Dawgs and Paws - Grooming - Louie after his grooming with Yoobin! - Pet Groomers Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

We tried Dawgs and Paws grooming for the first time and they did a great job with our fur son Pablo, a mini golden doodle. We moved last year and have been trying to find a new groomer. Dawgs and Paws did a nice job we just wish they would have cut Pablo a little lower (we probably should have communicated that). Overall he looks great and we will return. read more

They service my dog, exactly how I requested. When I pick my dog up, he was so happy and not stressed in anyway. That lets me know that they were gentle with him which can be difficult because he is so hyper. I will definitely be back. read more

BEWARE all beloved DOG OWNERS!!! If you don't mind paying a premium for bad rushed haircut and slow services, then ignore this review: I hate leaving bad reviews but this one warranted a review to warn others! 1. First time at this salon, - I'm a dog owner of 10 years and have taken the dogs into many salons, called in the day before to ask if they have availability for 3 doodles on Tuesday and they said yes, "we have 11am or 1pm available." My friend and I took the 11am appointment. I sent them the photos on their Instagram page of the 2 reference teddy bear cut I am specifically seeking for our dogs. The next day, we were running behind so we called in to let them know we were 15-20 min behind. They put us on hold for 15 min & finally came back on, and said yes it's fine. 2. When we arrived, they were nice and we reminded them of the specific cut request sent out yesterday. We needed someone who was skilled in doodle cut. They said they can do it, not a problem (after evaluating the dogs in person). They assigned us their newest groomer, Sarah, to tend to all 3 doodles...she told us it would be about 4 hours and will call 30 min to let us know they're almost ready. 3. We hung around the area and at 3pm, 30 min before 3:30pm, expected to get a call but nothing. At 4pm, we decided to start heading to the groomer as it's now 4.5 hours since we dropped them off. At 4:20, the salon called, we were 2 min away so we were excited to be right on time, and said they just gave them a bath and haven't even started on the hair cut yet and will need another hour. Honestly, we were shocked - as the doodles were supposed to be almost done. 4. Upon arrival, they tried to blame on the fact that we were late so they didn't start on the dogs until now (4:20pm) and we will finish them in 45 min. We were really hesitant to move forward and just pull the plug because this means they would get a rushed cut even though the appointment was for 5 hours ago. Against my better judgement, my friend and I decided to proceed with the cutting because I had already taken a day off of work to bring the dogs for their haircut and my friend had to work an evening shift but had to rearrange that too since we were already there. 5. We waited nearby and came back in at 5:40pm. Dogs were ready to go and despite our annoyance with them earlier, we were excited to see the beautiful teddy bear cut our dogs were getting! WRONG. The 1 hour rushed job was pretty obvious. They all got the same cut but WITHOUT the teddy bear request. No blowout roundness. NO POOF on the forehead and around the face. We paid a dematting fee for the time spent on brushing out their face and getting this look, the rest of the body was shaved off (there's no dematting here). The owners & groomers blamed it on the fact that they were too flamboyant and matted and this was the best they could do. We asked if one of the dogs who has bad teardrop stains can get the hair around that area cut, and yep, groomer said yes, and yep it's still there upon pick up. The doodles had their worse haircut ever. 6. Upon payment time, we were quoted WAY MORE than what was on the sign on top. They told us there would be a dematting fee when we walked in earlier but DID NOT tell us they would be adding additional $15-20 per dog because they are poodles. Be warned, the price chart is a based + breed + dematting will be your final total and be sure to ASK if the breed will cost extra or you'd get a nice surprise. If it was one dog, we would have just bit our lips and paid up. Sadly we entrusted all 3 dogs with them and even though we were very specific about the cut and what we want and asked for total price, In the end, we felt ripped off. The owner refused to give us a SINGLE discount on wasting our time, was going to charge one of the dog more than what she weighs even though she's 15 lbs, they quoted her under the 20lb weight, then saying they can't take money off the groomers time. The groomers spent 1 hour on the dog NOT 3-4 to give them the best cut. 7. So here I am, one very upset customer, with dogs that got the worse haircuts ever, uneven hair strands (they even had to continue cutting a few more off of one of the dog's tail in the waiting room and I had to point out a few strands for the groomer to trim) and out of almost $450. 8. BE WARNED. NOT PROFESSIONAL. Don't make special requests. Stick with just a standard cut whatever they can do, otherwise they won't be able to fulfill it but will say yes they can, happily take your money, and might just make you wait a whole full day if you own dogs with curly hair. Check the photos for yourself.... read more

