Everyone here is so friendly and they handle my dog with care and love which makes me feel at ease when I leave her. Drop off and pick up is seemless, very well organized and they do a great job at grooming my Bailey - she always comes out looking pretty, smelling awesome and a happy pup. Ashley, the owner, is just a wonderful human which is a plus.

I wish I could give above 5 stars! Ashley we are so thankful for the care and compassion you provide our nervous Cockerpoo, Playdoh.

Ashley is awesome you can tell her passion is dogs. And everyone she works with Olivia and Kiera are very talented groomers. Out of many salons I have been to myself this is best salon. I see so many dogs including my own. Leaving so happy and looking even better.

Claws N Paws of CC is simply the BEST paws down. Ashley runs her business like so many should... She cares, loves, gives her ALL to every client. I have two toy poodles, they come out looking like super models every time...and with little smiles and tail wiggles. Quick note...Ashley's family also helps out at the business to make it EVEN better. It's just a very special place like ONLY you'd get in "old school " Cape Cod
