A Canine Castle

Very grateful to have found Bill from a canine castle 17 years ago for my dogs. He has always been very caring, warm and friendly to our dogs. Other groomers had difficulty with our little shih tzu 17 years ago because she was afraid to get groomed. She melted in his arms and was content from the start. Our other two dogs always greeted him cheerfully and he always returned their sweetness. The dogs bonded with him from the start. Our little Shih Tzu crossed the rainbow bridge a few days ago. I’m glad that her life was filled with so much kindness and care. Among the people I want to thank is Bill of A Canine Castle. Many thanks to Bill and all of the staff at A Canine Castle for your excellent care and service!

Only $ 10 for clipping and filing! I’ve brought my dog here about 2 times. The man that’s in the front and usually grooming the dogs is very sweet to my dog. She’s always scared and shaking, but he tries to calm her down and takes his time to trim her nails so that he doesn’t hurt her. Usually other locations will only clip the nails and be done, but he will also file it so they’re smooth. Not 5 stars though cause even with the filing it’s still a bit rough. As long as it’s decent pricing and my dog’s being comforted, I’d keep coming back!

Really enjoy taking my dogs here for baths. Very nice owner and friendly staff. Prices are fair and my dogs are happy and clean when I pick them up.

I love this place. My dogs always come home with clean hair cuts. I schedule at least two weeks out because their schedule is always full. I wouldn’t trust my dogs to another groomer. This place rocks!

Bill and Nina are awesome! I’ve been going to Canine Castle for over 10yrs. They consistently give a great hair cut and more importantly I never have to worry when my dogs are in their care. When my dog became seriously ill Bill was always so gentle with him and concerned about his needs, I appreciated that so much! I see him give the same loving care to all animals.

We moved to Redondo Beach about a month ago and the pups are in dire need of a good peticure (yep I just did that).
Found A Canine Castle on Unilocal!and we decided to give em a try.
Bill was so warm and gentle with the girls.
We will be back to A Canine Castle for the girls’ grooming needs

Recently got my very first doggie, a skittish rescue. Took her in today for her first grooming (since we became her parents) and my experience was excellent. I made my appt. with Bill yesterday, he was very thorough on the phone in setting up my appt. and when we came in today, he was extremely kind, patient and gave good pointers on making it a great experience for all. End result? A clean, happy doggie and a very happy customer!

Wow this place is awesome!!! I took my dogs there to get their nails trimmed and the owner was amazing with all of them as well as me. I came back the next weekend to get my dog a hair cut and he gave her the best cut she has ever had in her 11 years… And their prices are great! I just loved how well he was towards my dogs. They also don’t cage your little one up which I loved!!!

I’ve been taking my three dogs (a Sheltie, a Yorkie and a Brussels Griffon) to Canine Castle for the last 8 or 9 years. They have consistently done a terrific job on all the dogs. Each breed requires a very different clip and they all come out looking great! I’ve used other groomers in the past and been disappointed with them. In the past I stopped using a different groomer because my dog was so resistant to going in. That has never been a problem with Canine Castle, the dogs not only don’t mind going in they pull at their leashes getting through the door. Bill (and his wife Nina when she was still working a couple of years ago) are both great people and obviously love our dogs. I’m so grateful we found them.

Bill and Nina at A Canine Castle treat me and my dog like visiting royalty.
My dog Cocoanut is an emotionally-​fragile rescued Maltipoo. He doesn’t hesitate to snarl and bite when he is even slightly displeased. Grooming him deserves combat pay. Other groomers have given up on him — but Bill has a special way with him.
Many people compliment Cocoanut on his beautiful coat, even weeks after his grooming. I always recommend «The Castle».
«The Castle» is a second-​generation family business which has survived and thrived. As a small business owner I know how hard it is to do that in spite of life’s ups and downs. I live right around the corner from the shop, and I am glad I can patronize a local business.

I have been a loyal customer for over 8 years.

I have been going to Canine Castle for 2 ½ years every two weeks and I love Bill and his wonderful wife — they are so nice and my dog loves them. Bill takes extra care with my dog as he has a lot of abandonment issues and Bill does not put him in a cage. He loves Bill. Always does a great job!!! Love you all. I would never switch to another groomer as my dog is a happy dog at Canine Castle!

Love this place. They are so friendly and laid back. And they do a great job grooming my terrier mix.

