When a colleague needed to board their cats in an emergency situation, Emily came to the rescue. She was incredibly helpful, and gave us concise information and support. I would not hesitate to trust the care of my pets to her and The Spaw!

We found our dog's second home! I trust Carrie and her team with my dog's life and Carrie has personally helped my dog's skin and gut issues. It was a journey but we stuck through it! She is very knowledgeable about breeds and breed specific foods. The Spaw is very clean, parking is easy, it is an open play floor so the dogs are free to mingle, and the dog's playroom is always being sanitized. They groom at location as well! I'm not kidding when I say this is my dog's second home. Grade A staff too.

Love this place! They take care of my baby all the time! They make sure I like the length and follow all our recommendations and preferences for the haircut! Whitney honestly gave above and beyond customer service over the phone. I love this place so much I would never take my baby anywhere else to get taken care of!

This place is a cut above all the rest impeccably clean the nicest people so well organized I've not had good experiences at many many places in the past and now that I found the spa I think it's the greatest place I've ever had my hair on my dog groomed by. I love, especially how they groom the stomach of my dog so neat and so perfectly cut around her private parts she stays so clean and also the way they cut around her mouth. The haircut lasts really nicely for a month or longer and we are joking in my house that the way they do her tummy is The Spaw-zillian!!

The Spaw is a gem! Everyone here is great and the groomers do an awesome job. I trust that my little one will be well cared for while he’s at The Spaw. Shout out to Whitney for always being so awesome, and to Jamie who did our Kronic’s cut this last time and did a great job :))

I think I found my new dog boarding/ daycare center. I used to go to another local doggy daycare and they are great! The center got popular and there were too many dogs so I decided to find another place (not crowded by any means- just wanted a smaller number of dogs). I found the Spaw on Yelp, called them, and attended the mandatory orientation. I personally thought an orientation just meant a few minutes to tour the area. It was actually quite a long presentation by the owner, Carrie. I personally knew this was the right place with 1. How long the orientation was (definitely an impatient person would not attend or stay for the entire duration- this weeds out potential short-fused dog owners *not saying this is always true, but there can be some translation of this. And you know dogs' temperaments often mirror their owners*) and 2. Carrie really has her logistics down to a T. I can tell she is a Type A personality like me. With how she limits the number of pets and also the weight, I also know that she is proficient in running a successful business- not focusing on growing too fast, which is a detriment to many small businesses. Needless to say, if an owner spends hours to orient new clients, this says a lot. Obviously there is a high client-base and this place has been running for over 2 decades from the original owner so things must be running smoothly. Will update after first board/ daycare/ meet and greet. Thought I'd leave a good initial impression review.

I brought my 2 pups in for grooming finally. They did a great job, I know my dogs are very scared and hopefully they grow to enjoy being groomed. They were so clean and soft after. Will use the spaw again! They also have cat boarding across the street at the jungle that I use. I love Carrie she's the best!

We are SO HAPPY we found this place. We have used them a couple of times so far and the staff are amazing, friendly, caring, and understanding. The cat facility is awesome and not a cage in sight. Each cat gets their own mini room with a full length window n panel on the door, so they feel safe but can see what's going on. The jungle themed room is really cool and I feel so comfortable bringing my cats here. Thank you!!

This place is absolutely amazing and has been such a game changer for our puppy! We decided to put him here for daycare a few days a week so he wouldn't be home alone and he absolutely loves it!!!!! Not only has it socialized him but they are so great with him and its so convenient because you can get your puppy groomed too while he's there for the day and they do such a great job!! We really feel it's helping mold our pup into being a really great dog and we are so grateful to have found this gem of a spot!! Everyone here is so nice too and the owner is so knowledgeable in the care and nutrition of animals. I highly recommend!!!

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!

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!
