Woof Dog Boutique

Took my Shar-​Pei Wrapper here a month ago for a cleaning. Not only did they manage to get the «shar-​pei smell» that I had unsuccessfully tried to rid him of to go away, he also came out happy and excited which has not been my experience at some other groomers.

I’ve had my dog groomed here countless times — he’s not a fan of bathing so I thought it was worth paying to have him at least bathed in warm water as opposed to using the hose in the yard.
He’s a big boy, a German Shepard Rottweiler mix. Sweetest dog ever, but big. Today the employee couldn’t get his collar back on so I went in the back to put it on him so I could take him home and to my horror he was in one of the cages they have back there.
Poor puppy! He already hates bathing and this probably hasn’t been helping I wish I knew they shoved him into a tiny cage (that I would say would maybe just be big enough for a spaniel? Nothing bigger) he couldn’t sit up straight, couldn’t lay down, couldn’t turn around. Literally shoved in there.
So horrible I liked supporting a local business who 80% of the time did a nice job grooming but I will NEVER go back here with any of my dogs. It’s disgusting that they even thought it was okay to put him in there.

Found Daisys favorite dog food here– Stella & Chewy’s dinner patties– and a cute seahorse cookie! Wish they had more cookies but it’s Monday so they must have sold out during the weekend. Will come back to try more goodies!

I really want to love this store because they do have good products. At the end of the day that is what counts, but I’m not very impressed by the sales associates, and their knowledge of the different products. I just don’t see the people that work there as animal lovers. Usually at different pet stores sales associates are giving dogs treats, and showing some love. I don’t feel that there.
I’m temporarily living in Atwater but once I move, I will not shop here again. I am glad they do have my dogs food, and thank you for that!

This is my new go to grooming for my dog! Finally found a good place and it’s not too far from my home. All other places my dog comes back with fleas and always itching. But Nope not here! And the price is really not bad. I used to pay 10 dollars more at other places Definitely going to be a returning customer. Highly recommended.

I thought about giving these ladies 1 star, but since my cat doesn’t appear traumatized, I’ll bump it up to two. But $ 60 for a cat bath and nail clip!?! You people should be wearing masks and carrying six guns, cuz that’s highway robbery! Even the vet, notorious for high prices, only charges $ 27!
I really wanted to like you guys, but I feel completely taken.

We get both our dogs groomed here and we love it plus it’s affordable. I like to support smaller, local establishments, especially this one. Everyone is so helpful. They have unique items that other stores don’t have.

I wanted to love this little cutesy dog boutique, I really did. sadly after how they treated my sweet dog, i cannot. a friend of mine brings her sweet little pit bull here to get her nails done and they always look amazing. smooth, short, and shes always so happy when she comes out. and for $ 15, i can get down with supporting local business (i work in the neighborhood).
so i bring my sweet senior pit bull in all ready with his bag of treats to make his trimming go quickly. (hes so food motivated, you could get him to do just about anything for a treat). I attempt to hand the bag to the groomer who shakes her head no and turns away with my dog towards the back. after a few minutes she comes out and asks if I can help her hold him still while she clips. seems odd, but no problem. although he is senior, hes still strong so i walk to the back with her, wondering why she hasn’t tried to treats i brought. she opens the door and i see why my dog is anxious. 2 dogs are whining loudly in cages mere feet from him and hes got a giant muzzle on his mouth. OH. game over, cause i’m done at that point. i thank her and un-​hook my dog. i then ask if she always muzzles dogs when clipping their nails or is it just because hes a pitbull. her face gets red and she just looks down. i offered to pay but the sweet cashier wouldn’t allow it.
at the end of the day i just want to know why a groomer wouldn’t take the owners suggestion and just give the dog treats to make the clipping easier. you would think as professionals that they wouldn’t be biased against pits, but then again you can find ignorant people anywhere. i am sorry my rescued dog had his ears clipped too short and that his chest is so broad that he looks «scary», but come on, this is the industry you’re in, you should know better.
what a shame.

