You know those rare finds in the Bay Area where you walk in and somehow it doesn’t feel like the Bay Area at all? It feels like a little small-town business where people actually know you, care about you, and are just genuinely good people? That’s this place.

Reviews
I’ve been taking my pup to Empuppyporium for a few years now, and I can’t recommend them enough.
The owners are incredibly caring and treat every dog like part of the pack. My dog always comes home looking great with a fresh, clean cut. If you’re looking for groomers who genuinely love the dogs they work with, this is the place!
This is a great local gem - we’ve been taking our two large doodles here for years and their hair is not the easiest to groom. Drop off is generally in the morning and pick up in the later afternoon. Our dogs always come back refreshed and happy.
