    Watson & his new best friend

    EveryPup is awesome! I am a first-time dog owner, so I needed the help with socialization and training. Also my husband works from home, which wasn't ideal for his work productivity or the puppy's enrichment. Our dog is so much better off than he would've been without EveryPup. The owner Dave gives us updates after each session, including videos when requested so we can mimic Dave's techniques. Dave is always available for clarifications. He responds quickly to texts and calls. The staff is nice and friendly. The hours are great. They're always open including holidays (?!) I'm glad to know there's a place we can board Watson if we ever go on vacation. At one point, another pup scratched Watson under the eye, and I appreciated that Dave was up front about it, cleaned it, and answered our questions; the cut is healing up just fine. Watson even made a new best friend at EveryPup, and we will be meeting up for a puppy play date soon!

    Dave is the owner and lead trainer. My dog has been going there for a year since he was 4 months old. He's a super energetic and large Sheepadoodle. It wears him out after a day at EveryDog. Sam the groomer is fantastic!

    Dougie
    Derek G.

    Our dog, Dougie loves going to EveryDog! Dave, and his staff always take great care of Dougie, and they seem to want what's best for every dog at their facility. Dougie always loves to go to EveryDog to see his friends, and all of the trainers. Whenever Dougie is there, the trainers always seem to be in control, and supervise the dogs to make sure they're playing correctly. I'm happy we've found a great daycare for Dougie to hang out when we have to find a place for him while we are at work.

    My dog Mochi has been going to Everydog for 2 years since we moved to the area. She goes there for everything: daycare, boarding, and grooming. She loves going there that it is obvious in her reaction. Everytime she sees that we are at Everydog, she rushes in and doesn't look back. We trust Dave and the team will take great care of her and her other dog friends. Highly recommend for anyone looking for training, daycare, boarding, or grooming.

    Brooke did incredible on my doodle
    Parisa M.

    When I tell you I searched for daysssss for a good doodle groomer, I mean it. I checked out almost every groomer in the area, and I finally found reviews on Brooke, and the photos were promising. So I booked my pups first grooming at 16 weeks with Brooke. When we arrived, the facility was clean and smelled good, and the whole staff had smiles on their faces. You can tell they love their job and they love these pups so much. My girl got comfortable very quickly. Brooke went over the plan for my pup, showing she had paid attention to the notes I put on the file for how I would like her to look. When I picked her up, she was SO CUTE. Just absolute perfection. I also appreciated that she didn't take all day, Brooke was right on schedule, and as a busy mom, this was super appreciated...my old dog (rip) used to go to a different grooming place and they would take foreverrrrrrr. We are so glad we found Brooke and can't wait to be back.

    We've been bringing our 3 year old Bichon Poodle to EveryDog almost every week since he was 6 months old and joined their EveryPup program. It's honestly been one of the best things we've done for him! The program has really helped him socialize and learn how to respect other dogs. We always book baths with Brooke, and our pup comes home smelling spectacular every single time. Brooke is wonderful; she always goes the extra mile and is super flexible if we need to adjust our schedule. One thing I really appreciate about EveryDog is that they actually take the time to assess each dog before allowing them into daycare. This gives us so much peace of mind since it helps avoid serious problems you hear about at other places, like fights or dogs that just don't get along. Their trainers are awesome - super patient and understanding and I like that they stick to enforcing routine vaccines. Safety and well-being clearly come first here. It's also a little thrill whenever our dog gets featured on their social media accounts - so fun to see him having a blast and making new friends! If I could suggest one thing to improve, it would be the quality and coverage of the webcams. It would be awesome to have a clearer view and a bit more access to all the different play areas. But overall, we love EveryDog and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring daycare for their dog!

    Pistachio gaining confidence
    Graeme H.

    Wow! When my sister recommended socialization classes for our new puppy, we were skeptical, but after looking into it, we felt there was no harm in it, and we are so glad we signed up. In fact, we kept signing up for classes! Socialization is key when a puppy is at a certain age range, and they say the window closes by week 16 or 20 for them. Why is it key? Dogs do actually have to learn to play with other dogs, and this process solidifies the neurons in the puppy's brain. Pistachio and his new friends actually weren't shy with playing or interacting with each other....play wrestling and running around. Our moderator and trainer, Windsey, is amazing with these creatures, and most importantly, she understands how a dog learns. Pistachio really responds well to her in the class and learned confidence and socialization. We can't wait to take him back for his first grooming.

