What's included: brush out, bath and haircut. We love to hand scissor. It's our specialty! We hand strip, for those special dogs! And if your pet needs to be dematted, that too can be done for an extra charge.

Cleaning ears and clipping nails is a routine procedure, and we also file nails.

The proper use of curry brushes, carding combs and other "shed control" products and equipment, coupled with a lot of elbow grease will have your "shedding machine" under control in no time.

We take on the "Fear Factor Dog", who's been skunked, and work through the sticky mess of your traditional tomato juice, as well as the nauseating aroma.

We have worked on many dogs and cats that you may have seen on nationally shown commercials, TV shows, movies, and print ads. We always recognize them!

Shampooing

Testimonials

Bonny and her team at Dogs Etc have been our groomers for over 15 years. At Studio Animal Services we have extremely diverse grooming needs and Bonny and her team have tackled them all. From hand scissoring our poodles on very short notice for that last minute shoot, to being our on-set groomer for national commercials like Cesar’s Dog Food. Dogs Etc has been able to handle everything we've thrown at them. The experience and skill of Bonny and her team has been an invaluable asset to our company.

What can I say? Dogs Etc Is the only professional grooming service that I will even consider grooming my cat. Yes, they do cats also and “Willie” (the cat) loves getting cleaned up and a nail trim. As for my Yellow Lab, it’s the only place that that can get away with trimming the nails, which he hates the most. I’ve tried other pet salons in town and no one compares to Dogs Etc for quality and price. They really take pride in their work. Which these days, is hard to find.

Dogs Etc is the best pet grooming shop in the SCV! Our dogs are a part of our family and they are treated as a part of the Dogs Etc family when they visit to be groomed…and when they return home they are happy and look, smell and feel so soft and wonderful!

Thank you for being careful with Pepper's hip when grooming him... And always love the neckerchiefs!!! Your groomers are great, but Bonnie you are the best!!

I just want to thank Dogs Etc personally for all you do for Studio Animal Services. So many times we have called you last minute and you have come through for us and our unique grooming needs with fantastic results. We never worry about the outcome of the grooming, and we have complete confidence with your work 100% of the time. In this day and age, it is a wonderful thing to have complete confidence something will be done perfectly. When we have requested your presence on the film set, our production company clients have always been very happy with your work. It has allowed us to say “yes, we have a wonderful groomer that can be here on the shoot day.” Not only have you been our primary groomer for about 20 years, you have been a support and friend to us, when we are struggling- trying to figure out how to resolve grooming issues with our clients. You have also helped us design "special" cuts and "looks" making 2 dogs look alike, by ingeniously cutting and grooming them to look almost identical so that we may interchange them during the filming and they will look like the same dog! We are very grateful you are there for us, thank you for all you do for us!
Karin McElhatton, Studio Animal Services

I've been bring my dogs to Bonny at Dogs Etc for over 20 years. When my last Lhasa Apso has to be put to sleep, Bonny was there to say a last goodbye. Bonny is very caring with all the animals. Wherever I go; people ask me who grooms my dog, because Sadie always looks fabulous! I'm so happy I found Bonny.

I have been a client of Dogs Etc for 6 years. I have two toy poodles that love going to Dogs Etc. So many people ask me where I take my dogs, because they always look so nice, and I tell them Dogs Etc and exactly where it is located. Everyone there is professionally trained and handles all dogs with loving care. The dogs are always calm and relaxed because of the calm and relaxed atmosphere. If you are looking for a great place to have your dogs groomed, I highly recommend that you call Dogs Etc.
