Mud to Suds Dog Wash & Grooming

Love this place! I drive up to Roseville from Sacramento just to get my dog groomed at Muds to Suds. The owner is always very welcoming and even knows who I am and my dog. My dog is not easy to groom and she does a great job every time. I’ve been bringing my dog here for 2 years now and have never been disappointed!

I have two dogs, one Larger and one smaller. We brought both of them in today for the first time. Before bringing them in we called and made a reservation. We told them the weight of both dogs so they had an idea of what they were dealing with. Our Golden doodle Callie is around 85 pounds and our Yorkie-​Poo is around 16 pounds at the most. When we brought both dogs in the lady at the front counter told us Callie would need to be shaved completely. We did not feel she needed this because everyone at our regular groomer has done fine with her. She did have some matts but it has never been an issue before. We asked for Bailey to have a teddy bear face. We left and around 7 hours later we called and asked when our dogs would be finished they told us about another hour and a half. When we came back Callie was shaved! The only hair she had left was a few curls on the top of her head. It looks like a patched of uncooked Top Ramon noodles. Bailey has a total bowl cut with straight cut ears and bangs not at all a teddy bear. Just to add to our experience, there was no way they gave our dogs any water while they were there when we got home both dogs ran straight to the water bowl and drank the water like they had never had water before. Never going back! Go to My Dog Spot for dog grooming!!!

My husband and I recently moved to the area and were looking for a groomer for our shih tzu fur baby. We really didn’t want to do the Petsmart thing so we took to Unilocal for our search. There are plenty of places to choose from that are near to us but we settled on Mud to Suds. The other place we called never returned our call so needless to say we quickly removed them from the list.
I called and spoke with Amber and immediately knew this was gonna be our place. She is super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We must’ve talked for 30 mins. She’s so much for than a dog stylist that washes and cuts hair. She truly cares for your pet as her own. She even gave us vet recommendations. We made the appointment for the following week and off we went.
The location is very clean and well maintained. We were late but Amber couldn’t have been more gracious. We went over what I wanted done and she told us how long it would take. Our baby immediately took to her.
It took exactly the amount of time Amber said it would. We picked him up and he looks and smells amazing! She even brushed his teeth! He never lets us near his mouth so that in itself was awesome. The total was only $ 50 which is more than reasonable for everything she did for him. Whats even better is normally after a grooming he’s a little skiddish and anxious. Today, he couldn’t be more chill. He was so calm and now he’s napping like he just came from the spa. That’s exactly how he should be.
I love this place and so happy to have found a great groomer so close by. Highly recommend! We will be long term customers!

Amber and Megan are fantastic. This is a small 2 woman shop with 2 self wash stations as well. I drive 30 minutes to take my large dogs here because I trust these women. My dogs are always beautifully groomed just the way I like them to look. I will never go anywhere else. The prices are also very reasonable. You can leave your doggies with peace of mind. Also this is a very clean shop which I appreciate.

I brought my dogs here for about a year and tolerated the business like atmosphere. I don’t know if they are always in a rush or what but my animals always came back with small nicks and cuts and there skin looked red and inflamed like razor burn from the clippers. I told them about this many times but nothing changed. Although the self serve dog washing stations are great for some people I think this just adds to the noise and confusion when there grooming your pet. Having 5 other dogs in a steal bath thrashing around does not aid in the calm grooming experience they advertise. In my opinion take your pets to a small groomer shop.

I tried Mud to Suds for the first time today. I have 2 cocker spaniels and both have a bit of separation anxiety. I explained to Amber the extra care Henley needed with the dryer. She was wonderful with both of them. They both looked so adorable and I felt so good that they were in good hands. I’m going back and I would recommend this groomer.

I’ve been taking my dog here for a couple years since previous owner, But the last few times I leave wondering why I continue to bring my business there. Amber has become so unfriendly to the point of just plain rude. And my dog is trembling when I pick her up so it makes me wonder if she’s rough with her. I decided to give her one last chance but she was more rude than ever. I won’t be going back.

So loved out experience! While the drop off/​lobby wasn’t super inviting, my pup loved her experience. Her coat is silky soft now and she seems to be shedding less. Her nails are perfectly clipped. Definitely will be coming back for our next grooming needs!

Used to love bringing our dogs here but there seems to have been a change in management. When inquiring about services we received a condescending response. Rude service here to the point where we were not comfortable leaving our dog for his appointment. Will not be returning.

