I've been taking my dog here for grooming since 2016 and the service is always amazing! The owner is super friendly and they always do a great job. Scheduling appointments is quick and easy through their website, and they send a friendly text when they're done. Highly recommend this fantastic local dog grooming business!

They did a great job with my Boston. She is pretty, well trimmed, and happy with the results. I would go back again and I think my dog would too.

Our 50lb mutt is often uncomfortable with groomers, but Miki and her team did an amazing job at settling him down and cutting his hair, giving him a bath, and making sure he was ready for the summer. I also really appreciate that they let the dogs roam free in their secured play space after the appointments. Thank you, SpaGo Dog!

First time here. In and out in less than an hour, and Miki groomed my 15lb westie mix. During SIP, this is one of the few dog groomers that's still taking new clients and making appointments was easy online. Dog looks great! Cost around $90 after tip.

I will not be bringing my Yorkie back here which is disappointing bc I had high hopes. I posted on yelp shortly after my experience, but I am compelled to post here. I made the appointment online and received a message that the owner had to confirm. I got a confirmation the day before despite making the appointment weeks ahead of time. When I arrived the very sweet groomer asked if “they” had the number, however there was nobody to confirm with. Apparently if you don’t pick up your dog on time they will charge. I called the salon repeatedly with NO answer. I was worried about my dog so I came down to the salon. I DID like the work that the groomer did, so I wanted to tip him. He told me in front of the owner that he did not receive any tips. Apparently only the owner aka Mikki get the tips. They also prefer cash which I did not have. Will not be going back to do unprofessionalism.

II do not recommend Spa Dog for purchases or drop in nail Tromso. Appointmrnts are made online only and the voicemail messages indicates drop in nail trims are welcome. I had some questions for the groomer however,, voicemail messages are not accepted. I have walked inside Spa Dog to speak with the groomer at least five times. She has always been grooming a dogor in the back area. The dogs in the waiting area bark and she has seen me and watched me as I walk around or wait by the gate to speak with her. . Each time I have waited for about 15 minutes to ask questions and one time had a toy in my hand to purchase.I understand she is in the middle if grooming or cleaning up but I would have preferred she take a few seconds to let me know when she would be finished or when I could make q time to speak with her.I had a very bad experience with a previous groomer and am not comfortable with making an appointment for grooming without having an interaction with a groomer first. She must have enough business to ignore potential new clients a d does not need to sell products to stay in business.Spa Dog appears to be a nice store with interesting products and the play/waiting space for dogs is large. Unfortunately, the customer service for potential customers is a zero.

They typically do a great job on Bailey but he was groomed by a trainee the last time and I had to take him back because his ears were not clean and they didn't spray the leave in conditioner that smells really good.

I love SpaGo Dog and highly recommend it . I have been to many groomers.Mikki takes an hour so you don't have to leave your dog for 4-8 hours.She grooms your dog in such a way that prevents matting for a long time.She is loving, kind , and very professional.

SpaGo Dog mobile grooming is the greatest! For a very reasonable price, they come to your door, scoop your dog up with lots of hugs and pets, and groom him/her perfectly right by your house. No waiting in a salon. No dropping off your dog and coming back hours later. No anxiety for your dog. I've used them for both of my dogs, a toy poodle and a spaniel mix, with wonderful results. I won't go anywhere else ... except maybe to check out their boutique.

SpaGo is great. I use the mobile service and have been really happy with the results. My small dogs are disgusting little animals with an unnatural ability to find mud puddles and filth in the most unlikely of places. SpaGo comes to my house, gets them back into shape, and deposits them right at my front door at a price competitive with any other groomer.One time I couldn't get an appointment at the time I wanted, so I took my dogs someplace else that was super high rated. Not only was it incredibly inconvenient, with constant phone calls back and forth trying to figure out when they would be ready, but when I finally went to pick them up, the grooming was subpar and they charged me extra because they had gone to the bathroom! The whole thing ended up costing more than SpaGo, and wasting a bunch of my free time.From then on I've been sold. I will never take them elsewhere. They are great with feedback, honest, thoughtful and considerate. One time I was not super satisfied with the way they'd shaped my dog, and she happily redid it before she left. I have been to at least half a dozen groomers in the East Bay, and I won't go to anyone else.To be honest, I don't even really want to write this review, because I don't want to make appointments harder to get, but they are so good I am willing to write it against my own best interests.

Convenient! Excellent service for the price! My two little terriers are not easy dogs to groom - they hate water and want to play. With SpaGoDog, my dogs get cleaned up quickly, with no trauma, and almost no stress. I would recommend them for all services - they are excellent!

Miki is a great groomer and SpaGo is a wonderful space for dogs to spend time. Your dog will feel loved and gorgeous at the same time. You get great service, the price is reasonable, it's easy to reserve a spot for your pooch, and all the folks who work there are sweet dog lovers.

This place is the best! Today was our 3rd time getting our dog groomed here and we have been very happy with the service and the results each time. Miki is a really great groomer and we love that it usually only takes an hour or less!

We've been having the mobile service come to our house since we got our dog (terrier mix) 2 years ago. He gets car sick and isn't great around other dogs, so I was hesitant to take him to a groomer. SpaGo Dog has been the best; they handle him well and he doesn't seem stressed out. He always look great and smells good, too. I am a big fan!

Miki and her crew are terrific. Our King Charles Cavalier loves coming for his grooming sessions! The service is first rate and fast. I highly recommend SpaGo Dog to anyone who wants to have consistently high quality care for their dog.

