    Doodle owners must sprint to sham-paws for their pups perfect cut! Our previous groomer closed and I'm so grateful to have taken my fur baby to Sham-Paws. They were all so kind, attentive to my specific doodle cut request and everyone genuinely looks happy there! The owner, Kim, is so sweet and I love that this is women owned and operated!

    Want to give a big shout out to my groomer, Aimee, and the owner, Kim. My Great Pyrenees, Loulou B., is a large double coated girl. Aimee does an incredible job and Loulou loves her. The facility is very clean, has great amenities and products. I am so grateful for this facility and the owner, Kim, who is a super nice, caring person who loves dogs. Cannot say enough about Aimee! Please check out both the facility and my all time favorite groomer, Aimee! Loulou goes in looking like a Yeti, dirty, stinky and comes out like Cinderella at the ball...... Always grateful, Leslie

    After a chaotic beach day filled with wet dogs, sandy paws, and lots of seagull chases, my Giant Schnauzer needed a bath 911. My brother had told me about this place down the street from my house called Sham-Paws. So I figured I'd try it out. This place did not disappoint! I've been going here now for about a year, and still love it! Enter Kim--owner, dog whisperer, and possibly a saint. She always greets Duke like he's royalty and makes us feel right at home, even when Duke is being extra vocal, if you know what I mean... When she first met him, he was recovering from having his ears cropped, and she was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable about the healing process--offering tips, being extra gentle, and making sure he was comfortable. The place itself is super clean, organized, and stocked with everything you need--shampoos, conditioners, brushes, towels, dryers, treats, and good vibes. Now here's where I was really impressed: this past Sunday; while we were there, a small dog broke the number one rule mid haircut and actually bit Kim--like, drew blood--and she handled it like an absolute pro. No panic, no yelling, no frustration. She just calmly tended to her wound and continued working with the dog like it never happened. Total class act. Kim's energy is unmatched. She's attentive, kind, and clearly passionate about dogs--whether they're gentle giants like Duke or tiny savages like that grey one that chomped her finger. The tubs? Elevated and back-friendly. The dryers? Surprisingly quiet. The whole setup? Basically a canine car wash, but fancy. So yeah--Duke is clean, and I'm a happy customer. If you're in or near Placentia and your dog needs a spa day (or just smells like Seaworld), Sham-Pas is the move.

    Well. The words Awesome or Incredible do not do this place justice. We took our One year old Male Leonberger Oliver here because he loves to swim in Lake Mead day after day. He smelled Musty. We tried everything and two other groomers. We came in with him so they could see and smell our little buddy. He Stunk. We spoke with the owner. She was great. She took the time to talk with us about Ollie. We made an appointment with her for the following Monday. It is now almost a week later. SHE DID IT. THE SMELL IS GONE!!!!! I cannot wait to go back Oliver looks and smells great. I highly recommend this place we will Never go anywhere else. Thank you sooo. Much. Scott & Julie.

    Airmie (100lbs.) got the full grooming service for about $110-120. Bandana pictured is not the one they provided.

    This spot has a special place in my heart. Kim has seen my first German shepherd before he passed and his brother (photo attached). I usually get the full grooming service done but have tried the self serve dog wash tubs as well. The staff were so helpful as I had no idea what I was doing with the equipment/soaps (it was my first time). They provide all the materials you could need (tub, soaps, conditioners, towels, and a dryer). I also trust their shampoos to be good for sensitive skin/itchiness. With the full grooming service as well, my dog comes back smelling so good and looking cute with a new bandanna. They get really busy so book in advance!

    We had a wonderful experience with the team at sham-paws today! We brought our 105 pound chocolate lab mix in for the first time. Kathy was amazing with our anxious girl, trimmed her nails and trimmed her fur between her toes. They were kind and walked us through all the amenities. We also left with a new brush that works wonders on our dog's coat. We will be back!

    Great job grooming my super fidgety 17 year old Maltese. Really appreciate their patience and flexibility!

    Easy peasy, we have a 75 pound Bernedoodle and it's the only way to bathe him. It's easy the tubs are spacious, they provide all of the shampoo for eye protection, and whole body, as well as conditioner. Dryers are great and there is always someone there to support you if you need anything.

    Krista J.

    Incredible staff! I wouldn't go anywhere else with my dog! I use the self wash service and the tubs are always clean and I love the products supplied. Highly recommend!

