I've taken my dog there for a year. Every single time there is something wrong. This time they didn't trim her nails so I took her somewhere else to get it done. Last time they kept her four hours, needed to use two people due to her anxiety, charged me for two people and didn't even explain why. The time before that they did a hand trim that I didn't request and charged me for it. This last time they had her name wrong when I walked in the door. Very sloppy business. I am changing groomers. The response from the owner is mostly untrue. read more

Desiree did an amazing job on our dog Chewy! Very impressed with the job she did. He looks great! One of the only places that's done a good job on our dog. read more

Elite Paw Spa - A strange looking dog-- not ours! Place is pretty nice though. - Pet Training Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I have given multiple chances to this location. For my golden they burned her ears when doing her trim (with the clippers) causing a double ear infection and a $500 trip to the vet. For my German shepherd they raked his coat so hard during the deshedding treatment he had visible scratches and red marks down his body. I should have been skeptical at the dirty location and cheap prices. read more

I don't trust anyone with my fur babies! Danielle and Tina do an AMAZING job! Zack has medical issues and Danielle has such patience with him, she takes her time and talks to him and reassures him! Tina has her hands full with Sadie, she too does an Amazing job! Would not go anywhere else! read more

Great place, they do a great job on my dog Chewy. Would highly recommend. 10/10. Friendly service.

This was our second time at this groomer. First time was great and got exactly the cut we wanted. A few weeks ago I dropped my dog off, waited outside for 10-15 minute because their lobby was full which I don't mind. When I entered, the groomer asked me how short I wanted it, I said the first time I was there the groomer stated she could only get about an inch off, cleanup trim, without damaging his undercoat. This groomer disagreed saying that she could shave him down to a 10 or 7 (refer to photo) I explained I did not want his hair short by any means because I've been told by multiple groomers that shaving him down that short would not be good for his coat at all. I specifically asked for a cleanup and made it clear I thought. I didn't even want his length anything less than a 4 and we agreed on the level 3 which I saw her write on the paper. I felt rushed out the door and felt uneasy about our conversation. My partner picked him up and my dog is completely unrecognizable, I think the photos speak for themselves. Groomer told him I asked for a 10/7. I am not the one to complain however, this was just upsetting at how Short they cut when I specifically said I wanted to keep his hair length longer. I did speak to the owner which she apologized for the miscommunication however I don't appreciate that they tried telling me I asked for a 10/7 cut and received a 3. The photos are clear that he did not even receive the 3 level cut and his shave is even patchy. read more

Do not recommend. Poor management. Last year we scheduled our dog Fitzy a month out. We called to confirm our appointment and the response "I am sorry we don't have you listed" it appears when you call they write it down and then it seems to disappear. When we finally rescheduled they butchered her belly. (One of the reasons we took her there is they don't kennel) we made an appointment April 13 2023 for today May 13 and guess what??? We called last night to confirm and no appointment and they can't fit her in. Well... It was always.. about 10 miles... We saw a new place in the Sprouts Shopping center on Queen Creek... They couldn't fit us in until Tuesday and it's only 1.5 miles and the owner was very helpful. Things happen for a reason. If you go to elite pet spa.. confirm your appointment a couple days ahead. Horrible Service read more

This review is mainly due to the fact they don't seem to care to follow up or pay attention. Took my friend's Pom here, told them they cut her private last time so be careful. They again shave her too close and irritate her stomach and vagina to the point that she won't stop itching it. Now we have to pay a vet as it's pretty red & inflamed. Also grooming took like half a day & they didn't say ahead they let dogs roam free together without even checking health certificates which we don't appreciate as anything can happen. We didn't sign up for unauthorized play dates. They were nice & cut looked good so all else like anals, teeth, nails seemed fine. But price also kept going up each time. Left them msg, no call back so here is the review which I tried to avoid but... read more

