I love the owner here. She does a great job with my wiggly dog and she takes great care with Darling’s sensitive skin. I’m very happy!

First time customer, first time going to a groomers, found this place off of Unilocal and gave this place a try. I wish I didn’t. I won’t be going back. Even if they were awarded by the news or something like that.
I called them in the morning and was able to get my little boy shihtzu in at 12pm, I got my dog back around 5:30pm after I called them. They told me 3 to 4 hours at first and at 5 hours mark, I got nervous and called them. They told me he’ll be ready in 30 minutes. They were nice and knew their dog information. So one star to that.
The haircut on his body is short (just like how I asked for) because it’ll grow back quickly! So half a star to that. However, they cut his stomach and groin area too short and his face/​paws/​body is uneven and choppy. I noticed some patches are short and some are longer. Now parts of his body are irritated and red. I’m so scared and nervous. He’s in the cone of shame now so he cannot keep scratching his eyes and face. One more thing, his paws are not rounded, it kind of sticks up like the grinch’s feet!
Also, he hasn’t been acting the same since the groomers. I just hope he heals quickly!

I’ve taken my dog to probably 3 other places in West Seattle for her usual nail clippings and gland squeezing. Out of every where, this place is the most affordable and does a fantastic job. I recently took Mary Jane in for a wash, nail clipping, gland squeeze, and teeth brushing. All of that came to $ 30 where as I used to pay $ 21 at a place closer to my house JUST for the nail clipping. I will continue to bring MJ here — her nails stay shorter longer and my wallet appreciates it. :)

We started using this groomer for our Shih Tzu and most recently our Wheaten Terrier for the last 1.5 years. They’ve done great work with both of our dogs and we continue to go back every couple months. The dogs are there for most of the day and they call you when they’ve finished. They’re always busy but it’s not too hard to get an appointment within a week, which I like. Occasionally, they cut the dogs shorter than I feel like I requested, which is the reason I’m not giving them a 5 star review. Other than that though, the cuts have always been good and the dogs come out happy and sporting cute bows and bandanas. I would recommend them!

I wish I could give them a better rating. We gave them 2 chances. The last time was awful. One side of our dogs face was longer than the other and she didn’t look clipped. It was rather choppy and she didn’t smell like she had been bathed. So, am looking for a new groomer.

Although my two short-​haired bulldogs don’t require regular grooming, I visit Canine Casa to get their nails trimmed. The ladies at Canine Casa clip their nails speedily and inexpensively. And they’re friendly, too. Best yet, parking’s easy and convenient to visit before (or after) breakfast at Endolyne Joe’s. Yay!

Canine Casa is still the BEST place to get your puppy/​dog groomed in Seattle! They really care and are very gentle with the pets who come in! My two Havanese always get compliments on their hair cuts! I was thinking about it because I have to make an appointment for my 2 little dogs coming up here soon!

Love the ladies here and so does my pup… he gets his «manicures» and some special bath/​blow dry to limit shedding… which btw is AHMAZING… he always comes home happy handsome boy! :) Love staying in west seattle and keeping places like this busy and a 5 star review! Thanks girls.

They do a great job grooming my 2 some times poorly behaved dogs. I can’t even clip one nail without them loosing their minds, yet the ladies that do the grooming get them looking great. I don’t know how they do it! Reasonable prices $ 45 – 55 per dog. They even groomed my cat once successfully.

Canine Casa is a great local business. I can’t say too many good things about this doggie bath house. I almost never call in advance and they usually can squeeze Zippy in for a bath. She comes out clean and smelling nice. I am surprised that there seem to be a some bad experiences there. I’ve never had any issues and my cattle dog is very anxious and shy and they treat her exceptionally well.

Overpriced, horrible cut/​groom, and they do not follow instructions.
I took my cocker spaniel in for a groom with express written instructions that he receive a cocker cut. Instead they shaved one year’s worth of growth off of his side featherings. They told me he was too matted, which is not true as we thoroughly combed him immediately before taking him in. Further, the cutting they did was extremely uneven and looks home-​done. I will not return. A sign in the window says «help wanted». No kidding.

It’s not bad, but it isn’t great. They charge what I assume is average towards cheap — 45 bucks for a small long haired dog.
but both times I’ve gone there (recently received a badly behaved 9 y/​o grumpy Maltese) they had to «look up» the haircut I asked for and corrected me on the name. When both times, both cuts were called by several different names.
It’s like going into a Starbucks asking for a tall and they correct you saying «I figured out it was twelve ounces. Thats what you were really asking for.»
Okaay. Now they were gentle with him but one of his ears wasn’t finished when I dropped him off for HOURS.
I didn’t catch it until I was in the car. I just don’t have the energy to describe someone their job. I am NOT a fan of giving someone detailed instructions on something that should be basic. I just go some other place. There are at least three more dog groomers on California.

