Good to know
A pet spa with 40-plus years of combined grooming experience, run by owner Terri, who has groomed dogs for over 20 years. Dogs are never cage dried, and the groomers take socialization breaks for dogs who need them. Every visit includes a therapeutic water massage at bath time. Double-coated breeds are not shaved.
Cats are groomed in a quiet area away from the dogs and dried in an enclosed cat drying system. Guinea pigs can get baths, and rabbits and other small pets get nail trims.
Dog appointments run Tuesday to Friday during the day, with none after 5:00pm. Saturday spots are mostly for bath and brush; Saturday haircuts fill months ahead and are best rebooked at your visit. Texting is the fastest way to book; include your pet's breed, age, weight and the service you need.
The spa also runs two mobile grooming vans for select west-side areas, for dogs under 30 lbs. All dogs need proof of current rabies vaccination.

Between grooms
The basics for the weeks in between. Picked by PawsRx, not recommended by Pet Spa Paws & Play.

Cat brushes
Long-haired cats mat first behind the ears, under the legs and on the belly. Short, frequent sessions tend to go better than one long one.