Bought a birthday care here for my little fur baby’s birthday. I was disappointed that they no longer carried the real looking cakes in some of the Unilocal photos with the creamy frosting, but maybe that’s just the human in me.
I got one of the bundt like mini cakes, which as some other reviewers have mentioned is hard like hardened peanut butter not very cake like, but they decorate it well so it looks cute enough in photos. It is a little pricey, $ 15, for the size but it was the closest place to my work to pick up. Besides the dog seemed to like the cake just fine, they can eat things a lot harder.
Also the employees in the shop were super nice and they gave me some free dog food samples just because and tied my cake up in a pretty little bag. Good customer service!

Came all the way from North Hollywood to purchase a birthday cake for my dog, after reading the reviews about their amazing bakery. Purchased a pink cake with happy birthday writing on it for $ 9.99. When asking the attendant about the ingredients, he was only able to give a very vague description («it’s gluten-​free and made with yogurt and some rice stuff»). He did say that even humans could eat it! When presenting my dog with her birthday surprise, we noticed that the cake was rockhard and when turning it over, we noticed that the bottom of the cake had something that seemed like spiderwebs and a spider nest cocoon with some kind of larvi crawling around! Upon taking a closer look we saw the maggots coming out of the cake!!! How disgusting! Of course we couldn’t let my dog eat that maggot infested cake and her birthday surprise was ruined! I will NEVER buy anything here again!

Great Doggie service. I found them on Unilocal.I was looking for a place that had doggie cakes. Price was reasonable. Friendly service and the owner came out to welcome me to his boutique. When I told him it was my dog’s birthday he game me a few sojos dog food. Surely will return, two PAWS up.

Came here as my little guy turned 5. Wanted a cake but didn’t want to spend more than a human cake costs like most doggy shops.
Called ahead and they told me they had a small one with «happy» birthday” on it for $ 9.99. Very nice lady and very nice store.
They have some nice things including harnesses, toys and treats. However I found a bow tie at the 99 cents only store for a buck where as Woof had them (albeit much nicer) for $ 15…
For special occasions I’d gladly return. The dogs loved the cake. Literally «woofed» it down.

I brought my American Eskimo here 2 times.
The first time they only did a trim, in which, they did an average job at. They didn’t cut the nails and they didn’t trim the excess hair on her legs or paws, only around her private areas.
The 2^nd time I came here I asked for a hair cut in which I wanted them NOT to share her and preserve the length of her hair. When I went to pick her up she was completely shaved. I will not be coming back her for a hair cut. A groomer should 1) listen to the pets owner when a request is made and 2) know that they should not be shaving certain breeds because it ruins their coat.

This place is really cute when shopping for your dogs but I don’t really like the grooming. I went In a couple months ago and I met with the owner and she was beyond nice! I was confident my pup was in good hands. After I got my dog, she was happy to see me and seemed perfectly fine. Once it was time to sleep, my poor dog was crying and whimpering ALLLLLL NIGHT!!! she did that for 4 days straight! I have no clue why or what it was. I checked her for any cuts or razor burns, but there wasn’t anything. I think she just had a rough time there. I never took her back there to get groomed but have gone back for doggy supplies.

Nice cute store in Atwater Village with potential if only they pay attention to detail when grooming animals.
Well, like another person (see comments below) we went to this place after reading all the positive Unilocal reviews and doing a personal ‘reconnaissance’ during a May heat wave. We have a beautiful Maltese puppy with long straight hair who was very uncomfortable.
Our first impression of the store was positive. It is clean, organized, stocked with lots of cute merchandise, and has friendly staff. We inquired about prices and services — all of which were very reasonable.
They made us complete in detail a form of what we wanted so the dog groomer can look at it when we dropped of our puppy (in addition to us explaining that day what we wanted). To us, it seemed like a foul-​proof system to get things done right without any issues.
The day of our appointment I met the dog groomer and explained again what I wanted (in addition to the form that we completed the previous day). I told them to give out puppy a short-​haircut and to leave the tail long as well as ears, and the hair on top of her head so I can put three hair clips on her since she is a girl. I even showed the clips to the dog groomer.
I was so excited to pick-​up our puppy in a couple of hours later, but when I returned our puppy did not look anything like I had requested. Instead, she looked like a ‘squirrel’!! Well, maybe I exaggerated but she did remind me of a Pokemon considering all the hair on her ears were trimmed and the hair on top of her head was gone. Like AWOL.
I was left holding my three hair clips in disgust and shock.
in general, I was not going to say anything — not even through social media — but I am still given lip by my partner; and I need to vent and share my story which I understand is not an unusual occurrence at this store. I really, really wanted it to work since we live in the area & the store is cute [just go to Darla’s on Los Feliz], but they can’t follow directions — just like Super Cuts (that’s why I don’t go there and will not come here anymore).

