Full Service Dog Grooming
Our full-service grooming begins with a relaxing bath using your choice of premium shampoo tailored to your dog’s coat and skin needs. Your dog is gently towel-dried and hand-dried with a low-heat handheld dryer for comfort and safety. We also provide eye and ear cleaning, teeth brushing, nail clipping and/or grinding, and a thorough brush-out to keep the coat healthy and mat-free.
The service is finished with a customized haircut based on your dog’s breed standard or your personal style preference. Whether classic or custom, we ensure your dog leaves clean, comfortable, and beautifully groomed.
Full Service Cat Grooming
Our cat grooming service is designed with a calm, low-stress approach to ensure your feline feels safe and comfortable throughout the experience. Each appointment begins with a slow, gentle comb-out and a thorough skin and coat analysis to determine the best care plan. Your cat is then bathed with a carefully selected shampoo, followed by a light mini-massage and a nourishing cream rinse tailored to their specific coat needs.
The service also includes a nail trim, ear and eye cleaning, and a gentle face cleanse using a soft washcloth. We finish with a relaxing fluff dry in a gentle dryer, along with soothing manual fluff drying to ensure a soft, beautiful coat without unnecessary stress.
Basic Bath and Brush out
Our Basic Brush & Blow-Out service for dogs and cats includes a cleansing bath with a quality shampoo, followed by a thorough blow-dry and full brush-out to leave the coat clean, soft, and refreshed.
The service also includes a nail trim, ear cleaning, sanitary trim, scissoring of the feet, pad shaving for comfort and cleanliness, and anal gland expression (for dogs, as needed). This is the perfect maintenance option between full grooming appointments to keep your pet looking neat and well cared for.
De-shedding Treatments
Our De-Shedding Service is designed to significantly reduce excess shedding and keep your pet’s coat healthy and manageable. The treatment begins with a bath using a specialized low-shed shampoo, followed by the application of a professional de-shedding solution to help loosen and release the undercoat.
We then perform up to 30 minutes of focused brushing using the FURminator tool to safely remove loose fur and minimize shedding at home. This service helps promote a healthier coat, reduces matting, and keeps your space noticeably cleaner.

Spa day at Claws n Paws…fresh and clean! Claws n paws is the only groomer I’ve found that can trim Sky’s nails and it’s not stressful for her. The facility is spotless and the staff is super welcoming and accommodating. Highly recommend!!

Today was Gabi's first visit to Claws-N-Paws. She came home looking her best! Her haircut is incredible! Our previous groomers would never cut her hair shorter, leaving plenty of shedding at the house daily. She looks amazing and we love the attention to detail on her cut/style. We will be a continued customer for sure

Marcello is an excellent groomer and has a wonderful team working for him as well. He loves and cares for our dog as if she were his own. She is always well-goomed and smells great long after. We have been clients for several years and have always been pleased and our dog is excited to go there. Scheduling appointments is easy and he responds to voice messages promptly. He listens carefully to any special requests, provides full service, and is patient and understanding.

I’ve been taking my cat to Claws and Paws and Marcelo for years. He and his staff are wonderful, professional and care about your pet! They do a wonderful job on long hair cats with getting mats out and trimming/shaving him when he gets too full. Highly recommend Claws and Paws!!!

I couldn’t be happier with Tucker and Henry’s grooming. I know my standard poodles take a long time to groom and Marcelo does a wonderful job with them. The dogs show no stress, and seem happy to be at the shop! They look sleek, handsome, and clean. I am a fan and would recommend Claws-n-paws to all pet owners. Thank you, Marcelo!
