Good to know
Puppy Fades is a dog grooming salon in Pasadena and a social enterprise of Homeboy Industries. The team is made up of people who have come through Homeboy's training and support, and every appointment helps create those jobs. All of the groomers are certified dog groomers, trained by West Coast Grooming Academy.
They take poodles and doodles, wire-coated breeds, puppies and elderly dogs, and offer custom hair dye, hand stripping, de-shedding, flea baths, breed-standard trims and itch and odor relief. Express appointments are kennel-free and run one-on-one.
An up-to-date rabies vaccination is required. They also recommend keeping bordetella, parvo, distemper, leptospirosis and canine influenza current.
The salon is open all year except New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