My two dogs have been coming here for a few months and I've had a great experience. There was one issue where we weren't returned leash and collar and they immediately resolve the issue. I highly recommend them. But please make sure your dogs are thoroughly de tangled if they have curly hair otherwise they will end up with a bald summer cut that may not be cute, but will be necessary. read more

Dawgs and Paws - Grooming - This is my dogs haircut. The first time they came here. - Pet Groomers Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Yoobin did amazingly with our super anxious pup. She went straight into his arms and gave him kisses. When we went to pick her up, and was wagging her tail standing on the grooming table before even noticing us! The cut was perfect! They had to do some gentle dematting and our dog looked excellent when we picked her up. She also smelled great! Highly recommend! read more

2nd time with Carlos from Dawgs & Paws and still beyond pleased with his work! Our dog Conan always comes out looking business casual and smelling like a million buck. Not to mention he's extra soft and fluffy. We'll definitely be coming back. read more

**Edit: I had gotten my dog groomed on Tuesday (03/04). For the last couple of days, she has been constantly licking and whimpering. Checked her paw today, to find out that there is a huge cut from the rushed grooming they did for some fast cash. Horrible!! Overpriced, rushed, mediocre haircuts and negligible customer service. Got my dog as well as 2 other dogs groomed here after sawing the tremendous amount of good reviews on Google. Despite the place having 4.9 stars with 500+ reviews on Google Maps, this place seems to have a lack of professionalism when it comes to customer satisfaction and service. We sent a few photos of our ideal haircut/hairstyle to the company, in which they had agreed upon doing. We then reconfirmed with the hair groomer when we visited of the specific cut we wanted (a normal poodle, teddy bear style cut, which we have gotten many times before at multiple different places). We arrived a couple of minutes later than the arrived appointment time due to some heavy traffic and unexpected events, in which we called ahead of time to notify them of our late arrival. Although we would have been completely fine with being rescheduled for another day, they had given us the "Ok" and we proceeded to stop by. We wanted to give this place a shot as we hoped to find the best groomer through affordability, convenience, and service quality. This place is definitely not cheap. We did not mind, but after seeing how we got our dogs back, we deeply regret not carefully reviewing all reviews besides the good. We were quoted 3-4 hours for all dogs. We stayed around the area waiting for them to give us a call to pick our dogs up. When we came by the quoted time, they told us that because they assigned us to the "New groomer" and that she was being slow and they had only gotten a bath at that point. They then told us would have to stop by at around 7, which is pretty absurd seeing as we had already waited that long with no communication before whatsoever. Additionally, on their website it mentions they close at 5:30 pm.. Every other groomer I had went to had always gotten all dogs out within 2-3 hours for 3 dogs. We contemplated on taking them out after that wait, since we felt our time as paying customers were clearly not valued. We expressed our concerns on how they had waited till the end of the day to cut our dog's fur, and that they would probably do a sloppy and rushed job at the end for a quick money grab. However, the manager insisted that her and her sister, Ivana, would be able to finish the job without the haircut being, keyword, "rushed". We decided to give them another chance, but that is a decision that I deeply regret. When we had came back, we noticed we got a mediocre shave down and rushed choppy work. There were blatantly obvious pieces of longer fur on their legs and other parts. Bald spots under their ears and almost no grooming on their faces. It didn't match the inspiration photos we had asked constantly for, before. The haircut pricing was already expensive, and we were upset about the wait we had to endure with little to no communication about the process. On top of that, we were quoted additional fees on the price. Although on their website it says that it could be $10-$15 more depending on their condition, we were quoted $25 and overall almost paid an extra $150 for nothing. Their excuse was of my dog's temperament and how anxious they were, and they had to take that into account. We asked for a discount and the manager outrightly refused. When we picked them up as well, they were still rushing out to fix some uneven parts of my dog's hair to help cover up that everything was rushed. We were not even offered for a returning appointment for a fixed up or any apologies. Although it is up to a business owner's discretion for these types of offers, customer satisfaction and time, was severely neglected. In their defense, they said the complimentary free "lux" package for booking with their new groomer was included. I checked all my dog's teeth, they don't seem like they had any sort of cleaning as mentioned. My dog had also been consistently scooting on the floor and sitting down suddenly everytime we walk after the haircut. She also has been licking her genitalia area constantly which is very unlike her. Either the anal gland expression they offered in their "lux" package went wrong in their hands or just plain mishandling. I usually never leave reviews unless the service is absolutely exceptional, but unfortunately in this case, they left me appalled. Please do not go here, there are many other affordable groomers out there who will not just see your dogs as a quick money grab. read more