We were in town visiting friends and had taken Obi, our yellow lab puppy to the dog park and was a muddy mess. We had planned to go to breakfast at the place next door. So the dog would rest in the car as we ate, but to my surprise as we drove in the parking lot there was two ladies outside of Canine Casa. I asked if they had time to give Obi a bath while we were eating, they did. It costs us $ 25 plus a tip and he smelled great and was so soft, all while we had a great breakfast.
I would agree with the other reviews that the place could have been a bit cleaner but the staff was great and Obi seemed to enjoy himself.

We decided to give this place another try, as they had scalped our beloved Goldendoodle the last time. We specifically told them not to touch his tail. They said his hair was terribly matted, so they had to take it all off — even his tail, which wasn’t matted at all. Now it looks like a rat’s tail. He’s been to another groomer who had the patience to work with his matted hair, and charged $ 45, not $ 85. Unfortunately, this was in Oregon. It may be worth the drive, though.

I stop in here about once a month to get my dog Indiana’s nails trimmed. They take walk-​ins, only charge $ 5 and have a frequent buyers card. What’s not to like about that? They are always friendly and do a fine job. Parking can be a little dodgy sometimes with the lot shared with Endolyne Joe’s. There’s usually plenty of street parking around though.

I really wanted to like this place. I read over ten great reviews on another website. Unfortunately, I was not impressed. First of all, they charge $ 80 or $ 85 for grooming a cat (which meant a lion cut shave.) That is the most that I’ve ever paid, so I figured this must be a really nice place. I was so wrong. I normally take my cat into the Dog Spa of Seattle (they are wonderful), but I couldn’t wait, so I thought I’d take my cat somewhere close to home.
This place was dirty and smelled so badly. After 3 – 4 hours they called me to say that she was done. When I walked in to get her, there were many dogs in there, many people, and it stunk to high heaven. With such chaos and noise I wondered how my poor cat was doing. They seemed to sense my horror, and said, oh she’s in the cat room. What cat room?
And for all that time and money, they didn’t even do a good job on my cat. She was mostly shaved for crying out loud, but her hair wasn’t even cut straight.
This was a horrible experience and I would never take any pet back here.

I took my dog here a few month ago to get a standard «puppy cut». I warned the groomer that my dog doesn’t do well with baths and such… She said he would be done within 3 hours or so. After 4 hours, we call and they say he’s still not ready. After 5 hours, still no call. At the 5 ½ hour mark, we went there anyway – he was ready. They acted very strange when we were there and till this day, I have no idea why it took so long. There was only one other dog there and 2 groomers. My dog was left in a back room for God knows how long. Because of this awful experience, I’ve decided to cut my dogs hair on my own and will never recommend this place to anyone.
Btw, my dog is a small poodle mix and at the time of grooming, was just under a year old. He is not aggressive but is afraid of large vacuum looking hairdryers.

Caring groomers who love what they do. I have 3 — Chi-​terriers –That all get groomed at Canine Casa– they always look great after they are groomed. Kim and Cherie are two very caring animal people that know their dog clients well… and very patient. They work very hard at their craft to please their customers and owners.
Just ask my shy terrier Olive. When Olive first started going to Canine Casa she was so nervous she pooped. 4 visits later she sits proud as if to say «look at me getting all pretty» Olive even lets her nails get trimmed with out biting… that’s a leap in itself… Cherie helps local rescues by offering free grooming to help rescues and homeless dogs get adopted .She is a caring groomer with a heart of gold… or should I say «dog treats» Cherie will stays after work at times to groom rescue dogs now that’s dedication… Oh and don’t forget the cats…
Cats are always first in the morning so dogs don’t stress them out. (Smart thinking)

Gus, our Golden, went into Canine Casa today and he came back a new dog! I could hardly recognize him. His coat was getting out of control and way too hot for the recent weather we’d been having. I half-​expected him to come back with a Marine buzz cut, but they did a bang-​up job with Gus. He looked great. Clean, trimmed, shaven, clipped. They even cleaned the inside of his ears, and sent him home with an adorable red bandana around his neck. Will definitely go here again. Thanks, guys!

Very good groomer. Nice to the animals and good at grooming. Not all places have both qualities, trust me I know. I used to own this place for 9 years. I sold it to my groomer and she to hers when she had to move. I still go there. Cherie, the now owner/​groomer is very good. I totally trust in them. Go there-​you won’t regret it.
I know they are closed Sundays and Mondays.
