    Fairy tail fluff

    10/10 experience! This was our 2nd time having Miffy groomed by Paws & Effect and we are more than satisfied! They treat animals with kindness, listen to their customers, and do a great job! Highly recommend! Chris did a great job coloring his tail as well :)

    Professor AFTER his spa session

    I had recently adopted Professor who originally had matted patches and was in need of a spa day. I came across Paws & Effect via yelp. We've already been back twice! The staff are so nice and made us feel welcomed. Professor was calm and came out looking so fresh, clean and smelled great! Will definitely recommend this place and plan to come back again ^_^

    They do a really good job with golden retrievers. The grooming is thorough, they follow all instructions and I've never had a bad experience.

    Happy groomed girl
    Michelle D.

    This was my first time bringing my dog here, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She was really scared because she had a bad experience at another grooming place where someone accidentally cut her paw while trimming her nails. The team here was so kind, gentle, and patient with her -- it made such a difference. The staff member at the front, Quinlan, was especially welcoming and helpful, which made our first visit even better. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back!

    I'm new in town and so happy to have found our new groomer! I was a little nervous about how my dog's haircut would turn out, but they quickly put me at ease. The staff was so kind and gentle with him, and I really appreciated that they called to confirm before trimming shorter than expected. That extra thoughtfulness means a lot. My pup came out looking just as cute (if not cuter!) than his last haircut . We'll definitely be coming back!

    My dog looks amazing and feels pampered! Not only does she feel safe and comfortable when she comes here for grooming but she leaves looking gorgeous and smelling fantastic!

    I was previously taking my dog to Health Spot for grooming but we had a bad experience and I had to find a new groomer. It's always daunting to take your senior dog into a new groomers, but the staff at Paws & Effect Pet Spa have made that transition incredibly easy. Not only are they closer to me but they are all incredibly nice, their prices are very reasonable and they don't nickel and dime you on add-ons. My dog Lucy got an incredible cut and they were able to finish fairly quickly which is always nice. I'm so glad we found a new and better local groomer.

    Took my dog Charlie here for the first time today! We usually go to PETCO and feel like he comes back shedding the same amount and little care is taken to make him feel special. The team here took their time to de shed him, added paw oil, brushed his teeth, and even provided him with a flower on his collar and some treats. The owner was fantastic and workers were kind. A bit more expensive than PETCO but you're getting that special small business treatment. We will be back!

    My baby Talulah looked like perfection, she looked terrible before she went in. Thank you for being so kind and not judging xx

    Thrilled beyond compare, the young man behind the counter really went above and beyond and I wish I got the spelling of his name so I could share it here. Great service, adorable store, not as high priced like everywhere else which has been hard to deal with. A great place ! Thank you, I will continue to come xx

    Huge matt they removed from his head.

    I brought my 10 month old rescue doodle pup (Huxley) here for his first ever haircut. He's a bit of timid boy so I was very nervous going in. I called the morning of my appointment and they did a great job of walking me through the process and giving me tips to help make sure he had a great experience (bring some of your dogs favorite treats!!). When I rescued him, he already had some bad matting behind the ears and on the legs. I definitely could have done a better job grooming him. When I got there I spoke with Quinlan who was amazing! He showed me all the places that were matted that I didn't even notice. He clearly explained that they could try brushing out the matts but that would be an uncomfortable experience for Huxley and may traumatize him, making future grooming scary. I explained that I would REALLY like to keep as much hair as possible but also wanted to prioritize his comfort. Quinlan wrote down all my request and even had my inspiration picture already in their system. (This ain't their first time!) Shortly after I left, I got super anxious about how short they were going to cut. I called back and Quinlan reassured me that he communicated to the groomer that I would like to save as much hair as possible. What I really loved was that about 15 minutes later he gave me a call back saying they had more thuroughly examined Huxley and the matting was more intensive than they previously thought. We agreed that the best way to proceed would just be to shave him and give him a reset to grow back healthy fur. Quinlan and the staff clearly had Huxleys best interest at heart and they did a great job of communicating with me and setting expectations. In preparing for his first haircut I read countless reviews of groomers and saw story after story of someone picking up their dog and the groomer had done something completely opposite of what they requested without ever communicating with the owner. Paws and Effects kept me regularly updated and talked me through what would be best for Huxley. I can't stress enough how nice this was for someone getting their puppie's first haircut and how much it helped to relieve my anxiety. Huxley is now looking cute as a button and doesn't have large matts pulling at his skin, making him uncomfortable! Thank you so much Quinlan and everyone at Paws and Effects. We will definetly be coming back soon! (The photos show how overgrown and matted he was before his cut. They even saved a large matt to show me when I picked him up)