    Buttercup just wanting out the entire time she was there.

    I brought my 6 month old terrier mix rescue siblings to EveryDog for a meet and greet. They had never been to a daycare setting before and they were very scared and unsure. One of the puppies, Buttercup, passed the meet n greet test, although she was extremely nervous. My other puppy, Franc, didn't pass, as he was too protective of his space and would bark and act defensive with approaching dogs. He did not bite anyone but he would act afraid and snippy, letting the other dogs know not to get too close. EveryDog said they would be willing to retest him the next day. In the meantime, I dropped buttercup off for her first time at daycare for two hours. She was absolutely miserable. I watched her on the webcam and she was under distress the entire time, trying to get out the door. No one came to console her or try to comfort her. She had no interaction with anyone the entire time. It was heartbreaking to see her so sad. When I came to pick her up with franc.. they said they could test him one more time.. so I agreed and they still failed him. I asked if there was an option for training to help socialize him. They said no. They just refused him... and then telling me buttercup doesn't enjoy daycare, which clearly she didn't. I am new to all this daycare stuff and didn't know what to expect. I figured the pups would struggle somewhat at first, feeling uncomfortable in a strange place... but this place and the people were not friendly or inviting at all. I felt a bit of shock when I left with my two dogs and the way they were both rejected. It made me feel really sad for my dogs, as I felt maybe I wouldn't be able to find a place for them at all, and I felt completely hopeless. And as I was driving home, I decided there had to be a better place that would accept them.. I pulled over and looked on yelp and saw another place that gets good reviews and actually closer to my house. I drove directly there. I took my dogs inside and right away, three lovely young ladies greeted us and had nothing but love for my two puppies. It was such an amazing experience. I made an appt to bring them back the next day for a meet n greet and they both passed with flying colors!! I've waited to write this review because 'EveryDog' made me second guess my dog's character/behavior, and I needed to make sure it wasn't my dogs. They've been going to this new place a couple times a week for the past month with no problems. Franc and Buttercup pull me to the door as they are so excited when I drop them off at their new daycare. I have to say, this experience gave me so much anxiety. It's been a relief to find this new place, and all the staff there who love my babies. I'm posting a few photos.. the first few are from Everydog.. my Buttercup at the bottom of the photos trying to get out. The other photos are Franc and Buttercup at their new daycare.

    After haircut! Brooke did an amazing job!
    Christina L.

    I highly recommend Brooke! I brought my toy poodle for a full groom and she did such an amazing job. If you are poodle breed owner, you know how the hair gets tangled and matted easily. Brooke dematted and combed all the tangles. Brooke is super professional, knowledgeable and considerate. We discussed how I would like the haircut before taking my fur baby in. You can also add in sample pictures when you make the appointment online. The portal was easy to use and you will need to add the vaccination document or bring them with you as a first time customer. The full groom took about an hour and fur baby returned with fresh cut and smelling like berries :) Quality service with friendly staffs. Brooke took such good care of my girl. I absolutely adore the hair cut and will be coming back for Brooke. Thank you so much!

My 54 lb Jindo does not do well with strangers, she is all bark but no bite. I was very anxious bringing her to any dog care but Wendy was willing to do an assessment prior to their stay. This was my very first time doing any sort of dog care so I was really worried about leaving them. They did really well and my other dog had so much fun (he's a social butterfly). The main reason I chose this place vs all the other dog boarding is because they offer a "home" living experience rather than a facility/warehouse. My dogs always freely roams the house and lays on our bed, couch, wherever they please so I wanted something similar and Wendy's house provided that. I couldn't bare the thought of them being kept in a narrow sleeping quarter locked throughout the day. Thank you for taking great care of my babies! This place will definitely be my go-to for any future dog boarding.

