    Front burn

    We've been bringing shelter dogs to groomers all over the Treasure Valley for the last 13 years. We settled here in Meridian and have been using this groomer's establishment for about three years due to the price and location. Compared to other dogs we've adopted, our current two absolutely hate being groomed. When we've brought them home, they've had nicks, uneven cuts, missed nail trimmings and seemed completely out of sorts after being picked up. We've let it go based on their finicky temperaments but now we're second guessing our decision to disregard these signs. Here are pics of our Havanese from his last appointment. His whole side and front are burned... badly. My husband picked them up and was too shocked to say anything or ask questions. When I called for more details, the owner answered the phone and at first blamed my dog for leaning against the dryer. This particular dog is the most timid animal we've ever owned and if anything he would be huddled in a corner away from the dryer. When I pointed this out, she blamed the new bather and how she scolded her afterwards for not paying attention. When I said I'm not blaming anyone I just want to understand what happened to my dog, she blamed me for being a customer, not a groomer and therefore not understanding how things worked. Granted, I concluded by saying I shouldn't be charged for the appointment and she said if I needed to take my dog to the vet for treatment she would pay for that but not refund the service, if I didn't take him to the vet she would refund me the grooming fee. I completely understand mistakes happen but her belligerent attitude made a bad situation that much worse. First, I've dealt with many dogs and many groomers. I've never had this issue, so yes, I've never had to deal with a defensive groomer who turned her business error on me. Second, this adopted dog was a gift from my brother one month before he died from cancer. I'm sure everyone knows that our pets become our family in many different ways. This shy animal trusts me to take care of him and I betrayed that trust by continuously taking him to a woman who clearly lacks rational communication skills and empathy. A simple I'm sorry this happened would have gone a long way but her attitude indicated she rates profit more importantly than our pets. I'm kicking myself. Other dog owners have rated this business well, but the truth is 90% of people will walk away from bad business practices without complaining. These pics are evidence that you may not be getting what you entrust this establishment for.

    You can see the burn on her tail here.

    We've taken our dog to Classi K-9 Clips around 5 times. They charge $50 to groom my goldendoodle which is by far the cheapest in the valley. I'm not particular at all when it comes to grooming - as long as she smells decent and doesn't have mats after she comes out, I'm happy. But for the past few times, she's come out with cuts and burns and they never mention it to me or my husband when we pick her up. This last time, she has had a hard time sitting down and I couldn't figure out why until I saw her tail. There are huge burn marks ALL OVER the underside of it. Any professional would know that they need to cool down the razor every once and a while. Spend the extra money and go elsewhere.

    He is shaved half way up his back.

    There is not one good thing to say about my experience with this groomer. When I took my dog home after being "groomed", my husband asked who had run our dog over with a lawnmower. He looks absolutely terrible! Not only did she cut off twice as much fur as I had asked, which left him almost shaved, it is incredibly uneven. It can't even be called being "groomed", just "insulted". On his left side he his shaved half way up his back. Just awful! Stay away from this so-called groomer.

    We love this place! Our pup comes home with a good looking cut and the best is that it's reasonably priced! Our "go-to" place!

Dropping her off at the previous groomers, she'd have those sad puppy-dog eyes and a somewhat panicked behavior as I was leaving her. Not like leaving a child at kindergarten, but more like she knew she was gonna get hurt. When I'd pick her up she acted like she was making a jailbreak. She probably would have drug me out of the place if she could. That is not a joke - she would have. Last time after being home awhile, I discovered dried blood in the fur of her ears. She'd been more and more fearful with every grooming drop-off and suddenly I had evidence of why. That was what prompted me to look for another spot and the good reviews convinced me to give Groomingtails a try and we are very pleased with their treatment of our pup and their work. Here's something amazing I have to add: I don't know why but ever since her grooming, when it is rainy and I bring the pup in and I give her a quick dry with a bath towel SHE SMELLS FRESH WITH THE SCENT SHE HAD FROM LAST GROOMING! I am floored. She is about to have her next grooming and that still works weeks after her last grooming. THAT, is lasting results! And her teeth were pure-white when they were done! Now she wants to drink her coffee through a straw,... oh, wait, that's my wife that does that! Anyway, yeah, it cost more but she's treated gently and the job is done well and I don't feel like I am handing her over to be tortured! I just hope their prices don't go up anytime soon! Peace of mind, Baby!

