    We love Muddy Paws! They are wonderful with our little terrier pup, very kind and gentle, and they do fabulous work!

    Before:Happy dirty Husky, After: very tired Husky...

    The issue here is that *in my experience*, the price fluctuates depending on if you call for a verbal quote, or go in to read the written down prices yourself. No one is perfect and this happens everywhere. When I called, I was not asked about my dog's breed, I did tell the person I talked to my dog's weight, but that was it. It was my first time here, so I'm assuming it was just a miscommunication that I was misquoted on price. In my experience, this is something most business owners apologize for causing confusion over and privately gently re-educate their staff to make sure it doesn't happen again. Another issue here is that dogs will have bleeding toenails if you cut their nails too short... it just happens sometimes. This can sometimes be painful for a dog. This is something that most groomers fess up to and most grooming places apologize about. Most pet owners are understanding about this... because ya know, again - no one is perfect and we have all been there. I'd love to take my reviews down and forget about the trauma this business caused my sweet goofy, loving Husky because it's in the past, and my dog is fine now with a gentle groomer. However, Courtney - the owner, responded to my review with immaturity, vulgarity, defensiveness, and breedism regarding me relating my Husky's experience. It's true, I did not initially want to leave a bad review, who does? But as time passed, I realized my pet had a bad experience here and that affected him at home. Since then he has had better experiences at other places. I wanted to leave a review as I didn't want it to happen to other Husky owners. It may have been more than a year ago, but I still remember being shocked when the girl who washed my dog told me that she sprayed my dog with water in the face. How is that acceptable? That is considered a punishment *in my opinion*. A better way would be to gently washcloth a dog's face to keep the water out of their ears and eyes, again IMO. In my opinion, a business can only improve if leadership is willing to accept their faults, own up to them with integrity to make things right to their customers, and consistently work to improve in all areas. One idea I have for Courtney is perhaps adding in cameras to the bathing area, so pet owners can verify the treatment of their animals. Accidents happen, so accountability with the truth of a camera - would be a win win for the business and pet owners alike.

    I used to love this pet grooming shop!  I have a Himalayan chocolate point cat that sheds a lot during the summer. Every spring for the past 7 years he would come in for his fur shaved for the hot summer season. The staff was calm, kind, and patient with him, and they somehow got him squeaky clean, bright, and smelling like deliciousness. Best of all, he loved it like a day at the spa. And it was at an affordable price $35, since then it came under new ownership and the price continues to increase. Unfortunately the price quoted to me this year has more than doubled since the first time, and I've decided to groom him at home from now on. It's obvious they care about their clients pets and they do amazing work, and at a price that was a good deal, but not anymore.

    My sweet Great Pyrenees waiting for me at the front desk to pick him up! He looks so happy!

    I've been taking my two boys here for the last half year & I am OBSESSED. They treat my dogs right every time, the fact that they allow the dogs to roam around (behind gates) with other dogs in between washes is great because my corgi loves making new friends. I've had no issues with them thus far. Their pricing is fair in my eyes considering they've won awards before & my dogs always smell AMAZING - and the smell doesn't just last a few days, but nearly an entire MONTH. I highly recommend them if you're in the market for a new groomer. This is the third groomer we've been to & I'm happy to say I think we've found the one

    Would not recommend this grooming shop. Specially had a bad experience with Emily. She wounded my dog and did not even mention it. Very rude and hasty. Emily was on her cell phone the majority of the time! Finally getting around to reviewing on yelp. Save yourself the bad experience and go elsewhere. Many people have bad experiences here.

    They deserve 10 stars! I took my new dog here who was a rescue and very large. He had been neglected before we got him. I had no idea how soft and clean he would be. They did a beautiful job! They even put a cute Christmas bandana on him. They made him feel at ease right away. He wouldn't let me clean his ears, and even the vet couldn't trim his toenails, but Muddy Paws did all of that with no problem. He was happy when I picked him up.

    Muddy Paws is amazing!! My Italian Mastiff goes once a month to get groomed and he always comes back happy and squeaky clean. I would not trust anyone else to groom my beast. Muddy Paws is the best!

    We just LOVE Muddy Paws. They always take such good care of our precious pup!! We always feel comfort in knowing they take such good care of our old boy. Thank you, Muddy Paws!!!

    My pup Thor after a groom at MP. Despite his pouty look, he came back one happy pup!

    See all

    Mel gave my chihuahua a bath and cut her nails. My dog can be skittish around strangers, but Mel…read moredid well with her. The process was easy to book, and coming to the house was so convenient. Price was reasonable, and, overall, the service did not take long and my chihuahua was back inside again, happy, smelling good, and looking great. I would definitely recommend Mel and Bubble Buddies!

    I scheduled with Bubble Buddies primarily because I have a very large and strong dog who is…read morecompletely blind and hates baths. She plants her feet and won't move if she feels pressured. She relies on my voice to calm her and I wanted to be nearby at least at first. This isn't something the nearest groomers would allow, so a mobile groomer seemed ideal. I decided to give a spa day to my second dog at the same time, in part because I wanted to make it worthwhile for this company to come to my house. My second dog doesn't like other dogs so we avoid situations like a groomer's. It was a wonderful experience for all three of us. The groomer had been a vet tech and she sincerely liked my girls. My blind dog, who is shy, trusted her right away and that's unusual. She was sensitive to their personalities and needs and so gentle (yet effective) with them. The groomer was really able to focus on each dog and personalize the grooming experience to them. For example, one dog was afraid of the blow dryer so she skipped that. She was sensitive to their needs, and that, as well as having the van come right to our house, was well worth the cost. I'm so pleased to find a service like this in Humboldt. I'm from Honolulu and we didn't even have one there. My special needs rescue dogs have endured a lot and it gives me great pleasure to treat them well and support people who do the same. I also got a big kick out of the bows on their collars after they were bathed. Generally I see little fluffy dogs with them after grooming. My sweet girls, although vastly different from expensive purebreds, looked even better. I hope this business is successful as I look forward to utilizing their helpful expertise again. Thank you, Bubble Buddies, for treating my dogs with respect and kindness, and giving them a positive grooming experience in a safe environment.