Wow! Won’t be bringing my dog here! Called to check for an appointment and the person that answered the phone was so rude, and as I was saying thank you, she hung up on me! Not a good first impression!

We used Mud to Suds about a week ago after reading reviews on Unilocal. We wanted to have our pointer groomed before going on a weekend trip, and they were able to work her in that same day. She came back clean, with her nails neatly trimmed, wearing a colorful bandanna. We plan to use Mud to Suds again.

Do not go to this place. A misunderstanding of bath appointment that’s was actually a nail trim, angered the lady. She made it clear, she was right and there was no misunderstanding, she works 12 hour days, and I could go to the vet for nails. She charged me 10.00 more than normal, squeezed my little dog so hard, his ribs are bruised and can’t be picked up without crying… and when leaving she said“have a terrible day”.
Serious, do not go there!!!

I will not come here again. They were very unprofessional. I just needed a nail trim. I have walked in several times before and it was no problem. The last 3 times I have been turned away. A nail trim only takes a minute or 2. I have wasted so much time driving here right just to get turned away.

I don’t normally write reviews but I had to because I was so impressed with Benji’s hair cut. It is with out a doubt the best haircut he has ever had, and Amber was so sweet and knowledgable. It is very easy to tell how much she loves the animals she works with. She will definitely be Benji’s permanent groomer, because aside from his amazing haircut, I know he will be in greats hands. Not only that but she was kind enough to see my dog last minute today! Thanks again!

Absolutely love Mud to Suds! They have groomed my sweet boy Luca a few times now since we are new to the area, and he always comes home looking amazing! The staff are extremely nice and professional, and are great with my pup! Luca has a bit of separation anxiety (he’s a rescue with a big history), and Mud to Suds does an incredible job of getting him back to me within a couple of hours. I tried taking him to a different place before finding Mud to Suds, and they kept him for five hours, and had him crated most of the time. Will be continually bringing my pup here :)
Thank you Mud to Suds for your awesome service!

They did amazing on our pure white German Shepard!!! Very personable and friendly service. They were very knowledgeable on the phone regarding my dogs coat and gave me some knowledge I wasn’t aware of as well. I will be using them on a regular basis. This dog grooming business is a gem!
The Johnson Family

Our little Maltese, Monique, was recently diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. At the time she really needed a haircut, and after weeks of vet visits, her hair became long and matted. We were hesitant to get her groomed because of the additional stress it would cause, but we knew how uncomfortable she must have felt. Amber was completely understanding of our situation and made sure that Monique was as comfortable as possible. She handled her very gently and took the time to give her special attention. After picking Monique up, she looked like a completely different dog. Amber gave her a beautiful haircut – the perfect length, clean, and mat free. I highly recommend Amber’s services and Mud to Suds Grooming for your furry family members!

Mine and Lil Bits first time ~ Amber spoiled my baby ~ found her
cuteness under the mop of hair I brought her in with ~
We will be back :) Thanks Amber

Sometimes all the hype isn’t hype at all, sometimes it is the truth and I am happy to say that in the case of Mud to Suds 5 star rating it is the truth. We took our little Unilocaler Lucie for her first grooming appointment with Amber.
Amber informed us that she couldn’t perform a full cut as unbeknownst to us Lucie was growing her adult coat and shouldn’t have a full haircut until her coat is fully grown. Amber also explained to us that she likes to take her time for puppies first appointments since they can easily be overwhelmed which is so true of shy little Lucie. Amber actually monitors your pups comfort/​anxiety level and proceeds with their grooming according to how relaxed your pet is. Nothing better than a person who not only enjoys her work but is great at it as well.
Our little Lucie had her nails ground, a bath and a hair/​coat trim. When we picked her up she looked more beautiful than ever before and she smelled great too. More importantly Lucie wasn’t stressed out at all and seemed to have enjoyed her experience $ 42 well spent.
I highly recommend Amber and Mud to Suds for your pets grooming needs.

Just got back from taking Drogo here to the selfwash area. I’m not sure what happened, but this place has gone down hill more and more each week from my last review 5 months ago.
The tub and brush were dirty. The tear-​less face wash had a huge clump of dog hair on it and the cap had build up of yuck on it.
It seems like they no longer ask for your information when you first enter. It was nice when they used to especially since they would have vaccine records on the dogs and deny anyone who wasn’t up to date.
One of the girls acted like it was an inconvenience to take me to a wash tub, on more than one occasion. Made me not want to ask for the upgraded shampoo and conditioner.
I’m pretty sure that this will be my last time here.
