The Shop
One room, two tubs, and a lot of patience.
Blue Ribbon is a small storefront grooming shop on East Foothill Blvd in Pasadena, between santa paula ave and sierra madre villa ave. We take a limited number of dogs each day so nobody waits in a crate longer than they have to.
Every dog is bathed, dried, and finished by the same groomer from start to end — no assembly line, no swapping hands halfway through a cut. That's how we keep nervous dogs calm and how a coat ends up looking even.
Neighbors have rated us 4.5 stars across 39 reviews. Most of our work is repeat business and word of mouth from the surrounding blocks.
Low-stress handling
Breaks, quiet dryers, and no forced restraint. If a dog says no, we stop and try again another day.
Senior & anxious dogs
Shorter appointments, floor drying, and a groomer who sits down to their level.
Humanity over vanity
Severely matted coats get shaved short. Comfort first — the coat always grows back.
