K-9 Country Club

We have been to four other groomers since moving to PS in June 2015. We finally found a groomer who knows how to work with a Golden Retriever. Both of our Boys came out looking even more handsome than when they went in. The Club has been in business in its current location for 30 years. As mentioned in other reviews, the décor is not like a bright shiny penny, but your dog will look like one when you retrieve him/​her. The price was comparable to the other groomers we tried. The value of service exceeded what we paid. Our neighbors referred us to K-​9, I think you should go there, too.

I am writing an update because I feel the need to address some of the negative reviews that referred to this place as loud, chaotic and messy. I have tried every groomer within a 20 mile radius of this place including many of the local veterinarians. Some of them on the surface appear tidier than this place, but what I judge the experience on is how my dog is acting after the grooming. I repeat, this is the only groomer that I have ever taken my very persnickety, snappy Dachshund to where she returns happy. The reason it appears chaotic is that they let the waiting dogs roam free so that they can be petted and taken on walks. What groomer does this? The dogs here have a blast. I’ve walked in many times and found them either petting my dog or carrying her around. They know every single dog that comes here, what the dog’s personal preferences are and have their own nicknames for them. My dog’s name is Baguette, but she knows that they call her «Baggy». Yes, when they answer the phone, as some of you have stated, it always sounds hectic and the person answering the phone can be curt, I’m used to it, that is because they are super super busy and popular and don’t have a dedicated person answering the phone. They’re usually in the middle of clipping a dog when the phone rings. It doesn’t mean that they are hectic when they groom your dog. They take extra special care to make sure that each and every dog is treated to a special experience.
No it’s not fancy and it’s a tiny place, but I can’t recommend K-​9 country club highly enough.

I think it needs a little clean up, but otherwise ok

we took our dog to be bathed at k-​9 was meet be a young man (think his name was jim) he informed me what he was going to do and it was DONE on time and our dog looked grate when we picked her up I was happy to find out that (Jim) has been bathing Dogs for over 12 years
Grate Job

Despite the recent loss of the Owner it is still the best! One day you wake up to find out the life of some one you depended on suddenly and unexpectedly ended. You go numb, feel sad, wonder why, what you could have done to prevent it, and pick up the pieces and go on. Fortunately that is exactly what the family and staff of K-​9 did and I am able to continue to rely on having my pups enjoy the care they have come to rely on without noticing the loss of the person who worked so hard for so many years. Somehow we make it work as she would have done. Time may not be always be kind but we remember the bright smile and great laughs we enjoyed so often. I am so happy to be able to enjoy taking my pups for the great services they always offer. Thanks so much!

We’re only in PS 1 month a year and it’s always our doodles best haircut! More importantly they remember her and doesn’t hate going!

I have been taking my two schnauzers there for nearly 2 years. I had tried most local groomers from VCA, Petsmart, as well as private groomers, with poor results. I regretted taking my babies to these places after seeing how they looked. I took a chance on K-​9 Country Club and couldn’t be happier. They do charge more but the dogs look like they are ready for the red carpet after each grooming. I know it appears hectic at the salon but the groomers are caring and thoughtful. I have to make an appointment about two weeks ahead of time but it is worth the wait. As a bonus the owner noticed one of the dogs licking the other dogs eye one time and sure enough the dog had an eye infection that I had not noticed. They care for our dogs as if they were their own. They do take care of a lot of older dogs as well. They know the dogs by name each time. I don’t know where the one star reviews come from. It’s not the Ritz but it is the best grooming business in the area by far.

