I’m so happy I found this place so close to home. I called to see if they would shave my dogs paw so I can see if she had a foxtail in it and they accommodated me that day even having a full schedule, so I made an appointment for my other doodle to come in the next morning and they were so great, even just hearing how they spoke to pepper made me happy. She did a great job on the grooming, i needed a shave down and teddy bear face and it was perfect! Price is so reasonable compared to other places I’ve gone to. Super happy to now be a customer, I’m a big fan! I do wish it was in a safer area, but i can deal with that for the service I get!
I asked these people for the bathroom and they refused, they said no, they couldn't lend it to me and I told them that I had to go to the bathroom because I took a heart medicine that made me urinate and they didn't care, they told me no, that they couldn't lend their bathroom to just anyone, apart from that I have friends who have gone with their dogs to wash them and they say that they don't do a good job, they say that they are expensive, they are carreros and they don't do the work that they say they have to do, be careful with this place, it's not trustworthy, they are not people that you can recommend to other people, the work that I do is very bad, I personally have not had anything to do with them but I have friends who have gone and complained about this place, they say that it's useless, that it's better to go to Tijuana to take the dogs than to take them here to these people, with how clear the cashiers are and the bad work that they do, incredible, but these, these are the people that we have here in Riverside, if they don't serve to clean the animals or the dogs then what can you expect from a person like that, that's my humble writing of the cases.
Kristie clipped our kitties nails in no time. She (Kristie) was great. Thanks we had the Kitty paw nails clip again today. This place rocks! Thanks for the services offered.
This place is amazing, they where able to accomodate my dog on a shortnotice and they did a great job, Fair prices and my dog looks and smells amazing! Great job with the deshedding and the nail clipping. Will return again1
Very happy with Pody’s experience there. He looked great and they were very kind and courteous. Very efficient I would certainly recommend them to others.
great place to take your dogs for a bath. i use the self service wash tub - great value !! team is super friendly
Loved taking all my pups here! First Round took my terrier and two mini schnauzer. They came home looking like new dogs! The girls here do great work. The best part was seeing how calm my dogs were when I got back to pick them up. They have my business moving forward.
Stephanie, the lady that grooms both of our dogs (Charlie and Chaplin), is one of the kindest people in the world and one excellent groomer! Our family (pups included) would be lost without her! C & C are both getting up there in age (Charlie's nearly 16 yrs old) and are both Cairn Terrier mixes, one Lhasa and one Shih Tsu. Both the kind that can turn into fuzzballs within 6-8 weeks. They both also have skin conditions and cysts that can sometimes break and cause terrible matting of their fur, requiring extra attention and care from a groomer. This is why we feel so lucky to have Stephanie! She's the most patient, kind and careful groomer we ever met. She's reasonably priced, but still goes the extra mile! If you have dogs that need special care and extra attention for certain things, this is THE groomer you want! Makes sure to tip this lady big! She deserves every cent! We've been 100% satisfied every time and just love her! Thank you. Stephanie!
We’re exhausted but dang, we look good! Thank you Lots O Love Pet Wash! We had a great experience today. We feel great and our parents love the exceptional job you did and the service we all got. We’ll be back! Until next time-xo-Elly, Tizzy and Hazel
Great place! Staff is very friendly and love dogs! They groomed my Chow Chow and transformed into a beautiful queen! After a year without a good bath and good grooming my baby was horrible but they really take care and expended more than 8 hours on my Chow. 8 hours! Believe me, No one have that devotion at work, other people told me they want shave my girl and they said no! They know how take care of a Chow Chow and there's counted people on the grooming industry who knows exactly what to do with a Chow. I love this people and extremely recomend you take your doggie to this spot, I'm sure you gonna be extremely happy like me. Este es un gran lugar para que lleves a tu perrito. Son gente profesional y que entregada a su labor. Nadie como estas personas, dedicaron 8 horas para salvar el pelaje de mi Chow Chow y eso casi nadie lo hace. Todas las peluquerías de Riverside querían rasurarlo menos estas bellas personas. Te aseguro que quedarás feliz con su trabajo, te lo garantizo!

Call to BookFrequently Asked Questions About Cat Grooming
What should I expect during a professional cat grooming session?
A typical professional cat grooming session usually begins with a consultation to discuss your cat's needs. The groomer will then examine your cat's coat and skin condition before proceeding with services like brushing to remove loose fur, bathing with cat-specific shampoo, blow-drying, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and any specialized haircuts if needed. Most sessions take between 1-2 hours depending on your cat's coat condition and temperament.
How should I prepare my cat for a grooming appointment?
To prepare your cat for grooming, brush them at home a few days before to remove loose fur and minor tangles. Keep your cat in a secure carrier for transportation. Arrive a few minutes early to complete paperwork and allow your cat time to adjust to the new environment. Bring information about your cat's health, temperament, and any areas they're sensitive about. For anxious cats, consider withholding food for 2-3 hours before the appointment to reduce the risk of stress-related nausea.
Why is professional cat grooming important?
Professional cat grooming is important for several reasons: it reduces shedding and hairballs, prevents painful matting, allows early detection of skin issues or parasites, keeps your cat's coat healthy and shiny, reduces dander (helpful for allergy sufferers), and maintains proper hygiene. Professional groomers have specialized tools, products, and techniques to safely handle cats, even those with behavioral challenges. Regular grooming also helps cats become more comfortable with handling, which is beneficial for veterinary visits.
How often should my cat be professionally groomed?
The frequency of professional grooming depends on your cat's coat type, length, and lifestyle. Long-haired breeds like Persians typically need grooming every 4-6 weeks to prevent matting. Medium-haired cats may need grooming every 6-8 weeks, while short-haired cats might only need professional attention every 8-12 weeks or during seasonal shedding periods. Cats with special conditions like obesity or arthritis that prevent self-grooming may need more frequent appointments. Your groomer can recommend an appropriate schedule based on your cat's specific needs.
What's the difference between cat and dog grooming?
Cat grooming differs significantly from dog grooming. Cats have more sensitive skin, requiring gentler handling and cat-specific products. Their grooming sessions are typically shorter to minimize stress. Cats often need specialized restraint techniques and quieter environments. Cat groomers use different tools designed for feline coats and are trained to recognize signs of stress unique to cats. Cat-only grooming facilities eliminate the anxiety many cats experience around dogs, creating a more comfortable experience for your feline friend.
