Paw Prints Salon

We love this place! Michelle does wonders on Cajeta and always leaves her looking so wonderful! We might have to to go to u. c but always worth it!

They are super awesome every time I go; my dog loves them and is so excited to go get her bath and play with all her little dog friends there. They are also a pitbull friendly place which is great.

I am sooooo glad I found this place. I had to write a review after I saw how much of a difference this hair cut was from the haircut my Havanese Bichon got from Bogies. The haircut from Bogies was choppy and something I could have done myself. At Paw Prints, they give an amazing grooming service for just $ 5 more than Bogies horrible service. They made my little Max look like a little prince. Plus, I loved that they don’t put the dogs in kennels. It made the experience fun and exciting for my dog so I didn’t spend my time waiting feeling bad for him.

Perfect place if you don’t like your dog waiting in a kennel. I have a dog who hates being in kennels and was searching for a free-​roaming place. THIS WAS IT! Until I found out she got fleas.
The ladies working there were so nice! They took the time to hear out what I wanted for my dog and did a good job grooming her. However, I had to take out a star because my dog got fleas :(Right when we got in the car I noticed 2 fleas on her head, and there were a couple more around her body.
I also took out another star because they forgot to call me when my dog was ready. I dropped her off at 11am and was waiting anxiously until I called at 4pm and they said she had been ready for over an hour, and she had been hiding so they forgot to call me. My dog was hiding scared next to a cabinet and no one bothered to notice or give me a call.
Overall, it’s a great place for dogs to socialize and they groom very well. However, I would be careful of fleas.

Let me start off by saying that it was a HUGE relief to find this place!
My Maltese-​Yorkie, who was 4 months at the time, was a little overdue for a grooming. Needless to say, she looked like a mop :(We were afraid to bring her to Petsmart and/​or Petco because we heard dogs leave with cuts afterwards. So I searched and searched for a great salon that was affordable and nearby. When I found Paw Prints, we were so excited: my mom immediately set up an appointment for the next day.
When we got to the salon, we were greeted by so many dogs. Four hours was more than enough time as well considering how many other dogs they had to tend to. The results were AMAZING, we didn’t even recognize her when we came to pick her up. They even mentioned she was a total sweetheart which was another sigh of relief. Her long mangy brown fur was now cut clean and almost white. We got to see her big brown eyes again! I almost lost it when they put a bow on her head.

I’ve been taking my dog here since he was a puppy and he is now 3 years old. The past two times I’ve taken him here, he’s came back with some nicks on him that later turns to scabs. I told the groomers to be more careful, and she told me that those red marks could be from knots in his fur. Knots don’t turn to scabs. He was obviously cut during his grooming. Makes me hesitant to take him back, especially since he’s been going here since he was 5 months.

We’ve been bringing out pomerian beagle here for about a year and love it. We come from San Leandro and have always had a good experience. When we firsr started getting our dog groomed we’d always get complaints that he was nippy when they cut his facial hair, and we warned Paw Prints the first time we came that he’s like that. He was returned to us with a cut face and no problem.
They are open floor salon, dogs get to roam free and I love that. They even tell us our pup is a pleasure and one of the more well behaved dogs there. Cant be my dog I say, but he seems to enjoy himself there with the other dogs. We also dont have to rush ro pick up our dog, they allow the dogs to hangout and since mine is so well behaved we were told not to rush at all and to even leave him.
We stick with Temaki, she does a great job and knows how to cut our dog. Worth every penny, and everyone is so nice and courteous with us.

Love them! They are always friendly and do really great with our cat Ricky. They are always willing to do a drop in nail trim. I never go anywhere else.

One word: AMAZING.
Right when we got in, we were greeted by cute doggies! :-)
I have a 4 month old Alaskan Malamute/​Siberian Husky mixed baby for a bath, brush, nails trim, & to get his ears cleaned and they did an excellent job! My dog is a BIG BABY so I knew he was gonna put up a fight but surprisingly, he got comfortable really fast and they said yeah, he was a baby but he wasn’t that bad, lol.
It took four hours but there were a bunch of dogs there too so I don’t think it was that bad.
All the dogs were nice and friendly so my dogs made some new friends!
They only charged me $ 35 since my dog is still a puppy.
Definitely gonna start bringing my dog here!

