Sparky’s Pet Grooming

This is a long overdue review. I have been taking my cat to Sparky’s for years and have always had a great experience. My Persian cat is feisty and won’t let me bathe her or trim her nails so I leave it to Pat and his crew to deal with her cattitude. Pat greets me by name every time I walk in and calls within hours that she’s ready for pick up. She looks so cute with her lion cut and knows it! I know I can trust Sparky’s to take care of my cat and the service is top notch! Really, can’t say enough good things. I’m happy to see that the other Unilocalers agree.

Pat is just wonderful. He really does love and care for dogs. I wanted to take my puppy in for a much needed haircut and Pat was so kind and understanding over the phone that he gave me a same day appointment despite how busy they were. They did take a little longer than the three hours but it was understandable considering how many pets were there and my requests. I am more than satisfied with their service and will certainly return. They are about $ 10 more expensive than my last place (petsmart) but I felt that they earned it. I highly recommend them!

Best dog grooming on the Westside! A little pricey, but always end up with consistently fantastic results.

Service is 5 star! The staff are genuine animal lovers, thank you so much! Normally my dog hates getting her hair washed but here she enjoys it, when’s she’s happy I’m happy :)

THEY CUT THE SHIT OUT OF MY CAT’S LEG AND DIDN’T EVEN BRING IT TO OUR ATTENTION — tried to ignore it. Noticed the issue when we got home — very deep cut. Don’t do business with this unprofessional grumpy man + crew. Hope they go out of business soon.

After hours of searching for a location to get grooming services for my cat, I finally found Sparky’s! After reading the great reviews, I called today to inquire about their services and pricing. I also wanted to make sure they didn’t perform any sedation and to make sure they would handle my fussy cat with care. I was able to get an him in today ! That was the icing on the cake because most places I have to schedule an appointment and/​or they must sedate the cat. I was told it would be an hour and a half and he would be ready.
They were right on time! When I picked Ming up he wasn’t in one of his irritated moods that usually happens anytime he gets a bath! He was just his usual chipper self! I’d have to say Sparky’s handled my fussy cat like a PRO! I will definitely be back in and my cat seems pretty happy with them as well!
Thanks again Sparky’s!

This was our second visit and we will continue to come once a month on Wednesday mornings!
We’ve never had to wait they take him right away and it takes an hour and a half to two hours. I’ve always been very happy with the results and my pup always leaves smelling amazing and looking so beautiful.
They have an instinct and do a good length with his fur.

I took the second shift dogsitting for a friend who’s out of town for a month. Needless to say, Kobe & Sasha were filthy little guys when I picked them up. I called Sparky’s at 8:30am on a Sunday, dropped them off at 9:00am — and they were clean as a whistle by 10:30am!
Thanks for helping me out in a pinch — we are all so much happier now!

Sufficed to say, my pup has never received such a high quality groom in his 2.5 years! The staff were professional and service was prompt. I made an appt and the pup was done within 2 hours.
My Samoyed had a number of matted areas that the staff perfectly worked through, restoring his coat to a puppy sheen. I am very pleased with Sparky’s grooming and I will absolutely be bringing my pup back next time he needs grooming!

The only reason I got a Unilocal account was to write a review for Sparky’s! They are AMAZING!!! If you don’t want to read the rest, read this: THE MOST AWESOME HAIRCUT MY CAT JOEY HAS EVER HAD!!! And at a very good price!
My Joey, a long haired domestic, was in desperate need of a haircut before Sunday. Well no worries because I called Sparky’s on Friday and they scheduled him the very next day!!! Absolutely no other groomers have done that before! When I got there to drop off Joey, I saw tons of pictures of smiling pets on the wall and a returning client’s dogs were greeted by their names! THEY ARE SO NICE!! Paperwork was super convenient too. When I picked him up, they even helped me load him into the car!
But the best part… Joey looked FABULOUS. He looked fresh, clean, CUTE, even younger! They did SUCH a good job! I told them he just needs a full cut, as much as you can, and they totally did that! They made his face adorably round, a very nice even shave for his body, bathed, nails clipped, and of course that poof for his tail! They even gave him a bandana so he looked extra handsome!
For as long as I’ll live in LA, Joey will ONLY come here. And if I move back to my hometown of San Diego, I would still make the trip up! YES they are THAT good! Thank you Sparky’s, you guys ROCK!

