When the dog scratches at you cause he/she is happy to see you and it draws blood, well it's time to clip their nails. It was a Saturday mid afternoon and two calls in with no calls back. Figured due to the Dream Cruise going on they were closed. Well, to my Surprise when I left the house to go get bandages and a bite to eat, the sign said open. I swung in without my dog. A attentive and busy groomer said they would be happy to help me but they were just too busy to answer calls. I left got my dog and was back in 7-8 minutes. Got the nails clipped and happy dog and happy me. Now go to a drug store for bandages. read more

I love them! Staff is so kind. My dog was very matted & in bad shape! Erica made him adorable! I will never go anywhere else...thank you for putting my mind at ease!! read more

The gals here are the absolutely the best! When I first started bringing my dog Ruby in for grooming she was scared but now when I pick her up she doesn't want to leave. I also foster dogs and Clawson Paws is my first stop after pick up for a nail trim. They always check all their parts to make sure everything is up to snuff without me even asking. Such a great place! read more

I used to really like clawson paws and would only take my cat here. Sadly, I will never return to clawson paws. The owner has become a very mean woman to pets and owners alike. The last two times I took my cat, he was very aggressive. I know my cat, he is only aggressive in response to bad handling. He was fine the first two times he as groomed so what changed? Also, the last two times, myself and my partner were treated bad when picking the cat up. The last time I was charged $150 for the grooming which is the highest I've ever been charged. Obviously they didn't want me to come back. Message received. Thankfully I found a groomer in Auburn Hills who actually loves cats and we are all much happier there. read more

We had our 2 small dogs groomed today at Clawson Paws. This is the best they've ever looked when groomed. I could tell the groomers paid every attention to detail during the grooming process. I will definitely be back and recommend it to all my friends who are pet owners. PS - Our dogs don't like posing for pictures. read more

This business is such a great find. They groom cats and are truly good at what they do - and with dealing with my crazy kitties.

IF YOU LOVE YOUR DOG, DO NOT TAKE THEM HERE!! Our first two visits went well, one visit her nail got trimmed too short causing it to bleed. The groomer informed us and put cornstarch on it, this happens, but they took appropriate steps. This visit was much different. Having a small dog, I was told it would take about an hour. As the second hour approached I called and asked for a time frame. I was told five minutes as they just had to do her nails. Apparently this caused them to rush. She was supposed to receive a bath, nail trim, and fanny trim. Her bottom trim looks like one side wasn't even touched and the other side has a patchy shave. Upon seeing this, I fully inspected her once I got home. We found 6 nails cut down at the quick and bloody! No sign of cornstarch and no mention from anyone when I picked her up. For the next couple of hours my dog hid in her cage nursing her feet, she didn't even want to walk. My bf called to inform them of their missteps and they offered to fix the shave. Why would I take my dog back somewhere when you cut off half it's toe? They proceeded to call back four times from multiple numbers. We returned a call back asking them to stop calling us and declined a refund as I would never want to step foot in that shop again. If they would have asked for more time for her nails, I would have happily obliged, but it seems they rushed through it with blatant disregard for my dogs safety in the process. One or two nails is understandable, but 6 and doing nothing about it?! Shame on you. These people aren't animal lovers, they will hurt your dog and not tell you. read more

Took my 5 month German Shepard pup for his first groom. I'm thankful they talked me through what they were going to do. What to expect. They washed him, blow dried, did his nails. Will keep bringing him as long as we live in this area. They were quick as well! Wanted my dog to get used to getting groomed and I now I know he's in good hands here. read more

I was extremely disappointed. Please see my Full Review in the numerous "Not Recommended Reviews" that, for some reason, doesn't make it to the main list of reviews read more

I have had such a difficult time finding a Groomer in the area. My usual groomer is on maternity leave, which has left me to find another one that treats my dog well. This is at least the 5th I've tried in area, and I have to say... AWESOME! I'm so happy. The staff working were very friendly, the front lobby way was clean, and my dog looks great. I should also add, the staff working seemed to genuinely care about animals. Thanks a ton, we will be back! read more

BEWARE. The staff may tell you they find fleas on your dog to make extra money. They did this to me and were very rude when I questioned it, especially the young girl at the front desk. They insist I pay an extra $25. I knew my dog did not have fleas, so to be certain, I took my dog immediately to the vet and was told there were no signs of flea bites etc. Not sure why they like to scam their customers, but it happened to me at Clawson Paws Pet Grooming. The owner and young girl were extremely rude and shady. Will never go back. read more

Clawson Paws Pet Grooming is amazing! The ladies are so kind. Our pups are old and can be grouchy when getting groomed. The ladies were so gentle and attentive to their needs and making sure that they were comfortable in the process too. We visited on a whim as my pups were in dire need of a shave, and unable to get into our usual place. We will forever be Clawson Paws customers from here on out! Absolutely bring your animals here to get groomed. read more