After reading great reviews for this place, I decided to call and see if I could bring my dog in to get his nails clipped. The lady I talked to seemed out of breath and very short with me. I tried to explain how he had been traumatized the last time at another place because they were rough with him and that they had to muzzle him. Before I could explain that I didn’t mind the muzzle, but wanted to make sure he would be properly cared for, she told me (in a very cold tone) «If you’re that worried about him being traumatized, just take him to the vet and he can be gassed.»
What?! What person who works with animals says that?! Just lost a potential customer. My search for a decent groomer in this valley continues…

If I could give this place a zero, I would.
I stopped in this morning as my dog needed a bath and clip. The groomer I have been using for the past year wasn’t available and the dog was overdue.
A loud, disorganized mess of an establishment. The place didn’t look like it had been cleaned in months. Dogs were roaming loose behind the counter, except for the owner’s two dogs that were literally tethered to the wall by a chain. The haggard woman owner explained that those were her dogs, who she had to keep restrained because the charged the gate when people came into the store. No thanks. No way I was going to leave my dog in that place.
The top reviews that this business has earned from other customers is amazing to me. Scary, more than amazing.

Just came to the area. $ 15 for anal gland expression for my dog and they got nothing (never had that happen at a groomers before). At the top fancy places in LA they only charge $ 10. I won’t bring my dog back for anything else, but look for better pricing.

THE BEST – bar none! We have been taking our dogs for the last 10 or so years and have nothing but accolades for them – the staff is kind and considerate and does an amazing job – we currently have two large golden retrievers and they treat them with gentleness and kindness… would not think of going anywhere else!

Just an FYI to all you doggie lovers. The correct spelling of this groomer is K-​9 Country Club. When you drive up to the place, that’s what the sign says. It’s a little misleading if you are looking for «Canine» Country Club. It’s a 5-​star, love-​your-​doggie kind of place! My Sophie likes them a lot! (That’s Julius in the picture but he doesn’t like anyone!)

So, here it is nearly 3 years following my original review. These folks remain absolutely fantastic. Our guy just returned from his grooming session and looks just incredible. The team is about as friendly as you can imagine, their attention to detail and attentiveness in follow-​up is unique and our dog loves going there.
I’d originally given them a «4 star» only because the shop itself is not «fancy» the way some of the other places here are. I realized, though, that our «puppy» doesn’t know «fancy» and it’s really all about the love, service and skill. Canine Country Club really is a 5 star!

I’m very particular where I take my Bichon Frise to be groomed. I usually drive out to LA where I’ve found someone who grooms Aiden exactly the way I like. I was referred to Canine Country Club by a customer of mine and seeing how well-​groomed their dog was, I figured I’d give it a try.
The location is hidden behind Del Taco on Tahquitz. I love the fact that all dogs are not kept in cages and can play with each other. I was so pleased with how Aiden looked when I picked him up. I found my new groomers in Palm Springs.

What a great experience. I recently took my dog Murphy to another groomer about 6 weeks ago and I ended up paying nearly 200 dollars at her vet due to careless grooming around her private area. Muphy’s experience at the Canine Country Club was amazing. The ladies that run the salon were professional, extremely kind to the dogs. Murphy was walked, given treats, and was shown lots of attention. As well as receiving a excellent haircut. I was so please with the service from start to finish. I will defiantly be a loyal customer and refer everyone I know to the Canine Country Club.

The gals and staff here are superb… patient, loving and professional with my very old dogs. My dogs are Bichons = high maintenance hair. Finnigan is 13 and easy peasy to bath, blow dry and cut, but my old gal Casey is 16, 100% deaf and very fragile now. Plus because she is now deaf, when she gets confused or tired she has a breakdown which most groomers will not tolerate…
They treat her with kid gloves and respect her advanced years. In fact they have allowed me to pitch in and «help» when she needed some mama’s care to get her thru a grooming session…
Their compassion and caring for all the dogs in their care, especially mine, as well as the fabulous job they’ve done with both my pooches is 2^nd to none!!!
I cannot recommend or thank them enough for all they do for my dogs…

Leo the Ridgeback mutt says: After my top quality bath and nail clipping service at this friendly place, my human companions enjoyed their vacation stay at Casa Cody even more than when my odor reminded them of the previous day’s run in the rain. K-​9 Country Club was comfortable, prompt, obviously the choice spot for local cute dogs. An all around great value.
