El Camino Pet Grooming

I took my little Milo to his first groomers yesterday and chose El Camino Pet Grooming and I am happy I did! When we walked in, the front desk assistant was so loving and kind to him as the whole staff was I’m sure! I felt comfortable leaving him there since it was his first time being left alone with strangers. When we picked him up he looked so happy! I loved the bandana they gave him as well! What made me surprised was the price of the service! Good prices for great services. (Also does depend on the dog size.) Definitely gonna make this my go-​to groomers!

I Love this groomer they take such great care of my dog we been going here almost 4 years and my Girl Christmas Loves geting her nails done here she is so happy they never hurt her or make her Bleed like others places we have went they are friendly and care about your pets and have all kind of services they do Cats toooo so go check them out and no I am not a family member to any one there we just realy like the caring and service

Iv’e been taking Little Miss here for 5 years and still LOVE this place and the wonderful groomers there. They truly love what they do and take such great care of your fur babies. Thank you El Camino Pet for years of amazing service. cheers to many more!

Love this place!!! Ever since moving down to OC last year I have been taking my maltipoo once a month for his cut. They do an excellent job!!! Are extremely nice to your pet and the price is great! $ 60 :)

I have used this groomer twice. Their prices are very reasonable, the quality of work is top notch and the people that work there are over-​the-​top friendly. You can’t go wrong with them.

I called the day before Easter and they gave me an appointment for the same day!
I don’t know of any other place that would do that.
The owner is very sweet, very professional and my Sophia looks so much better and they even put a little Easter bandana on her!
We’ll be back !

Have been going to El Camino Pet Grooming for years. I trust them with all my dogs and cats. The prices are good, sometimes maybe run a special discount for so many animal visits, :)
Always get a warm hello from everyone there .
Thank you!

Love this place! They always have an appointment available, staff are so nice and friendly, they do an amazing job with my Chloe, she always looks amazing, I recommend this place to everyone!

We bring the dogs here for a bath (no haircut) all the time. Been coming here for a few years now. I am so bad at making an appointment but every time I call on a SATURDAY, they always squeeze them in for me. That’s awesome. the dogs always come back super clean and shiny

I went to this place three times. The first time, they did really great job. I was very happy with their job. The second time, they forgot to file the nails and didn’t follow the hairstyle that I requested. This third time, hair was uneven, nails are not filed, hair style was not something I requested, and my dog had a scar on his face. Their quality is getting worse and worse. I don’t feel safe bringing in my dog anymore. Will not use them again, sad.
–update
My original post is still original and unedited. Since my opinion of my personal experience post was made, I received a strange message on Unilocal from a woman that was trying to correct my post regarding my dog’s «scar». So I will clarify that my dog has a cut next to his eye that was bleeding, and was bleeding on and off for the next few days. Now it is dried blood. The person also quoted the owner with the statement «all pets are quality controlled and checked and signed off by another employee to ensure quality» which if is true, a few people messed up on my grooming requests during my 2^nd and 3^rd trips to this store. We don’t want to be harassed by other Unilocal people defending el Camino pet grooming, but we just wanted to write our real personal experience. And for sure after getting that strange message, we will never go back to el Camino pet grooming. That Unilocal message was very scary and I felt threatened by that random Unilocal person. Their message was the final straw for us to just not want to deal with el Camino pet grooming. We love our dog and we care for him like family. We don’t want to put him in the hands of the store we question their quality of grooming, unsure if they listened to our requests, the safety of our dog and even their Unilocal followers. I am entitled to my own opinion regarding my personal experiences, this is America, this is the Internet, and Unilocal is a review site by all customers reviewing good or bad experiences. I don’t want to be harassed by strange Unilocal people. So whoever reads this, just try them if you want to take your pet there, but I will not go back there again.

Took our Lily in today for grooming. This was our second visit. They did a horrible job. They said they would clip her face, feet and bottom to fix her up. Well, her face looks lope sided. Her bottom looks untouched. There was no scarf. It looks like an amature, no pride in their work. I would be better off going to Petsmart. I won’t be back!

