I found "Just 4 Paws" to be clean, friendly and to have a talented and professional staff!!! This was my puppy Liberty's first grooming. A first for all of us! It was important to me that this would be a positive experience for her. It turns out "Just for Paws" had this as their top priority as well. We went there to see "Erica" and she was amazing! She gave such a beautiful cut! Erica I am impressed with you, the service, the cut and with the overall effort that was made to keep Liberty from stressing. Not only was she given breaks throughout the appointment, but I was encouraged to call and check on her progress while she was there. I also received a call asking permission to distract Liberty with some healthy Paleo treats in order to successfully trim her face and beautifully, I might add. They were sure to check with me to see if she had any food allergies first. I was so appreciative of this since she has a delicate stomach. Something I never even thought to mention. They even allowed my 8 year old son to be on the salon side for a few minutes. Very accommodating! I was called 15 minutes before Liberty's appointment would end in order to make the trip over to the salon, as I live in the next town over. I'm so grateful to have found this place! I would recommend "Just 4 Paws" to anyone looking for an excellent groomer, attention to detail and a friendly and professional staff. Thank you so much for a great experience!!! We will definitely be back!!! read more

I have been coming to Just 4 Paws for about 4 1/2 years now with my Teacup Maltese, and the salon is very cute and very clean, the only salon my dog has ever gone into not shaking and scared. The staff is friendly and professional, the owner Erica is very nice and does an amazing job running her Pet Salon/Spa. I don't need to feel scared or nervous leaving my dog with them for hours to get pampered beautifully! Rose does a phenomenal job with Myori and is extremely talented at what she does!! He is always happy to come see Rose, as are we to see her, she is truly amazing! They offer a great blueberry facial for the eyes (you know the little dogs get the stuff around the eyes) and it gets it all off so nicely! They offer pet safe dye as well ( my dog loves to look different ) and Rose is an excellent dog colorist as well as groomer, she will sometimes subtlety do his ears and tail (at my request ofcoarse) and more recently I had asked for a "Panda Look" and Rose did such an amazing job people will sometimes mistake him for a little panda! (Exactly what I wanted) So whether you are bringing your furry loved one in for a cut, a spa treatment, or even for a little color! Just 4 Paws Pet Spa is the only place to go in this part of NNJ, I don't even live nearby but I simply will not take my baby anywhere else! read more

This isn't a typical review--because I'm the owner--and I'd like to say something that matters. Most people aren't really taking care of themselves these days. They're pushing through, running on empty, ignoring what their body, emotions and minds are telling them... and then wondering why they feel off all the time. And when it comes to energy? Most people aren't thinking about this at all. But we can feel it. We feel it when we walk into a space and it's heavy. We feel when we're completely drained after being around someone negative or toxic. When our home doesn't feel calm, even when everything looks "fine." When our body won't settle, no matter how tired we are. That's the level I work on. This space isn't for everyone. It's for people who: * know they're carrying a lot (even if they don't always have words for it) * are tired of just pushing through * deeply want their home, their body, their mind, their family, and even their companion animals to feel more settled * are open to working with their own awareness in a different way This only works when we're open to it. We can't force this kind of care. If this resonates, it doesn't require belief or effort. Just awareness. And sometimes that's enough for change to begin . read more

My very large golden retriever suffers from severe skin and food allergies. After spending almost $600 in vet bills after his grooming appointments at his old groomer, I knew she was doing something wrong. A few days after his appointments he would begin chewing his skin and getting horrible hotspots. He has to have special care when being groomed. (specific shampoo from his vet and NOTHING ELSE can touch his skin) After calling many different groomers and speaking to the owners, Just 4 Paws was the only place that made me feel comfortable enough to allow to groom my golden. The owner spoke to me over the phone and sounded very experienced and educated in dealing with dogs with allergies. She even figured out what my old groomer was doing wrong just though our conversation. I can honestly say I have found a grooming facility that not only treats my dog with special care like he needs, but actually knows what they are doing and are VERY good at it. My dog's cut was perfect! He looked amazing, smelled wonderful, and most importantly I wasn't at the vet a week later spending hundreds of dollars on allergy treatments. They get an A+ from me and my golden Cody! Thank you Just 4 Paws! read more

I can't say enough about Erica and her staff at Just 4 Paws..from the mintue they greeted us at the door until the final hair is brushed or the bow put in the her hair the attention and care my baby "Sandy" received was exceptional. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would ! Sandy had some medical issues this past summer and Erica listened to every word I said and was sincerely concerned about her current condition. Thank God Sandy has fully recovered !! Sandy looked wonderful and left the shop very happy ( I think she saw her profile in the mirror and liked her bows) I would recommed Just 4 Paws to anyone who is looking for a wonderful groomer. One last issue I would like to make everyone aware of.. Erica took the time to explain the seat belt harness I inquired about, she explained how to use it and that it is the law that dogs be restrained in the back seat, she made me aware of the ticket everyone could be given if they were pulled over. So seatbelt your baby in the back seat and take a ride to Just 4 Paws and check out their services, you won't be sorry. Thanks Again Erica...See You Soon read more

