I have walked quite a few dogs as an off leash pack walker so I have seen the bad the good and the okay. One day, the Standard Schnauzer in my group, Solly, came back to the pack looking absolutely gorgeous. Solly is also one my tough guys thats not the easiest to handle if you don't know what you're doing. So I knew who ever did that job was not only talented at grooming but also knew how to handle dogs. The first thing I did after dropping him off was asking for the name of his groomer. This is how I found about Lesley at Pampered Paws. 10/10 Highly recommend!!
I am so glad I went with Pampered Paws for my grooming education! Lesley is the best teacher there is hands down! Very thorough, very detailed, and very informative. Not only does Lesley have a supreme background in grooming, but she is renowned as the Grandmother of Grooming!! This title definitely is true, and from the confidence I walked away with from being taught by Lesley, I can confidently say I would recommend anyone interested in getting into grooming or wanting to enhance your skills, to definitely head to Pampered Paws! :)

I strongly recommend choosing one of the many other establishments in the Mt. Pleasant area for you animal grooming needs.
I wanted to get my Golden Retriever's (Luna) nails cut, and figured I would call around to see if I needed an appointment. The two other places I called were all booked up, while Pampered Paws was totally open. (Should have been the 1st red flag)
The woman, (Leslie) seemed pleasant enough. After telling me that it would cost $28 to cut her nails, she brought me into the grooming area along with Luna (2nd red flag), where I had to basically assist her with the job at hand.
I had asked her if it would be possible to cut a couple of balled up fur areas behind her ears. I had to hold her ears while she did this. (3rd red flag)
Leslie was tremendously aggressive while cutting Lunas' nails, causing her to yelp repeatedly, which she blamed on the fact that her nails were "too long". I know for a fact that it will only hurt the animal if you cut the nail too short. She also attempted to yank her right leg underneath her stomach to cut those nails, apparently not understanding that animal limbs are not meant to bend that way. (4th, 5th, 6th....etc. red flags)
Leslie did not clean the fur from the paw, or smooth out the nails that she so carelessly just chopped.
The icing on the cake was the fact the she charged me an extra $10 for the 20 second trim behind the ears that she performed.
I greatly urge people in the Mt. Pleasant area to choose a different groomer for their loved animals. If there are no appointments available at another location....wait!! If she treated Luna this way while I was standing right there, I can only imagine how she must treat them behind closed doors.
My little Westie Bella was very fortunate to get a last minute appointment with Lesley today. What a difference an experienced professional groomer makes! My neighbors have all commented on how well Bella looks, and I can certainly see the difference. Highly recommend Pampered Paws.
