nail cut to the brim

I'm honestly very disappointed with my experience here. I brought my cat in expecting a professional grooming service, but unfortunately, there were several issues. The biggest concern was the nail trimming. One of my cat's nails was cut too far and started bleeding, which was extremely upsetting and concerning. I understand accidents can happen, but this should be handled with much more care, especially when working around sensitive areas. The salon never mentioned anything about the injury or acknowledged what had happened. I was also unhappy with the shaving technique. The shave looked uneven and rushed, and there were areas that didn't look properly blended or finished. For the price of the grooming service, I would hope for a much better experience for my cat, as well as a cleaner and more professional result. The salon never mentioned anything about the uneven shave or the quality of the finished grooming. Overall, I left feeling frustrated because I trusted the salon to take good care of my cat. I hope the salon takes this feedback seriously and improves the way these services are performed. I would not feel comfortable returning based on this experience.

Today was our first visit taking our newly adopted cat Banana to this groomer. With cats, we knew there was a possibility of either our cat scratching or being aggressive, but when we picked up Banana we were told he was very calm and they were able to bathe him and trim his nails. The lady at the front desk told us, something along the lines of, oh by the way, the groomer in the back said that his nail looks weird in the back right. We were under the impression they left it alone. So we reply with concern and share that we'd monitor him for any active licking since there hasn't been any concern up until now. She told us that sometimes cat nails are super fragile and that there might have been something black underneath. We went home and took him out of his carrier to see his foot actively bleeding. We attempted to wrap his foot up but had no luck and just put a cone on him until he could receive professional care. This bleeding was not a previous issue and with how much blood came out of his paw, it does not look like he even has a nail there anymore. We understand accidents happen, but I think we would have preferred an honest and upfront conversation. Something like "we're so sorry, he moved when we clipped his nails" would have been much preferable over coming home and seeing our cat actively bleeding.

We took our recently adopted pup here for a bath and he came out soooo soft and fluffy! He was also not nervous going in or coming out, I can tell the staff really loves dogs here. This will be our go-to groomer!

Amazing. I can't even begin to express how happy I am with their services! I've been truly blessed to have found this gem. My puppy, Benito, is such a nervous wreck and they know just how to handle him. Our groomer, Petal, is a god send! She knows how to get him to calm down and do his best. Will continue coming here. Everyone is always so nice.

I was honestly really hesitant to switch groomers because my dog Maple has been going to the same place since she was a puppy. But it was time for a change..Maple would come back shaking and clearly stressed. Researched a bunch of places and decided to try this place as I had heard good things from others. I booked with Petal and she is the sweetest! She is such a gem! Petal was super gentle and really paid attention to Maple, especially since it was her first time there. Maple usually hates getting her nails filed/shaved down and will fight it, but she did so well with her, which says a lot. Best part, Maple came out happy. Tail wagging, excited, not stressed at all. That alone made me feel so much better about switching. So happy we found Petal!

Every one is so nice. It's nice and quiet and clean also. Even know he is just a puppy they were able to take great care of him.

We took our 5 month old puppies Frankie & Ozzy here for their FIRST grooming ever and Petal did an absolutely AMAZING job. We couldn't be happier with the level of care that was taken and how gorgeous our babies look and smell after their grooming. Petal and Lydia from Petrichor Pet Salon were communicative and surprisingly prompt with our grooming. I know some salons take 8+ hours to groom a dog, and this was less than half the time for both! We are so happy with the results and are looking forward to our next appointment!

We've tried several different grooming places, and each time our girls are shaking with fear when we take them. Our girls are English Staffordshire Bull Terriers, very low maintenance. However, they need to get their teeth, nails, and glands checked for overall health. We found a gem at a local Petco. She was kind, patient, and overall lovely. Two things stood out to us: one, our girls weren't shaking or even fighting us to get them through the building door. They accepted that they had to get groomed, but didn't mind once they saw Petal. Two was We had an appt, and there was a person ahead of us waiting as well. She spoke to, comforted, and took time with the people ahead of us. She didn't rush to help as many people as she could. She apologized to us, walked the other pup to the kennel, and then helped us. When it was our turn, we told her we really liked how she gave each pup her undivided attention. She said yes, "I give each of them the attention they need. I'm sorry you may have to wait, but each pup needs to feel comfortable." Couldn't agree more. Than came, Petal said she was leaving. We live in Huntington Beach, and she was going to Irvine. Which was kennel-free, and our two girls would stay together the whole time. No brainer, we followed her, and our girls are still a bit dramatic, but when we pick them up, they still give Petal kisses and love, as if to say ok we still love you.

Excellent first time for my pup there and will definitely be coming back! My Gypsy looked gorgeous and bday ready!

First time here, Grace is an amazing groomer! She's a good communicator and made sure she understood what I wanted in my dogs haircut. Before I left, she also checked that I was happy with everything. I'm pleasantly surprised I was able to book with her the same day. I'll definitely be coming back to her :)

Had an amazing experience, the groomer petal did an amazing job getting her fur all ready for summer. She smells amazing, I've gone here a handful of time and never had a terrible experience. Definitely will keep coming

I used to have no issues with Paw Sweet Paw years ago but after just brining my 1yr old rescue here twice that was enough. First time he was return smelling awful, accidents happen. Second time boarding with them (12 hours) he was returned to me COVERED in both pee and actual poop on him. Before he was return the second time, the staff told me he had a "little accident" and asked if I wanted him bathed or just wiped down. After already waiting an extra 1.5 hours because of the cut operational hours, I said just wiped down him down and I'll bath him later. It was clearly not a little accident and wasn't even wiped down. The attendant brought him out less than a minute later. Wiping down a dirty, poop covered dog would take longer than one minute. The extent of the odor took 3 baths and he is now dealing with multiple stomach issues results in vomiting and diarrhea. He also was returned with a clearly visible scab and swelling on his nose. Trying to contact management has been extremely disappointing after a very disappointing 12 hr dog boarding visit. The asst. manager seemed to be the only one to take the time to respond and discuss these issues, but very limited to how she can remedy or alleviate some of these issues. I have been waiting for a week now on Janelle, the top Manager of both locations to reach out with fur to we discussions about the incredibly low standards, cleanliness, and overall care for our pets staying there. Seems like Janelle couldn't care less for the well-being of the dogs she is being entrusted to take care of while she is the one in charge from what I've been told.

