Kathy’s Pet Salon

AMAZING! The pups love love love going to Miss Kathy’s. Kathy and her staff are loving and caring about all of the pups. They come back happy and well groomed. The place is clean and smells wonderful. It was the perfect place for my two Coton’s since we arrived from MD. Awesome. Amazing! And no I wasn’t paid to write this review. ;-)!

I can’t say enough about the staff and quality of care and grooming I receive at Kathy’s. Tino gets so excited every time I drop him off! Kathy treats every dog like they are one her own. I have been coming here for years and I highly recommend this experienced, talented, and loving groomer!

I absolutely love this place.
They are very professional, easy to get ahold of and you definitely get what you paid for!
So far my poodle mutt fur baby has been here twice and he has come out looking amazing!
All the dogs seem to be really happy and playful every time I’ve seen any in there
They understand my dog is a little nervous, but somehow they manage to keep him relaxed enough to trim his nails!!! It’s freaking awesome. The only downside is sometimes a takes a while to get an appointment.
Regardless I will definitely stay loyal with this place and recommend it to everyone.
Keep up the good work!

$ 5 nail trimming! That’s so great! Plus, the service is always fast and friendly. You can tell the people who work here love animals and care for them greatly. Fantastic place.

I tried Kathy’s for the first time because they are close by and we have not been a great fan of the «bring a van to your house» groomers. I like that they spend the time to get to know each dog. The cut was great, exactly what we asked for and very thorough. There is no kennel so your dog gets to play with others. Our dog is afraid of kennels and afraid of other dogs, but when we went to pick her up she had a new best friend and was having a great time. I’m so glad that we tried Kathy’s out and I will certainly use them again.

Oliver and Maizie, who is a little temperamental, are regular customers at Kathy’s Pet Salon. Kathy is a whiz at handling Maizie and not just because she behaves better after I leave. I like that the dogs can roam around the shop before and after their grooming. I like the reasonable prices. Congratulations on a successful first year!

I couldn’t be more grateful for Kathy and her staff. My parents just took in a sick relative’s dog temporarily, and the poor dog (a Dandie Dinmont Terrier I’m told), was a shaggy, matted, smelly mess. Kathy was able to fit him in on the same day and the results are astounding! He looks 5 years younger the sweet old guy, and I’m sure, with this heat, he’s feeling better as well. And apparently he had fleas and Kathy was able to treat him for that also. He’s now much less anxious and settling into his new foster home nicely. Thank you so much for your kindness, friendly manner and professionalism. Highly recommend!

We have had the pleasure and great fortune to have Kathy taking beautiful care of our dogs for many years now. Kathy’s new salon is fantastic and everyone who works with Kathy is really nice.
Recently when we brought our 2 ½ year old in, who was a bit anxious, Kathy knew exactly how to help him relax and gain confidence. She sat right down and played ball with him much to his delight. We also introduced Kathy to our 7 month old puppy, who is very wiggly. Kathy is GREAT with puppies too. Kathy was so thoughtful and conscientious that she, when concerned about a huge amount of hair removed from our puppies ear, took it next door and consulted with our vet to see if we should be concerned about infection. THANK YOU, for taking such great care of our Nico and Lily and us. By the way did I mention how great they look! :)

Took our dog for bath and sanitary grooming.
Whitney is so good with him and he had a nice time with the other dogs.
Whitney’s grooming was perfect, she also buffed his nails.
I can highly recommend this salon for bath and grooming.

Kathy and her team of groomers are awesome! They take great care and detail with your four legged family. I would definitely recommend taking your pet to their salon. They have so much knowledge and take the time to share it with you. I am blessed to have found them!

Kathy rocks as my Pomeranians stylist! She does a great job and she loves dogs. Her shop is very cute and clean! We feel spoiled by Kathy! Sometimes you just get lucky!

I was thrilled to find out Kathy who used to work for Postmore now has her own grooming business. I took my dog in for full grooming and she looks amazing! Best groomer in Marin!

