Our two pups require regular grooming and Paws Pet Grooming has always been very patient with their nervous demeanor. Their cuts are always what we ask for, and they are happy to use frangrance free products as requested! read more

Great place to take your dog for grooming! Definitely the place to go in Elmhurst! Reasonable and great grooming. Never have trouble with pick-up or drop-off. This is the type of place you take your animals that you really care about as they don't allow dozens of animals at the same time. They even do a tolerance check of your animal and other animals. Who drops their dog off an hour and a half early?....geez David N. Do you go to the doctor an hour and half early and expect to be serviced? read more

Snoopy loves his groomer Kelly And never wants to come home I can not praise the owner & employees more , my Dog is family , and I never worry about leaving Snoopy there They also have a large window in the reception area, where you can see the Groomers area Very nice , transparency! read more

They have never groomed our dogs the way we asked. They claim our dogs are 'matted' despite being brushed daily and having bright, beautiful fur. Each time our dogs come back shaved, no matter how explicitly we tell them not to shave them. There is such demand for groomers these days that they probably will not care that they lost our business, which is too bad. This last time they nicked the ears of our puppy and we had to make a trip to the vet to get it looked at because he was experiencing such discomfort. After that, will not be going back. read more

Love this place! Prior to finding this amazing place I spent my pups first year struggling to find the perfect groomer. I'm happy to say that Paws pet grooming was the one. My pup leaves so happy from this place and they always provide amazing service along with always understanding the cut I want on my pup! read more

I have been looking for a new grooming place for my 1 year old Samoyed. Paws in Elmhurst was recommended by a friend so I thought I would try it out. Yesterday, my Samoyed got groomed and I could not be happier! My dog had not been groomed for two and a half months because he had injured his paw so I hadn't taken him anywhere he may pick up an infection. He had turned a light cream color when he usually is a bright white, it was time for a bath! The location is just 15 min away from me which I love! The owner (I'm assuming) was at the front desk and was super friendly! Check in was easy, and I loved that they do not crate their furry clients after their grooming. When I picked up Simba he came out just as happily as he came in. What I really loved about this groomer is that it looks like they combed out Simba (my Saoyed) after his bath. At his old groomer I felt like they dried him a little and then let him air dry the rest of the way without combing him so all of his fur was coming off in the car and house. That did not happen after his grooming at PAWS. I love them and will definitely be visiting for Simba's monthly grooming. The price for his grooming was very reasonable! read more

When I first walked in at this place in a suit the woman instantly said if I'm trying to sell her something she doesn't want it. I thought that was kind of a bullshit way to greet somebody. Anyway I let it roll and scheduled my cat. Then to my surprise when it came time for the appointment I want to drop them off maybe an hour and a half early because I have a busy day. Get this... She refused to let me drop him off! And by the way... This is the second time I rescheduled with her. This woman does not know how to do business. For customer service is complete garbage and until she rectifies her attitude I don't anticipate anything coming of this place. Don't take your pet here. They're so much other more compassionate and caring people in this industry and in the area that you should waste your time. This attitude should not be rewarded. Trust me you'll regret it if you go. read more

5 stars for sure. Took my raggedy pomsky and I can't praise these girls enough. No they don't have receptionist to answers phones but they do return calls same afternoon. They did such a great job with my girl. Can't believe she wasn't cut just washed and brushed. The last place was awful and the way they cleaned her up is amazing. I will definitely be taking the hike each time. My 7yrs 90lb lab mix has been going since she was a puppy for nail trim and she adores all the girls This is one happy mom!!! read more

Really nice family owned business. Juan walked me through the self dog wash. He personally got my pup set up and started. You set the spray to actually infuse the shampoo, rinse, and then the conditioner. And reduce the pressure without changing the temperature for washing her face. We needed a bath on a Sunday-they were open!Clean. The steps going up were tiled, bigger than pet store wash- which I can't get my pup to walk up. Only issue is it is expensive.. Juan may be open to monthly deal like the car wash... read more