Second visit- they gave her 4 lovely baths for fleas/skin calming/ scab healing and I think a vanilla scented conditioner. All went very well but they did cut her some of her whiskers, which is concerning because they help her balance and other things. They should be careful cutting around the face read more

I highly recommend this pet groomer. Special shout out to Kate! She has been so great at accommodating us in our appointments with our labradoodle who has skin issues. So appreciate this! read more

Please don't ever take your cat here. I took mine here to have his nails trimmed and to have two mats removed near his front legs. They shaved his entire belly. Didn't remove the mats. Didn't trim the nails and still charged me $60. Horrible place. read more

Very friendly, our dog loves going here, which speaks volumes. Helpful staff, friendly, and made our dog and me feel secure leaving her here for a bath, and nail trimming. They took her right in, and you can tell these people love animals. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone wanting their pet groomed. read more

Was a little bit nervous to take my 13 year old Lhasapoo for a grooming because of all the negative reviews, but took a chance and I'm glad we did. It's one of the best experiences we've had. read more

I never write reviews but this place deserves a shout out. I have been to many groomers and this place is by far one of the most professional. The owner is a true dog lover and cares for your dog like it's her own. I took my doodle for a bath and brush this morning at 9 am and she was ready to be picked by 11. Most grooming places take all day to groom your dog and make them wait in cages but not this place. They did an amazing job with my doodle she looked so beautiful when I picked her up. I appreciate that they are upfront about how much it will cost and how long it will take to groom your dog. Take your precious fur babies to this place because they are amazing. Thank you for taking such good care of my pup. read more

Tembo, my chow chow, is our baby and has been long overdue for a professional grooming. I was nervous to entrust her to someone who could properly groom and hand scissor her. I needed to find someone that my girl would trust, knowing her chow chow temperament. Michelle and Dawn swept all our fears away. We took Tembo in for an initial visit and after meeting Tembo, they reassured me that they would be able to pamper her and take care of her every need. Tembo loved Dawn right away and this was unusual for her! She is usually weary of strangers and barks at them, especially initially. However, Dawn was able to pet her and she was giving her kisses right off the bat. I dropped off Tembo first thing in the morning. They took her right in. I called to check in on her mid-morning and they told me she was doing great. 3.5 ours later, I received a phone call that she was finished, and let me tell you: She looked, felt and smelt amazing! I could not have been more pleased with the results. I am so thankful to Dawn and Michelle. They will become Tembo's regular groomers. I am excited to have found a groomer I trust in my area. 5 stars and highly recommended!!!!! read more

I love this place and refuse to take my fur baby anywhere else. The owner Michelle met my fur baby Bella the very first day I rescued her. She was 18 weeks old, scared and her fur was in bad shape. Bella took to Michelle immediately and she came out of the shop feeling and looking like a new puppy. It was that day I started calling Michelle "Auntie Michelle". No matter the short notice I give, Michelle always makes time for my fur baby Bella. I've been coming to Michelle for well over 5 years and I can't explain how amazing she's been, not only as a groomer but as a friend! When I enter Clawson Paws it's like visiting family. I hate to admit it but Michelle has also been a therapist to me in so many ways. She's incredible and her work speaks for itself. Michelle doesn't just groom my baby, she glamorizes her for me. The pretty bows in her hair or glitter and/or the Holly berry dog perform leaves my baby fabulous asnuggleable for days!! Her prices are very modest and the customer service is of the charts! Do yourself a favor and take your animals here!! PS did I mention she surprised us today with doggy clothes today!! I only had her claws clipped but she gave them to me as a present for being a loyal customer! read more

I plan on future visits and highly recommend read more

I took my cat here on Feb 4 2021. She came back to me with all of her whiskers cut short and when the owner Michelle told me about this when I came to pick her up, she said this was fine. However, it has been over 2 months now and my cat is still acting oddly because her whiskers haven't grown back yet. She acts a lot more timidly and is scared very easily now. I have been to several other cat groomers and they have not even nicked 1 whisker, let alone cut all of them down to about 1-1.5 inches. I did not take my cat here to be beautified, just took her in to remove her excessively long fur. This was communicated clearly before the visit. I'm bothered that I wasn't told about the whiskers before I arrived, as I was called several times during the appointment for inquiries about what kind of cut on the tail and what style cut in general I would like done. Why wasn't this mentioned during one of those calls? My research into the topic of cutting whiskers has lead me to think, how could this have happened to my cat by a professional groomer? It seems to be common knowledge that whiskers should not be cut, ever. I'm baffled and I feel terrible for my cat. I have no idea when/if she will recover. Before and after photos of my cat are attached. If this review gets read by Clawson Paws, please issue me a refund of the $90 I paid. Thanks. read more

