Paws in the Bath

I’ve taken my pug Tyson to many groomers but since the first time we went to Paws we haven’t been anywhere else. They are great with Tyson and are always accommodating since with our busy schedules I usually call last minute for an appointment. We usually get the full package with the special shedding shampoo and it is worth every penny.

Very sorry to move from the area. Have taken Heather (Golden) for 3 years… but winter has arrived… and we’re in snow country now!
Our vet (THE BEST… Aurora Animal Clinic) recommended «Paws in the Bath» for our first kid in fur in 2012. Duffer (an Irish wolfhound/​shepherd mix) was 14 + years, 70 lbs, arthritic and nearing the end of his life (2013). My husband and I took Duffer thinking we would bath him ourselves because of the need to be so gentle. The staff quickly came to Duffer’s aid. They did EVERYTHING possible to make bath and grooming quick, gentle and thorough.
Heather loves going here. She gets to play indoors and out with all the friendly dogs and staff. She comes home clean, deshedded and because of the staffs’ recommendations, without dry skin. They groom her as directed.
HEATHER & I highly recommend Paws in the Bath.

This is my first review on Unilocal,so I hope they don’t deem it useless. I’m keen on starting to contribute to people being informed, so here goes.
I took my dog to Paws in the Bath in Aurora a couple weeks ago for a bath. I was going to do self serve but thought I’d give their professional grooming a try.
Here are the pros and cons.
Pro:
1. The place seemed very clean and new.
2. Easy to book appointments.
3. Ample parking and good location.
4. Some cute accessories and products for sale
5. Offers pick-​up and drop off (I didn’t use this service)
Cons:
1.They only groomed the dog’s back. His chest, face and tail shedded profusely for a week afterwards, while his back was squeaky clean and shed-​free (He’s a rough-​coated short haired shepherd). His nails were also not trimmed.
2. On the new client questionaire, they asked if the dog was vaccinated, but never asked for proof. This is the thing that keeps me from going back, even for self-​service. I love my dog, so his safety and well-​being comes first.
3. The dogs were all left together after grooming. No aggressive dogs that I saw, but I would at least appreciate being asked for consent.
Going forward it’s unlikely I’d go back. I will try out other groomers in the area (there seems to be quite a few) to see if they are more dilgent with their services.
Thanks!
