The Spaw

My little Fifi is an old man and a rescue who had a terrible life before and hate being handled. I’ve been rejected by numerous groomers, or found him terribly upset and sometimes injured at the end of being groomed at different businesses. The Spaw is HANDSDOWN the best groomer in OC (trust me I’ve really been all over, even LA). They are kind, caring, gentle, and really have a way to calm Fifi down and get him properly washed and groomed. When I pick him up, although he’d still be grumpy, he’s visibly a lot happier than at other places and looks handsomely trimmed. The owner and all groomers here are incredibly caring and loving of the dogs they take care of, and I have never encountered any passive aggressiveness or slighting remarks from the staff. I have been going to the spaw for years now, and will definitely continue doing so!

We came from Vegas and we always bring this guy cause he needs, ALL of the supervisions! We wanted to do something with our kids while we were here and he couldn’t come. My husband didn’t understand why I chose “the spaw” over boarding him. He was concerned about the name and seeming a bit boujie. We went through the evaluation process (which was new to me) basically just making sure he got along with other dogs, filled out paper work and checked his vaccines. All was good and he stayed the day for doggy daycare. They had cameras up and I watched them with him a few times and left. When I came back I did the same and he was having the time of his life. They brought him out to me and my son and he was so happy but still wanted to interact with the workers. One of them asked my permission to give him treats which is huge for me as he has a LOT of food allergies. They even got him to sit! I was mind blown. I wish we lived here so he could come occasionally. I know he had so much fun. Thank you!

A bit expensive, but if you want quality care for your animals this is the place to go! I travel a lot for raves and music festivals, and this is my choice location to board my cats. One of my babies has some health issues that the staff have been extremely attentive to. Shout out to Elizabeth! She’s a cat lover through and through! ❤️

My Old English sheepdog (OES) was in dire Neff of a good bath, dematting, and haircut. The Spaw was very helpful, walking me through their offerings and pricing. When I dropped my dog off here was greeted warmly and taken back to check the place out. The staff kept in contact with me throughout the day, letting me know the progress of grooming and verifying how short I wanted the cut. When I went to pick him up he looked like a new dog.
