Precious Paws

Precious Paws Grooming Salon

At Precious Paws we institute “gentle hands grooming techniques” as well as Massage, Hydrotherapy, and Aromatherapy – geared towards the mental and physical well being of all dogs entrusted to my care.
Older dogs may have Arthritis, lumps and bumps, etc.; so special care of their body and joints when grooming needs to be considered.
Puppies will need lots of patience to teach them that grooming can be a wonderful experience.
Whether it’s just a nail trim, ears cleaned, a bath, or a full groom, dogs will benefit if given a positive experience from the beginning.
Quality of products is important to me. Most contain 97% natural ingredients from the Dead Sea, and others from Sweden, which makes them great for your dogs skin and coat.
From the time your dog walks in the door until they leave with you, I will be the only person they see. I will bathe, blow dry, prep, and style your dog. Your dog will have potty and rest breaks when needed (especially older or sick dogs). I want my clients to feel at home and relaxed when they come.
One last note on their care - they are not put in a cage during their stay with me. One dog in the salon at a time.

I am a Certified Groomer and here to help owners with any information I can provide regarding the grooming and care of their pet.

Every Paw is a Precious Paw at my grooming salon.
