I’ve been taking my Golden Retriever here since he was a puppy, and recently started bringing my other dog here as well. They both always come home smelling and looking incredible! Everyone I’ve ever interacted with here has been so friendly and they all seem to love dogs. The last time we came in I had some questions about the difference between a full groom and a mini groom. The girl at the desk was really helpful in explaining all that goes into a full groom that isn’t done with the mini groom.
We’ve tried many salons around Tampa and this is the best one. My 1 year old doodle is not the calmest and hates when people touch his snout but this place is amazing every single time. Front desk is great, all the groomers are wonderful and very kind. And they always put some sort of bow/bandana which we reuse all the time! Highly recommend!
Love the work done here at Tampa Paws! Our Quinn leaves happy, fragrant, and clean every time. The accessories are a really nice touch! The salon space is really beautiful, updated, open, and lots of toys and pet accessory options available. The staff are friendly and overjoyed to service every pet, I’ve noticed.
Love Tampa Paws! So happy to have a salon close as well as amazing service! Friendly caring staff, treat us and our fur babies, Milo and Toby like family! Kym is awesome! Have been using her for several years🥰 Everyone is wonderful!
First time there and I was so impress. All groomers should be the same way. The fact that My fur baby is not in a cage Waiting to be groomed Is so awesome. He gets to run around and play with all of fur babies. I love the atmosphere and everything there. what a great experience, but to be honest you have to take your fur baby there to experience it all. If you’ve never been to a salon for your fur babies, you need to take them there. from the second you walk-in until I go pick Casper. My new pet groomer excuse me, (pet salon). Just try it one time and trust me you’ll go back😁 thank you, Juliana for your help in answering all my questions. your friendliness is amazing. the rest of the staff are definitely on point. Casper looks great ❤️ One happy pet parent.🫶🏼🐶
I can’t say enough great things about this amazing groomer! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the friendly staff, and my baby was treated with such care and kindness. Our groomer Thiago is truly a professional—he listened to my requests and gave my baby the perfect cut. Not only did my baby come out looking adorable every time, but she was also happy and relaxed, which speaks volumes about the gentle handling and stress-free environment. The facility is clean, well-organized, and you can tell they genuinely love what they do. I really appreciate that he never rushes through the process! He takes his time to groom our little one with care, giving her breaks whenever she feels stressed. This level of patience and attention is rare among groomers, as many tend to hurry to the next client. We’re so grateful to have Thiago looking after our baby!
The office does such a great job at communicating in different forms without feeling like they’re hassling you. I was running late to my appointment due to some accidents and the owner was very accommodating in allowing me to be 15 minutes late. He did a such a great job at explaining the process and making sure to set realistic expectations with me about all aspects of my cat’s grooming appointment. He asked me about my kitty’s temperament and fun facts about her, spending time to get face time with her before taking her to the back. It’s hard to find a groomer for cats in the Tampa area. Lani, my cat, was not in distress after and actually was jumping around and playful after leaving her appointment Safe to say we will be back!
My dog Mila Paris always goes to Tampa Paws! my schedule is very chaotic but the front desk always helps me find available appointments for her! She began with Kim and transitioned to Thiago (who is often booked) so lately she has been with Yasmin and the last two hair cuts I have loved her super short 😍 check out these pictures!
We came for another visit today, 12/19/24. We are so happy with the services provided and how well my dog, Eden, was groomed! She looks sharp for the holidays! Jay did a great job with her. ❤️❤️❤️ ————————————————————————- We just got our rescue dog back from her first visit at Tampa paws pet salon! I am so happy with the service that was provided and how wonderful they handled our new dog! The facility is beautiful and the staff is utterly amazing! Amanda did the grooming and she was exceptional with her patience, care and grooming abilities. Jay at the front desk was awesome and took great care of our Eden. I would highly recommend them for somebody who is looking for a truly professional Dog Grooming facility. We will be back.
We are new to the area and yet to find a groomer we were happy with. We decided to try Tampa Paws based on all the positive reviews from doodle owners. We were super happy with how they treated our fur baby and they gave her a great groom, listening to exactly what we asked for. We will definitely be coming back!

Call to BookFrequently Asked Questions About Cat Grooming
What should I expect during a professional cat grooming session?
A typical professional cat grooming session usually begins with a consultation to discuss your cat's needs. The groomer will then examine your cat's coat and skin condition before proceeding with services like brushing to remove loose fur, bathing with cat-specific shampoo, blow-drying, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and any specialized haircuts if needed. Most sessions take between 1-2 hours depending on your cat's coat condition and temperament.
How should I prepare my cat for a grooming appointment?
To prepare your cat for grooming, brush them at home a few days before to remove loose fur and minor tangles. Keep your cat in a secure carrier for transportation. Arrive a few minutes early to complete paperwork and allow your cat time to adjust to the new environment. Bring information about your cat's health, temperament, and any areas they're sensitive about. For anxious cats, consider withholding food for 2-3 hours before the appointment to reduce the risk of stress-related nausea.
Why is professional cat grooming important?
Professional cat grooming is important for several reasons: it reduces shedding and hairballs, prevents painful matting, allows early detection of skin issues or parasites, keeps your cat's coat healthy and shiny, reduces dander (helpful for allergy sufferers), and maintains proper hygiene. Professional groomers have specialized tools, products, and techniques to safely handle cats, even those with behavioral challenges. Regular grooming also helps cats become more comfortable with handling, which is beneficial for veterinary visits.
How often should my cat be professionally groomed?
The frequency of professional grooming depends on your cat's coat type, length, and lifestyle. Long-haired breeds like Persians typically need grooming every 4-6 weeks to prevent matting. Medium-haired cats may need grooming every 6-8 weeks, while short-haired cats might only need professional attention every 8-12 weeks or during seasonal shedding periods. Cats with special conditions like obesity or arthritis that prevent self-grooming may need more frequent appointments. Your groomer can recommend an appropriate schedule based on your cat's specific needs.
What's the difference between cat and dog grooming?
Cat grooming differs significantly from dog grooming. Cats have more sensitive skin, requiring gentler handling and cat-specific products. Their grooming sessions are typically shorter to minimize stress. Cats often need specialized restraint techniques and quieter environments. Cat groomers use different tools designed for feline coats and are trained to recognize signs of stress unique to cats. Cat-only grooming facilities eliminate the anxiety many cats experience around dogs, creating a more comfortable experience for your feline friend.
