hi phyllis i tried to call you todsy to find your phone was temporarily disconneted i wanted to make an appoitment for nikki call me ir email me ar pjstan5754@gmail.com 617-7446396

Never again! Today was our 2d cat’s shaving with them and she cut cat’s belly second time! He is bleeding now… If I saw it there I even would not pay them! + I do not like the big woman there, she is so rude, I always ask her politely to cut more cat’s head and to make a lion tail, today she gave me such a horrible look that I felt really uncomfortable! AND (!) she made the cat’s tail absolutely bald!!! AND she cut cat’s whiskers!!! I’m speechless… Another woman seems much more intelligent and nicer with pets but she cuts the dogs only…

This place is amazing, I’ve been taking my cat here for ages. He has long hair & they’ve able to work out some tough tangles & usually give him a lions cut in like 20 mins. It can be hard to get in though cause these guys are busy, so you’ll want to make an appointment about a week in advance.

Paws and Claws did a nice job with my dog. It was our first time trying Paws and Claws since we had a bad experience with another groomer. We like to get him shaved down for the summer because he goes running and overheats. Glenna worked on him this time, and she seemed very sweet with my dog. She did what I asked her to do– shave him down, trim his ears, arm feathers, and tail. He’s a little shorter than we would have liked (he’s pink underneath and you can see his pinkness!), so we’re a little worried about a sunburn until his fur grows in a little. Thanks Paws and Claws! Our pup was happy when I picked him up and so are we. We’ll be back for another visit soon

I have been using Paws and Claws for almost 20 years. They have groomed two «generations» of my dogs (7 dogs over the years) and even one cat. Phyllis and Glenna are kind to my animals which is extremely important to me. My babies go in looking scraggly and come out beautiful (not to mention smelling much better). I highly recommend these gals. They are not tech savvy and don’t have a website but don’t let that deter you. It’s not a chain, it’s not fancy, it’s just excellent grooming at a reasonable price. Tell them Erika sent you.

Used to bring my cat here but don’t think I would bring any other cats here in the future.
I feel like they favored dogs over cats.
People would drop their dog off but I would want to stay with my cat since I traveled about 30 min. To go to this shop. Feel like they were annoyed at me wanting to stay while she was being worked on. Although, if she has an appt for 2pm wouldn’t her being worked on at that time be a reasonable assumption?
One woman seemed a little kinder than the other.

Run away from this place!!! Our dog is the most evenly tempered animal, and after I took him there, he came out with a limp that he didn’t have when I took him there. When I took him in, I noticed that both women were having their lunch with two dogs wet and shivering on tables, one of the women was telling the dogs to shut up. I SHOULD HAVE RUN AWAY!!! Do your homework, look at other groomers… there are better places than paws and claws!!!

We took our 7 y/​o rescue kitty Elliot to have his claws trimmed. He is neither a fan of having his paws touched or being held. In less time than it took us to get him into his carrier to bring to the shop, he nails were trimmed and he was back in his carrier ready to go home. This was the best $ 10 I ever spent. We will definitely be back.
Second visit today. If possible, even quicker and easier than the first.
I LOVE these ladies!

Paws and Claws did an awful job grooming my dog. The fur around his paws was hacked and looked terrible. They shaved his head instead of trimming it with scissors (as it should have been trimmed). When we got into the car, I found a tick in a prominent location that hadn’t been removed. A perfunctory once-​over should have caught this. Further, the entire grooming job took over four hours, and we had to wait an hour longer than the expected finish time. I will not be bringing my precious dog to Paws and Claws again. It is hard for me to look at my once-​handsome dog. It doesn’t help that he smells like cheap whore.

Phyllis is amazing. Both her and the other woman (Glenna, I believe) were very friendly and reassuring. My rescue Persian cat has FLUTD, a urinary condition where she gets painful (and expensive) flare-​ups that can be caused by stressful situations. Sweet Aslyn hat mats on her belly and her coat was just too much for me to handle. I knew it had to be shaved. I called and spoke to Phyllis who was familiar with FLUTD and assured me she would be gentle, calm, and quick with my kitty. She suggested I bring her in when there were no dogs being groomed to lower the stress level and was able to make an appointment for the very next day!
Grooming day arrived and Aslyn and I went to Paws and Claws. I didn’t have to wait at all and was able to stay and watch Phyllis do the grooming. Okay, I’m telling you the sweetest thing in the world until I try to get near her with a brush, clippers, nail clippers, etc. and then she is the devil! I warned Phyllis and she casually told me that it was a mama thing and she’d be just fine. Sure enough, she pulled Aslyn out of her carrier and gave her a nice rubbing under the chin and won Aslyn’s heart. I couldn’t believe that my cat just sat there, perfectly still, allowing Phyllis to groom her. Phyllis was so knowledgeable and knew exactly how to maneuver my cat to get the spots she needed. I also really liked that she talked to me and said sweet things to my cat and scratched and pet her throughout the whole grooming. The other lady even came by and gave Aslyn some loving. There were a couple of dogs in kennels around the grooming area, but if any of them made noise they were told «No barking when there’s a cat on the table!» and silenced quickly.
This place is a gem. They’re wonderful. I will be bringing my kitty back there. Plus the grooming was reasonably priced, allowing me to tip well, and she did an adorable style.

I was so impressed with the ladies at Paws and Claws! I have a toy poodle, who is so hard to groom I would have to pay hundreds of dollars to have him put to sleep and then shaved. He normally attacks groomers and has been turned away from a couple places before, so I had my doubts. But man was I impressed! They not only got me a next day appointment, but they where super friendly and were actually able to cut his hair!!! He looks great and they where so nice to my little guy! Plus it was only $ 60! Awesome place with Awesome staff, I will definantly be back!

I took my cat here to be groomed and they did a great job on her. I have taken her to other places that needed 2 – 3 people to hold her down but the groomer here handled her very well and she looked awesome when she was finished. The groomer was very experienced and did wonderful job on my kitty. I will def go back. (It is a bit more expensive than the place on Linden St but the groomers are far more experienced and know how to handle the animals)
