Before we found Spa and Stay, we tried so many different places to get our Maltese, Buddy, groomed. He’s the sweetest dog in the world, but he absolutely HATES baths! 😂🐶🛁 But the moment he hears he’s going to Spa and Stay, he couldn’t be more excited! ❤️ That alone tells you everything you need to know about how…

I can’t give Spaw and Stay enough praise! I’ve been a client for so long and my pup is always taken care of so well. I’ve had experiences with groomers in the past that left me very cautious about trying out a new place but ever since I first took my dog to Spaw and Stay, I’ve had nothing but great experiences and…

I have been bringing my two year old mini poodle here to Jess for a while now and each time is a great experience. The ladies that work here are very nice and never made me feel uneasy about bringing my baby here. Jess always does an amazing job as well with grooming. I recommend you bring your fur babies here if you’re looking for a new grooming salon!

I have been coming here since they 1st opened at their original location in sayreville. They do a wonderful job with my husky/aussie mix. I normally do a bath with deshedding and cleanup. Never have any complaints. Appointments are also pretty easy to get.
