My Aussie loves them. Kind hands and cuddly helpers make it easy to return to this team of groomers. Mayzi says "Thanks for my spa day! My teeth feel so clean and fresh too!"

Injury to my dog's nail (hard to get a good photo because her foot is small!)

Pretty disappointed with our visit here. We usually take our 25 lb corgi to Soggy Doggy for nail trims but were told they were busy today after calling in. So, just down the road is this place and I figured I'd give it a try. There were about 4 staff working (one front desk, three grooming) and none of them had masks on. I was shocked that they had no concern for COVID protocol. This was immediately concerning but because we we're already there, I decided to stay for the service. They were able to get us in fairly quickly which was a pro. I let the staff member know my dog does not like nail trims but she's never bit anyone. Typically I've gone back with her but felt uncomfortable doing so with everyone maskless. When she was done, the woman let me know they put my dog in a cone to trim her nails. She said she wanted to assure she didn't bite her. Again, she had never bitten anyone, and is a very small dog. My dog is scared of cones (when she was spayed, we had to use a surgery suit) and I would have rather gone back had I know they were going to put her in one. I paid and purchased a couple no rawhide chews - everything was standard price ($15 for trim and dremel, $6 each for the chews) but noticed some things, like wipes and shampoo, we're overpriced. When we got home, I looked at my pup's nails and one of them looks like it was slightly nicked. No wonder she'd been sulking since she got in the car for our drive home! I acknowledge her nails were long, but I'd rather have someone leave a little extra nail on than overdo it and scare my dog. I won't be recommending this place unfortunately. I'd rather go to Soggy Doggy down the road.

Ramona is amazing!!! I was pretty stressed because my pup was turned away from his first grooming appointment (different business...they required a bordatella vaccine). We had made the appointment over a month ago and I'm finding that most groomers have a very busy schedule. I called several places and each had a wait list and no openings in weeks. Well, I finally called paws in the park, and Ramona told me to come in whenever I could, and she would try to take care of me. And she kept her word! My golden doodle is happily trimmed and looking fine. I can see his eyes again! She was able to fit me in between appointments. And the price was incredible. We are now forever customers. Thank you Ramona!!

Our freshly groomed Floof, Doobs!

I've been coming here on and off for supplies and grooming of my Australian shepherd for a few years now and I just wanted to give them props. Absolutely wonderful staff and great selection.:.. and I can't rave enough about their grooming! They always groom our Australian Shepherd to perfection! He has a very thick coat and it can be tricky... he looks amazing, smells good and he always comes home happy! Thank you Paws In The Park!

Dog grooming

This was the best experience I've ever had at a dog groomer! The ladies were all so nice and welcoming and made my "scaredy cat" dog feel comfortable. They did an amazing job with her haircut and asked exactly what I wanted (how much off the ears, body, etc) and executed it perfectly. I would highly recommend this place!!! They also had things very clean and organized in the store. I will be back!

What I asked for

People. There is a state wide mask mandate and a huge surge in COVID cases around the world with omicron raging. Paws in the Park DOES NOT ENFORCE MASK WEARING. Half their customers weren't wearing masks. Their employees were blatantly not wearing masks also. Not even a performative wearing of masks under their noses and chins! ‍ let me attach an infographic about how rapid the virus can transmit with and without masks. You decide what you wanna do. Dog grooming-wise, my pup barely looked recognizable when I picked him up. It's not terrible, but definitely not what I wanted. Why go through the chore of asking me what I want? I'll attach photos of what I showed the groomer (flat head, short and round snout) versus what he looked like when he came out (80's buzz cut, long mustache and chin left intact - that area gets so much saliva and food smells stuck on it ). He cut puppo's nose bridge too much which at worse shows some patches of skin. If it were just the way puppo was groomed, I probably would have just silently gone to another groomer. But the blatant lack of safety protocols is upsetting man. You know there are cases of animals and house pets catching the virus right?

Done with her haircut and ready for a Puppachino!

Our dog looks amazing! They were very friendly and cut our labradoodles hair very cute! We will return there !

This is our go-to pet store! It's further from our home, but we will not go anywhere but here. Julie, the owner, treats us like family and is always making our whole crew feel special - from our pooch to our kids. She and her whole team go above and beyond for their customers. Highly recommend Paws in the Park for all of your pet needs, from food to toys, special birthday treats and bedding - they have pretty much everything you could want, and if they don't stock it - Julie will help figure out how to get it, or suggest alternatives. They also have a full grooming suite, with amazing, compassionate groomers. Last but not least - the neighborhood community feel is unparalleled. They host a Christmas party complete with a photo shoot for your pets with Santa, and a neighborhood BBQ in the summer. They are open until 6pm during the pandemic. You won't be disappointed with your experience.

