    My poor Zebel
    Mana N.

    We've been taking our Cavaliers here for over 10 years, we lost our girl over the summer but have continued going there for my boy Zebel. Yesterday was an absolutely horrific experience. The groomer lied to my dad and said "Zebel was sleepy today", and called us an hour before they usually do telling us he's ready. When we picked him up Zebel's left eye was visibly irritated and he was squinting. We figured maybe some shampoo has gotten in there and tended to it and home with some artificial tears and warm compress. Today he woke up much much worse so we took him to the vet who after examining him said his eye is ulcerated by something sharp, likely a comb. He was completely fine prior to his grooming. Honestly what I really don't appreciate is the "sleepy" comment, if this groomer would have been honest and told us that something slipped after all these years of great service we would have forgiven it. But I will not be gaslit or lied to. He wasn't sleepy, he was squinting because his eye just got stabbed. P.S WE'RE A FAMILY OF DOCTORS don't insult our intelligence. We tip our groomers 30-40 dollars a treatment, and even if we didn't, no one deserves to have their dog be traumatized and lied to about it. I will be reaching out to Petsmart to pay for our vet bill and we will not be bringing our precious boy back here ever again. All I hope is that his eye is not damaged permanently.

    My husband and I brought in our frenchie for her first grooming experience with Dante & she came out amazing!! I was a little nervous with this being her first time but the whole team made us feel comfortable and everyone was very friendly! Will for sure be bringing MJ back to see her new friends again :)

    Nicked my dogs ear and didn't tell me. Discovered it at home and had to call to complain.

    GROOMING REVIEW: To be fair, I don't expect 5/5 service from ANY PetSmart grooming. I expect decent service for the price to groom my 2 year old goldendoodle. Bath, brush, trim, done. I'm a graduate student so I look for an affordable price but I also am sure to throughly check my dog's demeanor and body when he's returned to me for any negative changes or discrepancies. I moved near this location and all 3 times I've scheduled a service have been bad experiences. Reasons? 1st visit: I scheduled a 7 am appointment so I can drop him off before work. They didn't open up until 7:20, which caused me to be late. Did I complain? No, because I still needed my dog groomed and I want him to be treated well when I'm gone. But I definitely was not happy. The cut was okay upon pick up. Their system was down for payment online but the payment showed it was pending via my bank app. I let them know and they stated they'd let the manager know to call me for follow up. I also asked for a nail grind, which very clearly didn't happen. Never called so I ultimately never paid... even after several attempts to pay online and speak to the manager via phone, post appt. 2nd: I scheduled the same time, hoping it was just a fluke situation but yet again, late 15 minutes. I was still polite and I asked for a teddy bear face shape. The apprentice, named Beyoncé, completely butchered his cut... when I mentioned the lack of teddy vibes and the weird staggered fur on his ears they gaslit me (I don't use the term loosely) into believing that is what I'd asked for. I got home and looked at old photos of my dog with the cut I requested and realized I had definitely gotten played. I knew it before but I didn't want to argue with them. HOWEVER, I called to speak to the manager after noticing blood on my dogs ear. They cut him. Accidents happen but they didn't inform me of it. The manager waived payment. 3rd: Today, I attempted to give them a shot again at 7 am. Not my first choice but the other local locations didn't have any appointments that fit my schedule before our weekend trip. Chose a different groomer and planned to talk to them about my worries from the last experience before leaving my dog there. But I showed up at 7:15am considering they were not open the last two times. When I walked in, they canceled my appointment. :( Okay, so THIS time you were on time but now it's cancelled? Yikes. They were rude and dismissive about my complaint that they had been late the previous two times I had shown up. I can't wait around, using my paid time off from work. Luckily, I had to go drop my dog off at home before coming to work so I didn't have time to politely tell them how trash they are. Taking this as a sign to never return to this location. Totally my fault for trying to go back after they injured my pup.

    The response of a STORE MANAGER from Tustin Marketplace.

    Don't EVER consider leaving your dog here at their dog hotels. I made the mistake of doing so after leaving my 4 month old puppy here when last minute I was told that what I had reserved which was a suite they didn't have. Instead they locked up my 4 month old puppy in a cage and even though I was told they check on him they didn't care he smelled like urine. I was advised the staff who work here have knowledge of pets, yet they failed to recognize that my puppy couldn't hold his pee in a cage. When I complaint via email I received no response. I had to escalate to social media. Then the STORE MANAGER advised me how they offer baths, a solution to wash off the neglect from what my puppy went through. Also, to come back for my puppy to be neglected again and the solution would be to blame the whole experience on one person. I have a feedback for your store manager possibly take a customer service seminar. Hope this helps anyone else who consider this place or you can read the recent bad reviews they've received on BBB. (They don't offer cameras so you can't watch your dog to see if they've been walked.)

My 54 lb Jindo does not do well with strangers, she is all bark but no bite. I was very anxious bringing her to any dog care but Wendy was willing to do an assessment prior to their stay. This was my very first time doing any sort of dog care so I was really worried about leaving them. They did really well and my other dog had so much fun (he's a social butterfly). The main reason I chose this place vs all the other dog boarding is because they offer a "home" living experience rather than a facility/warehouse. My dogs always freely roams the house and lays on our bed, couch, wherever they please so I wanted something similar and Wendy's house provided that. I couldn't bare the thought of them being kept in a narrow sleeping quarter locked throughout the day. Thank you for taking great care of my babies! This place will definitely be my go-to for any future dog boarding.

From the moment we dropped them off, the entire experience put us completely at ease. We received constant updates, photos, and messages from Wendy and Madison, letting us know how they were doing, which meant so much to us and made being away from them so much easier. It was clear they were genuinely cared for, loved, and treated like family the entire time they were there. Seeing Jax and Frank happy, comfortable, and well taken care of gave us so much peace of mind. You can truly tell OC Paw House cares deeply about the animals they watch. We are beyond grateful for the care they gave our boys and will absolutely be using them again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive place for their dogs!

Dave helped us with methods on how to help handle Knox's excitement when new people come into the house and to keep him calm when he sees dogs on walks and some things in-between, providing step-by-step instructions for ways we can work with him to get him to those calm places. We really liked his approach and the kindness he showed our dogs.

The facility is incredibly clean, well-maintained, and surprisingly odor-free.

They also separate large dogs from small dogs, which made me feel much more comfortable knowing my dog was playing in a safe environment with dogs of similar size. The staff are friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. They genuinely care about the dogs and make sure each one receives plenty of attention and care. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for--which is the best review any boarding facility can receive.

The facility itself is very well equipped, with more than 100 rooms. They also have separate isolation rooms in case a dog gets sick, which helps prevent illnesses from spreading to other dogs. I thought that was a huge plus. All new dogs are required to provide vaccination records, and they also do about a 20-minute temperament assessment before joining. Based on each dog's personality, they arrange suitable playgroups instead of just mixing all the dogs together. The staff are also very professional and attentive. They keep daily records of each dog's eating habits and bathroom activity, which really gives owners extra peace of mind. Overall, it feels like a very responsible and well-organized place for dogs.
