Groomingdale’s Pet Salon sits in downtown Kelseyville, right in the heart of Wine Country, and has been a steady presence for over 15 years. They handle dogs and cats of all sizes, which means whether you’ve got a tiny Chihuahua or a big Golden Retriever, they know what they’re doing.

The staff here actually takes time with each dog. They’re not rushing through appointments or treating it like an assembly line. You can tell when you drop your dog off that they’re genuinely comfortable handling pets—they talk to your dog, move at a reasonable pace, and don’t treat the experience like something stressful. That matters a lot when you’re leaving your dog in someone else’s care.

What works well is their flexibility with grooming styles. If you want just a basic bath and nail trim, they’ll do that. If you’re looking for something more involved—detailed breed cuts, hand-stripping, creative styling—they can handle that too. The groomer will actually listen to what you want rather than steering you toward their default package.

The salon itself is clean and organized, which you notice immediately when you walk in. It’s a small, local operation rather than a chain, so there’s less of that corporate feel and more of a genuine neighborhood vibe. The staff remembers your dog on repeat visits, which is always nice.

If you’re staying in the area or just need grooming while you’re exploring Lake County, this is a solid choice. They’re experienced enough to work with anxious dogs or those with special needs, and they genuinely seem to care about the animals coming through the door. You can reach them through their Facebook page if you want to see photos of their work or ask specific questions before booking.
