    After a bath
    Angela W.

    Amazing place. They bath and groom both dogs and cats! It's located in downtown Rahway, with amazing restaurant and tons of parking nearby. I recommend making an appointment instead of walking in, since I believe there are only 2-3 people (?) working there. Pampered Paws has my highest recommendation!

    I was referred to pampered paws when Saige was a puppy. In the beginning every time I took him to Petsmart they would bring him back out with complaints and wouldn't cut his hair. My dog walker referred me to Karim, when I called her and told her the problem. She said "he is just a puppy, bring him here we will work with him!" You don't know how that made me feel, I have been a loyal customer three years later! I'm always worried when I drop him off, and she always reassures me that he does amazing! I love pampered paws, and I love Karim for how she treats my baby!

    Book with Karim & you won't regret it! I was looking to book an appointment for my dog, and was told there aren't any appointments for 2 weeks. I agreed and took the booking. Less than 24 hours before the appointment I received a text saying my appointment needed to be canceled due to a family emergency and they'd be reaching out to reschedule. I waited so long & needed her to get a haircut so I started making phone calls with shops from Google. I called 2 and they were listed as opened but they didn't answer the phone. I called Pampered Paws & explained the situation & Karim said "if you can get here soon, I'll be able to take her". I said I'll be there in less than 30. I dropped my dog off and she was super kind! Not even an hour later she called & said my dog was ready! The service was amazing! My dog was super happy &, she came out smelling GREAT! It's been a while since I've been happy with her haircuts, I've always just felt "ok, because she has a cut". This this will definitely be her new salon! Oh did I mention, it was her birthday! Karim had my girl looking cute for her 10th birthday!!

    My Golden has been coming to Pampered Paws for 10 years! The owner is absolutely amazing and this grooming salon is top notch! Highly recommended and your pooch will come out smelling fantastic and looking fabulous!

    I was encouraged by the other reviews that this place was amazing. However, It fell short in many ways. I was assured my dog would have a "full groom" including her coat thinned. I have a border collie so her coat is very thick, and heavy. Upon arrival I asked what the "full groom" entailed, they rattled off a bunch of different things. They said it would take about an hour to do all of the things included in the package. When I dropped her off they said she was next in line. They called me less than an hour later to say she was ready. When I got there 45 minutes later to pick her up she was scared out of her mind, she ran right past me and literally tried to escape. I asked the woman at the desk what exactly they did and she said a few things, I asked if they cut her hair - no, I asked if her hair had been thinned out - no. The woman I left my dog with promised it was going to get done. When I mentioned that the woman at the desk said "oh yeah she did that." I then asked if they had a list of services to take with me, they don't, her response was "you have to ask." I gave her my card to pay and she typed it into her phone, odd and unnerving, but I guess thats their best practice. I finally got my dog in the car, and she was bleeding everywhere, I did not realize until she bled all over my white seats. (Remember, I got there 45 minutes after they called me to pick her up. She was still bleeding at this point)Once I got her home i realized that they basically just gave her a bath. I had to brush clumps of hair out of her coat. Frustrated, I called to ask what they did for her and they listed a bunch of different things - when I told the person on the phone I had to brush her, he told me that "I could brush her all day and hair would still come out." I will not be returning, it was an unprofessional and unpleasant experience.

    Took my two pups there for the first time last week. They came back fresh, clean and happy. Staff is very friendly & the price is not bad at all. I'll def be returning.

    They cut my son Bo up very nicely with the poodle cut. Probably the only place I trust to do the complicated type of cuts on my four legged son.

    See all

    Animal Crackers - Cat treats

    For most pet owners, large scale shops like Petco or Petsmart are more than sufficient for their…read morepet's needs. However, sometimes pets need more specialized food and treats and that is where shops like Animal Crackers come in. Animal Crackers is located along Westfield Avenue in Clark, a main drag with lots of smaller shops, eateries and medical offices. Having a pet supply store at the end of such a stretch somehow makes perfect sense (and it's next to a pet groomer too!). The store may seem small at first but it's actually a really good size, with aisles filled with supplies for various pets, with a huge focus on dogs. In the back they have fresh food in fridges. Cat food is in the same area. I needed food from Koha, a higher end brand and fortunately Animal Crackers not only carried it but they also ask very reasonable prices. For your convenience, you can have Animal Crackers order cases of food for you. Getting an entire case of cat food also gets me one complimentary can - and don't forget to get a punch card to track your purchases! Animal Crackers has become a regular shopping spot for me and I am glad I found it!

Call the store and told them I wasn't comfortable bringing my dog there and Mike (think that was his name) wanted to give me a hard time about the name of the store. He confirmed they were located right next to Mijo's. Told him the name is The Pup Club he proceeded to tell me I was wrong and he put the sign up himself. I told him I wasn't going to argue over the fact of the name of the business, just that I was not comfortable bringing my dog to them to be groomed. Told him I appreciated him canceling the appointment and to have a good day and I hung up I received a phone call about 10 minutes ago from Michelle, who was supposedly at the colonia location. She wanted to argue about the name on the building. I explained what I told Mike when I called to cancel the appointment told her again. I was not comfortable bringing my dog there, and she proceeded to hang up on me. I called back and said that I was not going to leave a bad review and just let it go but after being hung up on, they deserved a poor review from me. Their customer service is horrible. I have no idea what company they actually are and here's a picture to prove that it is not listed as In-N-Out grooming. Be cautious where you take your fur babies to be groomed. 2:30 pm Now I am being harassed by text messages and pictures of what they probably just installed name change on the sign. Sent pictures to prove it but it's been 5 hours quite enough time to change a sign. In response to Mike. There is no agenda, except to warn people about your lack of professionalism between you and your manager at your "Colonia" location. Hanging up on a customer, then harassing the customer by calling them numerous times would be harassment. I'm just warning future customers the type of people that they will be dealing with and you're right, I'm not a customer never will be. I wouldn't trust my dog with people like you. Better yet I wouldn't even trust a rat with you and your employees. I don't know how you became a business owner and handled this entire situation shows complete lack of professionalism. I politely called to cancel my appointment explained why I was not comfortable bringing my dog to your facility to be groomed. That should've been the end of it right there. But when you have your manager, Michelle, call and harass me then hang up on me is what prompted the negative reviews. Should things have been left with me canceling my appointment. There would've been no bad reviews but the way the situation was handled was completely and utterly disgusting. I would've loved to be able to bring my dog to be groomed so close to my house You lost a customer and I hope future people who are looking to find a new groomer know what they're getting into with people like you and Michelle.
