**UPDATE IN RESPONSE TO THE OWNER'S COMMENT** It's a shame that the new owner does not take ownership of their error and the injury caused to my dog. This truly reflects the kind of business being run in Paxton. The groomer admitted their mistake, which was noted on Oreo's grooming record--unless it has been improperly shredded. Oreo went to the same groomer on June 12, 2024, and I clearly instructed them not to touch his ears. They acknowledged this and left his ears alone. However, after about a month of my treatment (including Neosporin & Vetericyn ), it became clear that a vet appointment was necessary, so Oreo saw the vet on June 25, 2024 where he was given treatment plan of Manuka Honey and Inflatable Cone. He then had a comprehensive exam on July 8, where they stated to continue with the treatment since the Ear takes a while to heal After about a month & 1/2, I took him to urgent care on September 4 because his ears were not healing properly (The vet stated that ears does take a while to heal). They provided additional treatment and a dog helmet, which we are currently using. It's irresponsible for this establishment to shift blame onto the owners instead of taking accountability for their actions. My wife called The Pampered Pet several times, and they returned my call on September 17th. The owner said he could reimburse me via check but needed to think it over. I stated I didn't want to sue or harm a small business, but they need to take accountability. ******* ORIGINAL REVIEW: I took my dog to Pampered Pet for grooming, and unfortunately, my experience has been extremely disappointing. During the grooming process, my dog suffered a serious injury--his ears were cut quite badly. I was devastated and took him to multiple vet appointments to address the injuries, and we have medical records and pictures to document the extent of the damage. What's even more frustrating is that one of their groomers acknowledged the cut, yet the management has refused to take any accountability for what happened. This lack of responsibility is unacceptable, especially when it comes to the safety and well-being of our pets. I also know that the new owners will likely respond to this review, but it's a shame that they don't seem to care as much as the previous owners did. Their negligence has caused my dog pain and discomfort, and I wouldn't want anyone else to go through the same experience. I cannot recommend Pampered Pet based on my experience.

So glad we found this place. We have a beautiful long hair cat named Buda - she is our baby girl. Even though we brush her daily her fur became severely matted. We brought her to Pampered Pet in Paxton and within 2 hours she had a beautiful lion's cut and ALL the mats were GONE. We could tell that Buda felt so much better! Bethany did an excellent professional grooming job. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. We were nervous going in but happy and relieved going out. Definitely recommend this place and Buda will be going back regularly for her "spa day". Thank you for a wonderful experience. Randy, Eddie & Buda

We've used them a few times for our golden doodle and they did a wonderful job! Everyone is so nice and pleasant!!

I honestly can't imagine a better grooming or customer experience. Everyone cares for your dog as much as you do. They make you and Fido feel as if you're their only concern. Sue hand-strips our Airedale puppy (not an easy task on not an easy breed at not an easy age!) and along the way always gives me tips for how I can learn to do it myself and help along the way in between appointments. Who does that these days?. She loves what she does and loves her clients - you can't say much more than that. Staff is always pleasant and accommodating on the phone and during drop off/pickup.

Just want to share my past 2 recent experiences I've had with Pampered Pet in Paxton. I've been taking my dog there since he was a pup, 2015 and never had any problems, he's always come out beautifully. The last two times the groomer says he's difficult with his paws and won't let you touch them. This was so random so my first thought was perhaps he was hurt In one of his last baths before becoming "difficult" because this was news to me. The owner assured me that this wasn't the case and maybe reaching out to his vet to make sure he wasn't hurting internally. Of course this was done, and no problems, as expected, healthy little guy and he let anyone touch his paws and loves his belly rubbed. Upon taking him last week to be groomed again with a very slight sedation per the recommendation of the owner at Pampered Pet I was told by that groomer of the day that she would not have done that! What the hell! That said, per that groomer my pup was not difficult in terms of shaving his face/body only his paws but yet this is the end result was absolutely ridiculous ! My 4 year old grandson could've done better! Angela and Amy who are employees there were extremely UNPROFESSIONAL as Amy felt the need to chime in the conversation I was having with Angela to defend the shotty work! ANGLEA and AMY NO THANKS!! PAMPERED PET IN PAXTON MA we will NOT be back! Taking him to his new groomer Thursday and I'll be sure to post picture! ALSO- they didn't bathe him either!

