The best groomers in all of San Diego! Excellent job with my pups. Great prices, amazing professional and friendly staff. I was shy at first with all the different products but the ladies answered all my questions and helped guide me using the DIY dog bath with all the necessary soaps and tools to get the job done perfectly and even did his nails for a few bucks extra. They have definitely earned a repeat customer for life!!! read more

I highly recommend Paws Place Grooming! I've been taking my pets to Stacey for over 10 years, and she has always been incredibly patient, caring, and loving with all of my animals. It's clear how much she truly cares about every pet she works with. I wouldn't trust anyone else! read more

Stacey has been grooming all of my pets for years, and they always turn out amazing. I truly wouldn't trust anyone else with them! The DIY tubs at the new shop have also been a total game changer. The staff here really stands out. Brianna always goes above and beyond to make sure my pets are cared for, comfortable, and loved, and Nicole is always so friendly and welcoming. The entire team is accommodating, flexible, and genuinely cares about every pet and customer who walks through the door. Highly recommend! read more

The staff is very friendly, the shop was clean annd well kept and they treated my fur baby, Bear so well. I know this because he was so excited when I picked him up with his tail wagging. To me that told me he was happy and felt great afterwards, because that's how he is when we bathe him at home. But being a 1 1/2 year old Cane Corso, he's a little much to bathe ourselves, so I'm extremely glad I found Paws Place Grooming and we will definitely be back. read more

I am extremely disappointed with my recent experience at Paws Place Grooming. I brought my lab in for grooming on Friday 5/22/26. By Monday 5/25/26, I noticed a red spot on his right hip area. Due to Memorial Day weekend, I had to wait until today, Tuesday 5/26/26, to bring him into the vet to be seen. What I initially thought was a small irritated red spot turned into a widespread infection across his entire back requiring shaving, medication, and additional follow-up visits and expenses. The vet diagnosed him with an infection consistent with a staph infection that was likely caused by moisture being trapped against the skin, likely from not being dried properly at our Friday grooming visit. After shaving nearly his entire back, seeing the extent of the infection was shocking! I reached out to the groomer to make them aware of the situation and to discuss getting help with the vet expenses and refunding the grooming fee. Unfortunately, Stacy, was extremely unprofessional and rude during the conversation, she refused to offer any financial assistance towards the vet expenses that I have now incurred, while also repeatedly stating that NO SKIN CONDITION WAS SEEN DURING THE GROOMING VISIT, which only further validates that the infection wasn't there prior, she ultimately hung up on me. Stacy tried to say it would take weeks for an infection like this to appear, however that is false. Dogs can get extensive involvement within 2-5 days. The lesions are very inflamed and superficial, rather than old and scarred. The widespread redness with the small, raised bumps and irritated skin can absolutely develop over just a few days if moisture is trapped under a dense coat. Furthermore, if this infection had been present on Friday prior to the grooming visit, it definitely would have been seen. In addition to this review, I will be filing a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau along with filing a claim in small court for a full reimbursement. Pet owners deserve to know my experience and to use caution before trusting their animals to be groomed here. read more

I called and got an appointment the next day. I told them I wanted my schnauzer shaved all around but to give her the puppy cut on her face and questioned if it was really a schnauzer because she doesn't look like one? So first impression already was off. They said they would call me when she was ready for pick up but it was close to closing time so I called them and asked if she was ready they told me 20 more minutes. They do have wash stations available and specials for different days of the week. I picked up my dog and her cut was okay. They didn't give her the puppy cut on her face. read more

This place is awesome. They truly thought of everything! I chose to do the self-serve bath it's $18 except on Tuesdays and Sundays. It's only 12. That's an awesome special! Next time, I'll definitely choose to go on those days! The tubs are large and clean. They give you aprons to be able to wash your dog as well as gloves to scrub them. There's pre-wash special tear free shampoo for their face shampoo and conditioner, as well as ear cleaning. They truly thought of it all in my dog came out, sparkling, clean, and a happy good boy. Staff was super helpful with any of my questions. There was also stairs to get in and out of the tub for my large dog, as well as for me to step on to get the other side of him. I highly recommend if you're looking for a do it yourself dog wash! read more

From the moment we walked in to when we walked out, everyone was helpful and so nice. They explained the steps in the self dog wash area to us. I was thankful for the walk through...lo Thank you! read more

I've taken my dog here for mail trimming. They always made it quick, easy, and painless.

I've gone here 2-3x and the ladies do not disappoint. They take good care of my baby. He looks fresh and clean after the spa!! I recommend!

I was referred to Stacey by a friend, and I couldn't be happier with her service! She is sweet and kind to my dogs, both of which are rescues and have some "quirks." I have been taking Callie and Basil to see her for their grooming since last year and have always had a positive and wonderful experience. She is prompt about getting back to me when I want to schedule an appt and is very flexible with my schedule. I just took the pups in for their "summer cut" and they look so cute I had to post a review with their pics. Thanks Stacey for all you do! read more

I was very nervous to bring my Maine Coon anywhere to be groomed for the first time, but Paws Place did an amazing job! I was so happy to see how calm my cat was when I came in for him and they were finishing up. They trimmed off the perfect amount and shaved his behind area where he needed it most. I was concerned it wouldn't look good since my cat has so much fur, but you can't even tell he was shaved unless you look for it! I will definitely be coming back and will take my second cat as well, once he's a little older. Would definitely recommend Paws Place to everyone! read more

This is by far the best grooming establishment I have ever been to! Amazing work and very affordable work done!

Not so sure I'll be back. Location is a good one but believe the recent reviews with low stars. It's been several days since I brought in my large dog for a nail trim, and I'm still a little upset and disappointed. I came in on a Sunday mid morning and the lot was empty and no one really around so I approached the door and noticed a note in all caps stating they were slammed today and don't call to check on your pet. Well call you..... I've pet sat for YEARS and I wouldn't dare tell an owner not to call no matter how busy I was. In that instant I knew I wouldn't bring her back for a bath. -50.00+. Once inside a young lady asked how she could help. I said I'd hoped to get her nails trimmed. She took my dog back immediately and I was upset when the handler opened the door to the back of the salon to walk in, she nearly let the door hit my dog when they walked back. My dog was noticeably nervous from the loud dryers, she'd never really been around that. I would've appreciated some kinder manners from the staff. I am glad I didn't go in the back I'm sure I wouldn't have liked they way they handled her. NOW. I'm no sissy and I have logical consequences for my dog. She is not spoiled like most. Nail trim was 5.00. Good pricing and easy in and out. When I saw the good reviews and the nice store front on yelp (they've since moved HERE). I was gonna maybe shop a bit since they seemed to have a nice little shop and I love supporting small businesses. This one however lost my sale of maybe 20-30.00 more dollars since their new storefront was unwelcoming, cluttered and had no flow. Overall they lost me as a repeat customer even before I walked in AND on the UPSALE of toys or cute things I knew my dog would love. Their wasn't much to choose from. I wouldn't take your beloved here. read more

We love the groomers here. They're always nice and helpful. I took my Gabriel in for a bath and trimming. The lady who took him knew exactly what I wanted done without asking me.