My Keeshond is 13 years old and mostly blind. I took her in for grooming (she had been here 2 times before). Explained in detail to the person who would be grooming her (in the presence of the owner), how I wanted her groomed, as this was the first time she was working with my dog. I even showed her, right on the dog, what I wanted. When I came back, my dog didn't even look like her breed- her mane had been cut off, most of her facial hair had been removed, as well as most of her long coat everywhere else. They even trimmed her ears! They charged me for the service before I even realized this, and then refused to refund. Said "Getting your money back will not help the dog", "it will grow back", "mistakes happen". I asked what made them shave her like that, and they replied "we didn't shave her, we just cut most of her hair off". What's the difference?? It had to be done with clippers. When I first came in to pick up the dog, the owner was the one processing the payment, but she quickly removed herself to the other room, allowing her staff (3-4 of them) to stand there and aggressively dismiss my complaints and questions. I felt very intimidated and assaulted by this, as I have never had this type of experience before- since when do you allow your staff to gang up on a customer? My dog has not been the same since (1 week now). She has been depressed and withdrawn, she is having a hard time getting around, as she had used her mane as a guide to when she was close to running into things. My research tells me with this breed it could take 1-2 years for the hair to grow back, and it does not grow back the same. She is also now more susceptible to sunburn and over heating. I have read some other reviews and it seems like treating customers like this, and making "mistakes" with the pets, is not an isolated incident. read more

See all

I have been here several times with a couple different dogs. I was never impressed by the quality of the work, the price, nor the customer service. My wife and mother-in-law have came home upset several times with the quality of the dog's haircut and the rude treatment. The staff doesn't communicate with each other. They need more training on how to be more polite and professional with their customers. Getting a good doggy haircut depends on who's working that day, and what mood they're in. I would not recommend this place to anybody. Be sure to read the hidden reviews as well. read more

Horrible! My dog had multiple blade cuts that bled for days & was disoriented when I picked him up.

We have been bringing our three dogs here for years. Love the care they give. They always manage to get us in same day or within the week. They are timely and thorough. Today they even called us to say they had appointments cancel and we got in two hours earlier. read more

They cut my dog scrotum sac since they cut him so short. I had to go to the vet and spent $100 on meds. When I sent in the vet receipt and bill, they would not reimburse me for the haircut. It's really sad as I thought they would do the right thing. I do not recommend going here. read more

We have been bringing our 2 yr old pup there for a 'field cut' by Heather. Our fur baby is a mix of giant schnauzer, lab, & shepherd. A lot of shedding so we get the 'field' cut a couple times a year to help with shedding. We have been very happy there, nothing negative to say. I have recommended them to neighbors as well read more

Got an appointment and they did an excellent job on the lion cut for my cat a while ago. Called again recently to schedule another appointment 3 times ... no call back no answer nothing. Good luck trying to get an appointment . read more

I don't know why the negative reviews because Patti the owner spoils my girl. I've been using Paws since she opened in Northlake and I followed her to Elmhurst. I tell everyone about Paws and none of them have been unhappy. read more

Locally owned great great service. We have a golden doodle and we got the best haircut for him. It's hard usually everyone just shaved him down and they listened....did a great trim. Charlie,our dog, loved it there at this shop. Great groomers! read more

I walked in today to get my dogs nails trimmed. There was no wait, they were super friendly and very reasonably priced! I won't be going anywhere else from now on, they rock! read more

DO NOT TRUST YOUR DOG WITH THIS PLACE!!! We brought our Golden Retriever in for the usual grooming. We received a call from the manager(owner?) Tom, that our dog was ready but that they accidentally cut him too short. When my fiance picked him up, she was shocked to find that they had completely SHAVED our golden retriever! My fiance came home crying and tried to explain what happened. I was obviously upset, so I took a drive over. I asked Tom what happened and he said that they "mixed up the files". When I asked if the groomer checked that the dog and file matched, he said no. UNACCEPTABLE! I asked if it was normal to shave a golden retriever like a poodle and he responded by correcting me saying that it's "actually a lion cut". When I asked what they were going to do about it, he said "what do you have in mind? I'm open to suggestions". Really!? That's your response!? And for the icing on the cake, one of his final responses was "the nice thing is that in 8 weeks or so, the hair will grow back". Unreal. You think you can trust your dog with a groomer and something like this compete incompetence happens. Please do not support this place. read more

