Good to know
Doodles and other thick or double-coated breeds carry an extra fee; price also depends on temperament, coat length and condition, and intricate cuts cost more.
Max's Happy Paws is named for the owner's rescue dog from Tijuana. Owner Prescilla Cardena left the corporate world to groom dogs full time, and the salon welcomes every dog, purebred or scrappy rescue.
New clients leave their details through an inquiry form and get a call back within 24 to 48 hours to set the first appointment. The business runs two salons.
