A friend highly recommended this new salon in the Olympic village by Mollie Stones, and we were not disappointed. Our rat terrier, Casey, is quite skittish of other dogs (and water), but Kristen was very gentle and kind, which put Casey at ease. She left the salon clean and happy! They did a GREAT job trimming her nails. From the moment we made the appoinment, they were professional, competent, and caring. I would highly recommend them. 08/25/08 I'll say it again - the Paw Spa Salon rules. I took my Rat Terrier, Casey, in for a full groom and she looks & smells terrific! This is the third time I've gone there, and Kirsten & Chris consistently achieves great results with gentleness. They do an excellent job on Casey's nails and paws. I've been to other groomers that either trims the nails too much or too little; here they trim them to the correct length. Also, they trim the hair between the pads on the paws - not all do. A few months ago, in between grooming appointments, I went in to ask them about preventing my dog from getting fleas in addition to applying Frontline. They were genuine in their caring and generous about giving me advice (using Cedar chips in the yard, etc.). Again, I would HIGHLY recommend them - Casey does too. Kate
