Cathy’s Canine

Thank you for taking such great care of my Sake. You give the best service that I’ve found in the Escondido area. Excellent, friendly service.

We love this place! I have two cats and one is extremely on the shy side. She startles when you flip a light on so you can only imagine what she does if we take her to get groomed (a very rare occasion I assure you) The other cat is long haired and thinks she’s a dog so she loves walks on her leash, car rides and going bye bye.
I had tried several places to get the long haired cat clipped and it was either a disaster (PetSmart, who had her there over 9 hours) or it seemed like I liked the place the first time (Ye Old Poodle Parlor) only to go back and get crappy customer service, crappy clip and to have them talk down to me or my cat.
It seemed like I would NEVER find a place that could handle cats, be consistent in their services, was friendly and genuinely liked animals.
That’s when I found this place. I’ve waited to write a review to ensure that I actually loved them and guess what, I do!
We bring our long haired cat here regularly to get her clipped. I wanted something shorter than the typical lion clip but I had no idea what to tell them. After talking to the husband (husband and wife own & run the place) he suggested a Tiger clip and it’s perfect!
My cat never likes getting groomed but she does love the attention that these people pile on her while she is here. They actually care! Today they had her in a cage in the lobby waiting on me because they had some «barkers» in the back and they didn’t want her to be overwhelmed with all of that noise. That’s awesome! They talk to her and love on her and her haircuts rock!
I’ve even brought my skittish one here and they made her so comfortable she didn’t hyperventilate or get grumpy. She actually enjoyed their brushing. If my cats like the people then what’s not to like!?!
I’m sure they rock with dogs too, if I had one I would be bringing it here.
I see in some of the older posts people have complained about the girls at the desk and how rude they were. It seems like the owners actually listened to your concerns, because those people are GONE! The only people I’ve ever seen there has been the owners (a husband and wife team) and their son. I actually went in and interviewed the employee who turned out to be their son. He was so friendly that he gave me a behind the scenes tour and explained how the process goes. They were not grooming that day because his parents were at a conference getting continued education on grooming. That’s a plus in my mind.
–Customer service had always been great!
–No appointment times to bother with
–Actually interested in your pets
–Sells other things that are pet related
–Offers many services
–Consistent in their cuts
–Listens to customers and fixes problems like bad staff!
What’s not to love!
I recommend them to everyone!

We’ve taken our fearful golden retriever here for a full groom a few times now and every time they have been very patient with him and his crazy coat. Love the walk in style because it always works with our last minute availability. I highly recommend this place for grooming and for the self service wash stations!

I brought my cat benny in for a lions cut to cool down for the summer. I was greeted by a smiling gentleman at the counter who mentioned a 5 dollar off coupon on their website. I picked benny up a few hours later. he was clipped to perfection, he smelled very clean and fresh, and his nails were clipped. it was a very positive experience for both of us. thank you kathy’s canine for a very positive experience. we will be back. thanks again. jim

Hate this place the girls here are so rude and they are very unprofessional I would never take my pets here again! Don’t trust this place!

If I could give this place no stars, I would. They are so rude. I was so happy with the first haircut they gave my dogs but then their prices starting getting higher and they started getting more and more rude. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYBODY! All of my neighbors disliked their services but I refused to say the same until the same actions started happening to me and my dogs.
DO NOT GO HERE! THEY ARE VERRRY UNREASONABLE! THEY HAVE NO CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS WHATSOEVER!

I finally got the courage to bring my dog to a groomer. What made me interested with this particular place was that they don’t require appointments. I absolutely hate making appointments. They just require that you drop off your dog between 8am-​10am and they’ll call when the dog is ready. My dog usually barks at strangers and other dogs but he surprisingly did very well with the friendly staff here. They recommended just doing some trims at first because he is new to the groomers. When he begins to go more often then they can start using clippers when he gets used to it there. When I came to pick him up he was so fluffy and clean. They did a good job trimming his face and feet and giving him a nail cut and bath. He looked really happy! I will definitely bring my dog here in the future.
