Critter Clipper

this place is awesome! i take my maltese Pete here about every 6 – 8 weeks. His hair is always on point! they have perfected the «teddy bear» face that makes Pete look like a baby!

We love critter clippers! Our dog Jersey always looks great when she’s done. They are really good people and love animals. I highly recommended them

Too bad this place has to gone downhill — last time they couldn’t find my appointment and were much less staffed, and the staff that was there was a young guy who didn’t seem as experienced. It took quite a long time, and my dog’s nails weren’t as neat. It seemed like they weren’t dremel-​ed like the last time. She’s a short coat wash and wear dog, so grooming shouldn’t be too difficult. Will likely not be returning — too bad, it was a convenient spot for us.

We have been taking our dog here for almost 4 years. Very pleased with service and price. Check them out — you won’t be sorry.

When I got my Lhasa apso I knew I needed a great groomers. I found them thru my vet, if I could give them more stars I would! They always take care of my Oliver with the best care! They know what he needs & give us the best advice when something extra needs to be done. They have affordable prices and truly love what they do!

I have used the same groomer for 7 years but recently moved to HB and needed to find a new groomer for my very hairy cocker spaniel. I found these guys on Unilocal looked the reviews which were amazing btw so I gave them a shot, it was by far the best grooming experience my little guy has ever had! Chaz I believe is his name came out to get my dog he got right down there and picked him have him a little snuggle (saying he was grossly over due for a bath is an understatement) so it was really nice to know that these guys really care about your dogs! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new groomer!

I have an 8 month old Morky (maltese/​yorkie mix) that had never been professionally groomed. He was sort of a hairy mess and I know a squirmy handfull! They did an awesome job with him! He is now trimmed up and adoreable. Never could see his eyes before. My husband now thinks our pup is cute! I would highly recommend them.

I have been through quite a few groomers and until I started bring the dogs to Critter Clippers, they would come home and act as if they had been punished. Now when I drop them off, they go in and go right back and are not afraid of what’s behind the ‘big door” I have been very happy with the grooming they give both my dogs and would recommend them to anyone. Love my dogs to much to put them with anyone who does not treat them with loving care.

I have a fancy dog (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) and she is my baby. In the past 4 years I have taken her to 4 different groomers.
I finally found my groomer!!! Critter Clipper is the only place where she doesn’t come out scared and pulling me out the door. She loves Rhonda and Rhonda does fabulous job with her. Each time I have asked her to cut my dog’s hair really short, which isn’t typical. Cavaliers have A LOT of hair and she comes out looking fabulously cute.
The atmosphere is friendly, homey, and laid back.
They also have great products for sale like flea treatments and teeth care products.
BEST PLACE EVER!!!

We randomly found this place for our dog, Brian, and can’t be happier with them!
Brian is a low maintenance dog and we are basically just too busy/​lazy to wash him as much as he needs to keep his dog smell away, and get his nails clipped… it is only $ 20 here for the basic wash and that is a steal in our eyes to avoid smelly towels and wet dog smell all day in our home. They are very kind to Brian and always get him in last minute when we call. I really also appreciated the extra care they give him, for example last year he had horrible hot spots due to fleas and they took it upon themselves to put bitter stuff on his spots so he wouldn’t bite them, etc.
I saw last time they now accept credit cards which is even better!

My dog is a GIANT baby. He loves anyone and everyone, but when it comes to getting his nails done, he turns into a complete lunatic. He makes ridiculous noises like he’s getting beaten to death and flails like crazy. Add in to the equation that he’s a pit bull, and every groomer he’s been to gets terrified. I know Rex would never bite anyone, but they don’t, which I totally understand, but all the muzzling and 5 people holding him and all of that don’t help his fear.
Critter Clipper gets it. They understand Rex, they understand my fears, and they just generally understand dogs.
Rex has been here twice, the first time, it took two people, compared to the usual 5 plus a tranquilizer. He was in and out within 20 or 30 minutes, even with his multiple escapes. The second time, it was just one groomer doing his nails. The groomer has learned Rex’s behavior the first time and knew Rex wasn’t going to bite him, so he didn’t back down. He was able to get his nails cut and ground down in 15 or so minutes. Rex was less scared this time than the last and Tax, the groomer, says within a few trips of learning he’s not going to get hurt and he’s not going to scare anyone off with the craziness, Rex should be back to normal.
I’m BEYOND thrilled and impressed with this place, as well as Tax.
The ONLY, and I mean only, negative thing I could even possibly say is that this place isn’t as aesthetically pleasing as some groomers I’ve been to. It’s clean, safe, sanitary, well-​priced, and highly-​effective, so it’s well worth the trade. I guess my point is, if you’re used to «doggy spas» where everything is pink and fluffy and glittery, don’t let the lack of flash fool you. This is a top-​notch highly skilled grooming salon.

We came to Critter Clipper from using your usual big dog groomer and boy, there is a HUGE difference! Our dog happily goes in and comes out — no fighting or being stubborn. The staff is really nice and they do a great job — even give our pups a bandana! The nails are the best as they clip and grind so they are smooth and don’t scratch us. They do a great job and we are always happy to stop by for some doggy pampering!

Me and my puppy love this place. They treat me and my dog very well always have appointments even if they aren’t necessary. They also have treats for the dogs after they are groomed and that’s a plus for the dog. They trim the dogs nails with a grinder which I recommend since the nails aren’t as sharp as when used with clippers.

I switched to this groomer after a bad experience at another one in Huntington Beach. Before, they would see the groomer and try and run for the door. When we get to Critter Clipper, the dogs jump out of the car, run for the door and walk to the back area and right to the cage, tails wagging the whole time. They do a good job, are kind and loving with the dogs and are reasonable. Very Happy I found them, leaves me feeling so much better when I drop the dogs off.
