The Friendly Paw Philosophy
Providing the best unmatched care for your pets means comfort, safety, and confidence are held as the top priority during each appointment. At Friendly Paws, we believe each dog deserves undivided attention and care. Each dog is groomed start to finish from the moment the get on the table. We are all inclusive which means we only carry the highest quality products, tools, and treatments at no additional cost to you.
All Friendly Paws dogs should come on a regular 2,4,6, or 8 week schedule. Having a dog who is groomed regularly is essential for keeping the process calm and safe and we do not believe in putting pets through a process that is stressful and uncomfortable for them.
We are in this profession because our love for animals is deep and true. It's incredibly important for us to be able to bond and connect with your pets so that your dog feels loved and safe during their time with us.
