Oh Paws

Rama is triggered by the words clip, cut, nails. If you look at his feet to long he will run away and hide in the closet. Sedation drugs do nothing. Recently his nails had gotten so long he was licking his paws raw. I raised this dog on a strong bond and foundation of trust. As he has grown we have struggled more and more to keep his nails under control. Pushing him myself was violating his trust in our relationship. I took Rama into see mark expecting to pass him off and maybe get one paw finished. I left with a dog who’s nails were touching the ground. During the process mark had a calm and confident approach. He observed Ramas comfort level and responded with respect. When Rama got upset or struggled. Very calmly mark would let Rama have his experience and remind him nothing was going to hurt him. Mark truly meet Rama where he was at and it is absolutely the reason we were able to leave there with all nails trimmed. Easily the most stress free nail trim of our lives and it feels like we can start working towards a life where Ramas is more comfortable getting his needs meet. THANK YOU to everyone at oh paws. The work y'all are doing is making such a difference in the life’s of this cities k9 population.

Mark and Sydney are SIMPLY THE BEST!! My Chihuahua Nina experienced trauma from nail clippings as a pup and was so aggressive about nail trimmings that no groomer in town would take her and we were banned from 2 places because of her aggressive behavior. Mark was so patient and worked with us on a regiment of monthly trimmings that were slow, cautious and very gentle until Nina became accustom to the experience. Now she’s a pro at hanging out, fully relaxed in the grooming sling and allows either Mark or Sydney to trim all 4 paws in pure comfort and with no bad reaction. Don’t even pause - just book with Oh Paws!! (Ha! I did NOT just write that!! 😝) Seriously, they are amazing!! Thank you Mark and Sydney!!

My vet recommended Oh Paws to me after several failed nail trim attempts with them and I am so happy they did! Sydney did such an amazing job with my pup! I used to dread nail trims but they truly make it a painless experience.... my sassy pup was calm the entire time and looked adorable in the little sling 🙂 I was truly shocked. 10/10 would recommend!!

Took are easily spooked (sometimes crazy) chiweenie rescue who absolutely hates any sort of tool to Mark and he was fantastic. You can tell how much experience that he has. We were surprised that he was able to trim every single nail on our very first visit! Thank you, Mark! 1000% recommend.

I highly, HIGHLY recommend bringing your pets here. I was anxious to bring in my dog Melvin because he was long overdue for a trim, but Mark made me feel at ease immediately. He even explained how I can inexpensively recreate their setup at home so that I won’t need to pay for a trim every time my dogs need it. Sydney was so patient and welcoming and went above and beyond to give expert care to Melvin. Can’t wait to return next week for Melvin’s sister’s appointment.

My yorkie-poo absolutely hates grooming, and we’ve even had other groomers refuse service in the past—so I was pretty skeptical going in. But Oh Paws completely exceeded my expectations. To my surprise (and relief!), Sydney was able to trim his nails and clean up his paw pads with no issues at all. She was incredibly patient and calm, even when he got a little aggressive, and still managed to get everything done in about 20 minutes. I also really appreciated that they allowed us to stay with him during the appointment—it made a huge difference in keeping his anxiety down. Overall, it was such a positive experience, and we’ll definitely be bringing our pup back in about a month. 10/10, highly recommend!

Mark is amazing! I have a very difficult dog who doesn't let anyone do her nails, but he got it done! It really is a miracle! He was very patient and calm and got my dog through it. He didn't give up! Thank you so much! I am very grateful. We will be back soon! ☺️
