The Empuppyporium - Richmond, California

We adopted a pittie mix a year ago and brought her to the Empuppyporium for her first bath/full grooming experience and never looked back. The dogs free roam while they're not undergoing service so it's a puppy party all day. I don't know what kind of bathing magic they do on Charlie, but she smells so good for so long after her grooming. I cannot recommend Ben and the Empuppyporium team enough - and neither can Charlie.

Been getting my husky shepherd mix groomed here the past couple years. They are phenomenal! My dog sheds so much but he comes back so clean, smelling so good, and most importantly the shedding stops for a good while till it starts again. Hard to trust groomers but you guys can trust these guys ? percent! Keep up the great work. Also they are extremely flexible with booking, sometimes I call the same day, or the day before and they are able to take him.

I cannot say enough positive things about Ben and his crew. They treat our dog Barry like their very own, and Barry is so excited every time we approach the front door of Empuppyporium that he literally barrels through the door to jump into Ben's arms. The staff is professional, warm, and friendly. The facility is clean, the dogs have plenty of water and a giant picture window to sunbathe in, and they also have an outdoor covered dog run. Never a dull moment for these dogs.
I appreciate the reasonable prices and the flexibility Ben offers in pick-up and drop-off times. It's clear that Ben runs his business based on his core values and his commitment to the community he operates his business in. He will treat you and your dog like both a client and a neighbor. Highly recommend!!!

We took our 10 month Bernedoodle puppy here for his first grooming and it was so great! He had some matting and wasn’t very tolerant of getting brushed or groomed, but they did a fantastic job for a very reasonable price.

We dropped him off and he was ready 4 hours later, with great communication from the owner. Our dog seemed very happy when we picked him up, and we could tell he really liked the staff there. They let the dogs play with each other instead of being locked in a crate and I think that really helped him feel less stressed.

Thank you so much! We’ll be back!

I don’t go as often as I should but they did the BEST job grooming my sweet little corgi! They are friendly, clean and very reasonably priced. I would recommend to anyone who loves their dog as much as I do!!!!

I was reaching out on behalf of a friend to get information about grooming services through my work. The owner or whoever answered the phone called me disingenuous and hung up the phone on me and said i was "misleading" even though i was providing his business as a referral. make sure to never call this place to ask questions because apparently that's considered rude.

Great groomer. Dogs get to stay out of cages and play. Have been coming back over and over again to ensure my dog looks and feels great. Photo of my dog a day after grooming.

Amazing people
I have a rescue rescue that turns into a different monster when she sees grooming in her future.
Ben came out my very first visit gently but confidently took her from my arms and simply said he will call when she’s done.
She came out unstressed and happy.
Reasonable price and well done on every level.
