Pet Groomers near Berkeley

“My very floofy Pyrenees had the most want wonderful spa and deshed with Jared! She was oh so bright, soft, and most importantly, smelled amazing and wasn’t shedding. Thank you so much Jared and the Healthy Spot crew!“

“If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Having Tefani & So take care of my dog has turned out to be the best decision I made when I moved to San Francisco this summer. They are truly an excellent, caring, trustworthy, and thoughtful team, and I cannot sing their praises enough. They have been taking amazing care of my husky-labrador mix, Evie, all summer, and I am so glad that when I'm swamped with work, there is Tefani & So to hop in and care for her.

Thank you to Watson, Ricardo, Stina, Tyler, Daniel, and all of the folks making Tefani such a safe place for dogs. As an anxious pet parent, I am so glad I found such a trustworthy team. The team at Tefani is extremely friendly, communicative, and always happy to help with special dietary or medical needs that Evie might have. They are very knowledgeable, with a low staff-to-dog ratio; I knew Evie would be getting plenty of individualized attention every time she was with them.

The facilities at Tefani are clean and well-maintained, with multiple doors that ensure safety. Scheduling and convenience-wise, the Tefani team has been SO accommodating anytime I was running a few minutes late, and even accepting Evie for boarding when I had a few emergency scheduling conflicts that meant she had to stay late. They are the most understanding partners to work with, and have made my life as a working pet parent so easy.

Every day, Evie gets dropped off at Tefani between the hours of 8-9am, and goes to the dog park with the team for more than an hour. Then, they give her lunch that I provide and take her out for a potty break. I usually add the afternoon drop-off shuttle, and Evie gets dropped back at my apartment every day so I don't have to worry about missing the 5-6pm pick-up window. Shoutout to Tyler, who runs the shuttle!! He is super communicative about when he'll be dropping Evie back off and always provides an ETA and a picture of her safely at home.

Boarding Evie with Tefani has also been a dream. Shoutout to Ricardo for taking the most amazing care of Evie when I have to be out of town! I boarded her for a few weeks during the summer, and I always felt so safe because I knew Ricardo was taking excellent care of her. Once, Evie got an eye infection during boarding while I was traveling abroad, and Ricardo was so considerate and thoughtful. He took her to the vet, FaceTimed me from the clinic, answered all of my questions about her healing, and provided tons of updates that really quelled my anxiety. Otherwise, he always sends adorable daily pictures of their adventures and gives her lots of cuddles when she asks for them. Evie loves Ricardo so much that she now paws at the door whenever she sees him coming to greet her at daycare. She'll jump on him, give him kisses, and make happy cries -- something she only does with the people she loves the most.

I once saw the Tefani team in action when Evie and I were at the park at the same time as them. They truly love the dogs they work with, and know each dog's name by heart. They give each dog nonstop attention and genuinely care about every single one.

Most importantly, the Tefani team has given such care to Evie that she is now a transformed dog in terms of her confidence. As a former stray, Evie was very shy and reserved around groups of other dogs. However, since going to Tefani, she has grown immensely in confidence and socialization skills. She is now unafraid of new dogs at the park and will even initiate play with others. This transformation of my previously shy girl becoming a confident, happier doggo has made working with Tefani more than worth it.

Thank you, Tefani & So, for being the best doggy daycare I could've asked for in SF. Evie loves you all!“

“First time visiting the Empuppyporium after being recommended by other doodle parents at the park and reading all the reviews. Scheduling, drop-off, and pickup were all clear and easy. I didn’t go inside to see the facilities as the staff came out to get the dogs that arrived in the parking lot, which may help the other pups there be more relaxed. My dog is not used to going to a groomer so initially she was reluctant to go in but they managed to do a great job on her — even cut, attention to detail, super clean and fresh — and gave her a sweet bandana for Halloween. It’s unclear if their policy is to not ask for tip on the payment screen or if it’s included (always good to clarify if you’re concerned), but I thought what I paid was very fair. Hope they keep up the good work. I would take my dog back again and recommend this place to other fur parents.“

“Nicholas really cares for his clientele. I have no hesitation to leave my beloved dog with him. She loves going there for her bath and nails.“

“Rachel is the best. After dropping off my dog she texted that she found fleas and would be giving her a flea bath., I asked if I could bring my other (big dog) and get her done also. She fit me in. I was so grateful. She genuinely cares about the dogs and her customers.“

“OMG the BEST mucky pup EVER. She is so kind and thoughtful of my tiny baby pup. Heather is just the best from top to bottom. She is our favorite and I wish I go to her every week because she is just the BEST. Go see here whenever you have the chance!“

“Our pup got his haircut with Cindy. She is amazing. He usually gets a little anxious but he lets her do his paws and hair cut without any trouble. She sent me a message with updates. I would totally recommend her and we'll be back. Thank you so much!“

“Excellent job grooming. I love how they cut my dogs face into a teddy bear shape and rounded out his little paws. However I would love more transparency on pricing and communication is very minimal. I left my first appointment with lots of questions at drop off. They are in need of an updated website ?“

“10/10 recommend! L&J are so professional and wonderful to work with. We have a sheepadoodle and like to keep his hair shorter with even length all around for his comfort and to avoid matting. We got exactly the style that we requested!“

“Thank you for the fast service! I highly recommend this place if you need your cat's nail trimmed. They are fast and highly skilled. They are amazing!“

“We came here for the annual vaccination shots. Staff was super friendly and accommodating to my big dog, would highly recommend this place to others.“

“Good customer service. Actually I was running late and still got seen and got our on a timely matter. And it was full of patience. I recommend any pet lover.“
