K-9 Klipper

I didn’t get my dog groomed here because the woman said she had no availability with the holidays coming up. She seemed annoyed that I even stopped in to ask about grooming… so I’m giving 2 stars for poor customer service. Disappointed because I just moved up the street so it would have been convenient.

Very unimpressed with this place and the women behind the counter. I would give it one star, but that would not be fair because I ended up not taking my dog here. I read about the amazing reviews on Unilocal,and decided to stop in last week and check the place out. I opened the door and the stench of wet dog was so overwhelming that I wanted to walk out immediately. Obviously dog grooming facilities aren’t going to smell like roses, but it smelled horrific and looked extremely unkempt. I was very friendly and smiling, and asked the women behind the counter how much it would be for a doggy cut. The woman did not say hi back and says with an attitude «if I’m taking new clients that is» And then proceeded to tell me if she was taking new clients it would be 60 something for a cut. Her rude demeanor was so off putting I just left. That’s a great price for grooming but I will not take my dogs there just because this woman was so rude and unfriendly. I highly suggest she take some courses in good customer service because she lost a potential client, and I am sure she will lose more with that attitude.

i was taking my golden retriever to a place in Alamo where I had gone for many years. My new pup was very anxious about the place. One day I arrived early to find the two men painfully holding her down and yelling at her to trim her feet. She had trim marks on her forehead once before and now I knew why. Kristina was recommended to me by a breeder and I called and explain our dog’s experience. She worked with Stella very slowly and introduced the equipment piece by piece, letting her smell everything before it touched her. Stella is now comfortable with being groomed. Kristina both breeds and shows dogs. She is a real lover of animal. I don’t care about the extra hair around the shop. She is GOOD to my dog. Not all groomers are good to the animals. K9 Klippers is the best.

There are much better dog grooming areas near by. I would recommend Pampered Paws in Lafayette as they at least seem to pick up their phone.

We were referred to Kristina from other Golden Retriever owners. I have to say Kristina knows her dogs. She is the only groomer we trust with our dog. She is very flexible on scheduling and our dog comes home looking great.

The main reason why this place got a 4 out of me was for its convenience, and fair prices. During my senior year of high school, I would have school from 8:50 — 12:30. The lady would let me drop my yorkie off at 8:30, go to school, and then let me pick her up at 12:30. She did an excellent job trimming her. My special request was to trim around her eyes to prevent the long strands from going inter her eyes, the owner did it perfectly. She didn’t completely shave it off like other groomers do. Best of all, the price was more than reasonable! $ 22!!! Shampoo, trim, sanitary cut, and inner pad trimmings for only $ 22! That’s unheard of!
However, like the review below me, there is hair everywhere. Many dogs that come here are overly fluffy, and when she cuts them, they have just been conditioned. My only suggestion would be to fix up the store, and find a way to keep the hair contained. But, she does beautiful work, and that makes up for the store.

I really want to like this place. She does a great job grooming my Golden Retriever and at a very good price. The problem is that no one answers the phone or returns calls. I have to drive about 40 minutes and then hang out in Moraga while waiting for my dog to be groomed. I’ve had to leave several messages before receiving a return call and this last time never did hear back. Dog needed grooming so I had to go elsewhere. Maybe they don’t need more business?

I love K9 Klipper and Kristina! She trims my goldens beautifully and also my sister-in-law’s two Norwich terriers. And her goldens are always friendly greeters. This is hard work and she does it mostly single-​handedly. We hope she never retires! :-)

Everytime I go to this place, the workers always give an attitude and are too rough with dogs. Very disrespectful and horrible customer service. They also never answer their phone! Will always make an excuse to just shave your dog because they don’t want to take the time to REALLY groom them. Do not like this place at all. I live in Moraga and drive out to Walnut Creek now because of how bad k-​9 klipper is.

AS GOOD AS IT GETS! I have a Golden Retriever (now 8.5 years old) and Christina’s EXPERTISE is evident. My Golden is meticulously groomed (SHOW QUALITY). She comes out immaculate — her coat smooth and soft; and she smells great — PAWS CLIPPED TO PERFECTION. I love my Golden and the way she is groomed by K-​9 Klipper!

I had been told great reviews about this place and decided to take my dog there to be groomer/​trimmed. He was stuck there all day long sitting in a tiny kennel for some unknown reason. I am not pleased in the slightest with the outcome of his trim, his hair looks terrible and his face was trimmed so short. But while she was shaving his belly she got too close to the skin and he has since had an irritation for the past couple days. He had to be taken to the vet yesterday in order to get antibiotics to correct the rash. After $ 200 in vet bills, it is save to say he will NOT be coming back.

Snuffy and i Love love love this place! My dog is a little over 9 years old and he has been coming here his entire life! I’ve lived everywhere around the bay area (San francisco to Brentwood) and have tried out MANY! No one does a better job safely cutting and trimming my dog so I always find myself dropping snuffy off no matter how far I have to travel!
Christine always knows how to make my bichon look as cute as the day I got him. Nails trimmed properly (even the thumb nail part), head hair cut WAY down (groomers play some twisted game w/​bichon’s head hair), ears trimmed short, evenly shaved body, and cleanly plucked ear hair (4 out of 5 groomers in the past left a bloodly infected canal days after him being groomed!) A big plus is that his hair is cut so well that even when it grows out, it still looks like he has been perfectly groomed!!!
The only downside is the appointment situation. I think Christine is doing a one woman show so it may take a bit for her to call u back or to schedule an appointment… busybusy folks! But do it… you will be so relieved to find this place!