    Thank you so much to Nicole and Kim! My mini Goldendoodle looks sooo cute after her grooming appointment. They're amazing and gave me great tips on how to take care of her coat. Thank you!

    Trinity & Chris

    Really happy to find this place! We have a few puppies and we've had mobile groomers come out and taken to our vet for nail clippings etc and they never came back with clipped nails nor smelled like they had baths. You guys took great care of our pups and they smelled so good and were so clean. We really appreciate the great service and we will be coming back often. Thanks so much!

    Ask the Community - Sham-Paws Self Serve Dog Wash

    Do you grind dog nails (instead of cutting)? If yes, how much do you charge?

    We dremel nails as a walk in service for 10.00. As long as your dog isn’t aggressive towards us

    Looking for a new groomer, how much is it for a full bath, paw pad trimming, and nail trim for a 52lb German shepherd if we don't do self wash?

    Without seeing your dog - our full service baths include glands, nails , ear care , deshed , paw pads - no hidden fees unless he is an aggressive dog and needs to come when other dogs aren’t there - my estimation 95 -105. Self was is 25 and with… 

    Is there a price list? I just want to see if self serve would save us money.

    The price depends on the size/weight of the dog and all Husky’s are 25. We start at 15 for under 20 pounds then 20 then 25 . You use all of the same products we use on full service. Also pit bulls, boxers and English bulldogs get charged 20… 

    Do groomers cut nails?

    Yes 10 dollars

    Can I give my dog a hair cut with my own hair razor at the self wash station?

    I am sorry but my coverage will not allow customers to cut dogs, therefore absolutely not. We have groomers on staff for a fee or you can take the dog home and groom yourself there after a bath. Thank you for asking before you came and we let you… 

    Do you need to bring your own towels?

    Nope, they suppy everything also a water proof apron so you don't get wet.

    Do the tubs have ramps up to them? I don't like to lift my dog.

    Yes every tub has a ramp

    Do I have to bring an updated vaccine record to use the self service dog wash?

    Nope!

We stopped taking him after…read morethe last visit we had because the groomer recommended getting our dog use to people touching his hand. Nothing wrong with telling us that, because that's just what we did! We wanted him to be desensitized before he came back. The few times I brought him in, all the experiences were good! So much so I'd gush over how good he looked after grooming and how he looked well taken care of. He'd come home happy and maybe take a little nap. So, I decided to bring him in again recently. Same service as before, nothing different. The most I waited for my dog before was 3 hours (but I was given a heads up by the groomer that they were busier the day he waited for 3 hours, so not an issue at all). My dog was there for about 6 hours. I dropped him off in the late morning and he's wasn't ready until the later in the afternoon. I called to check in after a few hours, but was told her was in rotation to be finished soon... No one gave me a heads up about it maybe taking a while when I dropped him off. When my dog finally was able to come home, he was super dehydrated, immediately needed to use the restroom and was just lethargic overall (never an occurrence in any previous visit at this groomer or at any of the other previous grooming locations my dog has gone to). The stars given are only because of the positive experiences I had BEFORE the most recent one because I genuinely enjoyed bringing my dog here and this would've been a 5 star place for me. But based off my recent experience, it was not a 5 star service. I didn't recognize anyone there, (granted it had been a little while since we had last brought him in), so I'm not sure if they have new staff. However, I unfortunately don't want to put my dog through something like this most recent experience again.

Juno is dog-reactive, which can sometimes come across as aggression, but anyone familiar with reactivity understands it's really about overstimulation, limited socialization, and the need for patient, one-on-one care. Because of this, I haven't been able to take her to a traditional groomer. I happened to see their mobile truck while on a walk and asked about pricing for my reactive shepherd. Ricardo was very understanding, gave me a reasonable quote, and was even able to fit us in right after his first appointment. From the start, he was calm, patient, and gentle. He let me stay nearby to help Juno feel more comfortable, which I really appreciated. She was timid at first, but he took his time earning her trust and worked at her pace. When it came to the dryer, he introduced it carefully and explained that he didn't want to push her too far or undo the trust he had built even if that meant she wouldn't be fully dry. That meant a lot to me. It's clear that Ricardo has experience with dogs like Juno and truly understands the patience and care they need. Both Ricardo and Paco were communicative, kind, and made sure Juno's first mobile grooming experience was as stress-free as possible. I'm so grateful to find people who genuinely understand that some pups just need a little extra reassurance and compassion. Thank you both for taking such great care of my Juney!

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.
