Reviews

Overall, customers are overwhelmingly satisfied with the grooming service at Pawtology, highlighting the warm and loving atmosphere created by Ece and her team. Many reviews emphasize the genuine affection the staff have for the dogs, with pets appearing happy and well-cared for during their visits. The team is praised for their patience, especially with anxious or senior dogs, addressing specific grooming needs while ensuring a calming experience. However, there was one negative review regarding a specific grooming mishap and perceived lack of accountability, which contrasted with the generally positive feedback about service quality and customer care.

Ece and her team are amazing people. I am not sure if there is another grooming store where dogs are this happy. You can see this love not only in my own dog but in every dog ​​that comes to the shop, they come in running with joy and their joy is unbelievable. They give attention to dogs like babies. I thank them wholeheartedly for all this attention and 5 star quality service 👏✨️🙏🫶💗☺️

I’ve been taking my dogs to Pawtology for 4-5 years and they always provide warm and welcoming service. They are extremely patient with my anxious pups, one of which is 18 and has special needs. Highly recommend.

Pawtology has been amazing! The team is not only warm and friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable about grooming questions and concerns for our Havanese puppy. They always ensure my pup feels comfortable and well-cared for. I highly recommend their services!

Our bernedoodle loves going here because the staff are incredibly loving, kind, friendly (to dogs and humans alike), and are great at what they do. As helicopter dog owners, we are comfortable dropping her off for all of her grooming needs because we know she’s properly being taken care of, showered with love, her cuts always turn out great, and she smells amazing! We wouldn’t take her anywhere else. As a bonus, their products are also priced well. Thanks, Pawtolody for always taking great care of Maya!

I've been coming here since they opened and I can't say enough great things about Pawtology. They have a genuine love for animals and really treat my dogs like family. One of my dogs is a senior and is a little spicy when getting her nails trimmed. They are so calm and patient with her! They go slow and give her treats and she just relaxes. The shop is hands down the best place to find unique, fun, dog toys and leashes. All of their treats and food are very high quality and I know I can trust the brand if I find it in their store. Thank you for keeping our pups happy, Pawtology!

I have gone to Pawtology numerous times. Recently, I was very disappointed in the services provided by Pawtology as they were clearly overbooked and seemed to rush through my dog’s haircut hacking her beautiful eyelashes off. I specifically made a request to the owner for, “my pet’s eyelashes to not be groomed.” This has never been a problem before, and they agreed they would not be touched as that’s the grooming standard. When I arrived to pick up my dog, I was shocked when I realized they in fact cut her eyelashes off, which took the entirety of her life to grow. I brought this to the owner’s attention and they explained that, “your dog moves a lot when being groomed and due to that there was an accidental trimming of her lashes completely.” It was my pet’s fault… I have never had this issue with communication and a business owner understanding the customer’s wants. I was appalled with how my dog was blamed, and simply wanted an apology. Instead I was charged the full price $120 + $10 matting fee and sent on my way.

I have been taking my baby girl, Heidi, to Pawtology grooming for a few years now. They are simply the best. She comes from them absolutely adorable and she loves everyone in there. Pawtology team knows all their dogs and their parents. Them being so personal makes it a great experience. I can’t say enough good things about them. We highly recommend them.

They are the BEST✨ We have been coming Pawtology since we adopted our boy. Pawtology deserves all the praise; their sincere affection for animals shines through, and they truly treat my boy as part of their own family🙏 We're so delighted to have them, and my daughter (5) thoroughly enjoys visiting Pawtology, exploring the space, and interacting with the dogs. Thank you so much for everything Ece💖 We love you✨

Frequently Asked Questions About Cat Grooming

What should I expect during a professional cat grooming session?

A typical professional cat grooming session usually begins with a consultation to discuss your cat's needs. The groomer will then examine your cat's coat and skin condition before proceeding with services like brushing to remove loose fur, bathing with cat-specific shampoo, blow-drying, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and any specialized haircuts if needed. Most sessions take between 1-2 hours depending on your cat's coat condition and temperament.

How should I prepare my cat for a grooming appointment?

To prepare your cat for grooming, brush them at home a few days before to remove loose fur and minor tangles. Keep your cat in a secure carrier for transportation. Arrive a few minutes early to complete paperwork and allow your cat time to adjust to the new environment. Bring information about your cat's health, temperament, and any areas they're sensitive about. For anxious cats, consider withholding food for 2-3 hours before the appointment to reduce the risk of stress-related nausea.

Why is professional cat grooming important?

Professional cat grooming is important for several reasons: it reduces shedding and hairballs, prevents painful matting, allows early detection of skin issues or parasites, keeps your cat's coat healthy and shiny, reduces dander (helpful for allergy sufferers), and maintains proper hygiene. Professional groomers have specialized tools, products, and techniques to safely handle cats, even those with behavioral challenges. Regular grooming also helps cats become more comfortable with handling, which is beneficial for veterinary visits.

How often should my cat be professionally groomed?

The frequency of professional grooming depends on your cat's coat type, length, and lifestyle. Long-haired breeds like Persians typically need grooming every 4-6 weeks to prevent matting. Medium-haired cats may need grooming every 6-8 weeks, while short-haired cats might only need professional attention every 8-12 weeks or during seasonal shedding periods. Cats with special conditions like obesity or arthritis that prevent self-grooming may need more frequent appointments. Your groomer can recommend an appropriate schedule based on your cat's specific needs.

What's the difference between cat and dog grooming?

Cat grooming differs significantly from dog grooming. Cats have more sensitive skin, requiring gentler handling and cat-specific products. Their grooming sessions are typically shorter to minimize stress. Cats often need specialized restraint techniques and quieter environments. Cat groomers use different tools designed for feline coats and are trained to recognize signs of stress unique to cats. Cat-only grooming facilities eliminate the anxiety many cats experience around dogs, creating a more comfortable experience for your feline friend.
