    Bear after a hair cut
    Grace Z.

    I've been to Muddy Paws before with my sweet Morkie, Bear, and I honestly should've written this review a long time ago! Every visit has been such a great experience. The staff is kind, professional, and so loving with Bear. He always comes out looking adorable, smelling fresh, and wagging his little tail. They truly know how to make your pet feel safe and pampered. The salon is clean, calm, and you can tell they take pride in what they do. Whether it's a full groom or just a quick touch-up, they always go the extra mile. Thank you, Muddy Paws, for taking such good care of Bear! We'll continue to come back and recommend you to all our fellow dog lovers!

    Love this place! My dog comes out so fresh and clean and they take great care with her. Took some updated pictures since they did a remodel. Super cute! Thanks all!

    We love this place. All 3 of our dogs are very comfortable here and they come out looking so fresh. They take great care of them. I would 100% recommend taking your doggo here!

    Just a bunch of cute pix of the pups. Like I stated earlier they do an amazing job!

    They have been hands down the best fit for my pups Stormie & Yoshi and also Jade the tiniest of the three. The staff is very good with them and I have recommended them to friends and family in the past. Two of the three are mini schnauzers and their cuts are always so perfect and on point. I promise you won't regret taking your fur babies to them.

    Cute decor in the waiting area.

    I have been bringing my maltese Sophie here for almost 2 years. They are friendly, do a great job with the grooming and the prices are reasonable. Kiko does an amazing job and is always kind and helpful. Tara has also answered all my questions and has done an awesome job with the grooming as well. Their shop is clean and has cute decor. Sophie always comes out of her appointment looking so fresh and so clean :)!

    We were going to another Orange grooming salon and really happy with the job they did on our pups, but the price increases and distance to get there had us looking closer and a little less money. So we found Muddy Paws OC! So glad we did. It takes 5-6 minutes to get there, and they are about $10 cheaper per dog grooming than most other places. I also love the friendly staff and Tara, the owner. They always have a hello and smile ready for you. Plus, our dogs enjoy it there and I know they are treated wonderfully! Our Bichon, Riley looks like a little ragamuffin after 6-7 weeks, so the cut they give him is still super cute but so good for warm weather. And I can tell he feels like a champ when he comes home! Lol. So thank you, Muddy Paws OC for taking such good care of our pups!

    Love this family-run business! Been coming here since they opened. The people are nice, they do good work, and we trust them with our dogs. This little cutie was a rescue dog and wasn't having it when Tara started grooming her (she would try to bite!), but Tara was patient and kind, and the groomings have gone better each time since. Oh, and their prices are reasonable. Worth the wait if you can't get your pets in right away.

    Always happy taking my dogs here. My boys are super scared of people after first but take a bit to warm up. Tiny dog is soooooo wiggly and they still manage to trim his face safely and evenly. Big dog gets has very sensitive skin and is allergic to most things yet their medicated bath is pretty much the only bath that doesn't make him lose his hair after or break out in hives.

    My maltipoo got groomed here and she loved it. 5 STARS she got her hair trimmed, nails, glands, and ears cleaned. This was her first time getting groomed and the groomer did an amazing job!

    This place is fairly easy to find, located in the same parking lot as AutoZone and right next to the sign shop. Parking isn't an issue. The inside is clean and smells good (not musty like other places) and you can even see them doing their magic on other pets in the back. The person at the register is polite and friendly. We call ahead to make appointments to have our dog groomed, and they always manage to find time to squeeze her in no matter how complicated our schedule. We get her hair cut and teeth brushed and the pricing is reasonable. They always take good care of our little fur baby and her hair cuts look great!

I do wish I had done a review prior to this one so I could give it a fair chance, but it's basically just off of our final visit today. Basically, I'd give them 5 stars only for their (previously) affordable, high quality services, disregarding the impersonal vibe I feel from all the people who work here whenever I entered. Which I understood and brushed off every time. I knew we wouldn't be coming back due to them telling us up front how much this last bath & express service would be but had no hard feelings, dropped off our dog, still 5 stars. But this was only up until I came back and had my minimal interactions with a couple members of the team behind the desk. I came in, said hello here to pick up my dog, and I barely got a hello back, and the younger staff placed the card reader on the counter in a way that felt pretty aggressive, in my opinion. And as I mentioned, I'd usually brush all of this off, but today just felt extra awkward quite honestly. I wish the best for the groomers & owners. It sucks that the prices increased for us, but good for them overall if this is what will help maintain their high quality deliverables. Will definitely miss how my dog comes out of here clean & fluffy with a bandana on her for whatever season it is. To the staff that have worked directly with our dog (especially to the awesome tall white lady with the piercings), thank you so much for taking care of Toasty, ensuring that she felt safer and more comfortable enough to come back each time. She may be just another dog-client, but I'm sure she will miss seeing her groomers who are a piece of her entire world that she'll ever have.

    I used to love this place, but when I visited again today, I felt the owner wanted to charge as…read moremuch as she could. They charged my dog for higher price despite the pricing chart on the website. Without much change to the weight, I informed them that in the past my dog was charged with the thin coat density. On the website, my dog's breed is one of the examples of the short and thin coat category, and that was why they charged me the prior lower price in my past visits. For some unknown reasons, they gave me different incoherent excuses that made me feel they were going to charge higher today no matter what. The owner did not even see my dog but insisted that my dog has medium to thick hairs that she will have to hand dry her coat. When I picked her up, her coat was not fully dried... Despite the unpleasant conversations, my dog came back very cute. I was told they are going to increase the pricing for all very soon.

Juno is dog-reactive, which can sometimes come across as aggression, but anyone familiar with reactivity understands it's really about overstimulation, limited socialization, and the need for patient, one-on-one care. Because of this, I haven't been able to take her to a traditional groomer. I happened to see their mobile truck while on a walk and asked about pricing for my reactive shepherd. Ricardo was very understanding, gave me a reasonable quote, and was even able to fit us in right after his first appointment. From the start, he was calm, patient, and gentle. He let me stay nearby to help Juno feel more comfortable, which I really appreciated. She was timid at first, but he took his time earning her trust and worked at her pace. When it came to the dryer, he introduced it carefully and explained that he didn't want to push her too far or undo the trust he had built even if that meant she wouldn't be fully dry. That meant a lot to me. It's clear that Ricardo has experience with dogs like Juno and truly understands the patience and care they need. Both Ricardo and Paco were communicative, kind, and made sure Juno's first mobile grooming experience was as stress-free as possible. I'm so grateful to find people who genuinely understand that some pups just need a little extra reassurance and compassion. Thank you both for taking such great care of my Juney!
