We love bringing our puppy here! The team is really friendly and clearly love what they do. Alma always takes the time to listen to exactly how we want our dog's fur trimmed, and she does a fantastic job. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in good hands - they take great care of her and make the whole experience stress-free. Highly recommend!

We have taken our two small dogs to groomers all across the Bay Area and Alma & Team are by far the BEST!! Outstanding work all around!! Thank you, Alma & Team for keeping our girls clean and pretty!

First time coming to this grooming salon and let me tell you that it was absolutely awesome. My girl Lola came back smelling so good and had the best haircut ever in her 5 years of being groomed. The price was a bit more than what I am used to but worth every penny. The staff was so friendly and salon is clean and doesn’t smell like other grooming place I’ve taken my Lola to. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you Leading the Pack for taking care of my Lola!

I had an excellent experience with Leading the Pack. Alma provides a personalized and attentive service by only taking a few dogs at a time, ensuring the grooming process is completed in under two hours. I prefer this approach over leaving my dog in a facility with many other dogs for an entire day, which can cause stress and reduce the quality of care. I highly recommend Alma's services for anyone looking for a more individualized and stress-free experience for their dog.

My dog told me with his eyes that he wanted a new groomer. We'd had issues with a previous groomer he'd gone to for years, so I was skeptical about trusting a new shop. By chance, we met a woman and her similarly aged Yorkie while on a walk, and she said nothing but good things about Leading the Pack. A week later we were there. We met with Brian, who was kind and very gentle with my older, (13+ year old) Yorkie. In about an hour my dog was sweet smelling and properly groomed. An added bonus--my usually anxious furry friend was calm and playful after his shampoo and cut. Both my dog and I had an overall great experience. The shop is well put together and the staff is friendly. Thank you, Leading The Pack!
