◈ Homepage — http://leadingthepackoakland.com/Home (current) New & Returning Clients Services Reviews Gallery Contact Us   WELCOME TO OUR PACK! Leading the Pack Pet Salon — your go-to destination for exceptional pet grooming services.  Located in the historical Temescal neighborhood of Oakland.   CONTACT US   Leading The Pack Pet Salon  Personalized Grooming for Your Dog’s Health and Well-Being Welcome to Leading the Pack — a grooming salon in the East Bay Area where your dog’s comfort, health, and emotional well-being come first. We offer more than just grooming. Every appointment is a calm, individualized experience designed to reduce stress and support your dog’s overall wellness. With a focus on skin health, gentle handling, and behavior-aware care, we make grooming a positive part of your dog’s routine — not a chore.   What Makes Us Different One Dog at a Time Your dog receives our full attention from start to finish. No assembly lines, no distractions — just dedicated, individualized care. No Kennels. No Waiting. We don’t use cages or crates. Your dog is groomed promptly and sent home right after — no long, stressful stays. Wellness-Focused Grooming We use high-quality, pH-balanced products chosen to support your dog’s skin and coat health — especially for pets with sensitivities or chronic conditions. Low-Stress Handling Our grooming approach is guided by your dog’s comfort level. We’re trained in gentle, behavior-informed techniques that reduce anxiety and build trust. Safe, Thoughtful Environment From our hypoallergenic products to the clean, quiet layout of our salon, every detail is designed with your dog’s safety and comfort in mind. Our Services Client Information Testimonials Portfolio We understand that grooming can be a stressful experience for some dogs, especially those with special needs. That’s why we take a gentle, one-on-one approach, providing personalized care in a calm and supportive environment. Your dog’s comfort and well-being are our top priorities. If your pet has skin issues, we include any necessary shampoos, conditioners, medicated soaks, or therapeutic scrubs at no extra charge—because essential care should never come with an added cost. If your dog needs extra time, patience, or specialized products, we're here to help. Give us a call to discuss how we can make their grooming experience as stress-free and comfortable as possible. We take pride in being able to work with any pet: - Puppies getting used to the grooming process - Senior pets - Pets with special needs - Fearful, nervous, or feisty pets We want both you and your beloved pet to have an exceptional experience; that's why we always keep you informed of any changes in your dog's health or behavior while in our care.      Puppy Intro Session   A puppy’s first grooming experience sets the tone for how they’ll feel about grooming in the future—and we believe it should be a positive one. Our Puppy Intro Session is designed to gently introduce your pup to the sights, sounds, and sensations of the grooming process without pressure or force. We take our time and move at your puppy’s pace, helping them build confidence and comfort in a calm, supportive environment. Because many puppies aren’t ready to sit through a full grooming session—including a full haircut—on their first visit, we focus on creating a stress-free, positive experience rather than rushing through the process. Forcing a full groom too soon can lead to fear and anxiety, which we always strive to avoid. We also offer a Puppy Package to support your pup’s grooming journey—just ask us for details!

Alma and her team do such a great job with my bernedoodle. We’ve been coming since he was a puppy and would highly recommend!" Tessa Lueth ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ "Alma and her staff are extremely caring, kind, and dedicated individuals. Their love for dogs, their commitment to safety, and pleasant customer service is unmatched in this area. I trust them implicitly with my pets and can’t recommend their service enough. Prices are competitive and reasonable, and their work speaks for itself. Great eye for detail and knowledge that comes from a ton of experience. And it shows! I can count on them each and every time!" Kody Monigold ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ "Best groomer ever! No all day drop offs that are stressful for you pet, they do everything in about an hour and there are no closed doors or out-of-sight moments. Really great prices and Caitlyn is SO patient with my feisty pup. The boutique is awesome, too, tons of treats, accessories, natural products, and toys." Dallas Kane ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ "Love love LOVE leading the pack. After having some not so great experiences with groomers who were apprehensive about grooming/nail trimming our scared pit mix, Caitlyn was so gentle, patient and sweet that I'm glad we didn't just settle on the fact that nail trims were going to be uncomfortable for all parties involved. DEFINITELY making this our regular spot - she also trimmed our 3yr old Australian Shepherd's nails in a matter of minutes :)." Grecia Perez ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ "Brian is a dog whisperer! So calming and caring. We have now brought our 8 month old mini labradoodle to Brian twice and both times she has walked out more adorable than ever. We walked her down College Avenue in Elmwood and within minutes had two people asking where she gets her fur cut. Thank you Brian for always putting us at ease." soccerbob26 ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ "This place is perfect. It’s hard to find a place that hand strips a dog. Went to other groomers who claim they handstrip yet they clearly use clippers. The groomer was honest and transparent which is rare. I travel from the Fremont area and really dont mind knowing my dog is properly groomed." Tina Paclebar ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ "I recommend this place to everyone who asks about grooming. They're great at what they do - easy to communicate with - and patient with the dogs. Plus they even offer hand stripping for those of us with wire-haired dogs!" Jessica Humphrey ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ "Before Brian groomed my dog, people would ask, "what kind of dog is that??" After one session, my dog's true beauty as a black standard Schnauzer came out. I bow before Brian's greatness as a groomer!" lorraine aochi ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ "Brian did a great job and our pup looked great and was happy when he came home. We will become regular customers now!" Dana Fox ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ "Loved the ability to make a reservation online. Great location and shop. My very matted puppy was very happy to get a good grooming. We hope to be regular customers!"