She…read moredidn't answer her phone or text me back at 7 am, when my appointment had been planned for weeks. She had moved and she had a story about her alarm not going off. I never got the grooming that day. I gave her another chance. Today I arrived at 7:07, due to getting stuck waiting to get out of my driveway by the garbage truck. Another groomer told me, as I entered that Roxanne had already left and said she was not waiting for me, since I was late. The good news is another amazing business All About Paws got us right in and gave our schnauzer the best cut she has ever had!! Sometimes things work out! I am just disappointed Roxanne couldn't call me herself and be professional! I don't think it was fair to the other groomer, who is an independent contractor, to have to tell me my groomer I waited 2 weeks to see was unable to be an adult and talk to me herself. Kind of like when I called and called her in the parking lot, while she slept. Lucky for me I have a better, more professional groomer that knows how to cut a schnauzer and communicate. They have already said- they can get me in 2-3 days from requesting an appointment. This is the difference from a true business and a group of independent contractors that want no responsibility to their actions. BEWARE!!!!!

However, when I text her (twice) I don't get a response. I called and she is too busy to get us in. Im not sure why they assigned us to a groomer with such limited availability.

    My small Yorkie had been going to this grooming salon since she was a puppy, and we were loyal…read morecustomers for over five years. Unfortunately, after the change in ownership, the atmosphere shifted from a family-friendly environment to one that feels primarily money-focused. When you're leaving a pet who is truly a family member in someone's care, that difference matters. When I first began bringing my dog in, a full groom was $45, which later increased to $60. After the new owners took over, I made sure to request everything listed as included in the grooming package. The total then came to $105 for my Yorkie. I was surprised that services listed on the wall required specific requests, rather than simply being included. During my last visit, pricing displayed on the wall did not match what I was verbally quoted. I was told the prices were outdated and should have been removed. However, when I returned to pick up my dog, the incorrect prices were still posted. As a customer, transparency and consistency in pricing are important. Additionally, there seems to be an added charge for nearly everything. For example, when I asked if a small amount of balm could be applied to my dog's nose, I was told it would be an additional $5. There is also a late pickup fee of $20-$30 per hour. While I understand policies are necessary, pickup times have been inconsistent on their end as well. On one occasion, I was charged for being late when family was visiting. On another visit, I waited four hours for my dog's grooming to be completed and did not feel comfortable leaving, fearing additional charges. One of my biggest concerns was regarding my dog's severe eczema. They advised me to bring my own if I wanted something different. At the price point being charged, I expected options for sensitive skin without having to supply my own products. Since then, I found a mobile groomer who comes to my home, charges the same price, includes all services without additional fees, offers sensitive-skin shampoo options at no extra charge, and even adds small touches complimentary. Most importantly, my dog's eczema has completely cleared up. I do not typically switch groomers and was a loyal client for years. However, I no longer feel comfortable recommending this salon. It simply does not have the same feel or customer care that it once did. I would like to end on a positive note as the Groomer that did cut my dog's hair. Did do a good job with the trim, but that's not enough to keep me at the same salon as a customer. I am much happier now with my Mobile Groomer.

My dogs are of different ages and temperaments and even my oldest little one Chanel, who we normally has to tranquilize at other groomers does fine here without any tranquilizers. My dogs come back happy, smelling like a dream and calm. As a furbaby momma, my 7 babies safety and care are the utmost importance to me and when I leave my children with Paw Spa, I never worry for they are loved and cared for just like we love and care for them. In addition, if the groomers notice anything amiss about one of my dogs, they let me know immediately and we take them to the vet. I really couldn't ask for anything more. Paw Spa is highly recommended.

My pup is sensitive, a little codependent, and overall a little anxious so grooming day can be scary for her. What I LOVE about Paw Spa is they don't take 10 dogs at a time and keep them caged all day, my girl is usually ready for pick up within and hour of drop off which means a lot less stress for her. On top of that, the haircut is always adorable, I get a priceless photo of my little model, and they preschedule to keep her beauty routine on schedule. Look no further, this is the best groomer in the Treasure valley!
