What Reviews Say

235 reviews analyzed

Paw Commons Encinitas is highly regarded for its professional grooming and transformative training programs, with specific staff members like Zayra and Dani receiving consistent praise. While the facility is noted for being clean and offering reassuring webcam access, some customers are frustrated by an 'a la carte' pricing model that leads to unexpected costs at checkout. A few serious incidents regarding medication and grooming injuries exist, but the majority of clients report happy, well-exercised dogs and appreciate the staff's accommodating nature during emergencies.
