My 14.5-year-old dog has gone here most of her life for grooming. Things recently took a disappointing turn. We've always had her rabies vaccines administered by a vet (NC law requires a vet for rabies) and self-administer the others by buying them at Tractor Supply (legal in NC). Suddenly this is a problem, and now they won't see her unless we take her to the vet, get all of her shots done again, and take the shot record to them.

They cited state law as the reason even though it only applies to rabies, which we're on board with. - As a private business, I fully respect your right to implement a policy of your choice, but don't blame the state for your decision. - You've seen my dog for nearly 14.5 years. have we been breaking the law this entire time? Why will PETCO and any other groomer see my pet and only ask about rabies?

The NCDA's veterinary division website only reference rabies vaccine as a requirement for shelters. If you're like most people who take your dog to a vet for all of their shots then this review may not matter to you. For us, my wife has found another groomer we'll use going forward. Disappointing, but such is life.

The new office lady answering the phone that replaced the nice man we used to deal with is about to lose a lot of business because of her attitude and general rudeness. She treated us like strangers and shunned us and cancelled appt that was already made and kept days prior before his actual time for vaccinations were even due. Then upon trying to get it worked out was just all or nothing. Thought we found our place but guess I'll be switching now!

They are the worst dog cleaning service I've ever experienced. The place stinks and is really old looking. I picked my dog up from a bath with a de shedding treatment included for extra cost, I kid you not he smelled the same as before and he shedded IMMEDIATELY after getting into my car. The people were nonchalant and lifeless. If I could give a 0 star I could.

Everyone here is very nice and we trust them with our pets. The live Web cams let's us see our dogs are doing well. Their boarding prices are much lower as compared to other places considering for what they do for your pets during their stay with them. I have recommended them to many people. John J

My boy Geordi loves to go to daycare, he gets really excited when he knows where we are going. Since he is a large breed Bernese Mountain Dog I have to be conscientious of the heat, but I have no worries with Purrfect Paws. During the summer he gets outside breaks, but will spend most of his time indoors where it's temperature controlled. They are always watching and rearranging rooms if needed to accommodate your dogs needs, feelings, etc. I will always go here for his Grooming. They always do a fantastic job for a reasonable price. Purrfect Paws is my trusted place for my dog.
