Best dog groomer ever and a wonderful person. Truly loves dog and what she does. Unfortunately I think she fell ill and couldn’t work. Hoping for a speedy recovery and sending her our thoughts and prayers.
Dropped my pet with no explanation given after going there for 5 years.
I called to make an appointment and she said come on in right away. It only took about 5 minutes to do the nails and clean the ears. Very attentive The people are very pleasant and the prices are extremely reasonable. I would recommend this place anytime. I went a second time and they took me an hour after I called I had made the appointment and I was taking right. away. This time the nails were done and the hair on the paws with trimmed and got an anal cleansing. My dog was so happy and I was happy with the service. I would recommend them anytime. I went again this is about the sixth time I went to yuko's to get my dog grooming done. She is top-notch she does the anal cleansing nails ear cleaning and bathing for $50. You can't beat that and she is so pleasant and does such a thorough and nice job. Everybody should bring their pets here to get it done.
Best dog groomer ever! We have followed her for years. She is kind, conscientious and gentle with the dogs. Our dogs originally were not fans of being groomed, but now they look forward to being groomed because of Yuko.<br>The dog’s always look amazing. She is fast, professional, and thorough. Highly recommend!
We take our shiba inu Ruby to get her nails trims here and they always treat her with love and care. We love bringing her here!
We love taking our pups here for a quick nail trim. They are super nice and professional. Keep our dogs calm, treat them like the top-notch groomers they are!
Yuko is the best! She’s been servicing my family since I was about 8 or 9 years old. I’m now 33 with my own fur babies and she’s still the best hands down! Poppy & Roxy always leave looking flawless. Aside from her amazing work, her kindness and patience is out of this world.
We have been so lucky to have Yuko and her team care for our dogs for almost 20 years. In 2006, we learns about Yuko’s incredible talent when we got our bichon, Max. Max loved going to for his spa day every other week, and we knew he was well cared for while there. Dogs have their own little beds and aren’t caged. The dogs are happy, and the atmosphere is always joyful. People would stop us and literally ask, “Did Yuko groom him?” When we moved to the East Coast, we were never able to find someone to take Yuko’s place. When we moved back to SD and got our Old English Sheepdog, we called Yuko straight away. Remy loves Yuko and her team as much as Max did. His cuts are “shear” perfection. Yuko has a special touch, and we couldn’t recommend her services more highly.
I found Yuko’s Dog Grooming about two years ago when I first moved to San Diego and needed someone to trim the nails of my elderly Miniature Pinscher, Flash (18 years old). He’s a super anxious little guy, so I was really nervous about finding someone gentle and trustworthy. I randomly came across Yuko’s on Google and I’m so glad I did! They’ve been so kind and patient with Flash ever since that first visit and always make him feel safe and comfortable. I’ve never had a single issue and it’s clear they truly care about the dogs they work with. I’m moving soon and honestly don’t know what I’ll do without them—I should’ve written this review a long time ago! If you’re looking for a groomer who will treat your dog with real love and care, go to Yuko’s. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!
Yuko is the absolute best. We've been using her for all of our dogs for 25 years now.
