We used to take our dogs here for grooming every so often before moving out of state. They always came out happy and clean (they don't require hair shaving/cutting, so I can't comment on that part). We recently moved back to MD, and while they haven't had grooming appointments yet, we have taken our dogs in to get nail trims. Our boxer mix is definitely NOT a fan of this, and wherever we would take her while living out of state she always ended up having jagged and missed nails because of her behavior. But taking her back to Pawz & Clawz was a breeze. My husband was able to go behind the gate with the groomer and our boxer was surprisingly calm and got the best nail trim she's had in 4 years. The place isn't fancy to look at inside or out, but they really do a nice job and have reasonable prices. read more