We recently had our new puppy Oliver groomed at Just 4 Paws Pet Spa. It was our first experience with a groomer since Oliver is our first puppy and it was Oliver's first visit to the groomer. Needless to say, we were really picky with the place we choose for our little baby. After we read all the positive reviews for this place we decided to give Just 4 Paws a chance and boy are we so happy we did. Erica did a fantastic job! As soon as my husband dropped him off he said he felt at peace because of the warm welcomes from the staff and how at ease Oliver seemed to be. When we picked him up we absolutely loved what they did! They gave him the exact kind of cut we had asked for and he smelled fantastic and felt even better - he was so soft! The best part is when we picked him up, Oliver didn't seem frantic to come home - he actually really enjoyed himself at Just 4 Paws. We will definitely be going back! Thanks again to all the staff that made our puppy feel safe and look so well groomed. We would recommend them to all of our puppy loving friends! read more

Moved to NJ from Manhattan almost a year ago. Tried a local pet groomer, but wasn't getting the quality cut I was accustomed to with so much competition for NYC groomers. Even with all the choices in NYC, I had to find one that listened to my notes. The deal breaker is when they cut my cavalier's ears straight across - like a dutch boy. I always specify round cut and please keep as long as possible for my girl Violet. Not only did Rose give me the cut I asked for, she told me that the straight cut was meant for male dogs! I didn't know that. My dog looked like a supermodel when Rose was finished with her and addressed her skin allergy issues with sensitivity and professionalism. Not only do they trim your dog's nails, but they FILE them as well. I never heard of that. The extra treatment I chose was for the paw pad moisturizer, and it really worked. My local vet recommended Just 4 Paws Pet Spa, and I am glad he did. I won't go anywhere else from now on. They really love the dogs, and treat them like royalty!! read more

I just got back from taking my 2 rescued Labs for their much needed 1st. bath at Just4Paws. They glisten and it's not just that they have lost all of the dirt that they have been lugging around but that they look BEAUTIFUL. Their ears have an almost translucent quality to them. Their teeth look like they have been preped to shoot a toothpaste commercial. After walking around in a tumbleweed of hair lately I ordered the shedding treatment. They are so sleek that I may have to change their names from Jeets and Sweets to Silk and Satin. Spa is a fitting part of the name my dogs were pampered from the pads of their paws to the tips of their ears. Not the least of the services provided is tender loving care with the emphasis on CARE. My only dissappointment was that I didn't take them in sooner. The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is over. If they have a category for transforming ragamuffins into ribbon winners I could have won a trophy. I would gratefully display it in the window of Just4Paws. read more

I brought my 11 month old Pomeranian Lil Jerry Seinfeld in for his very first grooming and I can't believe I waited this long to do so! Prior to booking my appointment I called other groomers who were trying to book me 2 weeks in advance which didn't work with my schedule and wouldn't allow me to stay and hang out with my dog while getting groomed (which I wanted to do since it would be his first time and he's a tiny maniac ) I called Just 4 Paws and they were able to make us an appointment the very next day and encouraged that I stay if that's what made me feel comfortable ! Rose was our groomer and she was very patient , gentle and loving with Jerry. Everyone at the salon was extremely friendly and wonderful with all of the animals they worked on. Not only do they do great work but they all exude positive calming energy with the animals . You can tell everyone that works here is super passionate about what they do! I can't say enough about how amazing this business is!!!! read more

We took our 5 year old Flat-Coated Retriever / Border Collie mix here 3 times in 2014 (May, July, Sept) and loved this place. Very relaxed and kind staff who give a good vibe when you meet them and are great communicators (taking notes of style we wanted, etc.) The only drawback (for us) is that it's almost 30 min. away, so we picked a closer groomer to where we live for this summer's grooming. Boy, did we make a mistake switching to someone else. One of the best things that Just 4 Paws did for our dog was the "de-shed" which meant that with some moderate brushing, she almost NEVER shed last summer. The other place we tried a few times said they did a de-shed, but they must not do it correctly because she has been shedding all summer (and now into fall as well!) We are going back to Just 4 Paws for upcoming grooming. It's worth the extra commute distance for us to get the job done right. Highly recommend - good value, great staff, good communication. read more

We took our 9 month old G.S.P (Bane) to J.4.P spa for his very FIRST grooming. The experience was amazing. On our arrival to the spa, we were HIT with a HEAVY dose of professionalism by a very pleasant owner and staff. You can FEEL and SEE the LOVE and CARE inside J.4.P spa from all the staff members to the pets they were grooming, and even to Bane who they just met. We noticed the therapeutic mood ( mellow and soothing music being played ) and how CLEAN the venue is. Another very important detail , was the ability to visually see the staff groom some of the pets RIGHT UP IN THE FRONT OF THE SPA. J.4.P spa did an excellent job on Bane. They even offered extra options of care to his face, teeth, and PAWS and ALL FOR A VERY GOOD PRICE. *****if Bane could talk , he would say Just 4 Paws Spa was AMAZING....A GROOMING SPA PALACE.......I CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK. read more