Michelle is amazing! Thank you for taking care of our Kaia she now looks super beautiful and soft. We couldn't be happier. This was her first haircut! Thank you, I highly recommend Michelle's expertise! Very reasonable pricing. read more

I found the perfect groomer in Chandler for sparticus! I gave taken him here three times now and each time they have given him great mohawk cuts. The prices are reasonable and they don't keep him there forever. He is always happy when we leave and I feel that I can trust them with his care, which is paramount when it comes to groomers. read more

I have never written a review for any company before good or bad but felt convicted to do so. It is with great disappointment that I write this. I have been taking my dogs here for many years and have been very satisified but this last experience has forced me to go somewhere else. I brought my 2 pups in for their regular bath and tidy (1st time for my younger pup) and shed out for Daisey my 2 yr sheperd mix because she tends to have a lot of loose hair. When I brought them home Daisey was acting extremely different. She laid in her bed all day and refused to eat. She didn't even want to go on her daily walk. My younger pup Bleu was fine. The next 2 days Daisey was worse and it became very clear to me she had a fever. I brought her to her vet, Lifecare Animal Hospital. She had a fever of 104 and when the tech placed her hand on her back while listening to her heart she yelped in pain. Her vet determined she was injured by who ever shed her out at the Elite Paw Spa. She was experiencing a fever because her body was trying to fight off the extreme pain she was in. They put her on pain meds and anti-inflamatory meds. She also has tuffs of hair coming out which is from sores all over her back and sides. It was awful to see her in so much pain. I called the Spa to let them know. I explained to Desiree what happened. She was very nice and concerned and said I will let the owner know I am sure she will call you back right away. I know mistakes happen but wanted to let them know so it didn't happen to anyone else's pet. I was told the owner would call me back. She never did so I called again. Again they said she was with a dog and would call me back in 15 mins. She never called back again. I left a message on their website telling them again the situation and again no one called. It makes me very sad the extreme unprofessionalism of the owner. You would think they would want to know if something like this happened to one of their customer's pet. I understand it is a difficult situation to have to deal with. I just wanted to make sure it doesn't happen to someone else. If you can't deal with difficult situations head on in your business then your business will not last. I hate to say I will never bring my pets here again and will tell everyone I know the risks of having them groom their dog and the unprofessionalism of this owner. read more

I honestly have no words. What is this haircut.... My sister brought them in and said they had totally new staff today. They usually do a good job on our dogs, but definitely didn't do a good job today read more

Very overpriced and they do not do a good job on golden doodles . I had to go back and have them trip up my dogs face

Wow!! Look no further!! Michelle is your girl if you want your pet groomed! They do such a fantastic job here. I couldn't be happier, not to mention Michelle took time out of her busy day to show me the correct way to trim my dog's nails in between groomings. Thank you Elite pet spa!! read more

Highly recommend their services! read more

I have used this grooming business for the last 5 years on three different pets. I would have given them a 4.5 rating until recently. They have changed quite a bit. My dog used to love going there and the last two times she has been afraid. The cut I asked for was different than what they provided. They did not listen to me. I will not be returning. I know there are better and kinder groomers. read more

I wish I could give -ve stars, I had my dog groomed here, they put razor burns and cuts on his behind, after reporting the issue, they had the audacity to say that this was not done by them. So you leave a healthy pet with them and they return it back injured. The Vet also confirmed that it is due to razor burn. Please save your Pets and do not take it to this place. read more

Today was our first visit to Elite. I have to say, of all the years of grooming our dogs prior to moving here, this was by far the best grooming my lab has ever received. She was so clean and her fur looks amazing. We did a basic bath and brush and added the service to have her undercoat combed out. The staff was very friendly and accommodating as well. We will definitely be back! read more

