What we stand for

It's more than just grooming. It's our art form.

Gentle & safe

Comfort first, every visit.

Calm rooms, slow handling, and one pet at a time so cats and dogs feel safe — not stressed. No all-day waits, no rushed hands.

Precision & craft

Hand-finished by experienced groomers.

Reputation built groom by groom. Scissor finishing on every cut, a real eye for line and proportion, and the patience to do it right — because grooming, done well, is an art form.

Community & value

Honest prices for high-end work.

We've been part of this neighborhood for decades and we want to stay accessible. Quality stays high, prices stay fair, and you'll always know what you're paying for before we start.

Kind words from kind humans.

If you’re looking for great dog grooming in Santa Monica, I highly recommend The Pet Affaire.

My dog Hemingway has been groomed many times over the years, but I have honestly never seen him look this good. His coat was beautifully trimmed, his paws were perfectly cleaned up, and even the little details around his face and ears were done with real care.

What impressed me the most was how calm and happy he was when I picked him up. Anyone with a dog knows that says a lot about the way they’re treated during grooming.

There are countless options for dog grooming in Los Angeles, but the level of care, attention to detail, and kindness toward the dogs here really stands out. Hemingway will definitely be back.

We absolutely love The Pet Affaire! We’ve been using them for over 30 years with multiple dogs and their service is unbeatable. All of our dogs have always looked forward to going there and they always look amazing when they come home. The owners are wonderful and I wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. My new little guy loved his first grooming and it’s nice to know he will look forward to going just as much! They treat you like family and they really care! Thank you so much for all the amazing work you do!

I love bringing my dog here. The owner is so kind and welcoming. Even though my dog has anxiety, he always has a good experience and doesn’t mind coming back.
