Paws 'n' Claws of Vernal is so awesome, I could hardly find the words to express how truly…read morewonderful they are, but I'll try. So, here goes. My husband and I had to work overseas for several months in 2017 and needed to find someone to look after our 2 cats that we were leaving behind. After looking up reviews in Facebook for Paws 'n' Claws, we decided to ask them to pet sit for us. The process was simple and very professional--Stan, the proprietor, came to the house to discuss the terms and to meet the cats, and then he prepared a contract to be signed. Days later, we left for our trip, secure in the thought that our pets were in good hands. We weren't disappointed--Paws 'n' Claws did their job well and even went above and beyond what was called for in the signed agreement. They took wonderful care of our little darlings-- made sure they were well-fed,well-groomed, and got attention, and took them to the vet when needed. When the rebellious boy cat-- Junior-- did unspeakable things to express his displeasure from being left behind by us-- his parents--- Stan did everything to remedy the situation, and when Junior got sick (he has a delicate constitution), Stan made sure he got his medication. When we asked him to, Stan arranged for someone to stay overnight for a month to monitor Junior's progress and to provide both cats company. The other cat likes to go outside during the day which she got to do when the pet sitters came to the house. While overseas, we communicated regularly by phone and email with Stan who sent pictures of the cats and in the process, afforded us peace of mind while working in a foreign country while our pets were alone at home. Not only did Paws 'n' Claws care for our pets but took great care of our home as well. Stan made arrangements to have our yard mowed and watered regularly, and he even made sure the sprinkler system was turned off for the winter. After being gone for several months, we came home to happy and healthy pets and a clean, well-cared for home and yard. We can't thank Stan and Paws 'n' Claws enough for every thing they did for us and we highly them to anyone who requires extended pet-sitting. They are an honest, reliable, competent and truly professional outfit, whose presence in the home--it hardly needs mentioning---adds in no small measure--- to the home's security. For us, at least, the experience with them was like having a loving family watch our home and pets while were were away.

I was aware that my doodle had quite a bit of matting. I was prepared to cord him over a few weeks, but I wanted to see if he might brush out. I brought him in and said maybe if it's really bad we can trim him like a schnauzer...I received a call asking to shave him if need be and I said, " it is supposed to snow, please don't shave him". I was so upset when I saw him. He's even knicked to the skin in several places. It's only hair and it will grow back but it's so cold outside, when I brought him home he wouldn't stay out long enough to potty so he pottied inside my house. He's never done that. To add insult to injury, she left him with a shaved head and a fluffy tail. He looks absurd. Who shaves a dog to his skin. She looked at me like I was a terrible dog owner because she shaved most of his coat in one piece. It was like she thought she was doing my dog a favor(as if he were a rescue from the street in trouble). The nerve. I could have corded him without a problem. My poor dog is freezing. I have to find him a coat in the morning. I made a sarcastic remark about bringing my kommondor in and teaching the group how to cord, but quite frankly, that's not gonna happen. I'm mortified, my dog is freezing, and this groomer doesn't listen to the owner. Oh, she also had a handful of hair she raised up at me and stated, "This was from his balls." Who does that? She kept using the word balls over and over like it was the proper terminology - yuck. Just yuck. I will drive to Salt Lake next time - or do my own dog... she followed me out to my truck, saying she wanted an after photo, but it felt like she was looking to cover her buttor start something. I paid the bill, and out of habit, I tipped her. I was literally in shock. In hindsight, I should have refused or left no tip at all. A man passed us by on the way to our truck, he was.laughing it was so bad. Give your dog a chance by not taking a chance here.

I then was trying to be friendly and was about to tell her my name. She then interrupted me and told me "let's speed this along". Between being unprofessional and hurrying up the phone call so she "can finish dinner, because I call and interrupted her" makes me question if she really has time for my or anyone else's dogs. Let alone her own business. I definitely will not be taking my dogs there ever. I hope the others will think twice about it as well. Very disappointed.

What I want is for my dog to be safe, warm and well-fed. Yawning Dog provides all of that. My dog is able to socialize (without facebook!) with other dogs. At home she only has cats to run around with. At Yawning Dog, my dog gets to be a dog, part of a pack...she runs, jumps, chases...all things a dog needs to do. I don't expect Yawning Dog to be a doggy spa or a Four Seasons for Dogs, but I do expect them to care for my dog so I can travel for weeks at a time without worrying about her. I am highly satisfied!