Elite paw spa, Not only was I disappointed with how long (8.5 hours) it took to groom two 15 pound dogs, but when I got home I realized a few things. Let's start with the puppy, that in their voicemail stated was feisty and difficult. Her head wasn't even touched, and her belly was still hairy. I paid $50 a dog for this service. Now comes the worst part, the other dog, Rylie (who is a breeze with grooming) had not one, but TWO cuts on her nose. One was right next her snout, and the black pieces were sloughing off, and on the bridge of her nose was a huge cut. The worst part is, they didn't tell me about any of this. I was left to discover it myself, which angered me even more. If they had told me they cut her, I would have been more understanding, but to find it, and not ever mentioning it made me less understanding. The customer service leaves much to be desired, and will definitely never return, nor would I ever recommend them. Actually, all my other dog parents and their fur babies, go elsewhere, your pups will thank you. read more

I never ever write bad reviews... but I was just so livid after my experience. I gave myself a couple of weeks to calm down about this and not post a review while my anger was fresh. But Unfortunately, I can't get over this. My old cat was matted, I understand that and take full responsibility for it. She's old and cannot groom herself anymore so I've never had to get her groomed. I brought her home and noticed she was moving different. Wouldn't sit down or jump on the couch. After checking her I found cuts all over her body. And I mean everywhere, even in the places that weren't matted prior to the cut... (Like on her tail?!) I spoke to them hoping for something other than blame. I told them that I specifically brought her to them so this wouldn't happen. Like I said, I get that she was matted but not enough to have clipper burns and missing chunks of skin. I emailed them as well and again, I was blamed for their mistakes. I am not the one who skinned my cat. Just own up to it, tell me what you're going to do to help me, and educate me on what I can do better in the future. Learn better customer service. I was not given a disclaimer or a call saying that there was a chance her skin would be clipped. If I had been given any kind of notice that my cat would've been burned or cut at all, I would've respectfully taken her somewhere else. I get it if it was maybe a couple of nicks but these are full wounds that I now need to ensure won't get infected! I am still so heated about this experience. read more

Had my dog Sofee groomed by Addy who was super polite and professional. My husband likes her really short and I like her longer. Addy patiently listened to us and did the perfect cut on our precious Sofee. Both my husband and I couldn't be happier. Well worth the cost! read more

I have taken my little dog here several times for his shaggy fur to be shaved & am very happy with the service. My dog gets to be with other dogs before/after he is groomed instead if in a kennel. I love this! Plus you can see the dogs when you walk in so you know how they are being treated. & it never smells in there. The price is right, the job they do is good, & the dogs are treated well. I will be back. read more

We were planning a vacation in Sun Lakes, AZ and the day before we were leaving our groomer had to cancel due to a family emergency. So our friends in Sun Lakes found Elite Paw Spa to take our little girl at last minute notice. She was groomed perfectly and the staff was very friendly and got her done in no time for us. Thank you and whenever we visit again and need a groomer will call you. Walt and Carol Loetell read more

I brought our two furbabies in to get their nails trimmed. No appointment necessary and they take walk ins for nail trims. I thought they were a bit pricey for a nail trim, and they also didn't trim them to the edge like most places do that I've taken them to. Customer service was good and the kids were in and out pretty quickly. read more

Been going here for a few years now and have nothing but positive things to say. Nice people and a very convenient location. Takes awhile to get an appointment, most likely due to its popularity. Will continue to use Elite Paw Spa for all our dogs. read more

Super convenient, everyone is very nice, and we're very happy! We've been using Elite Paw Spa for a while now and I just realized I hadn't reviewed them. Highly recommend, we will be back! read more

I have been to the Mesa location previously but this location is more convenient so I decided to try it. I drove to the address listed on their website to discover they were not there. The location is empty. So I tried to call. Six times. Each time I got "voicemail is not setup". I finally called the Mesa location to get the Gilbert location address and was given the cross streets. I drove around for 10 minutes because they have no signage up despite having moved 8 months ago. I lightly mention this to the person checking me on and her only response was "phones are out". They did an okay job with the grooming. Her paws fur is unevenly trimmed. She was clearly not given access to water as she drank an entire bowl when she got home and wanted more after that. Picking her up I had to repeat multiple times which dog I was there for as the employees looked at each other in confusion. The gal checking me out didn't know how much to charge me as they were "unable" to perform all the services requested. read more