I came to the facility with a 16-year-old dog that has been rejected from its groomer that's groomed him since he was a puppy. Is the geriatric dog, he couldn't see well, or here well, and it made him jumpy. SHe said that he needed two groomers now and booted us out! I think it's the best thing that ever happened! The people at Dawgs And Paws could not be nicer or kinder! Everyone seems to be concerned about the dog. In fact, there were three people grooming him at one time. I'm definitely coming back and I would recommend this place to anybody! There's nothing better than being readed at the front desk with a smile, we assured by the groomer that your dog would be okay, and then get a beautiful dog back. read more

After we first got our pup, we took him here twice and the first cut was simply okay, although our pup seemed extremely sad and upset after being here. Despite my gut feeling, we decided to give them another shot and the groomer called because he did not remember how we requested him to be cut. During our call, I mentioned hair around his face and eyes grow tremendously quicker than the hair on his body and we have issues with the hair covering his eyes. He said he understood and the solution was the treacherous cut you see here. My poor pup hated this place and they claimed he was extremely difficult and that was why. We also were upcharged upon pick up without explanation and had to ask why and their response was he's a difficult pup. We have not had this issue or such a poor cut at our new groomer. I would not recommend this place to any of my friends or family as it was a poor experience for us, especially as new pup parents. read more

Superb! I took my Australian Shephard for a grooming and Daniel did a most superb job. Other places have done a chop job on him so he didn't even look like himself.

They came highly recommended by my retired groomer. I was very happy with the service I received. Give yourself time for an appointment, it took about 5 days, from my first call, to get an appointment. read more

Carlos always does the best job with Buster! He's comfortable there and Carlos always treats him so good! Thank you!

Carlos at Dawgs and Paws handled my 16 year anxious dog with such tender care that I was immediately relieved that she was in good hands. Her previous experience at another groomer was so traumatic that Lizzie and I were very upset. The owner made it clear that she was not welcome back.. Lizzie emerged from the grooming calm and beautiful. Carlos made a point to say Lizzie was very sweet and she was welcome anytime. I highly recommend Dawgs and Paws. They are very professional from making an appointment through grooming. read more

Took my dog to Dawgs & Paws for the first time yesterday and it was a hit.  He was greeted warmly by one of the owners, Ivana, and he was taken in right away.  His cut was exactly what I asked for!  They gave him back to me looking very handsome and smelling great :)  I did quite a bit of research looking for reputable groomers in Silver Spring and had actually taken my dog to another local groomer 2 months ago.  Both places did an excellent job, but Dawgs & Paws offered a more competitive price, and the place is super clean (more than the other groomers and I paid 20% more there)! Dawgs & Paws has created an inviting space, and even has a nice aroma!  I'm looking forward to taking my dog here for his regular grooms and happy to support this female family owned business. read more

Every moment with this business is a joy. The love and knowledge they have for their fur clients (and human clients) is palpable. My pupper is older and unsure of new places and noises. He has been in my life for about a year. Dawgs and Paws are informative, caring and upfront about pricing and time. read more

