I have brought my cats, 5, tho' I am now down to 2, to Gena to have their nails trimmed in between vet visits and Gena is wonderful. Three of my cats were a handful, even for my vet, but it was 1-2-3 with Gena! Highly recommend! read more

Paws N Claws did SUCH an amazing job. This is the only place I will take our pup, Frisco! We have a rescue husky that can have quite a bit of anxiety and hardly any grooming experience. Gina took all of the time he needed and really worked with him throughout the process. He looks amazing and I'm so impressed!! read more

Gena and crew are SUPER MEGA AWESOMENESS. They have groomed 3 of our dogs with runway quality cuts and baths. My pups love them. Ruby doesn't like the hairdryer. Our collie and golden always come home breath taking gorgiosity. read more

Took my cat there for grooming. Walked in and it stunk horribly and the owner went on to talk crap about her staff as well as where her kid goes to school (?). Extremely unprofessional. Then I asked for my cat to be trimmed and his belly/rear shaved and I don't think he was trimmed or bathed at all, didn't look or smell any different but did get the rear/belly shaved. read more

I showed up for my first appointment. I stood in line. A person came in and I thought I could check in my dog with them. The girl nodded yes. I started to tell her about my dog and Gena, the owner, snapped at me about being impatient and rude. The customer in front of me offered to let me check in and Gena got short with me and began lecturing me about manners. I declined her service. I was afraid of how she would treat my baby. No way would I recommend. read more

We have taken our 3 dogs to Gena for years now. When does a great job with our 2 toy poodles. One of which is a witch. She even bites me when I try to clip her nails. Gena has always been tolerant of her and we get it that if they are feisty and bitie they may not be perfect. Gena sure tries to make them perfect and we appreciate her hard work. You can trust this shop to take great care of your pet while I n their care. They do not use neck leashes while grooming and I like that. Shampoo and conditioner is all high quality products. I recommend this shop and they grooming they do. read more

This is by far the best groomer I have ever been to- and I've been to a ton of groomers in my life! They spent 3 hours washing my giant, temperamental Akita (who HATES baths) and we're not intimidated at all! He was shedding clumps of fur and it is all gone! He is bright white, soft, and even has a bandana! They are extremely knowledgeable and were great with Charlie! read more

Paws n Claws is a true gem in South Bend! They are a true family run business, and you feel those values to the core. My rescue pup is very timid and nervous, yet they were able to clip his nails which is something even our vet wanted to wait on until he was under anesthesia for an upcoming neuter. The groomer even sponge washed his face because he was so scared of the water hose. He came back smelling so clean and was adorned with a handpicked bandana that complimented his fawn coloring. All of these details are appreciated as they go above and beyond your standard groomer. We are happy to have found a home here with Gena and her son! read more

Paws and Claws made my beagle smell so very nice. We have made a visit to nearly every groomer in town and Paws and Claws is by far the best. First and foremost my dog was clean and smelled wonderful. His shedding was greatly reduced after our visit and he still smells great and it's been nearly a month! He was happy when I picked him up and the owner is super friendly. We have been to nearly every groomer in town as I stated earlier. This is by far the best! I highly recommend Paws and Claws! read more

Paws N Claws-Ironwood South Bend If I can give this establishment no stars. I definitely would! I got there around 8:57 A.M. for 9:00 appointment checked in my dog younger gal at the front great customer service. Left my dog thinking everything will be alright. Received a call at 9:46 A.M. they couldn't groom my dog. Once I got to the establishment I'm assuming the owner Gina handling a customer as I was speaking to the customer as well having a conversation. As soon as the customer walked out. She had outwardly displeasure on her face. I stated to her why couldn't you groom my dog. If I can stand by her as she groomed my dog. She was like "No" in a yelling tone. I stated to her can I get my dog. She was like he tired to bite my leg. He's never try to bite a person . I have three children. I know my dog only growls when its out of self defense or fearful. Dogs can sense when a person have negative moods. So the younger lady bought the dog out. She stated to the younger girl "I'm not touching it ". You're referring him to it will gladly taking someone money not caring about how I felt as new customer walking into the establishment. I told to Gina if I can get my dog as he came to me in distressed , watery eyes & whimpering. I told her he did not bite me and try to run to her daughter to smell her. She yelled get out I said I will let me first get my dog. She then came to the front try to shoved me out of her business and kept yelling I've been doing this for twenty years in front of two employees. I yelled at her don't touch me or I will call the police I stated what kind of establishment treats people like this. I will put a review on your establishment. Screaming continually and the sad situation in front of I'm assuming her daughter. As my dog hide under the table to the corner of the front entrance door SCARED. I myself trying to carry him she kept saying profanity words. I myself was not let someone talk to me in that matter or tone! As I was walking out Gina was still following me screaming foul language. I myself returned words. I was aiming to get my phone to record her. As I got my dog in the truck she had the door half open when a Papa John employee asked what happened she kept yelling continually she thinks I'm racist , racist , racist . I've never would once use the race card. Yes I came to the point and flick her off I had enough of her offensive language. She also stated we can take this to the back B****. Yes, I could handle the situation different! I've never in my life have been treated unfairly. It was awful experience and I happy my children do not have to witnessed what I went through! read more
