Drummond’s Pet Grooming - Alameda, California

We were looking for our new groomer when we moved to the area and we found them! I took my Bernadoodle here for her regular grooming and she came back looking perfect and well taken care of. I especially like the efficient pickup and drop off so she’s never waiting there too long. I also took my second dog in for a nail trim and it was the first time he hasn’t screamed from the drama. Will be taking my dogs here regularly!

Our pup Rango has greatly benefited from the exceptional care provided by Nicholas at Drummond Grooming. His extensive experience and genuine care for all the pets he grooms is undeniable. Rango always gets picked up looking good and feeling good.
I highly recommend this business for top-notch pet grooming!

Several of the Bay Farm Island dogs we walk get groomed by Nicolas. The dogs look so great and the clients love him so much that I went by to meet him and was very impressed.
I watched him for awhile and since the first time have been by several times and watched him work, (you can see him groom from outside the shop,) and Nicolas is very gentle and respectful with the dogs. I thought he brought something special to the (grooming) table (pun intended,) and I found out that he has studied canine massage and incorporates those techniques in his grooming and bathing. Awesome.
Recently I brought my my almost-15-year-old pug to him for a bathing session since he'd been scratching even though we were up to date on his flea treatment, and afterwards he seemed very relaxed and was walking more smoothly. It turns out that's because he had his hips and pelvis released! Nicolas showed me that one of his ears had an infection and he'd cleaned it out. We went to the vet on his recommendation.
My pug's fur is fluffier than usual, which is great since I pet and love on him constantly, and I so appreciate that my little old guy had his own bodywork session! Now I understand why my clients are raving about Nicolas. I've met many groomers in my 15+ years of dog walking, and he's the truly the one I like the best.

Nicholas is short of a magician. We avoided cutting our little terrier’s nails due to the terror it brought her even getting near a groomer. He was quick, professional and efficient. The best part was seeing how calm she was coming out of there with a full nail trim in less than 10 minutes! This guy is amazing. We will remain loyal customers!

Nick was beyond amazing. I brought my partner"s 11 yr old Pomeranian to him for his 1st grooming. Initially Nick called to tell me Ringo had bit him several times, but was so kind as he told me. I offered to come get him, apologizing, beyond dismayed. Instead of agreeing Nick said he would try again as he reassured me. 10 minutes later I got a text that everything was going better than expected and Ringo had settled down. When I came to pick up the dog, Ringo was prancing around happy, clean and looking great. Nick explained everything he had done (even noting something the vet had missed regarding a potential ingrown nail). Not only do I HIGHLY recommend Nick, but definitely be a repeat customer. As we left, we ran into another dog and owner. In conversation it came up Ringo had just been groomed. The woman exclaimed "Oh by Nick? Isn't he the greatest?"

It was a miracle that we found such and outstanding groomer. We had tried several outlets with no luck. All the other places, including the Vet said our pup (2yr old German Shepherd) was too sensitive to get nails trimmed. He would panic and pee. Also we’d get him back after they did bathe him and our house would be full of hair because they didn’t brush him out afterwards. So I wasn’t real confident when I brought him here. Boy was I wrong, I received some pics of our dog being blow dried with the owners dogs laying on floor. Our dog was super relaxed. When I picked him up he was clean, nails trimmed and blown dry. We have now found our go to place for Tucker.

Other reviews are spot on. Nicholas is amazing. Could not imagine a better grooming experience.

He knew exactly how to trim my Australian Shepherd - a true professional!

Nicholas is wonderful with our dog Leia. She is not a fan of grooming and can be pretty grouchy around strangers. Nicholas knows how to calm her down- even the first time he met her. We are so appreciative of his awesome grooming expertise.
