    First time injury

    My Experience With Grooming Services at Paw Sweet Paw (This review reflects my personal experience under California's Consumer Review Fairness Act.) I'm sharing this because I believe other pet owners in Irvine and Orange County deserve to know what happened during my recent grooming visits at Paw Sweet Paw. My intention is simply to describe my experience as accurately as possible. Recent Visit - November 24, 2025 After picking up my dog, Suki, from grooming, I noticed he was squinting and keeping one eye partially closed, which was unusual for him. Over the next few hours, I observed that the eye became more irritated and developed some discharge. Because his symptoms were increasing, I took him to Pacific Care Pet Emergency in Irvine. The veterinarian examined him, performed a fluorescein stain test, and documented corneal ulcers in both eyes. The full medical report and invoice were provided to me. Suki was prescribed ophthalmic antibiotic ointment and an Elizabethan collar for several days. This was a stressful situation for both of us, especially because he had not shown any eye issues prior to the grooming appointment. I am not making any assumptions about exactly how the irritation occurred -- I am simply stating the sequence of events and the information given to me by the emergency veterinarian. Previous Visits This experience was part of a pattern I personally observed during earlier grooming appointments: * September 2025: After grooming, I noticed redness and irritation on his face and rear area. * March 2025: The haircut provided did not match the instructions and example photo I had discussed, and I did not receive the usual pickup notification. I emailed the business about both situations. I did not receive a response, so I decided to keep a record of these experiences. Why I'm Posting This Review My goal is not to accuse anyone or assign blame. My goal is to: * Share my personal experience as a pet owner * Describe the concerns I observed * Provide information that may help others make informed decisions * Encourage improved communication and follow-up Pets cannot express when something is wrong, so owners rely heavily on businesses to communicate clearly and respond when concerns are raised. I hope the grooming staff and management take this as constructive feedback. Final Thoughts Suki is part of my family, and seeing him uncomfortable and needing emergency care was difficult. I hope that by sharing this experience factually and respectfully, I can help other pet parents feel more informed.

    Charlie loves Paw Sweet Paw daycare! He runs in and can't wait to go see his friends every time. They send photos of how happy he is every day and I always look forward to it. Thank you all for taking such good care of my little man.

    This place is BAD. They shaved our doggy so close to her eye and it's RED and Bare! They did the same thing to our dog's rear area below her tail. It's very uncomfortable for our dog and it's inflammatory and we have to apply prescribed medication onto our dog. This is so SAD ! Do not bring your dog to the bad groomer !

    Thank you, Michael, for taking good care of our baby Mayzee! She has anxiety but she feels safe with people who care for her. Thank you for the great haircut!

It's clear just how much thought and care has gone into planning the optimal experience for the cats and their owners.

I also appreciated the easy online registration, informative emails, organized check-in/ check-out process, attention to detail, and the comfort of knowing an emergency vet was housed in the same complex. It was also evident that everyone who works there really loves cats. My cat really enjoyed the fur therapy, but she was a little too shy to partake in the play room. Maybe next time! All in all, we had an incredible stay and would recommend Club Cat without hesitation!