    It pains me deeply to write this review, but I believe our experience needs to be shared with other…read moredog owners who may be considering leaving their pets with a dog daycare or boarding provider. It has been exactly one month since we lost our beloved French Bulldog, Louie, to heat stroke after leaving him with OC Paw House in Tustin, California. We dropped Louie off at approximately 9:05 a.m. for what was supposed to be a four-hour half-day visit. The purpose was simply to see how well he interacted with the other dogs before we considered boarding him there for a week later in September. I believed I had done my due diligence as a responsible pet owner. The business had more than 100 five-star reviews, and I could not find even a single review below five stars. They also had many photos of french bulldogs on their social media. That gave me a great deal of confidence in leaving Louie in their care. Unfortunately, what happened that morning is something our family will live with forever. At 11:33 a.m., I received a photo and text showing Louie with several other dogs. In the photo, what appeared to be Louie's vomit was clearly visible near his front paws. When I later examined the photo more carefully, I noticed that it had been taken at approximately 10:18 a.m. That timeline is extremely important. Wendy, the owner, later told me that Louie was having difficulty with the heat while at an unshaded dog park on an approximately 81-degree day. She said that after about 5-10 minutes, they decided to take him back to the house. The house is approximately an eight-minute drive from the dog park. Yet I did not receive a phone call telling me that Louie was in serious distress until approximately 11:45 a.m. I was then told that he was not breathing. That leaves me with a question I still cannot get past: What happened between approximately 10:18 a.m., when Louie was apparently already showing signs of distress, and the time I was finally contacted? As Louie's owner, it is devastating to think that he may have been struggling for an extended period of time without receiving the urgent intervention he needed. In my opinion, what happened demonstrates a serious lack of training, judgment, and emergency preparedness. This is especially troubling because Wendy told me that she owns or has owned a French Bulldog and understands that Frenchies do not tolerate heat well. Brachycephalic breeds such as French Bulldogs are widely known to be particularly vulnerable to overheating. Afterward, I obtained a report from OC Animal Care. Based on my reading of that report, I learned information about the business and its licensing status that I did not know when I entrusted Louie to their care. The report also contains statements regarding overnight boarding and the individuals who provide dog-walking services that, in my view, do not match my understanding of how the business was represented or operated. I encourage anyone considering this business--or any dog daycare or boarding provider--to verify its licensing, insurance, training, emergency procedures, supervision practices, and experience caring for your specific breed. Do not rely solely on online reviews. I wish I had known to ask more questions. Louie was not just our dog. He was part of our family, and losing him this way has been heartbreaking. I am writing this review because I cannot change what happened to Louie, but perhaps sharing our experience will cause another dog owner to ask the questions I wish I had asked--and potentially prevent another family from experiencing the loss that ours has endured.

Second time boarding with them (12 hours) he was returned to me COVERED in both pee and actual poop on him. Before he was return the second time, the staff told me he had a "little accident" and asked if I wanted him bathed or just wiped down. After already waiting an extra 1.5 hours because of the cut operational hours, I said just wiped down him down and I'll bath him later. It was clearly not a little accident and wasn't even wiped down. The attendant brought him out less than a minute later. Wiping down a dirty, poop covered dog would take longer than one minute. The extent of the odor took 3 baths and he is now dealing with multiple stomach issues results in vomiting and diarrhea. He also was returned with a clearly visible scab and swelling on his nose. Trying to contact management has been extremely disappointing after a very disappointing 12 hr dog boarding visit. The asst. manager seemed to be the only one to take the time to respond and discuss these issues, but very limited to how she can remedy or alleviate some of these issues. I have been waiting for a week now on Janelle, the top Manager of both locations to reach out with fur to we discussions about the incredibly low standards, cleanliness, and overall care for our pets staying there. Seems like Janelle couldn't care less for the well-being of the dogs she is being entrusted to take care of while she is the one in charge from what I've been told.

The front office staff is always friendly, helpful, and informative, and their communication is amazing all around! I especially want to give a huge shoutout to Santanna and Ranaye. They are both so wonderful and have always made us feel welcomed and cared for. You can tell they genuinely love the dogs and what they do, and that means so much to me. We have been taking Nosework group class with Steve and it's been so much fun! Scooter gets really into it and she's so eager to please. We've really enjoyed the variety of classes offered at Wags and Wiggles! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for daycare, boarding, or training!

