Poochie’s Dog & Cat Grooming

I took my puppy for the 3^rd time here and this time wasn’t that happy because she was bleeding from one of her nails, and she was terrified going inside before dropping her off. Think I’ll start looking for another place. Or do it myself.

Have been to this groomer for a long time. They do a really good job on the haircut. But usually takes a long time. One thing I don’t like is they want us to drop off the pets earlier and they don’t work on them immediately and put them in the cage for a while. I would personally prefer to drop off my pets when they have time for them. It’s sad they suddenly increase the price on loyal customers.

I have been coming here for a few times now. Even though initially, price was my main concerned but now I trust them with what they do with the price they charge. I can get a $ 15/​-​cost bathing my little poodle mixed elsewhere but the price they charge is well matched with the best work they did on my dog. With a smell from a skunk sprayed on him and his curly hair, he came out clean and fluffy with hairs trimmed around his butt and face. Eyes cleaned and looked sharp! Superb job! Thank you Karen n Milton! P. O

Love coming here! They are nice and professional!!! They are good to my dog! He is 100 times hyper and 100 times as fussy as any dog but they still do good work!!! They are not shady like other places. And charge me extra because my dog is fussy. Love this place! I’ll always come back here!

We prefer Poochies! We take both of our girls there and they actually like it…

We took our dog Shaggy to them for the first time today and we couldn’t be happier. Shaggy is a rescue dog and is afraid of his own shadow, so I was worried. But he came back looking better than expected. He even looked like he was smiling! The people there were very friendly and pleasant. I think we finally found our groomer!

I brought my dog Kobe here when I lived with my parents in Monterey Park. Now that I moved to Mid-​Wilshire La, I still choose to make the drive to take my dog here. It is owned by an older Japanese couple who are super sweet! They always do such a great job with Kobe. He looks a little awkward with super short hair since he’s half poodle, but Poochies always makes him look handsome. It’s $ 50 per grooming session (wash, haircut, nails, the whole shabang). I usually tip $ 5.

I love this place!
Bailey had very long hair and she looks great now! The customer service is great as well

I took my 12 year old cockopoo which was super matted and was full of spurs to this groomer and was charged $ 65 because of all the work that she needed done. I was so happy with the haircut and the time it took for the service to be completed which was under 3 hours. Even tipped the groomer $ 10. I decided to take my Maltese terrier in the next week thinking it would be less expensive for her since she wasn’t even close to being as matted as the cockopoo. When we took her in, we asked if we could get an idea of what they would charge for her, they answered that it would be between $ 45-​$ 65. I reminded them about the cockopoo scenario and they said they couldn’t tell me how much because they needed to do the work before they could tell me. This time the service took longer and when I called to see if she was ready to be picked up, I asked what the price would be and the lady said $ 65. I asked her why and she didnt have a very clear answer but just kept saying its $ 65. I am dissatisfied with their lack of price consistency. Don’t think I will be returning to this location

I’ve been bringing my dog here for about two years now but today I was a bit concerned. I left her at 10 and she’s still not done. I called and they said 20 minutes. I asked do u give them water. NO. Do u give them food. NO. Then why have her there for 5 hrs. Schedule like u do a dr. It’s not fair. He (the owners husband) says she’s ok. I said. Ok. Don’t eat for 6 hours. Not cool just because their dogs. It’s close and convenient. My bad. Never again. And he was rude. The lady is nice but does not substantiate their wrong doing.

Excellent service! Milton and Karen are wonderful! We leave in Covina and I’ll make the trip!

They no longer do cats. Very disappointed since a good cat groomer is hard to find. Receptionist could have been more friendly and professional over the phone.

Irritated about the price. The owner gave me a ball park price but then charged over what she originally said. I’m going back to my original groomer in Highland Park who charges me $ 30 less. Get a set price before you leave if you do decide to go here. They also kept him for 6 hours and didn’t give him water.

I’ve been to a few places and this is the best by far. My dogs are treated with respect. They are clean and smell good. Another place I’ve gone to my dogs came back with knicks and toe nails bleeding. My dogs do not fight about going back and getting groomed there they love Karen.

Make an appointment! We are lucky that we still have caring quality professionals like these still practicing their craft. Gentle handling of your precious pet and reasonably priced too! My cat looks wonderful… thank you!

I’ve brought my dog (who is TERRIFIED of baths) to several different groomers in the past and she’ll come home shaking for days from the trauma. At Poochie’s, however, she comes home happy, cute and clean– which is of great comfort to me.
The owner here is super nice and doesn’t give me any attitude when I bring my dog in covered in mats. I’ve gotten scolded before from other groomers for letting my dog’s hair get so bad… but her hair is so fine that the second I even notice her mats, it’s game over. Nothing I can do to stop it. Okay, that’s just an excuse I use. I’m really bad at bringing her to the groomers regularly. Sigh.
Always call beforehand to make an appointment. Last time, they were able to take my dog right away which was nice! I know some places are sopo busy they take your dog and then keep him/​her all day locked up waiting for their turn. Poochie’s won’t do that. They waste no time and work efficiently with great attention to detail. Definitely a fan of this establishment and I hope I have the same experience when I return sometime next week with a severely tangled mess of a dog. Also, prices are reasonable~~ totally worth it for the care they give your pup!

On the pricier side, they take their time, but definitely worth it. My doggie came out so cute :)

Poochie’s is the best. Karen is great with my dog Stitch, who hates having baths, having her paws touched, getting her nails cut, and having her eye boogers cleaned. Stitch always comes home happy and beautiful after a trip to Poochie’s. Sometimes she even gets a holiday bow and today she got an awesome christmas gift of stuffies! So sweet. Also, they are great if you know what you want too, like «not too much off the top!» or «i really like her tail poofy!» I always bring Stitch here and no where else. Her first non-​home bath and cut was ALMOST at Petco, but whatever they did to her in that room was not cool because she came out cowering and she had peed herself! Awful, I will never submit her to that again. Poochie’s for life!

(Please read my review of Petco at Lakeshore Shopping Center, San Francisco, CA, in order to see the stark contrast in experience.)
If I lived in the area, I would take my dog to Poochie’s more often, but unfortunately, we can only take him about twice a year. Whenever I pick up my dog, he is always so cleanly shaven, as I request the shortest cut possible – again, because of how rarely he gets his fur professionally cut – and he smells so great. I think my dog’s hair gets too short now, but he used to get a little ribbon in his hair, which was absolutely darling. My dog’s wash and cut cost $ 55, so maybe the prices vary according to size and how much hair is cut?
The people at Poochie’s are incredibly thorough, even cleaning out and trimming inside his floppy ears. The workers and owners are also very friendly. I’m glad to have switched over to his family-​owned business.

Poochie’s did not disappoint. I called in late Friday, and I got an appointment for the next morning. First time here, and they took care of my Yorkie. My Yorkie got haircut, wash, nail trimmed, and ears cleaned for $ 45. It took about less than 3 hours. The business was a clean environment, it did not smell bad at all. (I also went to «hi doggie» before, their place smells like urine, and they always seemed to be over-​booked.) Everyone at Poochie’s was professional and polite. I’ll be returning with my dog.