I love the services, but it's so frustrating to bring your dog in for a nail trim during business hours and they are closed. Happened twice this week. read more

I can't say enough about how wonderful the people and the service is here. No cages, reasonable prices and true pet lovers. I'm thrilled to have found Paws! read more

If you don't mind being insulted and accused of being CRAZY, I guess it is a place to take your dog for a grooming BUT just pray you catch the owner on a good day! I took my daughter's dog and tried to make this lady understand what other groomers have been understanding for 50 years. Puppy cut short with no extremes. Ears cut short and BLENDED in with top of the head rather than a drop down and disconnect from the head to the ears, just blended in. Well she just couldn't understand that and began to ridicule me. It was really bad. Picked up the dog and she looked pitiful. They trimmed her face all the way down and left ALL of the hair on her neck and body. The next day my daughter called to say how comical she looked and the owner went on another very long rant telling her there was something wrong with me. Anyway, took the dog to a new groomer, told her the same thing. No problem, she understood perfectly and the dog came out looking perfect. Wouldn't go back if it was free. read more

such an amazing place and very kind and polite staff. walked in to have my cats nails trimmed. they did it no problem.... and only took about 5-10 mins! they allow walk ins and take such good care of the animals! seriously wonderful! cheap too! Highly recommended! thank you guys! read more

I have a Shih Tzu that is very scared and nervous around strangers and other dogs. She hates the razor and blow dryer so cutting her is always an ordeal and requires two of us to do so I was looking for a place that would cut her nicer than we do. :) Paws Pet Grooming was recommended on a facebook elmhurst emoms group so I took her here. This place was nice and clean, everyone was friendly. I was happy that I wouldn't have to leave her there for half the day, that I could drop her off and she would be taken care of right then and I could pick her up when they were done. My dog came in shaking and I had to push thru her the door but when I came to pick her up she was happy and around some other dogs and doing great! There is a window with a little step behind the closed off desk area where some of the small dogs hang out and my daughter and I were waiting outside when we saw her come up in the window wagging her tail so we went in to get her. I was amazed she was doing better than I expected! The groomer was very friendly, she said she had to go slow on some areas to gain her trust but I expected that. I was very happy with the cut and she smelled really nice too! Definitely a place I will be coming back to! read more

Had Charlie in yesterday Maggie did a great job Charlie is a loving sweet dog and I'm glad they saw that he is a good boy.so thank you we will be back.I like the fact it's only a short appointment about 1 1/2 hours and they don't crate them I like that alot. The owner was very nice also read more

We have since found a new groomer who is much more professional, kind, and well-priced and me and my dog couldn't be happier :)

It was my puppy's first grooming appointment ever! And she absolutely LOVED it!! This place is the best ever!

I wish I could give 0 stars considering they wouldn't even allow my dog to be serviced. I'm not sure what year we are in or why bullying breeds is still allowed. If it's a matter of "insurance" than I should hope for your businesses sake that you look into updating your policies because there are plenty of other groomers who accept all beautiful breeds and those are the companies that will flourish. Best of luck to you and your out of dated, judgmental "business" you are pretending to run. read more

I've seen way too many bad reviews for this business. We have been taking our dog here for a few years and have had nothing but great service. The groomers are friendly and kind to all of the dogs I've seen there. Recently, our dog had an injury on his back legs and was badly in need of a haircut. I talked with Patty(the owner) about the problem and she assured me that they would take extra care while cutting my dog. Yes, it may be difficult at times to get an appointment, but it's worth it. They truly care about animals. read more

This place is now called: PAWS PET GROOMING SALON and has moved to Elmhurst on the corner of North Ave & York Rd (299 N York Rd-630-782-1640). VERY attentive staff, great to the dogs & cats, VERY clean! Katie our groomer was wonderful! She is a professional and listened, answered all my questions, and gave suggestions on grooming my toy poodle. Sara the front desk person was nice and honest. Pat the owner reassured me that my dog was in good hands AND SHE WAS CORRECT! Great service, reasonable prices, AND THEY CARE ABOUT YOUR PET! My dog was in safe hands and they did an outstanding job grooming my pet! I will be definitely going back there!!! read more

