Pet Grooming

Q: Do you require an appointment?

To keep wait times as short as possible, we do require appointments for grooming and bathing.

Q: Can you give my dog a specific haircut or style?

Our stylists are experienced in providing many kinds of haircuts from breed-specific classics to custom styles.

Q: What kinds of products do you use?

We only use high quality shampoos and conditioners designed for use with pets. We offer a line of specialty formulas including deep conditioning, hypoallergenic, coat whitening, and many others.

Q: Can you groom my puppy?

Yes, we’d love to introduce your puppy to grooming. We believe it’s important to bring your dog for their first grooming appointment early in life so they can get accustomed to the sights, sounds, and handling of the salon.

Q: Can my dog get a bath while they’re visiting for lodging or daycare?

Absolutely, we’d love to send your furry friend home sparkling and fresh. Just let us know ahead of time so we can book their appointment at the salon.

Customer Experiences

The people who work at Paws are the most amazing, giving and loving employees. My dogs cannot wait to get there for daycare. And when I pick them up at the end of the day, I am greeted by friendly, nice and informative Paws employees, and by my very happy dogs!! I drive from Avon to Cheshire to utilize Paws. There are many choices much closer to my home, but I’ll gladly do the drive to stay at Paws!! Keep up the amazing job you do! Bravo!!

Absolutely exceptional love and care for our fur babies from Paws and the entire staff. We were hesitant and anxious on leaving our furbies for the first time, however put to ease as the stay days progressed. Very good and clear communication regarding our pups and their stay. Would highly recommend this extended family as an option for your fur baby. With appreciation on behalf of Penelope, Max and Italy

Excellent care for our puppy! The playtime pictures that were texted to us during her stay kept our minds at ease. She had a great visit and she was just as happy when we picked her up as she was when we dropped her off! We have used them in the past with other dogs and they were awesome then too. I wouldn’t trust anyone else, the staff truly loves and cares the dogs!

Harlow has been going to Paws since she was 6mo old. She will be 10 next month. While I worked she went 2-3x a week. Now she still goes when we go on vacation. As soon as we turn in the parking lot she howls. She gets so excited! It’s such a comfort knowing she loves it and she’s in good hands! I love when they send a pic of her playing while I’m away. I know she’s happy.

First time daycare here for our dogs and it was the best experience for all of us! The resort was so nice and inviting and the staff were super nice. We felt good leaving them and the best part was the pictures of their day. We were visiting from FL and only wish we had a resort like this to bring them to on a regular basis. This place is phenomenal and highly recommended!! Thank you for taking such great care of our pups to enjoy their play date!

— Diana Flynn

Every time we even mention Paws, our dogs get so excited and can’t wait to stay there. The staff are phenomenal and I never have any doubt that my two fur babies will be well taken care of at Paws. They’re always exhausted from the constant attention and playtimes they get. We truly love this facility and everyone who works there! Thank you so much for giving us the peace of mind that our pups are more than okay when we are not around! We will continue to use Paws time and time again!
