Pet Groomers in Warrenton

“We have a rescue, and those with a rescue dog understand the potential issues that come with them. Ours is nervous in new environments, fearful of loud noises and large objects, and anxious around strangers. But he's a totally normal playful happy puppy at home, around family, and once he gets to know the stranger. Unfortunately we sometimes go out of town and require boarding facilities. We tried another place in Warrenton, I won't name, but it claimed to be a suite for pets. Booked a 4 day stay and we're not sure what happened but our dog came back more nervous that he left. It took 2 weeks before he was back to himself. He also had what looked to be a callous on both front legs which he did not have when we dropped him off. His blanket also smelled of urine, which was totally strange because even with all his complexes he NEVER goes to the bathroom in the house. He'll whine and moan and stand by the door until we take him out. Needless to say we never went back there again. I tried another place in old town Haymarket. Were I was not given a tour of the facilities and grounds. Instead they took my dog in the back right away and let me watch his experience on the monitors at the front desk. But they didn't seem to know how to take care of a rescue like our dog. They took him in the back into the indoor play room and tried to integrate him into the pack way too soon. Not giving him time to acclimate. Instead of joining the pack he stayed with the young lady that brought him back there. Knowing my dog it would have been better to introduce him to one dog at a time instead of overwhelming him with a pack. Because he didn't immediately join the pack they told me he wasn't a good candidate. I think the young lady (teenager) was possibly inexperienced or wasn't trained well. Had she been, she would he have tried a different approach. Especially after I informed her of the best way for our dog to meet new people and dogs. Then we found Pawsawhile. We had the walk through and yes it's a converted house but the property is huge with large fenced outdoor play areas. We were shown the entire property and facility and in no time or Dog was playing with the nun that was showing us around. He was walking with her, coming to her when called, fetching the ball. And I love how she didn't force herself on him, she allowed him to come to her making a great connection with him. We've been using them for daycare 1 day a week so he can play with other dogs and boarding when we travel. Now Our dog will drag us into the building when he goes there, he seems so happy. When we drop him off he gladly goes with the handler and doesn't even look back at me to say goodbye, lol. I highly recommend PawsAWhile. Everyone we've come in contact with has been kind, and easy to talk to, and very responsive. The nuns are caring and informative and you can tell they love animals and from my experience take great care of your family Pet.“

“I brought my three fur babies here and the staffs were really nice. I was nervous to leave them since two of them get bad anxiety when they’re in an unfamiliar place but to my suprise, they all did really well. I’ll definitely be taking my babies here again. It’s a drive for me but it’s worth it.“

“Best in the area! The owner Leslie and her staff are great -- capable, friendly, reliable -- and my dogs look great. Best of all, the dogs seem to actually enjoy going there. Amazing! On the latest visit they perked up when I pulled into the parking area and seemed eager to go in for their grooming. Leslie is also a professional breeder, trainer, and show handler, so she really knows what dogs need and how to make them look their very best.“