I LOVE SpaGo Dog!Miki is the best! And Virginia is good, too. I especially love the mobileservice because it's so easy - I work at home - and they work on 1 dog at a time so there's no cage time. Also, it costs the same amount as a visit to a regular place. I think it's a great value!

We found Spa Go Dog a few years ago before they had store and loved having the van come to our home to groom our Shih Tzu. They gave Bella a great haircut, in less time and with no stress to us or our dog. Now we have gone to shop twice and Bella loves going there! She plays with other dogs in the great space provided (indoor and outside) before and after her haircut. What use to be stressful experience is now a fun day! Miki is professional, sweet and great groomer!

I love SpaGo and highly recommend them. I've only used their mobile grooming service and have found it to be uber convenient, high quality and fairly priced.The first time Miki (the owner) came to groom my dog, I was immediately charmed by her sweetness and enthusiasm. She took one look at my poodle-mix dog (who'd previously gotten a cut from an non-professional friend) and started making suggestion on how improve his style. Apparently, he had quite a dated doggie hairstyle--who knew! Miki took him from uncool to hip & handsome.After Miki opened the store, Virginia started doing the mobile grooming. I was a little worried she wouldn't be as good, but the cut she's given my dog 2 cuts that have been just as great as (or maybe even a bit better than) Miki's!

A terrific service with very fair pricing. My neurotic Maltese is so difficult to groom that he's been rejected by a couple of groomers. However, the wonderful women at SpaGo handle him without complaint, and I love the convenience of curbside service!

This place did an ok job the first time I brought my Havanese in for a bath and grooming. I thought it was because we were new to the area and she needed to get to know my dog better. Two weeks later I brought her in and just wanted a bath and a trim around her face. The owner didn't do the grooming and the person who did didn't even know how to carry my dog. Worse, she shaved her, claiming she was too matted. No way. She gets brushed every day. She didn't even shave her evenly. Her trademark trail has chunks cut out of it. I wouldn't take my kids' stuffed animals to this place for a bath. And it cost $85! Rip off and incompetent!

Mikki is an amazing groomer who easily handles all types of dogs no matter the size or personality. We’ve used her for over 6 years. My pup loves her to pieces!

The owner is one of most devoted dog owners I know. Our dog has been going there since she was 6 or 7 months old now she is almost 4. There hasn’t been a single time I would choose to go anywhere else. They are kind, thoughtful, and always make the perfect cut for your dog. Not only that but every time that my dog leaves she is happy and that is what really matters.

We have always loved the mobile van and this was out first visit in the new store. Torey loved it. After grooming they played ball with him and he was plenty worn out for me. Who doesn't love a tired and happy dog? Especially one that smells and looks so good.Spa Go Dog always grooms to my specifications. We like our Labradoodle long. We keep him well brushed and he is never matted. We have had other groomers cut to an inch short when we asked for face, paws and feet only. Miki does just what we ask, even though it is harder to do it this way. It has to be done by hand instead of electric shears. When Miki is done he looks like a Labradoodle, not a poodle! She does a great job shaping the head. A lot of other groomers just can't get the Labradoodle head right.The store has plenty of your doggie needs also. Great treat selections, toys and other fun doggie things. The front desk person was so nice.

SpaGo Dog has always been incredibly friendly and done a great job on my very anxious jittery pup. NOTHING will be easy for him, including me bathing and trimming him myself. So the house calls - in the truck outside the house - are the best. SpaGo Dog is gentle, compassionate, quick, efficient, and he looks great and feels happy and so perky afterwards. Sometimes they've been done much faster than I expected while I was out running a quick errand, but they have been great and walked him until I got back. You do have to be a little flexible with timing since they can have unexpected time adjustments that day. But they've been minor, and it's way better than all the other house call industries, like plumbers and electricians, who give you a 4-hour range arrival time. I highly recommend!

I brought my 17.5 year old dog to Mikki for grooming after talking to her on the phone. Our prior groomer refused to work on him when he was 15, due to his age, and he has been suffering through my grooming attempts for 2 years.Mikki is absolutely wonderful and well worth the drive from Walnut Creek to Oakland. She is amazing, her kind and gentle way put my dog at ease and the grooming was great. It is hard to work on a very old, blind and deaf dog, but Mikki was great, I strongly recommend SpaGo.

I really love having this option for my 9 month old pup who hates riding in the car. This is the second time I've used the service and have been very pleased each time. The groomers have been kind to my pets and do excellent work. I wholeheartedly recommend SpaGo Dog!

I love SpaGo Dog!! Miki is the best groomer we've had for our Labradoodle and we've tried a few. She is always thorough and gentle and she's been a great communicator all along. Thanks Miki! from Karen and Miro

My mini-labradoodle, Ollie, always goes in a mess and comes out a new dog!Miki has done such a great job taking her mobile service to a brick-and-mortar location. I really appreciate how clean and organized everything is. Easy to get to and always find parking without a problem.

After 2 years of having Miki come to my house to groom my cocker spaniel mix, I just visited her new shop on Broadway in Oakland. It's a great space and I love having an appointment which means not having to leave Reyna caged for several hours as is necessary at most groomers. Reyna doesn't do well in crates and there aren't any at Miki's place, which fits in with our boarding philosophy at Dogs of Berkeley.I recommend Miki and SpaGo Dog to everyone

My 14 year old Westie LOVES SpaGo Dog! We used to use the mobile service and now are so pleased to have the new location next to PetVet to come to! My dog and I both love that he is not put in a cage and he really loved sniffing at all of the products in the store and playing before and after his grooming! I cannot recommend them more highly. My dog had prior bad experiences with groomers but loves, loves, loves having his hair bathed and cut at SpGo Dog!!
