time began the same as the others. Always off to a good start. The place is SUPER cute. I would love to stay there for a day. It is clean and very inviting. A few hours go by and I get a call from my husband… he is almost yelling at me (IN A GOOD WAY). We knew Wicket had some bad mats going into this visit so we were not expecting anything short of a buzz cut. The call I received was an overwhelming RAVE review of how amazing our dog looked. The groomer took the time to brush out his mats, trim his hair, and trim is face exactly the way we ask. I got off the phone with him and called the groomer myself and thanked them as they must have done an outstanding job as my husband just called and literally yelled at me about how amazing MY DOG SPOT is!!!
When I got home I was a bit surprised as this was the best grooming job our dog has ever received. I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend My Dog Spot. Not only do they do an outstanding job but the whole shop is just adorable and is like a day spa for your most loved pet!