I would give them 5 stars, but I felt like 6 hours to cut a Maltipoo was unnecessary. The cut was great, my pup smelled wonderful (although he smelled like Victoria’s Secret ‘Love Spell’) it could be the other reviews I’ve read getting to my head. His fur was super soft and I feel like overall they did a really great job. Other than the very long time span it took for them to call us and tell us that he was ready, they did a really good job! Super friendly staff too! Would come back when my pup is due for a cut.

We have taken our dogs 3 times and our experience has only gotten worse each time.
The first visit was perfect. Our dogs were done on time and looked great!
Unfortunately, visits 2 and 3 sent our dogs home with, well, undesirable conditions. Our terrier had fleas on him and our pugador broke into a rash within a day or two.
The people here seem nice enough, but the results leave something to be desired.

Nina definitely went above & beyond this time with my dog! He’s never looked this good before and he’s always so difficult to work with, but Nina made it work and I love her for it. He looks like a completely new dog! Thanks again, Nina!

Nina gave my puppy Chloe her first hair cut. When I picked her up I was in shock she looked beautiful. She really did an amazing job. I also got a same day appointment which was a relief. Thank you Nina for making Chloe look gorgeous.

Asked not to cut too short and they completely shaved my dog… said she was matted. Used a razor and burned her skin. Horrible Horrible place. Second time they butchered our dog’s hair. My fault for taking her here. Be warned.

This place was AMAZING! First off they fit me in last minute… With a smile I might add
They made my poodles super sexxy again with top notch haircuts! T
Couldn’t be happier! hey were kind and friendly. Respectful to the other dogs and I’d say they knew pet behavior very good well. It’s lovely that the pups can be off leash or in a gated area so they are less stress out and don’t get overheated.
Thank you ladies!!!

They are getting much busy-​er these days! :(
I pray that their service doesn’t go down, and that their prices don’t keep going up.
I have been with my same groomer since she worked at Cynde’s Dog Do’s. Tomaki is THE BEST. (shhh, don’t tell too many people!) She works magic on my papillon, I am convinced, because Truffles can be such a bitch with strangers trying to touch/​groom her.
But after once or twice, my dog actually looks FORWARD to going to grooming. What is this madness. and not only does she come out looking great, but Tomaki will ask if you are satisfied before you leave. So nice.
I have found it especially helpful for clients to leave detailed notes of what exactly you want done. The first time when I didn’t, I was disappointed, but realized that it was partially my fault because I had my own checklist in mind for what I’d define as a great job.
Do NOT call the day of and expect an appointment. Try to get early appointments if you can, because they do start running late as the day goes on, AND the place gets more dirty. I respect the fact that they check each dog for fleas first, and obviously, if the dog has fleas, they call the owner right away & request to reschedule, to prevent any other dog in there from getting fleas.

We’ve been taking our dog, Loki, here for awhile now. They’re super nice and friendly. I feel safe leaving my dog with them and definitely trust that they are gentle and careful with him.
I recommend this place to anyone that has pets! You will not be disappointed :)

I really want to like this place and really hate posting a bad review. However, I came home to find both of my puppies cut. One of them has two cuts in her right ear and one cut on her belly, while the other puppy has a huge chunk of flesh cut our under his left elbow and a cut mm away from his eye (see pictures in photo section). Michelle was the groomer. I understand you were probably busy, but that does not mean I am paying you almost $ 150 to cut my babies. Please be more conscious and do not injure customers who are entrusting their babies with you for 4+ hours.

I really, really like this place. They are always friendly, but the most important thing for me is that they actually listen to what I want. When I said I wanted my dog to look like a puppy again, they actually did it, no questions asked.
They also have reasonable prices, and it’s nice because it doesn’t break the bank. I also appreciate the fact that the dogs are either free to roam around or are in huge fenced spaces. I am sure my dog who suffers from separation anxiety appreciates that quite a bit.

As much as I hate writing this place definitely needs a review!
I dropped my pup off today and came back to this little guy! He looks like a new pup. I wish I had taken a before (Well he’s the brown dog in the «before»). Poor little guy was matted and dirty, in need of some tlc. The girls at the shop where complete sweethearts. After reading some reviews from the previous day I was so scared of not know what hands he was in. But to my surprise they did an awesome job. I enjoyed the service and will definitely bring him. Thank you Paw Prints Salon!