    Andy is a dream come true. After calling every single mobile groomer in the Los Angeles area, I was…read moreappallingly underwhelmed, shall we say. And then there was Andy!!! YAY ANDY. You made an angel pitbull rescue the happiest girl alive by making getting a bath far less traumatic than going to the groomer. From start to finish-- Luna and I were both dazzled. The entire process was so intuitive and easy and intelligent-- the intake form on his website, subsequent communications and all questions wonderfully answered. When I finally met him in person, I got to meet his dog that accompanies him, Cali (safely from the cab, in case like our Luna, socializing is not your thing) who was the gentlest, sweetest, most precious girl. Which, note, is very telling about what kind of person Andy is and his ethos for how he treats every dog: so caring, thorough, attentive, responsive, loving, calm, wise, considerate, communicative, joyful. He is truly a beautiful human. Finding Andy and Puppy Love was a gigantic relief. We are beyond grateful. I heartily recommend their services. Luna gives it five paws-- and that is the highest rating in the world. Because she picky. And hilarious. And maybe the best dog ever. Hence why I had to hunt throughout the whole dang city of concerningly-yikes-groomers to find Andy. And he is clearly and totally worth that effort and more.

    DO NOT GO HERE. If I could sue for animal abuse, I would, it seems like my dog has been tortured…read more For context: my dog is 9 years old, 6 pounds, has no teeth, and has had a C-section. She is small, elderly, and vulnerable. She also has no way to protect herself. Since this groom, my dog is shaking, terrified, withdrawn, walking abnormally, and yelps in pain when picked up and pet even gently. She's previously a show dog, has been groomed many times before, and has never had this kind of reaction. Her personality changed from a happy, social dog who loved being held & pet to a fearful, in constant pain, trembling dog. I brought her in with clear instructions and reference photos: do not cut short. Small trim only--even the coat and keep her round. The woman I spoke to appeared to understand. I arrived for pickup and she was shaved down. No call. No consent. Only after I saw what was done did a man at the front say she "had mats" and told me to "come back every month." If matting was the issue, you call the owner before shaving--especially after being told "do not cut short." There were multiple options (spot demat, longer session, reschedule, partial trim). I would have happily paid for whatever extra time was needed to avoid putting my dog through pain. I had my phone on me and I have no missed calls/texts/voicemails from the business. I've been to the vet within the last month for a full checkup and they confirmed she was healthy, happy, and in zero pain pre-groom. I brush her daily, carefully shave her stomach at home to prevent matting, and she's nothing but sweet. I've had Pomeranians before--this isn't my first rodeo. If they're claiming they shaved her because they thought she was "in pain" before, which she wasn't--she is clearly in a lot of pain now. She can barely sit down without wincing in pain. I called my vet and they're having me come in for a check up this week to make sure they didn't hurt her irreversibly. I paid and left because I'm not confrontational and I was in shock. But when I saw her walking outside I knew something was seriously wrong. I got to my car and broke down crying while holding my helpless dog. And on top of that, the grooming itself is genuinely bad: uneven, choppy, rough, and looks rushed, careless. I'll have to trim her myself to make sure it grows in evenly. They offered a refund which I have not received. I would never want this service even if it were free--trauma is lifelong. Before/after photos attached. If you care about your dog's wellbeing, DO NOT GO here under any circumstances. Its a sketchy business, boarded up windows; I chose it because I thought it was a kinder groomer since they say they don't use cages but you can't see where the dogs are groomed so who knows & there's a genuine lack of care or gentleness in their grooming methods. I don't think my dog has smiled since the appointment.