Kathy and her team are awesome! My dog is blind so he is timid and hates water (having a bath) or getting his nails trimmed. They did a fantastic job! Even his little face got washed — I could never do that myself. I highly recommend them… going back soon.

I took my new rescue terrier mix into Kathy’s today & was very worried since my pup is a rescue I brought home 4days ago with some separation anxiety. He was very much in need of a wash, cut, nail trim, eyes cleaning etc. They we’re very accommodating to fit me into my same day apt and they we’re all very sweet. It was clear how happy the other dogs we’re there & how very unlike the typical pet shop groomers Kathy’s was. They called me 1 hour later & he was all set. They put a cute little green bandanna on him & he looks so much better! I’ll be a loyal customer ;)

First time there! Called to figure out prices and schedule an appointment & they said I could come in today! They did a great job with my pup Mike! They where so nice and my Mike was so happy after which gave me a great vibe!!!

My English Springer Spaniel has been groomed here twice. Both times, he came out looking like a champ. I especially appreciate that the dogs get to roam happily instead of being crated. Kathy and her staff are professional and dedicated to quality.

New to the neighborhood and was looking for a good and reasonable pet groomer for my two pet cats. One is a short-​haired Siamese and the other is a fluffy Persian mix. In the process of moving and traveling, the Persian’s fluffy fur became matted rasta-​like, Bob Marley would have been proud.
Kathy came highly recommended by the catsitter and nearby vet, so I gave a quick call. She was friendly, knowledgeable eventhough it seems that they do mostly dogs, and was available pretty immediately. Got a lion cut for the Persian with all the extra services at a very reasonable price, while Kathy advised for the Siamese to just get a nice major brush down. All for an unbelievable price. Would definitely recommend and become a repeat customer. Thank you!

We needed a new groomer for our shy dog so I called Kathy’s Pet Salon. Whitney booked our appointment — she was friendly and efficient. When dropping off the dog, I met Kathy. I could tell she was an animal lover and cared about our dog. He was ready in about 90 mins — he was shiny, happy and smelled great! I would definitely recommend this place for your dog grooming. We’ll be back for sure!

Just took Athena here for the first time today, and am very happy with the results! I chose this place based on all the excellent reviews that it had gotten.
First thing I noticed was the great communication. I called around a couple different places asking for prices, and this place not only was the first to return my call, but Kathy was also by far the friendliest person I had spoken to! (Also got a prompt email response.)
Second thing I like is that they let the dogs (the ones who get along well with others) run free in the salon! I love knowing that Athena won’t be closed up in a kennel… it’s almost like I’m getting free daycare along with the grooming :) It’s great! And rather than shaking and being scared, Athena seemed excited to be there, seeing all the other little dogs running around. When I picked her up, she was running around with all the other dogs and looked like she was having a great time. They said they also let her sit up on one of the extra chairs by the front desk, since she likes being around people. :)
Other things I like?
–They do everything, included in the grooming price; nails, clean ears, express glands. –Their price is very comparable to other places in Novato… if not cheaper!
–The front desk girls and Kathy were very friendly and sweet. Made me feel like I was leaving Athena in a great (and safe!) place.
–Very flexible and work with my schedule. I’m able to drop Athena off at lunch time, and then pick her up after work.
–They groomed her how I specified. She looks great :)
I will definitely be bringing Athena back here again! I was very impressed.

Kathy is the BEST groomer on the planet! She loves animals and they love her! This is really important to me because my fur babies are just that — my babies. Kathy is the only groomer who can shave my Ragdoll cat without stressing him out. She is super patient with him and even gave him breaks when he needed them.
Kathy has also groomed my mom’s dogs over the years. Mom describes Kathy as «Fabulous, The Best & Nobody Better» and she’s right. You WILL NOT be disappointed with Kathy’s incredible grooming and the kind, professional treatment of you and your animal. Worth every penny!
