    GROOMER PUT A COTTON BALL INSIDE MY DOGS VULVA WHILE SHE WAS IN HEAT. SHE WASNT EVEN BLEEDING THAT MUCH. 100% UNNECESSARY & UNACCEPTABLE

    ten out of ten DO NOT RECOMMEND!! I shouldve known how terrible this experience would be with the multiple texts requiring me to send proof of vaccination and poor customer service. I texted ahead for an appointment for my 4 pound maltese and got it scheduled. before the appointment, my dog went into heat. i texted them and notified them and asked if it was still okay to bring her in. no response. 5 minutes later i get a text to confirm appointment. soooo i figured they were okay with it. i confirmed. day of our appointment, i bring her in on time. when I arrived I checked in and she kept bringing up another name. I wasnt sure where she was going with this so I kept telling her im a new client. so they had me fill out paperwork and while I was filling it out, a lady walks in with the name of the dog the reception was repeating to me earlier. -_- she scolded me for bringing her in while she was in heat. told me they will take her this time but next time no. thats fine.... i did ask beforehand... after they asked me a few questions and I showed a few pictures to the groomer, they took my dog. as I was leaving i came back to confirm pricing. I spoke to Mindy and she asked me how much my dog weighed. 4 pounds. okay so $50. *points at basic for xsmall dog = 50*. which includes this this n this. ok perfect. 50. ill go to the bank. 3 hours later I get a text at 11:58 to pick up my dog at 12. thanks for the 2 minutes heads up. when i came to get my dog, the receptionist tells me its going to be $80. I explained that I was told before services started that the price would be $50. there was a lot of back n forth. the lady who i assumed was the owner, Mindy acted like she was going to pass out while discussing this issue with me. i left money on the table and left. A little bit after, I guess the owner or someone who handles issues calls me. apologetically tells me it was a misunderstanding and the receptionist was new. blamed the newbie... I appreciated the call and was going to leave it alone. she then tells me that the groomer had put in a cotton ball on my dog to prevent bleeding. I assumed she made a makeshift bandaid. NOPE. she made a makeshift TAMPON. THEY STUCK A FREAKING COTTON BALL IN MY 4 POUND DOG'S VULVA. she didnt call me to be apologetic, she called to warn me her groomer fucked up n left a foreign object inside my dog. this place is horrible all around. never coming back and do not recommend this place to ANYONE anddddd thennnnn.... hours later they texted me to tell me to pick up cookie. Who the hell is cookie? People can lose their dogs at this place. so unprofessional. owner should handle all calls and texts so they cant blame staff for being incompetent.

    I had a really disappointing experience here and feel completely misled. Before coming in, I called to ask about the price for a nail trim and made sure to mention that my dog is large. I was told it would be $10-$15. When I arrived, the place looked clean and I even checked the price list posted in the waiting area, which also clearly said $10-$15 for nail trimming. However, after the service was done, I was charged $25. When I questioned it and explained that I had called ahead and specifically mentioned that my dog is large, the response I got was that they "didn't know he was that big." My dog is a large doodle -- not some unusually massive or rare breed -- and I had already made that clear over the phone. It's extremely frustrating to confirm pricing beforehand, see the same price advertised in the shop, and then be charged significantly more afterward with no real explanation. If the price depends on size, that should be clearly communicated upfront, especially when a customer takes the time to ask beforehand. This felt misleading and unprofessional. I left feeling like the pricing was not transparent and that my concerns were dismissed when I brought them up. Because of this experience, I will not be returning.

    I've come to Pawtastic for some time now and I feel like no matter how much I explain how I want her haircut they don't listen and do what they want. Yes I wanted a shorter hair cut but I wanted a teddy bear look... fuzzy. My dog when in with a lot of hair for them to be able to achieve the hair cut I asked for. Just know if you come here, the hair cut will not be what you ask for.

    The groomers at OC Pawtastic were so sweet, patient, and kind to our (very loud) Samoyed when he came in for his first grooming session a week or two back. Due to his extensive needs, he was there for close to 7 hours. The groomers were really understanding when I was stuck at an appointment with my son and was delayed in picking him up, which I really appreciated. He came out looking like a million bucks. We will bring him back in a heartbeat! Thank you OC Pawtastic!

    Freshly groomed Cookie!

    Took my puppy Cookie in for grooming today and my puppy is a little fussy and whines a lot near new people but the staff must be amazing here! Cookie has never been so clean and so good looking and I did not think she could be cuter but Pawtastic made that happen. Again, such quick and easy service; make sure to bring your dog's vaccination records!! Thank you to the amazing receptionist Hanna for being such a wonderful member of the team; I can't wait to be back in 6 months for another visit. Pawtastic deserves ALL the good reviews and more. I'm so lucky to have found this place for my puppy!

    I took my dog, Dubu, here for grooming yesterday, and I couldn't be happier with the results! I've had so many frustrating experiences at other shops where the final look was the complete opposite of the reference photos I provided. It was always so discouraging. However, a friend highly recommended this place for their skill, and I'm so glad I listened! The grooming was identical to the photo I showed them--perfect in every way. Beyond their technical skill, the staff was incredibly kind. You can truly tell they genuinely love dogs, which gave me so much peace of mind leaving Dubu there for 3 hours. Even though it's a bit of a drive from my house, the quality and service make it 100% worth it. I've finally found my go-to spot and won't be going anywhere else. Highly recommend to any pet parent who wants perfection!

