Came in last minute for a nail trim. Super friendly staff. I’ve always done my dogs nails but for some reason my Dalmatian started giving me a hard time when Id do her nails at home. She’ll let me trim a couple nails a day and by the end of the week, Im lucky if I have two paws done. I took her to Essential Grooming and she wined a little but did great with the groomer and was finished with all four paws in minutes. Totally worth paying to have it done! Shop is super cute too🐶

Pat does an amazing job grooming our Westie, Freddie, especially with his breed-specific haircut. Her prices are fair, and the grooming facility is clean and well-organized. The staff’s friendliness adds to the great experience. Highly recommend Pat for top-notch pet grooming!

We love essential grooming. Belle has been getting her haircut by Jessica for over 6 years, she is the best. Love picking up my pup looking and feeling her best. We request the full groom with the upgraded premium spa bath. That not only includes what's included (ears, nails, glands, shampoo, full cut, dry, bandana, perfume) it also adds paw treatment, deep conditioner, tooth brushing and a berry facial which leaves her beard smelling fresh for weeks even after treats. Take your pup or kitty in for a walk in nail trim or brush out when you're at the dog park located right behind the salon.

Update:I just wanted to say again how much I appreciate this groomer I needed an appointment for a flea bath very last minute (so we could get the dogs together one last time) calling a half hour before they opened and they were able to give us the appointment. Thank you so much for taking good care of Cans as well as our now Angel fur baby Cortana.I really like this groomer. They look forward to seeing our dog, and after her appointment, she looks and smells wonderful, and I think what you get in the deluxe bath is really great for the price.

Jessica has been the most attentive, warm, loving, and skilled groomer I have ever been to. She has been grooming my 1.5 year old poodle since the beginning and we just love her! She pours her heart and soul into her practice, and you can absolutely tell it is her passion! I am NEVER disappointed when I pick up my baby girl, and my 3 month old poodle will soon be seeing her as well on the regular. So very thankful to have found her.🙏 Thank you for blessing us and so many others with your wonderful expertise, knowledge, and 5 STAR care!

I took my two frenchies to Essential grooming after always heading to chain pet stores for nail trims. It cost me nothing to upgrade to a spa package for them both the be bathed, nails, ears and anal glands done. The staff were wonderful and even spent time playing with toys with my two girls. They came home smelling absolutely amazing! It’s been a week and I swear they still smell so fresh! I will forever continue to go to essential grooming now!

Great job on my dog's nails. Friendly atmosphere. We found Essential Grooming by seeing a post on Facebook, and we had just moved out of Santee. We'll be coming from chula Vista from now on.

Best experience ever! Took my feisty cat there to get mats out. I was so nervous because he rarely lets anyone brush him. The team at Essential Grooming and Wellness is amazing. They were able to get the mats out, cut his nails, and brush him with so much care and expertise! They knew exactly what to do and he was done so fast. Everyone was amazing. The shop is so clean and set up well. And the prices were great too! I will definitely go back. Highly recommend!

Always get fantastic results when we bring our miniture poodle "Jet" in for grooming. The best part is Jet loves to go. They must take great care of him during his visits

Jessica and her crew are the best!! I take my dog Ross and my cat Sir Whisker to get groomed and they do exactly what I ask them to do!! And they are so nice and sweet to my fur babies! We wouldn’t go anywhere else.

This is by far the best grooming salon I have ever been to. Everyone is so nice and do a fantastic job with my dog. They made sure to understand what kind of haircut my dog wanted and even when I got a new puppy has taken the time to make him comfortable with grooming. I feel very fortunate to have found them. I love how they make my dogs feel special and I am not worried when I drop them off or call for an appointment !! If there were awards for dog grooming this one deserves the academy award

If I could give 0 stars I would. Do not take your bully breeds here they have no clue how to handle them. My English bulldog is traumatized from this place. Now off to find a better place that knows how to handle bully breeds. If you are looking to find a place to take your dog I recommend taking them somewhere else

What a great experience!!!! our golden, Peaches, gets a bit nervous at the groomers. The staff was patient and made her completely comfortable. When she was done she looked and felt amazing. Can‘t say enough about Jessica and her staff. We will be back soon.

So happy with my experience here! Both of my pups were well taken care of and looked great after their baths. Caitlin was awesome and patient with my anxious old pup who had never been to a groomer before. Will definitely be back!

Jessica used to groom our dogs at a previous business she worked for years ago, and we are so glad we found her shop! The staff is so friendly and knew exactly how to handle our overly excited dog. Both dogs came out looking amazing and HAPPY!

My first time visiting a groomers. It was to give my 2yr Black Labrador Harley a full Dalon Treatment. Pricing was Very affordable. Harley got nails trimmed, paw pad condition treatment, ears cleaned, shamp/condition/ blow-dry + deshedding= $100.Along with a cute bow tie and lots of love. The groomers are very knowledgeable and gentle. They love your dog as if he/she were their own.I will be coming back every 3mo for the same treatment. I highly recommend for big breed dogs since my black lab is around 100lbs.

Love this Doggy Spa!! They do an excellent job with my Australian Shepherd, and are very reasonably priced. They clearly love their "clients" and take excellent care of them. My Pup had an infection about a year back (completely unrelated to her wonderful care at their business) and they called several times to check in on her and make sure she was okay. I can't say enough amazing things about this place!

This place is great. We have been going her for years ever since our dog was a puppy. They had a groomer that was really good at calming our pup down cause he was really anxious when getting groomed. When she retired they quickly we're able to find someone who could groom him no problem. We even met a lady that drives Al the way from Arizona every few months to have her dogs groomed because she used to live here and her dogs love this place.

This was our usual spot until our last visit... The groomer and receptionist did not inform me that they had clipped one of our cat's claws a bit too short and she bled, UNTIL AFTER I had paid. I'm not a confrontational person so I just accepted it then... We have decided to go to a new groomer due to this.

Just picked up my extremely grumpy, biting, old man Cujo dog. I've had a hard time even getting his nails clipped because he won't cooperate. Took him to Essential Grooming for a bath, fully expecting the usual call to come back and pick him up. Natalie and crew did a fantastic job and he looks beautiful!