I have taken my dog to many groomers over the past year, however, this has been, by far, the best groomer I have taken her to. My dog gets extremely anxious in new environments and would always come home sick (due to stress) after visiting the groomer. The customer service is outstanding! Just 4 Paws attentively listened to all of my concerns and ensured that my dog, Rosie, was stress-free during the duration of her visit. I was told that if she was to get stressed out that I would be notified immediately. This is the first groomer that has ever made Rosie feel comfortable and relaxed. The employees gave Rosie a warm welcome and when I came to pick her up, she was being carried. Just 4 Paws' professionalism and dedication to making every dog feel comfortable are outstanding and highly commended. I will definitely become a regular! read more

We had an incredible experience at Just 4 Paws Spa!!! My husband took our Maltipoo puppy Coco to Just 4 Paws for the first time and we were blown away! We were initially nervous because her fur on her ears and tail was badly matted but the owner Erica and the groomer Eleni did such an amazing job with her. They were reassuring and talked us through the process. It was the best haircut she has ever gotten! The cut was done so professionally and carefully. You can tell they put so much love and care into their work! We have tried so many places including driving her to the city but we can honestly say, Just 4 Paws is the besttt hands down!!! Erica, Eleni, Chris, and the staff took such wonderful care of her, even Coco loved her new hair cut and was so happy! Thank you again Just 4 Paws! Cant wait to come back for our next visit! read more

Highly recommend!!! I've been to several groomers with my Shit Tzu and finally I found a great place. I drive from Wayne NJ every other week just to get my dog groomed here. Trust me, its worth the trip. They have consistently shown to be a fantastic groomer - not just a first visit - each time I go I feel the same - Ahhhh. The facility itself is very inviting, open and clean. The groomers are the best part of this place - friendly and warm - you can tell they truly care about these animals. I explained to them how my dog hates being in a cage and every time I come to pick her up she's walking around freely or someone is holding her in their arms - it doesn't get any better than that. They have online appointments and reminders - which I love...I cant say enough about this place. I'm just glad I found them. read more

My husband and I are originally from Delaware (now living in Belleville NJ) and have taken our 3 year old maltese to the grooming salon over there from day 1. It's been our 'go to place' and honestly, the ONLY place we thought we'd ever trust and like..... WRONG- Just 4 Paws completely changed my mind! It was the awesome reviews that pushed me to try this place and the amazing customer service and the job they did to Bubba that will absolutely bring me back there for Bubba's next grooming needs! They were so nice and helpful and they made bubba smell and look like a million bucks! EVERYTHING was done properly and Bubba didn't look frightened or scared when we took him home (a look he's often had at other places we've tried in the NY/NJ area). THANK GOD FOR JUST 4 PETS SPA!!! No more 3 hour drives to Delaware =] read more

I took my boxer/shepherd mix, Molly here for the first time and not only are they top of the line in pet grooming, they are top of the line in pet caring. They took the time to ask and answer any questions, and when they saw that I was a little anxious about leaving my furbaby (as I always stay and wait) and they assured me that it would be ok to hang around while Molly was being taken care of, but that it would be a couple of hours. Molly seemed to love them right off the bat, so I was at ease leaving here in their care. The staff is pleasant, helpful and most importantly caring. My baby never looked, felt or smelled better. Whenever I call there, someone always answers the phone and before they did anything extra, they called me first. We will definitely be going back. read more

I used to like this place and spoke very highly of it until this year. I called to make numerous appts through the out the year and they told me many time they where either booked or too busy on the days I needed. Recently I called and they told me they will only cut my dog if they sedate him because he is a rough cut. I been there many times before since he was 1 and he is now 3 and never have they told me he was a rough cut. I didn't like their answer and thought it was wrong to sedate my dog. They told me to speak to my vet that this happens often and when I did his exact response was if they need to put a 5lb dog to sleep to cut his hair I wouldn't take him there. So I listened to my vet and found a new groomer who is cheaper and willing to cut my dog without sedation. read more

CAT grooming! My long haired kitty's coat got totally out of hand and filled with mats. He looked neglected although we tried our best to brush him. A friend of mine told me about a groomer who specializes in cats! It never occurred to me that there could be cat groomers! Erica at Just for Paws Pet Spa has the perfect cat temperament. She is very gentle and patient. She carefully removed all his matting, brushed him thoroughly and clipped his nails. I understand she also shampoos cats, but we were only interested in ridding our kitty of all his mats. The experience was more stressful for my husband than the kitty! She did a great job! Her staff was very friendly and pet centered. It was obvious they all love animals. We would definitely go back. read more