Thank you for reaching out TWO days later to the owner Ivana. Decided to give this place a try since our regular groomer was booked and my baby Bella was overdue for a grooming. Figured Bella would remember this location since we were customers of the Studio before they closed. My poor sweet girl is now traumatized due to the fact that she was cut underneath her eye by the groomer. It was implied that it was her first time getting groomed but she has gone to professional groomers for her 10 years of life. Never has her previous or current groomer complained of how she's behaving. Yes, she does not like to get groom but will behave. Nevertheless, has she returned to me injured. I would have appreciated if I would have received a call letting me know if the groomer was unable to groom Bella for whatever reason. For her safety he would have preferred to stop at that moment rather than continue. I would have greatly appreciated that call at that time. My sister took family took Bella to this appt since I had to work. But my family wasn't informed either until after the incident. The groomer could have asked for help from a more experience groomer but he continue to groom her. When I called to schedule the appt, I requested someone who specialized in breeds like a shih tzu and I was told everyone was experienced in breeds similar to that. I agreed and continued to schedule. I do not mind paying extra to have my Bella be safe and comfortable, which I did when the Studio was opened. I found it very unique/interesting that my family was told she would be there for 3 hours getting groomed. Questioned it but figured she would be out sooner. Bella apparently would not let the groomer groom her face and he ended up cutting underneath her eye. The groomer apparently paused until she stopped bleeding and then continued the grooming. I would greatly appreciated a call at that moment. Bella now cries at home and does not want to be left alone. I received a call at work and knew something was wrong. I wanted my family to just take Bella as she was at that moment and just head home. That day once I arrived Bella would not leave my side and refused to go on her walk. I had to carry to reassure her she was safe and it was just a regular walk. Bella woke up yesterday 02/15 with her right eye mostly shut close. Thankfully, it slowly opened more later that day. I will definitely not be returning with Bella or any other dog I own to this establishment since dogs safety is obviously not a priority. Bella as a dog may not be able to speak verbally but I am her voice and know her best than anyone. Thank you for providing a terrible and traumatizing experience. read more

My Loki always comes out looking handsome and well taken care of. Most importantly he does not show any signs of distress and discomfort.

I would like to share my experience with this grooming salon. I am questioning the staff capacity to handle dogs under stress and anxiety in this salon. I felt my dog (with a disability on her leg) was kicked out because she was "aggressive". She is a 6.5-pound, small dog with no teeth, she just needed some love and understanding to calm down a little bit. I felt that since the moment we walked in, and I mentioned she had a disability the groomer was triggered and caused some biases. In addition, the price increased $20 right there. It sounds to me that Ada and Ivana (owners), may have some experience in dog handling, but the staff there obviously NO. You advertise that you cater to all breeds, special needs pets, puppies, and senior population but that was NOT my experience. What I found was a group of groomers not knowing how to handle my little dog and increasing the price (because she was "aggressive") at intervals of 20s until I have to say that it was too pricy. However, I accepted the price because my dog was there already ($106) and 10 minutes later I received a phone call indicating that they were NOT going to do it. They asked me to go and pick up my dog. Technically they indicated that they were not going to do it, which translate to me into they were NOT capable to handle my dog. They charged me 58 dollars for bathing my dog with nothing else done. This is disappointing since I believe it was a great place based on the reviews and what it is advertised on internet. Sadly, I found it's a false advertisement. read more

Ada and Ivana are amazing! Onyx loves going there. Every time I pull up he gets so excited and runs in the front door. He has been there for daycare during the week and also boarded there once over a weekend. They always send pics and whenever I text to check in reply within a few minutes time. Onyx will continue to go there as we have tried other dog daycares in the area and he or I were not impressed. Thanks Ladies for keeping him happy! read more

I am always so impressed with the crew at Dawgs and Paws. My dog hates getting groomed but they are patient with her and she always looks beautiful when I pick her up!! I have been to other groomers and Dawgs and Paws is by far the best! I now travel a long way just to go there and it's worth all the time and energy to get the best!! read more

I left Baby in Ada's care for a few days and let me tell you - the best experience yet! I was out of the country and when I picked up Baby, she was great. She wasn't sick, no puking, nothing. If anything, Baby was exhausted from playing so much. To make the experience more memorable, Ada was amazing in sending me updates and photos. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

