So proud to announce that Sharp Dressed Pets was ranked #1 for best grooming salon in El Cajon for 2025! Thank you to all my clients for your continued support and patronage! My small business means so much to me and I’m so glad I can bring excellent care and service to all of my clients both new and the ones who have seen me through the thick and thin. From working out of the bed of my truck- then a van- then a new van- now this amazing brick and mortar! We look forward to 2026!!

PSA!
Do you have a Furminator?
Throw it in the garbage. 🚮️ 🚮

People always tell me "it works so good!”

A Furminator is a blade. I have attached a picture of a super short grooming blade next to the Furminator blade for comparison.. The only reason you think it works so well and you pull so much hair is because it's actually cutting your dog's fur. Cut the good hair, top coat, and leave lasting damage, which you may not notice at first or ever, but it’s definitely causing damage and your pup’s fur will start to get shorter and thinner.

I have never used or will never use a Furminator on my clients dogs and do not recommend them EVER!

Be kind during the holiday rush! We are overstimulated and under caffeinated!
Anxiety trigger for almost all groomers that we never talk about.
The dreaded question...how long will this take.
45 minutes to 4 plus hours 🤷‍♀️
Scenario
You have a 10 am for Fluff Butt cutie pants.
You come in we talk and if all goes well you pick up Fluff Butt around 12:30... in the mean time... we wash fluff butt and get him drying and the noon appointment shows up at 11:15 so you stop to check them in and chat. You come back to and Fluff Butt has p*ed a river and and is covered in p**p and p*e. So the new dog is put up and Fluff butt is pulled out for another bath. You start bathing and you are covered in soap and someone comes in.
The person to pick up their dog that was ready at 10:30 is here.
You chit chat check them out but you can't start your noon because you have to start over on Fluff.
You are almost done with fluff and the owners call to see why it is taking so long.
All your concentration is on Fluff now.
Your Noon is still not started and you have another dog coming in soon.
You are full of anxiety and rushing which will cause you to send out a bad groom.
Then the phone rings....
Lastly in walks in a dog that isn't matted according to the owner he gets there and welp matted and very territorial of personal space so you have to spend 10 minutes coaxing him out a kennel.
See how this can snowball quick.

I promise we never are trying to keep your dog longer than they should be here.
Nothing happened today but it does every week.
I have heard lots of complaints about my last groomer kept them all day.
Even in the best run grooming salon it happens.
The variables are great.
I promise will will let you know if we have an issue and when they are ready :)

With the holiday season in full swing, we’re experiencing higher-than-normal appointment volumes. Because of this, turnaround times may vary, even if we’ve given you an estimate.

Please wait for our text notification before coming to pick up your pet — we do often run a little behind, as every dog is different and unpredictable.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding! 🐾💛
