Capital City Grooming & Supply

I have been using Capital City Grooming for the last 4 years and love them! Melinda is my personal groomer. She is so caring and patient with my animals. You can see the love she has for each and every pet. I would never use anyone else again. Thank you Melinda and Capital City Grooming. YOU ROCK!

I love these people! We had troubles with two other groomers locally through the years…
These people came highly recommended and we’ve been greatly satisfied since!
I think we’ve been going here with our «6» poodles for 2+ years!
Thank you Capital City Team!
The McClanahan Fam!

I took my long hair cat to get groomed here a little trim and a bath this place was recommended to me by a co-​worker since it is really close to my work. They had my cat for 7 hours I called every hour after a certain point because I was growing nervous that maybe she wasnt cooperating. When I called the last time she told me she was finished. I went to pick her up it was very informal she was already in her carrier that I brought with me not great customer service on their end but whatever. I get home and take her out and was mortified.
She looked chopped up it was so uneven at places and then worse of all she had a cut on her mouth. Look I understand that mistakes happen and I even understand that shes a cat and was probably afraid of the trimmers but tell me what happened dont let me just find out on my own. I will never go here again and I dont recommend anyone else to either.
And ontop of that she peed herself in her carrier which made herself stink like urine after I just spent $ 60 on getting her bathed. I have no idea how long they kept her in there until I called but you cant expect any animal to hold their urine for 7 hours.

Best grooming service, ever. Really outstanding service, nice people, reasonable prices, clean shop, hypoallergenic/​non scented shampoos. Couldn’t be better.

I took my pup here because of the high recommendations, but I was not impressed. They kept him for much longer than expected (over 6 hours) and when I picked him up he was distressed and really had to potty.
I thought the staff was sort of rude, when I dropped him off they kept turning away from me and talking among themselves. Then, when I picked him up, I got a lecture on how to work with my dog to get him used to being handled… a LONG lecture. I had made it clear that I have had dogs that need grooming for 20 years, so I didn’t need a lecture, and my pup lets me handle him in all the ways they said he needed work on. He has been to another groomer and came out happy, and even when he went to the vet to be neutered, the staff said he was so good and very easy to handle. But he was NOT happy at Capital City, and I felt the groomer was a bit hostile, and treated me like I didn’t know a thing about dogs (I am a former dog trainer).
In addition, I did not like that I could not see the grooming area or the kennels/​cages the dogs are kept in. Bottom line: tried them once, will never go back, and over the past 20 years I have been to about a dozen groomers in 7 different states. K-​9 Clubhouse did a better job at the same price, he was out in four hours, and he was having so much fun he didn’t want to leave! To me, that tells me a lot.

I used to get my little doggy groomed here and we never had any issues with the haircuts themselves as he always came home cuter than ever. The main issue I had was the fact that I would drop my pooch off at 7am, and he would not be ready to pick up until 3 or 4pm. Now I know for a fact it does not take that long to groom a dog, and I felt it was very unfair for my dog to be locked in a cage for hours and hours waiting to be groomed so I switched to a more expensive grooming service that actually comes to my house and does it out of her grooming vehicle.
I would still recommend this place as it is top notch, but personally I did not like the time my dog spent in a cage.

This place is really good. The shop smells clean and my dog comes home happy, smelling, and looking great. Their prices are good, maybe even a little bit lower than other places in the area.
I asked how much it might be to get my dog trimmed a little the next time and the groomer just took her in back and took off the frizzies while I was waiting. That’s a great business.

Brought our cockapoo here on a friend’s recommendation and we were happy with the results. They did a great job giving her a haircut to our requested specifications, and the price was incredibly reasonable. We’ll be back!

The groomers at Capital City Grooming & Supply are some of the most talented groomers in Olympia. They are friendly, courteous, and they are helpful with suggestions on how to give my black and tan cocker spaniel the best haircut. Tucker looks like a little rock star whenever I pick him up. Whenever we walk around Capitol Lake I am often asked who grooms him. Their prices are better than my previous groomer. They treat my little one with patience because he sometimes acts like little diva when he starts to get buzzed (aka urinating on the groomer table — oy vey).
Thank you Capital City Grooming — I love you guys!

We recently relocated to Olympia and finding a new groomer for our dog is always a worry. We have a Portuguese Water Dog who has had his share of bad haircuts over the last four years. We found this place after we spotted a labradoodle in a nearby park and asked the people with her where she was groomed. Our pup looks great, and the prices were very reasonable.

I cannot say enough great things about this place. I love it so much that I drive from Fox Island which is about 1.5 hrs one way. I have been using capitol city grooming for over 10 years to groom my dogs and the dogs that I have rescued when I worked with Western Washington Poodle Rescue.
The ladies that work here are expert groomers and can handle anything and I have brought them some serious challenges over the years. They are always kind and compassionate with even the most fearful dog who may not want a spa day. I have taken matted dogs, old dogs, mean dogs, young dogs, stray dogs, blind dogs and once a dog so matted and dirty I could not tell if it was a male or a female.
These ladies all have hearts of gold and over the years they have gone out of their way many times to help dogs in need. They truly care about the dogs they are working with and it shows. Melinda manages to make my old weak standard poodle girl look amazing despite her not being able to stand for more than a brief time on the table. I don’t know how they manage it but my two white standard boys always go in looking a a shade of beige from dirt that I can’t wash out and they come out looking and smelling like show dogs.
They never use sedatives or hang a dryer on a a cage door. I feel very comfortable taking any dog to them, knowing that they are careful with the old, sick, fragile and weak dogs. Finally, their equipment is clean! (and I am an intensive care nurse so I’m picky) and their prices are very reasonable.
