Petite Tail Dog Grooming

I have been here about 5 times so far for my doggy and all times have been great. The grooming services are very good. My dogs nails are trimmed well, his body is clean and he smells good. They offer a variety of treatments and they are very professional.

I can without a doubt tell you Satomi is the BEST groomer we have ever had in our 30 years of using dog groomers. Caring, kind and gentle nature. My baby LOVES to go! We’ve tried MANY (10+) groomers in the South Bay and am sooooo happy to have found Petite Tail. Love the fact that our furbaby is in and out. Never ‘hanging’ around waiting to be groomed.

Still coming here with the first dog and with a new long hair chihuahua. Whose face hair doesn’t grow but body hair gets super long. Other places (when I’m in a rush and this place is booked many weekends in advance) will cut all around her and leave the face. So it’s very choppy. But this groomer lady at petite tails will transition the hair through the neck to make it look clean.
Why pay elsewhere when a little more will get you that perfect look? You will not regret coming here that’s for sure. And my dogs don’t come out scared for their lives from here.

I’ve been taking my shih tzu, Lupe Green, to Satomi for the last 5 or 6 years now. She used to be the groomer at Centinela and then opened up her own business and from the looks of it, she’s doing great! Lu always comes back smelling fresh, looking cute, and never injured (which has happened at a few other places that I’ve brought her to, though I don’t blame them really since Lu is so fidgety). She’s patient and though sometimes she does take longer than expected, it’s because she’s trying to get my little Lu’s hair to be perfect without stressing her out. Lu hates getting baths and getting her hair cut, but hey, me too sometimes. So if you have a dog and want him or her to look absolutely adorable and not be a stress case when you get him or her back, take them to Satomi. But make sure to make an appointment. I like weekends, and I have to make the appointments TWO MONTHS in advance! That’s how you know she’s good. That’s even more advance notice than I need for my own haircut…

I wanted to give this place 5 stars! But I can’t lie … I’m disappointed. From the moment I steeped in the shop the lady at the front desk was just plain rude, I said Hi and she said Hi, does your dog have fleas?, Ehhh … I don’t think so? she is on flea control. (But nice way to break the ice) so then she said ok it’s flea season so I need to know if she has fleas because if she does there is an extra charge for flea shampoo .
I said ok … then she made me fill the Information/​contact sheet, she also said that since my dog was big the price was probably going to be more than what she said over the phone when i told her i had a Husky, I told her i live around the corner and i was happy i found them i asked her if she was the owner and she said No and pointed at another lady that was giving a cute doggie a beautiful hair cut, the other lady smiled said Hi! and seemed very sweet. So i got told by the employee to come back in 3 hrs and I left .
After 15 min of me dropping my dog I got a call from the employee saying that My dog had knots and that there was an extra charge of $ 10 for that. I said ok. After the 3 hours I went and got my dog, first thing she said was that my dog had diarrhea and then she said ‘soft stools I mean’, I said how come? And she said, well the dog pooped right here (by the front desk) I was in total shock my dog has never done that! I said I’m sorry about that, Then she said, also she doesn’t like the water, it was very hard to give her a bath :-(Are you kidding me !!! Really ?! My sweet dog has been to a few places for baths and even some mobile groomers and they have never said anything like that! I told her my dog loved the water, she runs through the sprinklers in the backyard all the time so I had not idea what she was talking about ! After all that I ended up paying almost double of what other places normally charge me. My dog didn’t smell of anything nice when I got her, didn’t have a bandana or anything cute on her and she was extremely thirsty when we got home (3min away from the shop) and her ears are still dirty. I don’t understand all the positive reviews ! I guess everybody else has little dogs and they do a better job on those cute little ones but my dog was treated so bad. Service was so rude, that lady at the front is rough around the edges. I will keep looking around I would not recommend this place to anybody at all.

I’ve been coming to Sue for the past 4 or so years. She used to work in San Pedro. Unfortunately for me she opened her own business. Now I drive 1 hour round trip just to have my dogs groomed. Fortunately for you you’ve found the best dog groomer around. Just take a look at her pictures which is opened for viewing. My dogs Casper and Wendy, both Bichons love her. I have come in many times when both dogs are out of cages waiting for my return happily investigating. From the top of their heads to the tip of their nails is perfect each and every time!!! Check out her ribbons!
I shouldn’t leave this review because when she was in San Pedro I was always approached and asked where I had my dogs groomed. After a while you had to book your appointments in advance.
You can tell she loves the dogs she grooms.

Wow! Our dog has never smelled so good after being bathed here. We were very happy with how friendly the staff was and how good our dog looked. We will definitely be back!

«A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE»
I’ve been looking for a dog groomer for the past few days and after reading several reviews on Unilocal, I decided to go with «PETITE TAIL» dog grooming. Even though they only had a few reviews, they were all of a 5 star rating, which was enough for me. I have a 20 year old Pomeranian and I’ve been doing the bathing and trimming at home for the past 3 years. My dog has a heart condition and I didn’t want to stress him out. However, his hair has grown out so fast in the past months that I knew It was time to take him to a professional in order to have the bath and cut right. Upon my return, I couldn’t believe my eyes. My baby looked so good… like a lil Teddy Bear. Everything from the length — to the — nails was PERFECT! My dog and I are so happy that we finally found a groomer who listened and cares. Thanks PETITE TAIL!!! We’ll see you in a few months.

If you are really picky about your dog grooming, this is the place. Pink Pucci? not even close to this place…

This little place is awesome! Satomi knows how to care and cut dogs and the staff is so caring of dogs and customers! Cozy and clean atmosphere.
The price is a bit of high end but it is totally worth it!
They provide superior care for dogs.