My precious Angels look beautiful! I have a toy poodle and Pomeranian and they look so flipping cute every time. Staff is nice, and only takes 2 – 3 hours. No complaints! Have taken my babies a few times and will not go anywhere else!

This place is very good, but attitude of the owner often seems to be unhappy. Parking is a bit of a challenge and they close at 4pm which makes it hard to pick up your pooch if you work. On the other hand, the baths was wonderful and the prices GREAT. If I was open till 6, I would give them 5 stars.

One month to the day and my pup’s hair is still not ok. They cut his neck hair so short it has barely grown back. I can’t believe what a terrible job they did with my little boy :(

Bubbles was happy after his bath and haircut. The groomers were friendly and super nice. I felt really welcomed as a first-​timer to this shop. The visit was well worth it and would come back again. Thanks Joy!!!

I am a dog transporter. I’ve taken many dogs to Sparky’s and they always, always come away beautiful. I take the credit when I deliver the dogs back to their owner (sorry Patrick!).
Patrick is wonderful to work with and goes above and beyond to take care of his clients, both human and canine.

I take my little Pup to Sparky’s. They are so professional and loving. Perfect!

I took my girls to Sparky’s this Sunday, for the works. They both needed a bath, a hair cut, their nails trimmed, etc. Sparky’s did a wonderful job. Both of my girls look and feel gorgeous! I am really happy with the results! This place stands up to its reviews.
Also, I spoke to the groomer beforehand. She was very helpful and she agreed to work on my dogs even though she was close to being fully booked. She also gave suggestions for a different and more flattering hair cut on one of my dogs, for the next time around.
I will probably return to Sparky’s, notwithstanding that it is a bit of a drive from where I live and work. I am located in downtown Los Angeles. Sparky’s is located in Brentwood. I went to Sparky’s this weekend because the place where I normally take my dogs for grooming was booked up.
The only reason I did not give Sparky’s a five star review is because it is a little difficult to park in that part of town. They don’t have a parking lot. I was able to find metered parking in front of the salon. I needed help getting my dogs in and out of my car. A man who works there did help me with that. But, he initially did not want to. I had to insist upon it. I think this person should have been more understanding about my need for help, particularly since I was parked just outside of the salon, and since it was raining outside. It is hard to get two dogs safely strapped into a car while on a busy street with a lot of traffic.
Other than the parking situation, I liked this salon in all other respects.

One of my favorite places to get my Chihuahua groomed. They are priced and they go over and beyond standards of grooming to make you and dog happy. They are also very considerate to one’s schedule, eg they don’t promise times they can’t keep and they tend to have a short wait period.
I also love that they include a bandana each time your dog is groomed!

You know how hard it is to find groomers on the west side who’ll take cats? VERY HARD. I get it; some cats freak out at the sight of shampoo and will show their apprehension with a salvo of scratches and bites. And anyway, cats are supposed to groom themselves, right? Well yeah, but my big ol’ Maine Coon has trouble reaching all his parts and needs a little extra TLC to look his best. Plus, the fur balls… yech.
So I was beyond stoked to discover that Sparky’s on Wilshire offers a full range of services for the superior, albeit more finicky species of house pet. And the prices were quite reasonable to boot. My big boy got a bath, brush and trim for his naughty bits and came back looking 5 years younger (and 10 pounds lighter). Was he happy? Well, no… he’s still a cat. But I’m sure he’ll come around once he realizes how much more cuddly he is now that he’s soft as a baby’s belly and no longer stinks of cat butt and litter.
Sparky’s exceeded all expectations with their friendly, professional service, reasonable prices, and lack of trepidation at the sight of a feline. Strongly recommended for all manner of fur-​kid.

Here’s how it goes pretty much every time I call Sparky’s. Me: «I’d like to make an appointment to get my dog groomed.» Them:“When?” Me: «Um…now?» Them: «Sure!»
It’s not that I hadn’t noticed my little fur ball turning into a walking, overgrown bush, but there’s always a moment when she needs to be groomed, and it needs to be NOW. So thank you, Sparky’s, for always being accommodating. Oh, and i always ask for Karina. She’s been cutting my pup’s hair for years now, and is consistently fantastic. Today, my dog is almost unrecognizable, sporting a little polka-​dotted bandana and strutting down the street without a hair in her eye!