    Freshly groomed!

    This is my go-to grooming service and they do everything for $70 for my 10-pound shih chon. Most other places just do bath + trim and everything else would be extra. Call and schedule your grooming!

    They took great care of my elderly dog, and gave him a fresh summer cut. Their prices were reasonable, and my dog was happy to see them when I took him for another cut, so I know he was treated well.

    They do a wonderful job with the cut for my Shih Tzu. They take lovely pictures when the grooming is done. The only service I wish they offered is pulling the hair from my dog's ears. This is needed for dogs with hair.

    First time for my dog Lucy! It was very clean when I walked in and I was helped out with immediately. She came out looking so cute! Will be coming here now. You get a discount for using cash :)

    I recently adopted a dog in July and have taken him here twice so far for grooming! My dog is always so happy to come here. I appreciate their attention to detail and really great customer service. I usually get the premium package for $80, and I like blade #5 because his fur is cut short enough that he typically lasts about 2-2.5 months before needing another grooming appointment. Appointments are easy to schedule, and the person who answers the phone/works the front desk is always so sweet. Overall, I would highly recommend!!

    We brought our pup Chai here, and her groomer had actually flown in all the way from Korea! We were so impressed with the grooming--we'll definitely be back to try their regular groomers too. The service was great! While the groomers only speak Korean, the kind front desk lady helps translate everything you need, so communication was no problem at all. Honestly, some of the previous reviews really don't do them justice--this place is amazing, especially if you have a long-haired pup like ours. Chai came out looking like the perfect teddy bear--such a cute and clean cut! We're super happy with the results and will definitely be returning. 우리 강아지 차이를 이곳에 처음 맡겼는데, 한국에서 직접 오신 미용사 선생님이 맡아주셨어요! 너무 만족스러워서 다음엔 정규 미용사 분들도 꼭 맡겨보고 싶어요. 서비스도 정말 좋아요. 미용사분들은 한국어만 하시지만, 친절한 프론트 직원분이 통역을 도와주셔서 전혀 문제 없었어요. 솔직히 이전 리뷰들이 너무 과하게 나쁜 것 같아요--여기 정말 좋은 곳이에요, 특히 저희처럼 장모종 강아지 키우시는 분들께 완전 추천! 차이는 완벽한 테디베어 컷으로 너무 예쁘게 나왔어요! 귀엽고 깔끔하게 잘 다듬어져서 정말 만족합니다. 꼭 다시 올 거예요!

    This place is fantastic! Pawtastic provided excellent service to our pup, Ben. I called a week before to set up a Saturday appointment and was glad they could accommodate me. I believe they take walk-ins, but I just wanted to ensure they have a spot open for Ben. On the day of the appointment, my wife dropped off Ben and showed the groomer what kind of styling we wanted. We were told that since this is Ben's first time with a groomer, it's not for sure he will cooperate. Hence, he's never had a scissor cut or anything. Three hours later, we got a call, and Ben was ready. We were so happy to see him with his new style; we could tell he felt good! The groomer did such a fantastic job. This is precisely what we wanted, and I'm glad it turned out perfectly. As the groomer suggested, we should take him there sometimes for shampooing to get used to the environment, which we will! This place is great, and the pricing is reasonable. We will be coming back again for Ben's next grooming service. Thanks Pawtastic!

    First time at MVP Dog Grooming, I had a great experience! I asked for a summer cut and my pup came…read moreout amazing and smelling great, which was a very nice touch. Very fast response with booking. Very clean, professional location and service. I will definitely be coming back.

    After about 11 months of bringing my pomapoo here, I've decided I won't be returning…read more I'll start with my most recent visit. I brought my dog in over Easter weekend, and because I was injured, I wasn't able to fully brush her out beforehand like I usually do. She's a Pomeranian with thick fur, and while she did have some matting in typical areas, it was not severe. I've worked in a veterinary setting, so I'm familiar with what's manageable. When my husband dropped her off, he was told they wouldn't be able to achieve the usual teddy bear cut and suggested shaving her down instead. What wasn't communicated clearly was just how short that would be. When I picked her up, she was shaved extremely close, far beyond what I expected, and it was honestly shocking. She looked nothing like herself. This isn't the first issue. On a previous visit, she was cut so short that she developed irritation and a rash, and her tail was left uneven to the point that I had to trim it myself after it got soiled immediately. I've also since heard from friends and family (that I referred) who've had similar experiences, especially during busy weekends or holidays. It seems like overbooking may lead to rushed grooms and defaulting to shaving dogs down rather than working through coats more carefully. I also want to note that vaccination status was never asked about, which initially made this place convenient for me at the time, but in hindsight, that's not something I'm comfortable with. I've communicated before that I don't want my dog shaved down this short, and I just don't feel that preference has been respected or clearly discussed. Between the inconsistent results, lack of communication, and overall experience, I'll be taking my business elsewhere moving forward
