I've been taking my cocker spaniel to Hollywood Hounds for grooming for 9 years. They always take great care of my baby and they're frienldy and personable. My dog and I always leave happy and with a beautiful haircut that she constantly gets compliments on. That's why I've been a loyal customer for 9 years. Thank you Hollywood Hounds for being the best groomers in LA!!!

Our dog was skittish from previous bad experiences, but our excellent vet, Dr. Patrick Mahaney at TLC Pet Hospital, recommended Hollywood Hounds. What a turnaround! She immediately responded well to David, the groomer, and from her first cut on, the results have been fabulous. She doesn't resist her appointments anymore, and is happy when she sees David. Whatever variations in cuts we ask for, we get. His work is artistic, professional, and best of all, he is kind and gentle with our dog. Each cut is beautiful, she is happy, and has completely lost her anxiety about grooming. The front desk manager is also lovely to deal with. Thank you David and Hollywood Hounds!

I don't know what that Sarita woman is thinking when she wrote that review but I've been going to Hollywood Hounds with all three of my dogs for about seven months now... and I have never received anything but exemplory service, friendly interactions from the booking of my appointments to the pickups of my dogs, and the grooming has always been top notch. Their groomer pays great attention to detail, and my babies all love him. In the past at other facilities, they've been a little reluctant to go get their baths and haircuts, but with the groomer at Hollywood Hounds, they actually seem excited to go! And they always come out looking like movie stars! I for one couldn't be happier with the service there at all points, and my dogs look amazing! Take it from a parent of three different breeds large and small... the groomer at Hollywood Hounds will treat your dogs like royalty! I won't send my babies to anyone else!! Whatever this guy pulls in just isn't enough for the work and care he delivers!!

I took my 11 lb. Shih Tzu to Hollywood Hounds based on decent reviews online. It was a regular bath and haircut visit...no matting, nothing unusual. In fact, upon dropping him off, I instructed them not to shave him and to simply cut him slightly shorter and bathe him. I picked my puppy up later that day. The groomer greets me with a pathetic face, handing me my dog and telling me "your dog bit me." I responded in awe and concern as my dog had never bit anyone in the two years he has lived with me. He is by no means a ferocious guard dog! I asked the groomer if he was o.k. and he responded "yeah no big deal." In response to my surprised disposition, the groomer said "maybe it's because he was matted on his tummy." LIE. He wasn't. They failed to mention anything else including the small detail that they had CUT AND SLICED MY DOG WITH RAZOR BURNS ALL OVER HIS ABDOMEN AND GENITALIA. No mention of this slight detail, let alone the courtesy of some ointment or relief through the weekend (this occurred on a Saturday). In plain English, the groomer "took the upperhand" to deflect from the injuries he inflicted on my puppy.
In short, a routine visit to the groomer cost me $140 in emergency vet visit and treatment.
When I contacted them the next business day to inquire as to why they omitted telling me about the cuts, the receptionist transferred the phone to the groomer who screamed in my ear and said that if I submitted any paperwork to his boss about the e.r. visit, he would call Animal Control and have my dog quarantined. Outrageous or what?
While "accidents happen", deliberate omissions and spiteful conduct don't just happen.
The groomer at this location is a despicable human being. Spread the word and take your pet elsewhere. If you are looking for honest, professional, and friendly service for your pet, this is DEFINITELY not the place.

I have been taking my 2 beautiful Australian Shepherds to Hollywood Hounds for over 5 years now and they have always been incredibly well cared for and groomed! They are also very accommodating to my hectic work schedule and always willing to help out if I am late or need to drop my boys off early for grooming. Karen and Felix and Maya have been wonderful to Bleu and Sundance and for that I will always be grateful. As for the bad review I just read, everyone has a bad day once in a while and my opinion after 5 years should have more impact than someone who went there once. As for the owner of the dog who got bit by another dog, how do you know that they even knew about it? There is no way that Karen or Felix or Maya would allow a dog to be bit and not say anything to the owner right away, sorry they just would not do that!
