Paws Common is hands down one of the best dog grooming, boarding and daycare facilities we’ve worked with. All the staff are super friendly, welcoming and very helpful. Our pup Loki goes to daycare once a month and grooming with Ms Dani! She does such a phenomenal job with our fur baby. Loki was a rescue and had a lot of insecurities when we first got him so him trusting anyone took a lot and Ms Dani worked wonders with him and is a constant figure he knows and trusts! You can clearly see from the care, love and the job done just how much she loves her job and how much of an asset she is to Paws Common! I’ve recommended this facility dozens of times with people who are looking for new groomers or boarding. We have been members of Paws Common for 4yrs now and will continue to be life long clients! The facility is always clean and well presented. We had a long summer vacation for 3 weeks one year and never hesitated twice about leaving Loki in the caring hands of Paws staff at Encinitas. We love the webcam feature because it always allowed us to check in on him and we received weekly reposts on how he was doing on his behavior and feeding! If you haven’t given Paws Encinitas a go please do you will not regret your experience.

Kristen’s Puppy Social class has been one of the best investments we’ve made for our rescue puppy, Frankie.\n\nAfter Frankie wasn’t quite ready for daycare because she needed more positive socialization with other puppies, Paw Commons recommended Kristen’s class. It turned out to be exactly what she needed.\n\nLike many rescue puppies, we don’t know what Frankie’s early life was like. Watching her gradually come out of her shell over the past several weeks has been incredibly rewarding.\n\nKristen creates a safe, structured environment where puppies build confidence, learn appropriate social skills, enjoy enrichment activities and simply get to be puppies. Her years of experience are evident in the way she understands puppy behavior and thoughtfully guides each session.\n\nSeeing Frankie’s confidence grow week after week has brought us so much joy. She now looks forward to Saturdays, and so do we.\n\nI especially recommend Puppy Social for rescue puppies. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, patient facilitator who truly understands puppy development, Kristen is exceptional. Thank you for giving Frankie such a positive start.

After bringing my dog for grooming for years today I pick up a bloody pup. The groomer shaved his ears so close that they are bleeding. When I called to inquire as to what happened and what I should do I was told he was too matted and I should take him to the vet.\nSpoke to Alicia the manager. She told me I signed a release years ago that said they could shave my dog. When asked why I didn’t get a phone call prior to this she had no answer. And no resolve.\n\nDon’t bring your dog here!!!!

This place is great. Super friendly staff who truly care about your dog. Very attentive and communicative with how your dog is doing, especially during pet boarding. I feel very comfortable with having my pup here, bonus being she loved to go! Highly recommend.

Took our fur baby, Chewey, to Paw\nCommons for daycare for a few hours to go to Del Mar for a horse race. We're from out of town and I forgot to make arrangements in advance. I was so happy Paw Commons was able to accommodate our same day request. They are a life saver for us!! Thank you Paw Commons!!