I visit this place for the first time for my puppy grooming service. Due to a recommendation from a friend. The first visit was not bad my puppy had Ivana for grooming. This location seems to be busy and looks clean. I came to pick my puppy up after the grooming service about 2-3 hr later. She was fine and looks decent. Cut was okay not spectacular. So I made a second appointment for a wash and brush bath only no cut this time a little over a month later. I had to cancel my appointment 3 hr earlier due to an emergency. I came down with a cold and I was not able to take my puppy. I had reschedule for another date online then I received a called asking what was my emergency. I said it was due to a cold I am not able to bring her I don't want to get anyone sick. So I assume my response was not a good enough for an emergency they want to charge me half the price for not being able to bring my puppy for an appointment. I was confused and baffled. I had a valid reason and did reschedule so I will be coming back. They even said even after I said I'm sick with a cold if I am still able to bring her in I don't have to pay the fee of cancellation last minute. I thought about it and I just told them it's fine I decide to pay the cancellation fee and will no longer come back. Thank you. I had a bad experience but maybe it's different for someone else. Good luck guys. read more

Dawgs & Paws is the place to sit or board your pet. I could swear that my dog cried when he came back home. It is not just a business but also a way of life for them. I have always been pleased with their professionalism, knowledge and pretty fair prices. I don't shop around because of the trust and security that has developed over the years. read more

No words can describe how blessed I am to have found Ada and her family. My dog Yuki has been going every week to Dawgs&Paws since she was a 16 week puppy. At 16 weeks she was still overcoming a lot of the early puppy training issues and since she was still young, no other pet sitter wanted to take her. Ada and her family welcomed Yuki in with open arms. Everyone is so attentive to Yuki and she gets excited to go to day care every day. Yuki thinks of everyone in Ada's family including all her pups and kids as her own family also. Yuki is such a friendly socialized dog and I credit her early introduction to Dawgs and paws for making her this way. Spending time at Dawgs and paws is a part of Yuki's everyday routine. She comes back sleepy and well exercised. They have also been so accomodating to my busy schedule. I work a lot and travel. They have never hesitated to provide top notch care for yuki when I am out of town and will provide frequent updates. When yuki got sick while I was out of town, Ada and her family contacted me immediately and took her to the vet. Overall I would never trust anyone else to care for Yuki. She is well loved at dawgs and paws . It really is a labor of love what Ada and her family Chris and Ivana do. If you are looking for a place that gives your pup individualized one on one attention, a place where your pet feels loved then I'd recommend no other place but Dawgs and Paws. read more

Ada & Chris have been watching my dog Vinny every time I go away for the last 1.5 years. Initially I was hesitant to leave my pup anywhere but immediately I was put to ease by the attention given to him when he's in their care. It's a family atmosphere, and they treat Vinny like he's family throughout his stay. I've done both daycare & overnights and always have a happy dog when I pick him up. Leaving your dog with others can be difficult but rest assured that your dog will be in good hands when in their care. I feel so comfortable leaving him with them, that I will not take my dog anywhere else. They have my recommendation without a doubt. read more

My dog has been going to Ada and her family weekly for daycare and boarding since she was 12 weeks old. They are communicative, flexible, and take amazing care of my dog. Every time I pull up to the house she starts wagging her tail in excitement and pulls me right to the front door! The picture updates are awesome and I've only ever had positive experiences. I have never had a single worry when my dog is in their care. If you are looking for care for your dog I would not look any further- it doesn't get any better than this! Highly recommend and would give more than 5 stars if I could. read more

I was afraid to leave my small dog with anyone. She suffers from anxiety and was not sure she would do well with others. When I showed up the staff was so friendly and reassuring. They were so organized and had such a great system in place I left feeling very reassured. I got lots of updates and pictures and my little lady seemed to be having a ball! When I picked her up she had been well taken care of! I was so impressed with my entire experience. It is a loving family environment, not a sterile cold "kennel" feel which I love! I will for sure be back! read more