In all seriousness wags and wiggles is amazing in everything they do. Waffles is not a, what say you... level 1 dog parent dog, you know the kind of "dandelion" you give food, potty, and water. She is the dog where you need take the derivative, integrate, multi variable calculus, oops you forgot to do the math proof and now she has bad poops. So, the extreme detailed and precise care W&W provides is so, so invaluable. They're really great people :)

    When you find a service provider that goes above and beyond, you MUST leave a review! The owner,…read moreCarrie, has taken such thorough care of my dog, Gracie. She did this at a point where I took my dog as a last ditch effort. My dog has extreme allergies (both food and environmental) and scratches ALL day long (if she's not eating or sleeping, she is scratching). Her skin was in terrible condition and she had been ripping her hair out and causing hot spots. When I say I took the dog in horrible condition, I am not exaggerating. Our Vet has given us advice (guesses) and given the dog prescriptions, supplements, injections, and tests....with ZERO improvement! I've spent thousands of dollars trying to get our dog healthy and nothing ever helped! Based on a recommendation to take Gracie to The Spaw I dove in telling myself this is the last time. If this fails, we will just do the best to let her live her life out as comfortably as possible, which is a sad place to be as a dog mom. She's not even 7 years old and she still has a lot of life to live. Meeting Carrie was the best thing that has ever happened to our dog! She recommended some specific testing and said that Shih Tzus often have low Zinc which can lead to skin issues. We had her tested by a Vet and sure enough, her Zinc was SO LOW!!! She made some suggestions about supplements we could give her. At a follow up test, we could see some improvement in her Zinc levels. She also said that it looks like my dog had mange and that Shih Tzus are also susceptible to mites. Our Vet never once mentioned that as a potential cause nor did she test for mange. We did a skin scraping with a different Vet who found no mites, but she suggested we put her on a mite medication for a couple of months. The stuff that came out of/off my dog was disgusting (old die off???)! Through skin cytology, we also confirmed Gracie had serious yeast overgrowth. That was not a mystery to me, because our house smelled so bad! I didn't even like to have people over because it was so embarrassing. Carrie gave Gracie sulfur baths and used some other amazing technologies on her; Ozone baths, red light, blue light, and micro bubbles to name a few. It was a lot of work, but I can tell you for the first time in years, I'm actually optimistic about Gracie's future AND my house no longer smells disgusting. We boarded her for a period of time so we could do some deep cleaning and reset our house before she returned. I'm so glad I made that initial call to The Spaw. Carrie truly loves my dog and my dog loves Carrie! When we drive to The Spaw my dog knows. When we hit Tustin Ranch Road from the 5 Freeway, Gracie starts going crazy! When we get there, she practically jumps out of the car. Thankfully, her harness is clipped in, so she can't get out of her car seat without help. ;) On the subject of Boarding: I love that The Spaw has staff on the premises 24 hours a day and that the dogs aren't locked in crates all day. I am so grateful to see my dog's hair growing back and for her to have noticeably more energy and MUCH less scratching! Carrie clearly loves animals and is a true blessing. She admitted that my dog's issues forced her to do deep dive research to find help for Gracie. I will forever be grateful for the life she has given back to my dog! She is much more than "a groomer!"

I waited until they opened at 7:00 AM and had to rebook my entire flight. When I picked Sam up the next evening, employee Landen told me Lea has done this before and I was not the first customer this had happened to. I immediately contacted Paw Sweet Paw and requested a response from management/ownership. Three days later: absolutely no response. Missing a confirmed drop-off that causes a customer to miss a flight is unacceptable. Learning it has allegedly happened before is worse. Having management completely ignore it afterward is why I will never trust this location with my dog again. Their Google reviews are horrific!! DO NOT leave your pet with this company! What an embarrassment to the city of Irvine!!! I've also emailed info@ci.irvine.ca.us & animalcare@cityofirvine.org experience directly to the City of Irvine. Irvine Animal Services regulates animal establishments in the city, and complaints help the City identify issues that may warrant review or inspection. We need to take this above and beyond writing a yelp review. As you can tell, it looks like they've hired someone to give basic responses to all their negative reviews. This changes nothing. Business stays open & negligent service continues.