See all

My dog loves going to Waggerz as do I. The staff is friendly and knowledgable, and my dog comes…read morehome happy and tired from daycare every time. I have also boarded my dog there. The main reason I chose Waggerz Lounge a couple years ago was based on the fact that they don't kennel the dogs, I received several positive reviews from co-workers/others who send their dogs there, and they don't require a reservation for daycare. My dog is fine at home, but I like to bring him in to get his energy out, or on a day where I won't be home at night, etc, so it's not always the same time. He can't contain his excitement on the ride or on arrival. When he comes out at the end of the day, he's happy and fairly quickly will be fast asleep from all the play. As a comparison to Waggerz, I moved out of state for a few months, and needed to use a new daycare near there. I chose one with positive reviews and they even had webcams to check in on your dog. I found there that many of the staff did not seem excited about working there and when I turned on the webcam, I could watch dogs being ignored or pushed away from the employees. Most of the time I couldn't find my dog. Eventually they said he was 'too energetic' and 'didn't get tired enough' and they would kennel him to try and chill him out. When I returned to MA recently, I was no longer as close to Waggerz so I went to visit a daycare that is literally less than half a mile to my house. Upon arrival, I could see some dogs outside, maybe 15 or so. When the woman toured me through, she showed me the empty playroom. We then went to the kennel room. There were easily 40 dogs in kennels barking. She said they'd rotate the dogs throughout the day, but clearly the majority of them were just in a kennel all day. My dog is fine at home, I bring him to day care to play, socialize, and tire himself out. A kennel would not do that. Now I drive an extra 10 minutes past work to bring him to Waggerz. To folks that complain they are expensive, their prices are in-line with or cheaper than the options closest to me. If you pre-pay for a certain number of sessions, it only gets cheaper. And for the fact that your dog has caring attendants and gets to play indoor and out the entire time they are there, it's worth it! To folks that complain their dogs smell afterwards.. they are dogs! Actually, surprisingly, my dog usually smells pretty good on return. But I certainly wouldn't expect a dog running around all day, rolling around with other dogs, to not smell like dog. No big deal. If it's bad, he gets a bath or gets one the next time he's at Waggerz. Do they have kennels in there, yup. Cause sometimes you need them. My dog got kenneled immediately once when he showed signs of kennel cough. It was necessary for the safety of the other dogs and I was called to pick him up. Luckily it turned out it wasn't, but they made the right call for the best of all the dogs (my vet agreed completely!). For drop of times, I'd say this is the one area Waggerz could approve, and this relates pretty exclusively to boarding. Drop-off/pickup times do not allow you to attend work that day because they are mid-day. You can drop-off early or pickup later if you pay for the extra time in day care. It would be nice if it included the morning of day-care, at least on the day you drop-off, but it's not required. My new puppy will be making his first visit there tomorrow. Can't wait! TL;DR Waggerz is great. Staff knows what they are doing and your dog gets to play all day. If they are boarded, they don't get stuck in a kennel and someone actually is there overnight. Visit yourself and take a tour before you believe the negative reviews.

I was seriously thinking of bringing my dog here, but forget it. Took a ride there today for their…read more11:00 tour, as per their website, and was told they were not doing tours due to Covid. I was assured I could still bring my dog, but I would not be allowed to see the facility at all. When I balked a bit, the person told me she would be very happy leaving her pets at a facility that she can not check out beforehand, and I should too. WHAT???? Isn't visiting a facility the first thing you should consider before leaving your dog there??? So a wasted trip because no one can bother updating the web site to say you can never see inside.