Excellent place to get your pets groomed. My poor girl had a potty accident and I needed her groomed that day. Not only did they work her into their schedule, but their price was extremely affordable, they called when she was ready and she looked better than ever. I highly recommend this facility to anyone who wants their pets looking their very best.

This place is clean, very customer oriented and very helpful staff. The owner is very caring about each and every dog or cat that comes in and the groomers are very nice and the dogs come out clean and on point. Nails are smooth and ears are clean. Not to mention the beautiful job they do on hair cuts/​scissor cuts.

Experience:
This place is extremely friendly and provides wonderful customer service. I called today asking if they had any appointments available; they were not sure if someone would cancel, but would call me back if there was an opening. It was very reassuring that they would go the extra mile in calling me back for an open appointment rather than me calling them back. The staff is very professional and asked me questions on how I would like my dog to be groomed (this was my first time having a dog to groom so I came in with no expectations). I just them whatever would make him look good as long as he remained his «teddy bear» self. I dropped off my dog and within 3 hours I received a call back with literally a brand new dog.
Pricing:
The cost is very reasonable, I paid $ 50 for my terrier-​mixed dog (17 lbs) plus tip. The grooming included a bath, cut, anal press, basically everything you receive from Petsmart /​Petco and a free flee bath. I was very satisfied with the price and my dog smells so fresh. If you’re wondering, a bath without the haircut is just $ 35.
Overall:
This is my first dog grooming experience, so I have no other dog groomer to compare it to; however, I am extremely satisfied with the experience. You should definitely give it a try. I will post a picture of my dog’s before and after photo for reference.

I’ve been taking my long hair cat here for a few years now. Every time they have been kind, organized, and excellent at what they do. If she has matting they get them out without accidentally cutting her. If she needs a hair cut she comes out looking amazing. I even took my short hair there. Both my cats come back happy, pleased and relaxed with their grooming day. I’ll be coming here for many years to come.

We love this business. My dog Wally hates having his nails trimmed, but for some reason he trusts them to clip and dremmel his nails. He’s a bit of a nervous dog, but he excitedly goes in to the grooming shop and is happy when I pick him up. I foster dogs for a rescue and they’ve groomed a couple of snappy dogs for us without a problem. For some reason they just have the magic touch! There is also a groomer there who grooms cats! The shop is always clean and pleasant. I would highly recommend El Camino Pet Grooming to others (and I have!).

I’ve been coming here for several years for my small Maltese. They do a great job and always takes care of my dog. Their price is reasonable, only $ 10 more than national pet store. I like to support the local owners that’s runs a good place.

I wanted to take a few minutes and share my very happy experience with El Camino Pet Grooming. My Lucky has not had the best groomers since I rescued him about 2 years ago. He came out so happy and excited it was almost like he is a whole new dog! Strutting his stuff now! Thanks so much for take such good care of my baby!

We’ve been regulars to El Camino Pet Grooming for 9 years. My husband used El Camino when he was a kid, thus that’s how I heard about them. Otherwise I would not drive 30 minutes each way to get my golden groomed. We frequent the location every 9 weeks alternating between a bath and a haircut. They consistently do a great job. We’re willing to pay more for top notch quality. We have tried other places closer to our house and they never turn out as good as El Camino.

Even though this place didn’t get many reviews, I decided to take a gamble and I won!
After calling around several Irvine grooming places (including The Spaw and The Doggie Spa), I found this place to be most reasonably priced. They charge a flat $ 45 fee for shampoo/​conditioning, haircut, nail trim, ear cleaning, and teeth maintenance. So grateful they don’t have confusing packages and special add-​ons that just hike up the prices like other dog grooming places. You always know what you’re going to get here.
When I walked in, I was welcomed by a really friendly woman and I was immediately drawn to the warm atmosphere and cleanliness of the place. This place is hard to see from the street, but its located in the same plaza as Black Sheep Bistro in Old Town Tustin. You kind of have to walk around the corner a bit to find it.
I dropped my two maltipoos off at 8:45am and they were done by noon! When I came to pick them up they looked as happy as can be with their tails wagging and tongues hanging… and the cute little bandannas they had around their necks added a special, personal touch.
I think I’ve found my go-​to groomers in the Irvine area — Thanks El Camino Pet Grooming! I’m one happy customer.
