What Is Dog Grooming?

Dog grooming is more than a bath and a haircut—it’s essential care that keeps your pet healthy, clean, and comfortable. At Paws & Claws, every grooming session includes gentle handling, coat evaluation, and personalized attention based on your dog’s breed, coat type, and temperament.

Our grooming services may include a full bath, blow-dry, brushing, haircut or trim, nail care, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, sanitary trim, and overall wellness check-ins. With over 20 years of experience in veterinary and grooming environments, Sherita ensures every dog feels safe, calm, and well cared for from start to finish.

When Is Dog Grooming Necessary?

Regular grooming is necessary for every dog—not just long-haired breeds. Grooming prevents matting, reduces shedding, supports skin health, and keeps your dog smelling and feeling fresh. It also helps catch early signs of ear infections, skin issues, or discomfort that may otherwise go unnoticed.

Your dog may need grooming if you notice:
• Excess shedding or a dull coat
• Mats and tangles
• Overgrown nails clicking on the floor
• Odor, buildup, or itchy skin
• Hair covering eyes or paws
• Dry, dirty, or irritated ears

Consistent grooming not only improves your dog’s appearance—it boosts their overall health and comfort, giving them a happier and more enjoyable daily life.

What Is Required For Dog Grooming?

To keep your pet safe and ensure a smooth grooming experience, we ask for the following:

• Up-to-date vaccinations (Rabies required; Bordetella recommended for frequent boarders/daycare).
• Clear instructions on your preferred haircut or grooming style.
• Any known sensitivities or medical notes—we’re trained to accommodate needs related to skin, anxiety, senior dogs, and more.
• Current flea/tick prevention to maintain a clean, healthy environment for all pets.

At Paws & Claws, we take the time to understand each pet’s personality and comfort level. Whether your dog is shy, energetic, anxious, or excited, we work at their pace to ensure a safe, positive grooming experience every visit