I originally went here because I won a certificate. The first experience I had went well (the do push tip tho). The second time i took him I got a call a half hour after dropping off saying he almost bit one of the groomers and they could not handle him. When I got there I was so mad at my dog. they tried to have my hold him to finish his claws but he growled so I just let. When i got home I found out the clipped his claw really short and he was bleeding. They did not tell me they hurt him. My dog is scared of a fly. When you get in his face he will just lick you. Has never bit anyone. They made me so upset I let crying because I thought it was my dogs fault. These people are snobby. They do not have good attitudes. I also didn't like that my dog was locked in a crate after he was done. The place I take him now is cheeper, friendly, and they let him run and play with the other dogs (and no they do not have a bigger space) Everyone who asks me about paws I tell them to run! read more

Do not go here! I originally went because i won a gift certificate and the first time they said my boxer was awesome. The second time they made me pick him up early. They told me he was aggressive and that he tried to bite the lady. They only did three out of four paws and never cleaned his ears and charged me full price. First i was mad at my dog and then got home to find that they burned him on his left paw. I was so pissed will never return there. The owner is not very nice either calling my dog aggressive! He wouldnt hurt a fly! Plus they put him in a muzzle no wonder he got mad! read more

This place was recommended to me but I honestly think it is overpriced, the owner gave me an attitude the first time I went there for expressing my disappointment in the quality of work they've done and to fix it she charged me again....My dog also got bad clipper burn allover the abdomen and around the anus. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone!!!! read more

Horrible service!! Made an appointment and the told me Thursday was the soonest they had an open spot (today). Went there today only for the employee/manager whatever she was (lady with short blonde hair) to give me an attitude saying if she scheduled you today she would have wrote it down. Then I tried showing her when I called to make an appointment and again very rude, she said well that doesn't matter. Only to find out they put me down for the following Thursday. I was very frustrated because I called of work to make sure my puppy got groomed nicely only to go there and have her be rude to me like it was my fault her employee didn't give me the correct date. She was very rude!!!!!!! Have only gone there once and definitely will not be returning!!!!!!!! Zero stars if I could read more

This shop grooms nicely but is very busy and overbooked. They take walk-ins ahead of booked appointments and are argumentative and unapologetic about making scheduled clients wait an additional hour or more. They seem to be doing very well, just wish the social and appointment aspect was more professional and understanding to the busy lives of many pet owners. After repeated negative experiences, I myself will not be returning. read more

This place is terrific. They have always taken such great care of my babies. I never worry about leaving them here and my pups are always running around and happy when I return to pick them up. HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

I had been taking my dog there for a couple years once I found them I stayed. I had to move and stop going for a little over a year. Now for the first time since I been back I took him there just recently and encountered a totally different service! The same woman who's older than the others there, may be the owner, usually greets was Extremely Rude for no apparent reason except that I simply walked in the door ...hmmm I wonder why?!? I politely waited my turn while she was very friendly and chatty with the customer. She never said I'll be with you in a moment, she never spoke just asked me the last name and never looked me in my eye , didn't want to say two words to me before calling the groomer I suppose to rid herself of having to speak with me further , and told the groomer I wanted to change my dogs style when the groomer asked what to I said I don't know I didn't speak to her about that the old woman says Whatever and waves me off?!? I was offended and pissed. I didn't do anything but walk in the door and wait! What the hell else could this be about?! She wasn't even friendly with my dog?!? I will NEVER go back! read more

Ten minutes late for appointment and the staff called looking for us; I explained that I would be there immediately. I was late due to caring for an elderly parent!!!! As I pulled in the parking lot six minutes later, the same girl called and said the owner said we need to reschedule. No plans to EVER RESCHEDULE with them!!!! The crabby owner needs to get a clue and run a business with some consideration for her clients. read more
