Highly recommend! I've lived in the area for years but over looked this spot because of a few bad pictures in the reviews. My dog is so fluffy, soft and smells good! Thanks for the great groom!

***DO NOT BRING YOUR DOG HERE*** I will start by saying that the first year I went to this location, all the staff I had interacted with were nothing short of amazing. However, upon our most recent visit, before using the self-serve bath, I paid for a nail trim and ear cleaning to be done by the groomers. My dog received a chemical burn to both ears from the grooming service due to an improperly mixed, highly concentrated solution. I reached out to the owners Rian Thiel and Mike Osborn. Rian did try to be helpful by giving me some ear solution and a cover for my dogs ears to prevent shaking of the ears. When his ears were not getting any better, I reached out again, this time to Mike Osborn. The lack of compassion and empathy from Mike was shocking. He claimed that my dog had allergies and he could do nothing for me, he was extremely mean with his choice of words and told me to come into the store and he would say it to my face! He then proceeded to say that I needed to seek help because I was upset that my dog was injured by their groomer and in pain. I am my dog's only advocate and it is my responsibility to keep him safe from harm, which is exactly what this business caused him. The owners of this Pet Evolution and the Arden Hills location have zero love or compassion for these animals in which they serve. I refuse to support such a business. If you have love for your dog as I do, BEWARE of the Woodbury and Arden Hills Pet Evolution, they will take zero accountability if and when negligence and harmful actions of their staff cause injury to your pet.

My freshly groomed dog

I have loved Pet Evolution for treats and gear for a while now but am writing this review to talk up their grooming services. My heeler/Shepard mix is dog-shy and hates baths. We never got her nails trimmed in her first 1 1/2 years with me because she's a bunch of wiggles. I talked to a groomer to see if they'd be willing to work on her, they were but I was still nervous. She came out from her grooming smiling huge with fresh fluffy fur and perfectly trimmed nails. We will absolutely be going back, they really put this anxious sweetheart at ease.

Nail clipping

Life saver! I have tried many attempts to clip my puppy's nails and he would just scream bloody murder! I'm sorry I didn't bring ear plugs for everyone there. But the gal and her colleagues kept him distracted enough to get the job done in no time! She even told me he wasn't that bad. I'm very appreciative of the professionalism and friendliness of the staff at this Woodbury location! THANK YOU!

We took our eleven month old Aussie here. I was nervous because she is very sweet and loves people but can be shy. They did great with her. Her coat is so soft and silky now and they got her nails perfectly short. When we left she was smiling (Aussies smile!) and asking for attention from all the staff, and clearly I was nervous for no reason. She loved everyone there. I highly recommend this place. Clean, cheerful, and the work is done out where customers can see, so no cranky employee can be rough on a dog. You worry, leaving your pup with strangers, but a smaller place like this with the bathing area behind glass makes me feel better about it. Good prices on treats and food, too.

I absolutely love this place! I come here to buy dog food and treats for my pups all the time. Personally, I like Pet Evolution better than Chuck and Dons. I've also had my Yorkie groomed here as well and it went very smoothly. My pup was super calm and comfortable when I picked him up than when I dropped him off. Highly recommend this place!

He was so matted before but the groomer saved his face and tail!

See all

This is a total bummer as I was really expecting great things when I found this pet grooming place…read moreon Yelp based on all of the great 5 star reviews. It was a traumatizing disappointment to say the least, for both me and my dog Molly. When we arrived for our appointment for a nail trim, Molly was rushed onto a raised platform for the trim. The owners didn't even talk to her or greet her or ask for her name, no treats, nothing to calm her down. When I booked the appointment I didn't realize that they were going to have me be involved, as with past pet grooming places the professionals handle the entire operation and then let you know when it's done. While I was helping to hold her down, she was shrieking in terror as the owner cut her nails. Molly literally screamed out about 3-4 times, it was awful to watch. Past places like PetSmart trimmed and buffed the nails and then gave Molly treats for doing a great job. Shear Elegance only trimmed the nails and sent her on her way, no treat. The plus side was that it only cost $5 but be warned that they only accept cash and don't accept credit cards or any other form of payment. Molly couldn't wait to get out of there... after I paid she was pulling me out the door terrified with her tail between her legs. I really had high expectations based on the reviews and really like to support local businesses, but I think I'll stick to PetSmart where they will clean her ears, trim and buff her nails, and give her treats to calm her down for $20. I'm hoping this experience won't scare her going forward for future nail appointments.

People were very nice ! Marley's first time getting his nails done. They were very gentle with him !read more

This place is awesome! I have a 10 pound cav/cocker and we have had her groomed here a few times…read more They are SUPER nice to her and I always love how adorable she looks when we get her back. Before thanksgiving we brought her in and when she came home she looked super cute, but not quite right. I tried to convince myself I was just being high maintenance but I couldn't get over it. We called and they scheduled us to bring her back in. We were dumb and missed our appointment. We called back, they saw us immediately. As it turned out, wires got crossed and they only trimmed her and only charged us for a trim but they were more than happy to accommodate a full cut... she is all done and she looks amazing (and has the cutest nail polish on) at zero extra charge! Totally recommending to all our fur families.

I just adopted a morkie early this summer, so it was time for his first grooming a couple weeks…read moreago. My sister has a yorkie and frequents Woodbury DogSpaw, so it seemed like a good place to begin. I did some research on other places in Woodbury, and the DogSpaw was able to get me in right when I wanted, and the price was what I expected ($60 w/tip for a 10lb dog). My dog looked absolutely adorable, smelled clean, and was in a great mood when we picked him up. He's very even-tempered and docile, so I didn't think this trip would ruffle his feathers too much. Overall, our experience was great. The staff was very attentive and nice- they made me feel really comfortable leaving my dog there for 2 hours. We will definitely be back!