I brought my cat in for a lion cut on May 3^rd in the middle of the recent heat wave. She has very long hair and I have been getting her shaved once or twice a year for the past 8 years at various pet groomers in Brooklyn and San Francisco. She is a gentle cat but does not like to be held. This has never been a real problem and for many years she has enjoyed having her thick fur shaved and cut during the hot summer months.
When I picked her up from Woof and brought her home I could sense something was wrong. She was meowing and crying and did not want me to touch her. She paced around the apartment and couldn’t get comfortable. She was breathing heavily and seemed very distressed. I had never seen her like this before. Later that evening upon inspection I noticed her entire back was shaved too close and she had razor burn. A few days later I noticed scabs and cuts the size of golf balls on her back legs, front legs, and a very disturbing large cut under her fur on her neck. I brought her to the vet who said she just needed to heal up but that it would take some time.
A week or so later I contacted Woof who refunded me the full amount of the lion cut in cash no questions asked. I know that the people here who make a living grooming cats and dogs must love animals and can’t imagine they intended to hurt my cat. I hope in the future they can manage to be more careful with the animals, less aggressive, and try not to book too many if they are busy. They should also make sure the razor is on the correct setting so as not to shave too close to the skin. I was very disappointed and sad to see my little cat so upset and injured. Plus it cost me a trip to the vet. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this place especially to cat owners.
UPDATE: 1 month after my cat was razor burned and cut at Woof she has bloody scabs all over her body and will need a second trip to the vet. She was cut on her neck and it has still not healed. I will never take my cat to be groomed ever again. This experience was too horrible for my cat. I’m very very sad. Please look at the pictures of what happened to her here. It’s inexcusable!

I have called twice asking for the owner or manager to call me back regarding this concern of mine.
The groomer called me and offered to fix my dogs haircut, which was absolutely not the problem. The problem is that my dog’s skin was cut and irritated in places he should not have been groomed. How is another hair cut going to fix that? He had a bald patch and a cut in a very sensitive area. Please, please, explain to me how another hair cut fixes a week’s worth of treating irritated skin?
Still no word from the manager.

I love this little boutique and I’m so glad I found it through Unilocal!
Came here for a doggy cake and was pleasantly surprised at the cute doggy hats and cakes. The cake was $ 10 and the doggy hat for my pup was $ 8. I also purchased some wet dog food and when I was done, they threw in some extra goodies for my pup – at no extra charge! They were two packets of freeze dried turkey (just add warm water) and my pup LOVED em! This is such a cute little boutique, and I plan on returning!

I got my doggy’s bday cake here.
I felt the doggy bday cake was a bit overpriced compared to 3 doggy bakery. they didn’t have much doggy cakes and treats… all the bday cakes were ugly in my opinion. the cakes looked old and stale. the girl at the counter couldn’t tell me when it was made. And it really bothered me that she didn’t use tissue paper or plastic gloves to put the cake in the bag/​container. She was handling money and who knows what is on her hands and now they’re on my doggy’s cake. I know they’re not for human consumption, but i really didn’t like that… if you’re reading this, please wear something or use tissue paper when handling doggy treats.
My pooch enjoyed the cake very much… BUT I would MUCH prefer 3 doggy bakery.

Fine wine for dogs, what?
This place can be a little tricky to find. A small storefront located on a big busy street. Parking may be difficult if you come on busy days, but there are a few meters in front if you find yourself to be lucky.
It’s a decently small boutique so you might have to wiggle your way past other customers especially if they bring along their big canine friends. But they have all the basics: collars, leashes, clothes, food. What really caught my attention was the homemade doggie cakes they have in the back. In all shapes and colors, your puppy will go home such a happy camper. And did I mention fine wine? If that’s not love, I don’t know what is.
