Our salon

A caring, family-run salon

Claws & Paws is a neighborhood grooming salon for dogs. Many of our clients have been coming for years, and we get to know each dog — their coat, their quirks, and how they like to be handled.

Our approach

Grooming at your dog's pace

Gentle handling

Calm voices, patient hands, and breaks whenever your dog needs one.

We ask first

We never change a style without checking with you — we'll call if anything comes up.

Unhurried appointments

Every dog gets the time they need, never rushed through.

Walk-ins welcome

Stop by when you can — we'll fit you in whenever space allows.

Kind words

From our clients

“I've been taking my dog, Sally, to this place for many years, and I can tell that the staff truly love her and take great care of her. The owner, the lady, always makes sure Sally is doing well. She pays attention to every little detail while grooming her, and I really appreciate how much care she puts into it. I highly recommend this place!”

“I can honestly say I have never found a groomer that treats my dog the way I treat my dog. My boy is so excited every time he goes and comes out just the same. They never do anything without asking me when I drop him off and even give me a call to ask for permission in case they want to do something different. Another plus is my dog smells AMAZING for way longer than expected! If I could give 10 stars I definitely would. So happy I found this spot when I did!”
