So as you all know, I am a little bit crazy about my dog... nope, I lied, actually, I am one of…read morethose crazy doggie moms to be honest; I throw a birthday party for my dog, buy lots of treats, get him tons of toys, etc. I swear I think he's got a lot more cool stuff than myself and I work hard so that my dog can have a good life haha. Anyway, I was looking for a nice grooming place for my doggie and decided to try The Pawty after reading a lot of awesome reviews on Yelp... and OMG, I am so glad I found this place because I gotta say, this place is the best grooming place I've ever been to. First of all, I really like the name of this place, how cute... and brilliant. The Pawty haha! Secondly, I love the fact that this place doesn't cage dogs. I mean "grooming" is pretty stressful to dogs already, so caging them for hours and making them wait on us for a while? nope, not a big fan. I made an appointment with Keeley thru the phone and gosh, let me tell you this, she is the best/nicest groomer ever. When we got there, Teddy was too nervous and as soon as she picked him up, he pooped! I felt so bad but Keeley just laughed and tried so hard to make my dog feel comfortable. My dog has some kind of anxiety issue and when I met Keeley, I already knew that Teddys in good hands! I told Keeley what kind of haircut I wanted, things about Teddy, etc. I could tell Keeley truly cares about dogs and she will treat your dogs just like hers! She did such an amazing job with my little man Teddy and I was so impressed; perfect nails, poofy tails, his body hair looked so even, and oh my god, Teddy smelled so good for days!!! I think that for this kind of amazing job and the fact that my dog doesn't need to wait on me in the cage for hours, this price is very reasonable. Teddy and I just came back from our second visit today and Teddy seemed like he had such a great time with Keeley! Keeley always tells me how Teddy did, what I need to know about his coat and skin, and other little stuff I can miss easily. I highly recommend The Pawty if you are looking for a dog groomer for your dog, you are gonna love this place!!!

Kelley is amazing! She did a wonderful job grooming our havapoo, and she gave us exactly the cut we…read moreasked for!! We'll definitely use her again!!!

I would give this place 5 stars were it not for the fact that they nicked my dogs nip on the belly…read moreshaving for the mini grooming. You could tell more irl that it was cut a bit and had blood smeared. My dog seemed super happy to be there and walked right in through the dog gate to the back. When I was talking to the woman at the register she said that she (my dog) acted like she knew the drill and walked right into her kennel/cage which is incredible because she hates water or baths and usually tries to make a run for it at least she did when we would take her to Petco. Super friendly and helpful staff and extremely reasonable prices ($110 for an XL? dog: mini groom/teeth brushed and clipped nails included)l. My dog is usually between 105-110 lbs). They did SUCH a good job clipping her nails. Even the vets we've seen in the past can't do a good job and sometimes miss nails altogether. They did a wonderful job. Would come back and skip the belly shave. Parking is a loading zone at the front of the shop. It's "downtown" Raleigh but like on the outskirts so it's not too busy and it isn't difficult to get a parking spot if you go in the morning. Drop off is between 8-10am. I dropped her off at 9 and they finished by around 3 (like 2:45 to be exact haha).

We started coming here for grooming for our sweet elderly pup several years ago, and we were so…read moreimpressed by the kindness and care they showed her in her later years. We have a new puppy now, and they've shown her just as much sweetness, helping her transition to regular grooming in a gentle way. We wouldn't go anywhere else for grooming in Raleigh.

Tasha has been the groomer for our dog for over 5 years. She's very nice and I believe cares…read moregreatly about what she does and how she does. The last couple of times she groomed our dog there were a couple of issues, so the last time she came to our home to take care of our dog I brought those issues to her attention. A few days later she sent an email ending our "business relationship" because though our "complaints and concerns are valid" she "could not confirm or deny" what happened. I wish to point out that when I told her of these concerns that I was as polite as I could be with her, so that she was aware of what happened. In her email to us she expressed that she felt very anxious while working on our dog after our exchange. Which is part of the reason she quit. After 5 years of having her come to our house to groom our pet and having a pleasant business relationship we thought we had, we thought that bringing things like this to her attention would be nothing more than something for her to consider while working on our pet, regardless of whether she could confirm or deny what she was being being told.

At least one of the owners of the facility is always on site and in my experience, they're very invested in the well-being of their customers - again, dogs AND humans! I especially like that they offer flexible time slots: 3 hours as well as half and full days and discounts for buying a package of sessions. Very pleased - we're new here but so far, great experience!

*This review is only pertaining to grooming…read more Staff very friendly on arrival - female at counter took notes on type of grooming desired "all over, full body trim" for my Australian Shepherd. (A bit odd the groomer herself was not speaking with me directly but put faith in her being a professional and my dog being somewhat common/well-known breed.) I specifically stated no shave. I'm all for a summer cut, but my baby was sheared! About 0.5-1in left on her, shaved her belly, and nicked her paws (discovered after we got home). Totally took away from integrity of the breed and it's cut. The technique used did not look anywhere near professional.

I asked why she wanted to know and she said she had never seen anything like it. I was happy to share with her that what she was seeing was the work of Woof Gang's "groomers"

Waited over 2 weeks for an appointment and with the summer heat, have no choice but to cut my dog's hair myself. The people making this policy must be completely ignorant to the fact that most Spaniels, Bulldogs, Beagles, Dachshunds, etc have an IVDD gene. If they're really that worried about their liability, they shouldn't groom any of these breeds AND let you know that when you make the appointment....not halfway through it. What a terrible franchise.
