Yesterday was my first visit to Paws Applause as I am a new resident to Scarborough. Prices were VERY fair and comparable to the bigger box stores. Also, the staff working were very friendly and their "house cat" Cheddar, was the cutest thing I had seen in a while. I will definitely be back!

Everyday I find more and more great places in Scarborough, so glad we decided to move to this area! I needed my kittens nails trimmed and my vet wasn't available, so I went onto Google and this place came up. Convenient location and great staff! I did the "walk in" option but Called ahead to make sure someone was there that could do cats. The owner/manager was super friendly and did a great job. She even showed me around the store after and recommended some yummy raw treats for the baby. Deff check this place out.

My wife and I bring our Golden Retriever Miley in for grooming all the time. The staff are very friendly and very helpful. They provide excellent prompt service and are very reasonably priced. They offer many great services and have excellent groomers that pay close attention to detail and we always have excellent results with Miley's grooming!

Jenna has been grooming my Tibetan for years. I have followed her to pause applause. I love that the fact owners actually work and run the store. The store is laid out beautifully. Neat, organized and very efficient. Really knowledgeable people as far as products and supplies go. But it was Jenna that got me here and I am so glad. As far as grooming goes, my dog has two coats of fur and I don't exactly keep him combed out. Jenna is so patient with Toby and does a five star job every time I bring him in. This is my second Tibetan. I have 30 plus years of owning a Tibetan. She is the best groomer I have ever had. Seriously.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I've been searching for a groomer who offers walk-in availability for nail trims, and paws applause is the first and only one I've found. Not only that, but the owners are wonderful AND their entire shop is centered around a more natural selection of products - really looking forward to more visits!

I'm always cautious about where I take my fur baby and try to research thoroughly before deciding who to trust. After having trouble finding anyone with availability, another groomer recommended this place and I'm glad she did! My dog had some pretty bad matting from lack of grooming during lockdown and covid reservations. It was bad. To the point that I was willing to put fear aside and take her somewhere. Scheduling was super easy and quick.

They got her right in. The shop is clean and well-kept. There is a ton of merchandise to look at and most of it is very reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and listened to my concerns. There's also this super friendly cat there, Cheddar, who is very sociable and loving. She's like a little shop bonus. They finished grooming my pup, who is a senior toy poodle, in just about an hour and a half.

When I picked her up she was shaved very short, but I was told this may be necessary. It wasn't so short that I was bothered by it and everything else was done just right. All in all, it's a great little place and we will be back again. If you need a safe place for your anxious or nervous fur baby, definitely consider Paws Applause!

Our puppy needed her nails trimmed and a trim around her eyes. The staff was very helpful and very knowledgeable about my puppies breed. ( she is a cocker spaniel) they were quick for the mail and face trim. The price was very reasonable. A great first experience for my puppy at the groomers. We will be going back! The store also has a great selection of pet toys and supplies.
