I tried Pet Affaire based on a neighbor's recommendaton, and all the raving revews on this site. The staff seemed very friendly on the phone when I made my appt for my dogs bath/cut. I was quoted $65-70 for each dog. Seemed reasonable enough, although was used to paying $50 per dog over at Centinela Pets on Centnela Av. Unfortunately the groomer at CP left unexpectedly with no forwarding info and has yet to be replaced. After dropping them off the owner called me to tell me it will be $90 per dog based on the heavy matting and "aggressive behavior". I did tell them that my female is tempremental when I dropped them off, yes she has been muzzled before during groomiing, usually no big deal. But my male is super friendly, however they decided to go ahead and muzzle him anyway, although later confirmed by a member of the staff, that he wasn't acting aggressively. I never heard complaints from groomers/owners about my dogs being such a huge ordeal, behaviour, condition of coat etc. They told me they required 2-3 groomers per dog just to get the work done. I in the past have brought my dogs to groomers with heavy matting, dirty, stinky and have not ever been told that they required 2-3 groomers per dog. The most they expressed was that my female needed to be muzzled and they charged me $20 extra for the heavy matting.
When my dogs came home I could still see the outline of the muzzle around my male's face, it stayed there for quite awhile. My female had knicks on her belly and she was clearly upset, still shaking for quite a long time after arriving. She has never acted this way when arriving from the groomers. All in all, the cut was decent however not worth the obvious trauma my dogs endured. Also for $90 per dog, I would've just called a mobile dog grooming service, which I have payed $75-85 per dog . I just wish I knew where the Centinela Pets groomer is now, $50 for bath/shave, great cut, no bitching about my dogs, and they left happy....

This is a great place to take your dog. Great prices, great grooming. My King Charles Cavalier comes out shiny and spotless every time. The staff is extremely friendly and even my timid little dog thinks it is a painless experience!

I took our dog, who also was rescued from a shelter and had no previous grooming experience, to Pet Affaire to be groomed for the first time recently, and I could not have been more pleased with the results. After I made an appointment, I dropped her off at 8am and she was done before noon--completely washed, dried, brushed and trimmed. The people there were so friendly and efficient--grooming will now be a regular part of our dog's routine. Excellent job!

Our pet... a shelter rescue... had no previous grooming experiences, pet affaire did an amazing job of suggesting a style and providing a wonderful experience including great treats afterwards and wonderful products (at great prices) for us to reward him with; our dog has never been happier and gets compliments on his looks wherever we go.

The folks down at Pet Affaire are the absolute best! Not only do we love them, but so does our dog. We've tried a lot of groomers but Pet Affaire tops them all. They do such an amazing job. We highly recommend them!
