Paw Prints

I'm writing a review for Paw Prints on 2117 Williamsbridge Rd, Bronx, NY, so if this page is referring to another business, I do apologize for my misplaced review. My dog was dropped off on Saturday morning (8/20) for a short trim, which should have taken a reasonably short amount of time (2-2.5 hrs). My stepdad frequently checked back to see his progress but was told that my dog wasn't ready because he was figidy and was biting a little. The total amount of time my dog spent there was about 7 hours; he didn't return until early evening. Also, when we got him back, he had not received a short trim but was unevenly cut and appeared shaved in many places, and had a red patch near his right eye. Clearly, we were upset. Upon further inspection at home, we saw a flea on his skin and had to immediately bathe him and apply flea and tick medication (luckily, it seemed he only had two bugs on him). EIther one of two things happened: if my dog did in fact have fleas going into the place, a well-trained groomer would have identified the problem and told us about it, or my dog acquired fleas from other dogs in the establishment, which is also a day care center for pets. If my dog was so fussy that they couldn't perform a proper cut, the groomer would have known that from the initial assessment. My dog has been to one other groomer before coming to Paw Prints and I didn't receive any complaints from him. While my dog is fussy and doesn't like his face to be touched, he is also handled by guests in my apartment and considered friendly. I feel that there was either no groomer on duty that day, or the groomer they hired for that day was very untrained. The long wait and horrible haircut were enough of an annoyance, but finding the fleas on my dog was the final straw. It's not just a matter of a refund, but a proper explanation of what happened to our fuzzy little family member.

My name is Brenda, I have 2 small dogs, kisses and Junior, I looked in the yellow pages for a Doggie Day Care,due to being extremely particular as to leaving my doggies, I have to say I am more than pleased leaving them with Camile the owner and worker at Paw Prints. What attracted me to Paw Prints is when I took kisses and Junior and saw how wonderful Camile is with all the doggies in her day care, I saw how she pays special attention to all the doggies. And the response which came from them. How happy and content they all were. Also I have to say this camile walks feeds etc. them all everyday she does have a few people working for her but it appears to me she does most of the caring for herself and also seems Camile enjoys every minute of it. Most of the other daycares, the owner didnt intermingle with the doggies they had workers for that, but here I see this owner working and enjoying all the pets. And this is what attracted me to Paw Prints. So I know now when I go to work or go on vacation I am very satisfied and content to leave kisses and junior. I also have to say my babies are happy when I pick them up from Pawprints, and to me that tells it all. when my doggies are happy I am too. Thank You Paw Prints for all your Love kisses junior and Brenda

Paw Prints is a great place for your precious pet. The staff is great. They maintain great communication with me regarding my pet and treat her like if she was her own. Paw Prints even provides transportation as needed, it can't get any better than that. I recommend Paw Prints to all.

Paw Prints is a great and loving place for your pet. My dog Pebbles suffers from separation anxiety and it came to a point that I did not know what to do. I would come home from work and my place would be destroyed. She is my best friend and I love her too much to find her a new home. So that's when I decided to find a pet sitter. After searching for a few weeks I found Paw Prints. I meet with the young lady who runs the place and explained my situation. It's been 4 months since Pebbles has been under her care and we both can't be happier. She is taken on several walks a day, is taken to the dog run and spends time with her canine friends, which I have gotten to know by name. Paw Prints guide me with her nutritional needs and put her on a schedule. Also, her anxiety has decreased a lot.

Thank You Paw Prints for making my life easier and giving Pebbles a home a way from home.

This is a great business. They really care a lot and take personal pride in taking care of other's animals as if they were their own.
