The Dog Pawlor

After trying multiple other places we went to Dog Pawlor with our aggressive poodle mix and they were fantastic! We’ve haven’t found a place that can do a full cut since we adopted him since he’s so bitey but Alex handled him perfectly and he came out looking great. He was able to cut away his mats and clean up his face and give him a perfect summer cut and a fresh start for his fur maintenance. Would definitely recommend to anyone with a spicy dog like us.

I don't know what happened to my dog here but I can guarantee with 99.9999% certainty that she was abused. She has never had an issue, always incredibly friendly, happy to be brushed at home etc. She's almost 6 years old and not a single aggressive behavior. We came here almost 7 weeks ago now and my dog is extremely aggressive if I go near her with the brush. It makes me sad to think about that they possibly did to her.

A great friend recommended The Dog Pawlor to me for my dogs! And Wow! When I pick them up, our dogs are happy and look so incredibly well taken care off and clean and fresh. We appreciate the people there so much! Thank you for taking care of my dogs!

I've been a dog trainer for 6 years, previously working at a boarding/daycare facility with a grooming salon. I've never witnessed such an awful groom and extreme post stress from It. Apollo is a service dog in training and has been my client for months, with his owners maintaining his appearance well. I know they comb him twice a day, as confirmed during a groom check-in two days ago. In this groom check in I personally combed him without struggle. I also was aware of his ear infection and owners were actively treating It. Since the groom he is shaking his head 5x more. Today's training plan was adjusted due to his stress, likely requiring additional sessions to rebuild his grooming confidence. As a young service dog in training, this experience will have a negative impact. I'm surprised that a refund wasn't immediately offered for the hack job poor Apollo received. If a client's needs exceed your current skill set, it's advisable to redirect them to someone better skilled for the groom. Picture 1 was from his previous groom. Picture 2 was just days ago. The rest of the pictures are from today’s groom.

We had the best experience at the Dog Pawlor! Our wild-haired pooch came out looking like a perfectly cleaned-up little gentleman. He was so soft, too. Two thumbs up!

I have a difficult dog who in the past has had a bite history, and I have had an extremely difficult time finding a good place to get him groomed that will work with me. This place was lovely. I came from Redwood City to try to get my dog groomed here and they did a great job. He kept the muzzle on, so I just trimmed his face a bit when I got him home, but he is clean and happy and he looks so so handsome. **Highly recommend if you have a dog, who’s difficult like mine or have had issues finding a good groomer in the past.

We've been bringing our Havanese, Cali, here for 11 years! Ken is the best groomer hands down. We started her here as a puppy and we wouldn't trust anyone else with our dog. She always comes home smelling amazing and with a cute bandana!
