I recently adopted a new little ball of fluff - so I have been frequenting this place quite a bit…read moreas of late. First and foremost, this is where I bring my little Milli for her grooming - she had her first one this week! Michelle groomed my little Zoey's hair for over 15 years and when Michelle left another location and moved here - you can bet I didn't hesitate to follow her. She is truly amazing - patient, kind, and so VERY GOOD at what she does. This place also has a wide array of pet food, treats, and other various supplies. I have found that the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful when I'm looking for products. And, they also remember and recognize you and your pet(s) - even the ones that aren't yours that you show up with on occasion! Lastly, they are just dog people here! They have openly told me that it's totally okay to bring my pup here on those cold days when it's not safe outside - and to just walk her around the store for exercise - no purchase necessary. It's things like that that keep you coming back.

I'm fully convinced The Dog Wash Etc. team healed my pup's nail trim trauma!…read more A little backstory: years ago, I used to bribe and singlehandedly wrangle my shepherd rescue mutt -- Layla -- in order to trim her nails at home. It was never an easy task to tackle alone. After about 4 years, I tragically hit the quick of one of her black nails. Fast forward to now 8-year-old, 65-lb Layla, who still won't let me near her with clippers. I've had to outsource the torturous task to her vet and groomers since that fateful day. Once she associates a place with nail trims, though, she resists entry and tries to find the nearest exit. The Dog Wash Etc. has proven to be a rare exception to this rule, which is a testament to the positive experiences we've had there. Evie skillfully handled and warmly gained Layla's trust during our first visit and again several weeks later (bonus: the trim kept Layla's pawdicure needs at bay much longer than usual) It doesn't hurt that the Pets on Point store has cookies (and a whole shop full of goodies) for a post-trim treat. Punch card rewards or not, Evie and the Dog Wash team have earned our loyalty. I am eager to try the actual dog washes next... although Layla is as enthusiastic about baths as she is about nail trims!

She doesn't like loud noises, she is afraid of dogs but loves cats, and grooming has never been a "fun" experience for her. That being said, moving to Portland, I was very nervous to find a new groomer, but Port does a great job with her. They are caring, and they get grooming over with quickly and effectively. Her haircuts have never looked so good, and she comes home smelling fresh and clean. They genuinely run a sound family business, and I am glad to bring my dog here. One note--they book out months in advance. I have the next few appointments for my dog already scheduled. I recommend planning ahead!

I stopped in here on a whim since I live nearby and after one visit I am hooked. We had our springer spaniel get a hygiene trim and a paw trim and after chatting about deshedding our Chihuahua got a deshedding bath and a nail trim. When I tell you that our Chi turns into a Tasmanian devil during nail trims, I am truly understating it. The only person so far who could successfully trim his nails is a friend who is a former zoo keeper and used to trim bear's nails. UNTIL SoPo PAWS!! They bathed him and trimmed his nails and he just gave his groomer kisses the whole time. It was not only wonderful for my dogs to have such a positive experience, but it was so refreshing to me to be in a business where people obviously WANT to work there and take pride in their work. I could not recommend this business more.

We checked them out because entrusting both my home and my four legged kid to just anyone wasn't a option. Yes, they really are bonded and yes, unlike other services, these folks come with years of professional experience. This was important to us. They work with our schedule, are reliable, there's never an unexpected substitute: just the same reliable person. The rates hit the sweet spot for us also and come in a few bucks less than most of the other services in town. This was a score for us and I'd suggest giving them a try. You won't be sorry.

Ali took the time to come and meet my dog and get to know her before her first scheduled visit. Ali was great with her and immediately I could tell this was someone I could trust to be in my home and take great care of my dog. I LOVE the PetCheck system she uses too- she scans in and out (with a barcoded magnet) so I know when she is there, and she also sends an update email for the visit, including pictures! I HIGHLY recommend Tails and Trails. Her prices are really reasonable, especially for the quality of care and peace of mind.

She was so kind and patient with Ember, who always came out looking absolutely beautiful, that we only ever wanted to work with her. The pace at PetSmart was fairly frenetic, but Danielle was always cool, calm, and collected. I worried that she might leave one day after becoming the head groomer, and was lucky enough to get her to share her contact info with me. We reconnected and Ember just had her first grooming at the Soggy Dog. We couldn't possibly be happier! We are absolutely over the moon to be back in Danielle's caring hands In this lovely spot. They're incredibly well set up for self bathing, and all of their services are top notch!! THRILLED to have found them, and especially that Danielle is here!!