I love Bill and Nina, and I know they and their staff do a fantastic job for my two dogs — because whenever I bring my dogs there, they walk in happily and without hesitation. With the last groomer I used, my other dog would do anything to avoid going in (and he was otherwise friendly and obedient).
When their son is in the shop, he is pleasant and well-​behaved. totally not an issue.
My dogs come home clean, fluffy and handsome with nicely trimmed nails. I wouldn’t take them anywhere else!

I really like Bill, but his wife the lead groomer is rude, non-​social, and never helpful. First off, the place always smells like urine. I do not know why they do not clean it daily. I have noticed young men that look like ‘troubled youth’ working there, they seem to wash the dogs for the groomer. I do not feel comfortable seeing them take my dog behind the wall. They just don’t seem like pet people, more like they are there for required community service.
The lead groomer, always has ear buds in her ears listening to music. When you walk in you stand at the counter and she does not acknowledge you, mind you other than her young son no one is in that area. I have in vain tried to ask questions, but she keeps the ear buds in.
The last straw for me was when I had been taking my dog there for years, and to their prior location. I came in with my dog, and the groomer could not find her card therefore she argued with me that my dog had never been there. Heck, Bill knows me and my dog by name, but his anti-​social wife has never cared to learn my name or my dogs name in 8 years. If Bill did the grooming, I will still go as he as a great animal nature.
Regarding my dog, the last few times I took my 40lb dog there, he came home lethargic. Not only that but for the next few days he limped, each time I took him to our vet. I don’t know if they let him jump out of the bathtub or what, but he never limps any other time.
I think they are always booked because they are convenient for so many people in neighborhood. Two of my neighbors went there on my recommendation only to tell me they take their dogs elsewhere now. One takes her pooches about 7 miles away, and the other to a salon in Hermosa Beach. They also felt the lead groomer doesn’t have a way with animals, but it is just a money making job.
Finally, the facility is set up with area fenced off for their young son. He sits not to far from the grooming table, and their is a TV mounted on the wall. I have seen the lead groomer, his mother, walk away from a dog on the grooming table to attend to her son’s needs. Kind of scary in my eyes.
I give it two stars because Bill is a very nice man, and he is very tuned into the animals that come to the shop. Too bad he is not there all the time.

Walked in for nail trim and anal express. Bill was kind and gentle to Hugo. Great place!

I have known Bill for about 15 yrs now and all i can say is «What an Amazing Human Being». I have taken my cats and dogs to him since then and we love his passion he has for what he does. He’s such a loving and caring person with all the animals and you can see that the moment he interacts with them and how they respond.
Again Great job and i would highly recommend him to everyone.

I am now bringing my third Springer Spaniel here. Each has had a different personality; the latest is ‘challenging’. Yet In Bill’s hands, my dog melts and instantly obeys. More important, Bill and his staff always groom my dogs so well.

Roxee is the love of my life and she is expertly groomed by the wonderful staff at Canine Castle. They do an amazing job EVERY time. Roxee looks great afterwards. They know how to be kind to animals and they are so reasonably priced. Two thumbs up

I’ve been bring my pup here for over a year and will never look back!
First, they do an excellent job. My dog comes outta there shining! We’ve had issues in the past with our pup having dry eyes after visiting groomers. Not anymore! We haven’t had any problems since bring him here. Second, they accommodate me every time I call to drop my dog off that same or next day. Super convenient. They even know my dog by first and last name as soon as I call. Third, the price is reasonable ($ 35 for a bath). And finally (and most important), my dog actually likes this place and doesn’t seem traumatized when I drop/​pick him up. Now THAT is impressive:)
One important note: bring cash or check. This place doesn’t accept credit cards.

I had a seriously horrible flea infestation a few months ago, and finally had to make an appointment to get my place treated, which meant I had to take the cats somewhere for the day.
In comes Canine Castle! I called around to a bunch of places in the South Bay, trying to find somewhere that did flea baths for cats. Canine Castle informed me that they did, and I brought my two cats plus my dad’s cat in early on a Saturday morning. So that’s THREE cats that were plagued with fleas in need of flea baths and grooming. It was $ 45/​cat, and Canine Castle was kind enough to hold onto all the cats until well into the afternoon when it was safe for me to bring them back home. The cats smelled great, their fur was soft and luxurious, and the best part was they were flealess!!! And have been since then. The owner was super friendly and chatty too, it’s made me want to take my cats there for grooming every now and then just because of the great service and how clean and soft the cats were!