After reaching out to several grooming places for quotes, one place stood out--they called me back promptly after I expressed my interest, and they offered a fantastic first-time customer discount, which I thought was a wonderful touch. I took my dog there, unsure of what to expect but hopeful. To my surprise, she seemed incredibly comfortable with the groomer right away, which is unusual because she's typically a bit skittish around new people. I was amazed when she walked over to the scale on command and actually sat down--a feat she rarely accomplishes with anyone other than me! I explained exactly what I wanted, dropped her off, and to my delight, I received a call much sooner than expected saying she was ready. When I picked her up, she looked absolutely fabulous! I did ask for a little touch-up in one area--a tidy-up for her bottom--and the groomer took care of it without any fuss. The best part? My dog was so calm and relaxed with the groomer. Given some past horror stories with other groomers, I couldn't believe how smoothly everything went this time. It was pure joy to see her happy and stress-free when I brought her home. While the prices felt a bit steep, I realized that having my dog groomed without the anxiety for her is totally worth it. I can't wait to bring her back for another pampering session!

My only thing is that I am not sure if they were understaffed or overbooked but the bath for her took almost 2 hours so I was waiting in the area for a pretty long time. Her coat and skin have actually been really good since bringing her, so I'll probably be back but hopefully the wait won't be as long

We brought him in at 13 weeks to the EveryPup Program, where he is in a clean and disinfected facility with other safe and healthy pups and he gets training every day by Dave. Almost from day 1 we started noticing huge changes, and he matured so rapidly it's like we have a different dog! He is very calm, polite and attentive, and has been able to self-regulate so well. Dave is always available for our questions and follow ups, and he sends over progress notes and photos every day from training sessions. We also would ask him about problem behavior such as counter surfing or jumping up on people to greet, and Dave would target those specific behaviors as well. We also appreciated how fast and quickly they acted on our puppy swallowing something he shouldn't have, and immediately gave him some hydrogen peroxide to get him to throw it up, which saved us from extremely expensive and likely traumatic vet visits and possible surgery. Very grateful! Every day we pick up our puppy he is so happy from a day of playing and getting love from all the staff, and is tired and ready for some cuddles and naps when he gets home.

She did this at a point where I took my dog as a last ditch effort. My dog has extreme allergies (both food and environmental) and scratches ALL day long (if she's not eating or sleeping, she is scratching). Her skin was in terrible condition and she had been ripping her hair out and causing hot spots. When I say I took the dog in horrible condition, I am not exaggerating. Our Vet has given us advice (guesses) and given the dog prescriptions, supplements, injections, and tests....with ZERO improvement! I've spent thousands of dollars trying to get our dog healthy and nothing ever helped! Based on a recommendation to take Gracie to The Spaw I dove in telling myself this is the last time. If this fails, we will just do the best to let her live her life out as comfortably as possible, which is a sad place to be as a dog mom. She's not even 7 years old and she still has a lot of life to live. Meeting Carrie was the best thing that has ever happened to our dog! She recommended some specific testing and said that Shih Tzus often have low Zinc which can lead to skin issues. We had her tested by a Vet and sure enough, her Zinc was SO LOW!!! She made some suggestions about supplements we could give her. At a follow up test, we could see some improvement in her Zinc levels. She also said that it looks like my dog had mange and that Shih Tzus are also susceptible to mites. Our Vet never once mentioned that as a potential cause nor did she test for mange. We did a skin scraping with a different Vet who found no mites, but she suggested we put her on a mite medication for a couple of months. The stuff that came out of/off my dog was disgusting (old die off???)! Through skin cytology, we also confirmed Gracie had serious yeast overgrowth. That was not a mystery to me, because our house smelled so bad! I didn't even like to have people over because it was so embarrassing. Carrie gave Gracie sulfur baths and used some other amazing technologies on her; Ozone baths, red light, blue light, and micro bubbles to name a few. It was a lot of work, but I can tell you for the first time in years, I'm actually optimistic about Gracie's future AND my house no longer smells disgusting. We boarded her for a period of time so we could do some deep cleaning and reset our house before she returned. I'm so glad I made that initial call to The Spaw. Carrie truly loves my dog and my dog loves Carrie! When we drive to The Spaw my dog knows. When we hit Tustin Ranch Road from the 5 Freeway, Gracie starts going crazy! When we get there, she practically jumps out of the car. Thankfully, her harness is clipped in, so she can't get out of her car seat without help. ;) On the subject of Boarding: I love that The Spaw has staff on the premises 24 hours a day and that the dogs aren't locked in crates all day. I am so grateful to see my dog's hair growing back and for her to have noticeably more energy and MUCH less scratching! Carrie clearly loves animals and is a true blessing. She admitted that my dog's issues forced her to do deep dive research to find help for Gracie. I will forever be grateful for the life she has given back to my dog! She is much more than "a groomer!"