I love this place. The groomers are very attentive to exactly the cut and service I am after. My dog always comes out of her appointments like she has been cared for, spoken to. She acts like she's had a good time, too Availability has not been a problem. Pricing is very reasonable. read more

I have taken both my dogs here several times. But the last two times they have come back not at all normal. They both go under the bed and won't come out My little one came home with a cough He didn't have before The terrible uneven hair cut is another reason you my think twice love to of been able to take a picture to show them read more

They do such great work on my two doggos! I have rescue poodle-ish mixes, and they always come out looking fantastic! I love that they are not kenneled, so that they are not as stressed. read more

Gilbert location is very unprofessional and poorly managed. Would not recommend taking your dogs there.

First, I just wanna say that I have never written a review before, whether a good or a bad one. But I was so upset with this so call "Sallon" that I felt the need to write this to let people know how bad my experience was. I have a Havanese dog and my husband took him to the Gilbert location to get him groomed. We have never been there before, the location is not even close to our house to begin with, the only reason we would want to try it out elite paw spa in gilbert because on Google showing they got 5 stars rating. At first the lady said will cost $40 to $50 for our dogs, when my husband pick him up, Michelle, the owner of the place also the one cut our dog hair, she said his hair is so tangled so it Was to be$50 also he tipped her $10. I would think my dogs should look beautiful. When I saw his hair cut, I got so upset, our dogs look terrible. She didn't groomed his hairs, she just shaved it off, he only have a quarter inch left. When I called the place back asking to spoke with the owner, she told me it is not her fault to cut his hairs that short. She said she told my husband at the beginning that our dog's hair is so tangle she would have to cut it short then why when he pick up our dogs she said she have to charged $10 dollars more because she have to groom his hairs more. She didn't groom it she shaved it off. I strongly advise people not to come here for your dogs service.They have done a terrible job, not good customer service at all. I'm also an salon owner I know how customer service should be. It is very important to make yours customer happy and satisfied, if I have a complaint from my customer I would apologize and appreciate the feedback so I can fix the problem, unlike this shop attitude toward the situation. read more

We own 2 miniature poodles and have tried every groomer in the valley. We live in chandler but take them to Scottsdale, it seems no one was able to shape symmetrically, ears different lengths, feet trimmed with hair fizzing out and hair length different on each side of dog. My wife was never happy with their cuts. Problem is driving up to Scottsdale for a freaking haircut. So we tried out Elite Paw Spa and were happy beyond belief. Erica and Sarah took our two girls and worked wonders. Show quality cuts and at a really affordable rate. They treated our "kids" like their own and did a beautiful job. I'm happy that they are minutes away off Ocatillo and Gilbert, what a friendly group of people that really care and know what they're doing. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!!! Michelle the owner has taken my dogs in every time I'm in a "pinch". I have 3 dogs, and they groom them all. Monia is my groomer and she is fabulous at her craft! I have called her to also have my friends animal groomed and they get them in ASAP! One of my yorkies is rude to say the least and they love him through his stress! My Pit is scared of water and the bathers are so patient with her, and when I pick we up she is a happy pretty Pit girl! Thank you also how much for loving on my dogs and making them look and smell great! And thank you for being patient with them!!! read more

I was told that Michelle was going to groom my dog and when I got there they shifted his appointment to someone else. Don't know whether to laugh or cry. I asked them not to use the clippers on his back and they did. Every where they clipped him is uneven. He's a mess and the only thing that will make it better is time. Never again. read more

Great groomer for our two small dogs. We've been taking them both here once every 4-6 weeks for a year and they seem to enjoy it and always look so cute. I especially love that the dogs can run around and play with each other while they're waiting for you to pick them up instead of putting them in a cage like our last groomer. read more
