Doggie Dos by Terri

I had tried to call them on a saturday morning but they we not picking up & I wonder why! when i arrived they have almost to 20 dogs inside getting groomed and i’m like boy oh boy. no wonder! i had brought in geneva for a quick nail trim and grind and they took her in right away. they made geneva feel super comfortable and my dog was happy! thanks alot. can’t wait to bring her back

They did a great job on my doggie! I asked them to make sure he didn’t look like a poodle– so many groomers have a problem with this– and they knew what I meant. Goldendoodles are supposed to look a bit shaggy and rough, with no high head of hair like poodles. He smells good and is all clean.

Got my doggie Siri (no, not like the phone) groomed the other day and it was a lovely experience. The women were very polite and considerate regarding anything Siri might need. The pricing was really cheap compared to other groomers in the La Mesa area. They even gave us poop bags! One thing I really liked was that they asked when we wanted to pick her up or have her done by. So I knew exactly when to expect siri rather than just waiting on a random call throughout the day. Also, they only accept cash or check. That wasn’t a problem for me but I just thought it was worth mentioning. Very happy with siri’s haircut and will be back again :)

My pup has been here twice now and I think I’ve found my dog’s new groomer! I own a maltipoo and his hair can get a little cray after a while. I took my dog to PetSmart for about two years and every visit would get worse and worse. They once charged me extra because my dog was being difficult when it came to his nails, but Doggie Dos gets the job done! I even pay half at Doggie Dos than what I did at PetSmart. I felt a little skeptical bringing my dog here at first because they let the dogs play freely with each other, but my dog did well with the other dogs both times!

Love Terri and her staff! Mylo was not socialized when I got him at 7! He’s well on his way now! Terri is CLEARLY a dog lover herself!

A big shoutout for Terri: best grooming experience ever!!! After seeing my dog get pulled and dragged around at the previous groomer, I decided to look for a new one. Oh man why didnt I find Terri earlier! My dog smells so good and his fur is so shinning each time I pick him up. I know that he is at good hands and they are taking really good care of him. As a dog parent, i cannot ask for a better grooming experience for my fur baby.

Heads up dog lovers! This place is great! They took great care of our little YorkiePoo Buster. Treated him so kindly and gave the perfect cut and service. Buster was so happy to have so many little friends to hang out with all day at the salon until it was his turn. Prices are reasonable especially since Buster is scared of grooming and gets snippy, they took extra time with him, thank you.

Terri is a miracle worker! My dogs use to hate the groomers but they love their playmate at doggie dos!

This was my first time there and as soon as i walked in I knew i was NOT going to come back, the place is super small and all the dogs are let loose running all over the room where the groomers are working, if something was to happen to my dog or any other clients dog while being in a room with all dogs while all the workers are busy and not paying attention im sure they would be furious. Why let your freshly cut dog loose around other dogs who aren’t clean. I was disgusted with the place, i asked them if my dog could be done by a certain time because i had to be out of San Diego by 5, he wasnt done till almost closing and he was there from 10am to almost 6pm. I am not going to recommend this place at all.

Excellent service and excellent staff. Highly recommend for all folks in the La Mesa area. New to the area and don’t think I need to look any further. Pat R.

I called about grooming and they got me in the same day. They did an awesome job on my dog’s cut! Also, I didn’t notice the «cash or check» sign when I dropped him off, so when I picked him up they were very accommodating and said I could do an IOU and bring cash later or mail a check. Great service! I found my new groomer.

We love Doggie Dos! Terri and her staff make us feel very important. Our baby loves going to Doggie Dos to hang out and get groomed! I’m always at ease knowing that my baby is safe and having fun when I leave him at Doggie dos! Price is so affordable and the staff does a great groom job. He always leaves with holiday bandana and sweet treats to take home! Stop giving your money to big chain groomers and see Terri at Doggie Dos.

I really like this place! They don’t cage your dog all day like other places. The groomers are extremely friendly and the prices are the best. It was hard finding a place I didn’t feel bad leaving my Lola. Not this place! :)

Doggie Dos delivers time and time again. My pup always comes out looking great and feeling happy. Getting an appointment that works for my schedule is never an issue. It’s easy on the wallet, and they have just awesome service. I always feel fine leaving my girl with them for the day — I know they take excellent care of their furry customers.

My kids have been going here for about a year and even though they don’t like the groomers my kids look and feel great after. The prices are OUTSTANDING and are the best around even better then Petco. The store is pretty small with tons of dogs running all over the dog area. If it’s your first time there you’ll probably be surprised at all the dogs which means a lot because if it was only one or two dogs that probably means this place sucks. Well anyway this is a great place to have your dogs groomed.

I have only been here 2 times so far, but I will be going back. The staff is always friendly and greats you with a smile. It is easy to get an appointment even know she is always busy. My two fur kids always look good and seem to like the team here. The prices are fair and the shop is always clean.

Best Dog Groomer in San Diego!
I’ve been taking my Wheaton Terrier to Terri for 8+ years, and I have to say she is the BEST! The grooming, bathing, nail trimming, etc are always pristine and my dog comes out of there happy as can be! The atmosphere is ideal for a friendly/​social dog, and Earl is happy to stay all day if Terri can accommodate us. I wouldn’t go to anyone else! Terri & her staff are simply the best!

If I could give her 10 stars I would! I am beyond grateful for Terri. I recently found a puppy in poor shape. And the amount of service I received from Terri, I could never pay enough. She was able to help him get a bath and groomed, even though he was terrified. I cried when I came home, the puppy is beyond happy with his clean new look. She’s very personable and truly cares. I recommend her to anyone that loves their dog and wants the best service. I could go on and on about how happy I am! Love it

After reading all the great reviews and seeing 5 stars I decided to take my 6 month Bichon for her FIRST grooming (not just a bath). I didn’t want her in a kennel all day so this seemed ideal. I should not have left her.
When I walked in I was entirely overwhelmed by the number of dogs, all going crazy and barking (as expected). But there were FAR more than I expected. Additionally, if you read some other negative reviews, there IS fur/​hair all over the floor which is a little unsanitary to me.
I told them I wanted her face very short, feet as well, and her body cut longer as she has (had) a beautiful silky coat. Perhaps I was not specific enough but it was my first time and I thought I was clear. The girl wrote ⁵⁄₈ — I had no idea what that meant.
I did not recognize my pup upon picking her up. Her face and legs were nicely trimmed but her body was as short as her legs and her face/​head longer. She essentially had a buzz cut. I was so upset (almost in tears) I simply paid, said thank you, and brought her home where my family expressed my exact sentiments — WHAT HAPPENED? Additionally, my mom and I need to trim up a few areas ourselves because they are uneven.
Needless to say, we will not be returning for two reasons: overwhelming and a bit dirty and then the opposite grooming of what I requested. I will work on my communication next time I take her somewhere, but I’m praying her beautiful coat comes back and quickly!

I am so happy I found Terri!
We’ve been with this groomer for about 6 months now, and I love this place!
They are always busy.
But, even when the salon is filled with doggies, it is a happy and calm place with furry friends playing, wandering and sleeping in this cozy salon.
My little guy is happy while there and comes home beautiful and smelling great.
Thank you Terri!
I’m here to stay.
