What Pawsitive Transfurmations says
In their own words, from pawsitivetransfurmations.com, read October 9, 2026.
- Calm, low-stress setting
We aim to create a relaxed environment, and want your dog to be comfortable and happy while in our care.
- Grooms doodles
As of January 2024, tiny/teacup type breeds start at $85, while full-sized doodles start at $150.
- Breed-standard cuts
Whether you want a breed trim or a crazy mohawk for your dog, book your appointment today !
- How long a groom takes
Duration varies depending on your dog, but generally we allot between 45-120 minutes for a bath dog, and 90-210 minutes for a full groom dog, depending on the pup's size and the complexity of the haircut.
- Vaccine records required
In accordance with Pennsylvania state law, we require all client dogs aged 16 weeks or older to have a valid rabies vaccination, and proof of such has to be presented before any services can be rendered.
Good to know
Starting prices assume a well-behaved dog in good coat on a six-week-or-shorter schedule; haircuts longer than 1.25 inches add a hand-scissoring fee, and PA sales tax is extra.
A full-service dog grooming salon founded in 2021 on Potomac Avenue in Dormont. Appointments are not rushed, dogs get breaks where needed, and the salon uses luxury products. It is now accepting new clients.
New clients fill in an intake form first, and existing clients book online. Everything is by appointment, with no walk-ins and usually no same-day openings. The salon is closed Sunday.
Pennsylvania law requires proof of rabies vaccination for dogs 16 weeks and older; a signed veterinary exemption letter or titer test is also accepted. Double coats are not shaved unless the dog has been shaved before, and a waiver is needed.
