She always looks like I'm abandoning her on the median strip of the Mass Pike. Gentle Grooms was the 3rd groomer I tried, and I'm so thankful my friend recommended sandy to me.

And no one in the family wants to even TRY clipping her nails at home, because she gets so panicked and squirmy, we're afraid of accidentally making her bleed! But we've gone twice now to the Wizard of Pawz, and the second time, she was soooo much calmer with getting her nails trimmed! Her back was shaved 2 months ago for spinal surgery, so they did a nice job of trimming the rest of her fur shorter to help it blend in. And the shorter trim on her legs (which usually look like she's wearing fluffy 80's legwarmers!) help so that her fur isn't getting tangled/matted or full of ticks when she's out in the taller grass! The staff are so sweet and friendly there -- you can tell they just adore dogs. We will be back for sure!

Not only…read morewas the grooming itself excellent, but when I picked them up, it was obvious my grumpy old dog really liked Carlos (and he doesn't like anyone). The shop itself is small and very clean. Also worth mentioning is that there were a half dozen dogs in the grooming area, and they were all super calm and happy, and clearly felt very comfortable with Carlos. I highly recommend Soft Paws!

It's an absolute ripoff, and I wouldn't go here if I had any other option to give my dog a bath when it's too cold to do outside.

I'm definitely going back to her! The price is also very reasonable so a plus on that as well! Thank you Daniella!

I no longer trust Crate Escape to care for my dog…read more Our dog had gone to the Crate Escape since he'd had his shots. He was well cared-for, and enjoyed going there. The last few times we brought him there, the staff was clearly under-trained and awkward with him. After one pickup, we noticed a nasty abrasion on his skin with some bleeding. I got an "oh gosh, we didn't notice that", and a followup phone call that meant nothing. They have switched to an online booking system that's poorly designed and a pain to use, very different from the days when you'd just call and make a reservation. I strongly recommend avoiding these folks. They used to be great. I would have gone out of my way to bring in more customers for them back then; all the good will is gone.
