After several years of changing groomers due to turnover at various places, an acquaintance recommended Angela at PETCO. I have taken my pooch to her for two years now and am completely satisfied with the results. My dog is not a fan of being groomed but is much calmer having a familiar, kind person do his groom.

We've brought our pup here for years. We always get the service we request and it's prompt and well done. Our pup is not the easiest dog (anxiety - yep a doodle), but Kendra is always patient and manages to get him in and out speedily, thus reducing the amount of time he needs to be there for his pampering. And…

Angela is the only groomer my wife will allow to groom our dog Bailey. She remembers the length and style of fur we like. She is pleasant to talk to and doesn't mind answering questions. We always ask for the "entire works". I assume "the entire works" includes all the dog items listed below. I have Parkinson's and…

All the groomers at this PETCO are polite and care about the pets. They are on time, accurate communicating and a smile on their faces. I have two standard poodles and trust they are treated well during their grooming.
