The Dog Pawlor San Jose, California

Stephanie used to groom my dog, but she left and they just don't seem to want to learn to groom poodles. The most I've paid for bad grooming. I gave them 2 chances.

Love this grooming shop! Great Groomers and very nice staff!

It's vet/doctors office for our pets.i am going try to get them to et me purchase her!!!

Professional service at a reasonable price. Our Cavalier King Charles had his first wash and trim there and we definitely will be back when his hair will grow long again.

I like taking my dog here to Stephanie, she is the best! She always does a great job grooming my little yorkie.. And my dog loves seeing her. I will always take my dog to the Dog Pawlor because I trust them with my dog.

I’ve been taking my husky here for years! Great service, great pricing, and my husky always looks gorgeous and furminated to perfection.

It was my first time taking our dog to the Dog Pawlor and they did not disappoint. We've got a very high energy 4lb Pom/Yorkie, who hates blow dryers. Rafael worked on her and did a great job. We'll definitely be bringing her back, as the team here was so friendly and top notch! Thank you from myself and Buttercup!

I've been taking my nervous chihuahua here for the past year and a half, and I couldn't be more satisfied. She is so wiggly when I try to clip her nails, and it's too stressful of an experience for me. The friendly, animal-loving staff at The Dog Pawlor work their magic and have her trimmed in less than 5 minutes. I don't know how they do it (okay, maybe it helps that they're trained professionals hahaha), but it is totally worth the $20. Very grateful for and happy to support this business ????????????

3 different Petco could not handle my nervous yorkie puppy to trim her nails. They told me I have to take her to a vet. I called the vet and several references later, I called The Dog Pawlor. Ken the owner took her in and her nails were done in 3 MINUTES! And she was CALM when she came back to me! Ken was terrific!!!!!

My Cream loves coming here! Owner and staff both professional and provide excellent service!!!!

Never ever again! Be careful as this place could be a danger for your dog! They cutted the the vibrissae of our dog! This is unacceptable! And if that is not bad enough: we asked for a short summer cut for our King Charles and got him back nacked! I mean, even the hairs in the face are longer than the body hairs now. We have never had a bad experience at a groomer like this!

Have been taking our dog here for about a year now and they have done an amazing job with her haircuts. She is a small (12lb) dog with a curly hair mix. Very friendly and responsive staff.

Really love the care and detail these folks provide for my dog Dash. In particular I love the extra details, like the Sharks banda they added during the hockey playoffs. I have regular appoints scheduled for Dash and would rate them a 6 if possible!

My dogs are happy there and Ken & his staff are calming providing a relaxed atmosphere for the dogs. They always look great when we leave!

I called to get a estimate of how much I can get my dog hair lightly cut and they wanna charge me almost 100 bucks.. that's too expensive!!

Unlike other local groomers, they're quick with appointments. One time I called and was taken that same day! They know how long each appointment will take, but still call when doggie is done. Plus, they perform an excellent job consistently. Which matters as, my old pup is fussy, yet they never have an issue. Finally, their pricing is more than competitive, it's cheaper that most. This spot is a true gem. So, even though it's a half hr drive for me, I'll go no where else. They're worth it. Tl;dr Treat yourself and your pup to a wonderful experience, go to The Dog Pawlor.

Very friendly. Due to very good job on my dog. Definitely will go back.

They did a wonderful job! Would highly recommend to everyone!

I took my dog here for the first time and they did an awesome job!! I was greeted by the cutest tiny dog apparently named Suki who belongs to one of the people there. They did a great job with listening to what I wanted and they didn't disappoint! I'm so happy with my dog's haircut and groom. We will definitely be back again!

My dog is scarred from having her nails clipped too deep the last two times I took her to another groomer. This place only uses Dremel for black nails, which made things quick and easy. I'm grateful for the great service and would recommend this place to anyone who has a dog with anxiety. Just give them a heads up beforehand. :-)

I have been coming to The Dog Pawlor since its opening. Let's just say that my dog isn't the easiest when it comes to grooming given his behavior. Yet the owner, Ken, worked hard to figure out a gentle and considerate way to groom him. He was patient and worked with us to come up with a plan to make my dog's visit as smooth as possible. Ken's approach is a sign of his character and love for dogs. Even though my dog can be a bit temperamental, Ken has always greeted him and I with great respect. Plus, my dog always comes away looking great! I can't recommend Ken and The Dog Pawlor more.

They do a great job!

The groomers are detailed oriented and super sweet to my dog. My dog has thin hair and not the easiest to groom. He's on the small side under 10 lbs. We have been completely satisfied with all of his haircuts.

This is a long review but the tl;dr version/bottom line is that Ken is amazing and you should definitely bring your pets here for quality service. I've brought my senior dog, Zoë, here since I first got her in 2016, and in these three years the service has consistently been outstanding. With all the horrible stories about groomers mistreating pets at the big stores like PetSmart and PetCo, I was anxious about taking my girl to any groomer. However, she would always fight me when I tried to brush my teeth or clip her nails, so I had to find a professional. I made an appointment at the Dog Pawlor, did the basic new client routine of filling out forms, and left my dog in their care. Ken took such great care of Zoë that we now bring her by just about every month. The quality of pet care, attention to detail, price, and customer service are incomparable. If you want your dog groomed in a safe and caring environment, the Dog Pawlor is the place to go. Sidenote: I've included pics of Zoë wearing the complimentary bandanas they gave her for different occasions whenever I bring her by near certain holidays (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Xmas).

Great place to get your dog groomed. Highly recommend!

Aka: Ken's Dog Grooming. We visit regularly for doggie nail trims. They make an effort to cut them short without harming our dogs. They finish the trimming with a polisher, so no jagged edges. Some visits, they don't cut the nails short enough, so 4 stars instead of 5.

Stephanie has been cutting my Giant Schnauzer since she was a puppy, and does a great job every time!

Friendly staff and great service. My corgi and my Labrador are both well looked after here.

Never been there before, i called on a whim to see if they could fit Rylie in and they were able to accomodate us. They were gentle with Rylie and understood to blow dry her gently. Rylie came out of her wash/dry mani/pedi one happy camper! AND the price was right too!

I just called to make an appointment for a puppy trim on my beautiful yorkie and the guy who answered the phone was so RUDE!! I never felt so disrespected ever in my whole entire life. he was such a prick an arrogant. RUDE RUDE RUDE. how do you expect to run a business when you are rude to your customers. Will never call here again. If you are rude to me I can only imagine how you treat our pets.
