    Boba after her spa day

    I've never picked up my dog from the groomers and she didn't want to leave. Well, that happened here. I walked up and could see the owner with Boba in her lap through the front windows, and Boba was licking her face and tail just a wagging. She smells great, her toes are perfectly paw-dicured, and her ears are clean, which I am never able to do by myself! Oh, and her breath is minty fresh. The Paw Spa is wonderful and the people are so kind. We will be back. Just be ready for your dog to not want to go home with you.

    My dog loves her groomer visits with Gabriella and the team at Paw Spa. They always do an amazing job and give my beloved furbaby all the TLC and loves she needs for a safe, comfortable visit.

    Had great experience at Paw Spa. They listened to how I wanted my dog groomed and did a fantastic job. We will be back.

    A cut, or razor nick.

    We requested that our dog's body be evenly trimmed. The groomer, instead, cut our dog unevenly on many locations on her body.  There appears to be a nick, or small cut, on the left side of her tail.  She's been licking her front paws all evening.  This doesn't usually happen when she returns from the groomers. After giving them several chances, we won't go back.

    Love these ladies and they love what they do. You can tell by how amazing your dog looks, feels, and acts after grooming. They treat my dog with amazing care and we are beyond satisfied every time. Tee is our go to groomer and I highly recommend her.

    I really wanted to like this place. I really did! So much so that I decided to schedule my Shih Tzu's grooming here instead of his normal groomers to give them a try. I wholeheartedly regret my decision and will never bring my baby back here nor recommend to dog friends. My first impression was good. The groomer seemed friendly and notified me of the time which was spot on. However, the groom itself is horrific and I can only imagine the traumatizing experience my dog had. First, upon inspection my dog has a 2 inch gash on his tail. His fur is white so you can clearly see he had been bleeding. What's worse is the groomer made no mention of this. I understand things happen but come on. I should have been notified of something like this. Especially since he did not walk into the salon with that gash. Second, the cut is atrocious and it looks like it was rushed. The cut is choppy and he looked half blow dried - half wavy fur (which happens when he air dries) and half blow dried. They didn't even touch his ears when I specifically asked for half to be cut smh. I am so disappointed in my experience.

    I will admit I do miss seeing Garbriella at this location. Depending on the day... the front desk staff is not always the most pleasant but the groomers are very friendly and always do an excellent job on my JRT. My dog sheds a lot so I do the TheraCare with fresh breath. Services usually takes 2 1/2 hours which I appreciate because he is getting pampered. My dog is always excited to come here. I've tried other groomers in the past- my dog seemed terrified when he arrived and left which was a RED FLAG for me. Thank you PawSpa for always taking good care of Joey! I will update my review with today's picture!

    Before

    I brought my Norwich terrier here for his first ever official groom after being rescued. His coat is wiry with quirky tufts, and I requested to maintain his tail and neck as much as possible. I spoke to a lovely woman who walked me through their offerings and pricing, and set the appointment for me. Dropping him off, the staff was just as warm and chatted with me again to reiterate what I wanted for him. The end result was exactly what I'd hoped for - a cut accentuating his quirks, while being clean and crisp. His nails were nicely trimmed (something he will not let me do) and they'd even put a petite men's tie around his neck so he looked like a proper gent. As far as I can tell, the lower reviews for this place seem based on understandable occasional limitations of a small business. I highly recommend giving his place a try.

    The best grooming salon in the DMV! Not only they groom dogs but cats as well. I've gone there twice and was never disappointed. They definitely know how to take amazing care of your fur babies especially for cats. The groomers have the patience and skills to get them clean up nicely. And I love the Thera-Clean service for fur babies who has troubled skin like my cat. I appreciate the effort and enthusiasm they put into their work! P.S. Thank you for the free collar, I didn't realize my baby looks good in green

    Adorable Christmas themed puppy playground

    Such an adorable place with a super welcoming atmosphere for both pets and pet-owners! All of the workers were kind with us, and very gentle with our two puppies. Totally recommend as your pet spa if you're from old town!

She scheduled the appointment pointing out that she wanted the complimentary service (see photo) and when I picked her up they told me it was roughly $125. I told them I had a free service and they saw that in the system but that's not what they did. I overheard the lady behind the counter whisper that we were willing to pay the difference even though it is their fault . At that point I was unwilling to pay but my partner was at work and had already paid the entire amount online so that I did not have to have any issues. They reached out to the owner and we were assured that she would reach out to us and fix it. My partner reached out to Jodi (the owner) and she did not respond. This was in February and it is now May. I waited to post this in hope that I wouldn't have to because they would make it right. I understand that the groomer needs to be paid because the work was completed but their mistake shouldn't have been my problem. Oh I forgot to mention how we came about the complimentary service. The original cut was HORRENDOUS (see photo) my partner wrote a review about it and they offered us a complimentary bath and tidy to take it down. She agreed and removed the review(shady). All I want is my partner's money back. This review did not need to be posted but I hate that fact that we were taken advantage of by this business.

We had such a horrible experience and feel a tremendous amount of guilt for trusting that they would take care of our cat. After a short stay, our healthy 1-year old cat was returned to us lethargic and clearly traumatized, with serious episodes of vomiting and diarrhea that ended up in a $2,500 vet hospital stay. A quick business trip turned into an ungodly expense. We were promised an update during his stay as well as a "Pawgresss Report" when we picked him up, but received neither, likely because he wasn't adjusting well and it was easier for them to keep that from us. They didn't even do a basic medical check when we dropped him off, which again was supposed to happen according to their website. I reached out to the hotel manager, Arden, once he was admitted to the vet hospital two days after his stay, and described our experience. She "seemed" very sympathetic and assured me that an incident report would be filed and that someone would get back to me ASAP. Well, here it is 4 days later and I still haven't heard from anyone; I would have thought that they would want, at the very least, an update on his diagnosis/condition to prevent an outbreak at their facility. Nope. Clearly, what they say and what they actually do are at odds. Don't be like me and get caught up in the flowery language used on their website to describe their facility and services; it's all disingenuous, if not patently false. I fear our poor cat will never get over the trauma of his visit at the PetsHotel on Richmond Highway in Alexandria, Virginia