Dog grooming

I never write Yelp reviews but the customer service and care here was incredible!!! So glad I stumbled upon this gem heading to the UPS store next door. Romana gave me the tools, knowledge, and confidence to help me get my doggo to the best he's every looked! I had already been having a hell of a day with finding a last minute groomer (everything was booked months out) to a Petco appointment telling me they wouldn't take him in when I got there. I am so fortunate to have driven by Paws in the Park. Romona immediately said let's take a look. And was able to ease my concerns with solutions and the knowledge she had! She took the extra care and time. Will be coming here for my grooming needs!

Thank you! Love Dazi

Fantastic local pet supply store with incredibly helpful customer service. Julie (the owner) knows all of the dogs (and the human family members) by name, and she is incredibly helpful. It is wonderful to be able to support local businesses in Normandy Park!

Buttercup nice and fresh for the game

Love the cut and service he has been to other places and they just shave him. Found out new grooming place for him

See all

Reached out via their website after business hours to inquire about deshedding and grooming for my…read more80lb German Shepherd. They contacted me the next morning and were even patient enough to wait for me to answer (screened the call using Google assist since I did not recognize the number). Alexes was professional and asked questions about my dog to make sure it was a good fit. He has never been groomed professionally before so I appreciate that they take the time to ask about the dog as well as my expectations. I scheduled for the following week. The location is easy to find just off 153rd. I rang the bell and was greeted by Angie and Alexes. They let Gryff smell around and smell them while we chatted and I signed the consent form. My boy decided to mark their sandwich sign in the lobby (which I am so sorry for!) I had my hands full with my baby and trying to finish the paperwork but they promptly cleaned it up for me and made me feel comfortable because they didn't have an angry or negative reaction and I knew that they would stay calm with my boy and treat him well. They estimated a 3 hour session and called me after 2.5 hours to let me know they were finishing up. Upon pickup they were friendly and showed me pictures of the bath process and told me about how it went. Thankfully it went well, Gryff was well behaved and now my dog is 10lbs lighter!

I happened upon Angie's business via Yelp. When I saw that her business had at least 15 five star…read morereviews, I couldn't help but book an appointment. My 11-month-old French bulldog needed his nails trimmed and Angie was amazing. She takes time to talk to your pet to assure them everything will be OK, which in my opinion helps the process. My Frenchie was calm and enjoyed his nail trim. Definitely will be going back!

When I got her back from grooming, she was looking like this (video in car). Very little hair on her body, I felt sad for her and almost cried. Her head has a fro and her tail is basically gone and naked. When I came in to get her, I was initially shocked and didn't know what to say. I thought I liked it until I took another good look at her. She didn't even come out smelling good and i'm wondering if her ears were cleaned. This is her second experience getting groomed. The first time was out of state, where I got her and when I was planning on flying back to Seattle, I had a groomer that did a tidy up puppy cut (the photos where they gave her bows in her ears afterwards). She smelled so good after, her curls were still there and her tail had a lot of hair. At the front desk, I asked if there were notes and there were none. I was hoping for an explanation on why she came out looking kind of naked. When I asked for a puppy cut, I didn't think the hair would be cut down this much. The haircut also looks choppy, especially the head part. It isn't even like what I thought a puppy cut would look like. I appreciate the groomer for being patient with this puppy though and took their time on my girl. Hair will grow back. I showed all my friends the video of her in the car and they had the same thoughts I did. I almost cried (lol). Anyway, hair will grow back. I just wanted to leave this review and maybe I should have done more extensive research on groomers. I was nervous to schedule an appointment at all due to it being her second time (first time in WA).

Her name is Nikki and she is an absolute pro. Chile's jaw is wonky and she takes that into account every time I take him in to see her. Nikki asks me about it before I bring it up. She must take great notes. Come to PetSmart in Burien. Try to score a grooming session with Nikki. If you can't book her, we've had great experiences with other groomers too. Also, be sure to tip your groomer! These folks take care of our pets when we're not there. They deserve generous gratuity!

My son gave me a Samoyed dog a year ago when he moved out. In the past he took the dog (Nova) to…read morethe groomer every now and then somewhere in Puyallup. Well now Nova is my responsibility. I was not going to bring her to Puyallup from Burien so I looked for another groomer. I went to Pet Smart in Burien. They schedule Nova for the following Friday (today 3/27/2026) at 2:30. They knew the type of dog because they asked the questions. They quoted $90 - $120. Got home, called the son asked him what he had paid in the past, he said about $200. Today I arrive at Pet Smart at 2:25. They take one look at Nova and say this will take about 5 hours, we don't have enough time cause they over booked and they are closing today at 6:00, because they are having their floors redone. Sounds like bullshit. If your quote was low just say so I would have gladly paid more. It is a lot of work and I am willing to pay or you could have got it started and schedule another day to finish the job. So since they did not call to tell me they overbooked (bullshit) and they proved to be unreliable I went to The Wash Dog in White Center. I had the Nova with me and they booked me for this coming Tuesday and are charging $275 + the tip that I will give. These employees at The Wash Dog actually seemed to care more, but I guess when you are a small business you probably try to provide better customer service then a big box store. I highly recommend you pass on Pet Smart and try The Wash Dog in White Center. I will let you all know how it went and post a picture of The Wash Dog results, next week.
