“I love this place! The groomers are all so friendly. They always do such a great job with my Aussiedoodle, Yeti. They took great care of him, and he looks like a totally different dog. We will always choose Southern Paws, again and again.”

“We’ve been taking our Shorkie to this grooming spa regularly for a number of years and always intend to. The owners and staff are sweet people, and the care and consideration they give every pet and owner is outstanding.”
D Joseph Years of trust★★★★★
“The staff was so friendly and inviting. They loved him from the moment he walked in, trimmed his nails, bathed him, and gave him a little bowtie after his appointment. We will for sure be coming back.”