A few months ago I took my 16 year old cat to be groomed. He is a triple coated cat who had many mats. We have been able to brush his hair in the past, but due to his hypertyroid condition, the texture of the fur changed so much, it was impossible to groom. Michelle felt that due to his condition and age, he would need a vet to perform the grooming. She gave us the names of several local veterinarians. We had him groomed at a Vet's office with anesthesia. He looks beautiful! Michelle was very much in integrity. She could have attempted to groom him herself, but had his interests in mind. I feel she really loves animals and cared enough to recommend someone else to do the job. read more

They did such a good and professional job on my dog! They assured me that I was leaving my dog in good hands, they were a very good price too. When I came to pick him up they put a little scarf around his neck and a few treats to go home with! They were so nice and did a great job on him! They also asked if it was okay to spray him with some cologne which I thought was very nice of them to ask. He also came home with no cuts or anything! read more

I took my cat Rosie her this morning. I wanted to get her bathed and have a nail trim. I spent 55 dollars for it. Though unfortunately they said that Rosie was destroying her store. My cat was just scared. You would think that they would have taken precautions. One because my cat has never been there before and two because cats normally don't like water. I received my scared cat back with bloody paws. I did leave a tip because I felt bad. Though for pet owner should have to worry about the safety of her baby while at the groomers. Now I have to take her to the vet, because her nails are bleeding. I will not be going back here. read more

I recently got a pet cat, his name is Boo, and was looking for a place to trim his nails. I found Clawson Paws through Yelp and after reading the reviews, I called and was able to get him in right away. I came back the following week and had an appointment for my cat to get the full treatment - bath, trim, pads, nails. I was nervous Boo would be scared but the owner and the staff are so nice and friendly that he loved it! I will definitely be back for Boo's nail appointments! read more

My fur-baby, Sydney, is a long-haired cat who requires grooming every spring to remove her undercoat. It is actually difficult to find a groomer in the area who will work with cats. I have used Clawson Paws for 3 years and highly recommend them. They talk to Sydney calmly and with love - I always leave feeling she is in good hands and will be treated with the same care I do. They understand the stress loud noises and dogs place on her and wait until things are more quiet before they begin. Clawson Paws attention to detail is appreciated - Syd usually ends up with a few mattes before she goes in and they take care of them without shaving her completely. They address the areas that need attention - I once went to another groomer who would only consider a lion cut. I just picked Syd up and she looks 50% lighter! I know she will appreciate it that once the warm weather hits Thank you Clawson Paws for taking such good care of my fur-baby. read more

I took my cat here for a lion cut. When I came to pick her up, her cut was done perfectly and she smelled wonderful (not an easy feat with my little stinker). The staff gushed over how sweet my cat was and then the woman talking to me got a very serious look. She told me I should consider going to the vet because there may be a tumor on my cats stomach. My cat is a little old lady and we've known about her tumor for a few years now, but not one groomer has ever cared enough to point it out to me. When I told her it was benign she looked so relieved and yelled it back to the other groomers. I'm glad they gave my cat a great haircut, but the genuine love and care they had for my fur baby (at our first visit nonetheless) is what will keep me coming back to Clawson Paws. Thank you for taking such great care of my little love and making her look great! read more

I've never felt inclined to leave a yelp review before, but this place is awesome. I spent forever trying to find a place that would groom my Persian cat, and I'm so happy I stumbled upon this gem. The owner Michelle is super friendly and you could tell she genuinely loves the animals. I expected my cat to come home traumatized like he does after leaving the vet, and instead he was happy and playful. I truly think he liked the groomer (who would've thought). I HIGHLY recommend this place. Especially if you're looking for a cat groomer. read more

So glad I found this place. First time here. I called the shop and left a message. Michelle promptly called me back, even though the store wasn't open. I brought my two cats in for nail trimming- front and back. Even though they were quite busy, Michelle did both cats while I waited. I'm impressed with her skill. I thought for sure the female would be hissing like mad, but she didn't make a peep. Michelle suggested I bring them in for a bath. ??? I never heard of short haired cats getting baths, but if Michelle suggested it, I'm doing it. This lady really knows her stuff. read more

Not sure what happened here but my dog has not been the same since the grooming. She was hesitant to go in and the groomer came and took her in. She whimpers each time she has to stand up or use her back legs and it has been two days. While my dog might look like a pit bull, she is a bull dog and I can only hope they didn't treat her as a bully breed dog. read more

Love, Love, Love this place. I have never taken a cat in to get groomed and was a little worried. But after meeting Michelle and her crew I had very little concerns. Jaxx just loved it, he got a lion cut and the whole shebang. When I got him home he wasn't stressed in fact he walked around the house like he WAS the cats meow. Now he stretches up walls as if to say...."couldn't you just picture me in Africa doing this very same stretch on a tree". We will defiantly go back for more visits. read more

We are so very pleased with Clawson Paws! Particularly Dawn - we have followed her from other places, to Clawson Paws - which is the best! They are very clean and accommodating.
