We recently started going to Trophy Paws since our favorite groomer EVER joined the team: Theresa Duran. Theresa is amazing and Trophy Paws is a wonderful grooming environment. The shop feels like a boutique hair & beauty salon, for your pup! The staff were communicative, provided a price breakdown (unrequested- rare!), and gave practical advice for keeping our pups in pristine condition. We are very happy customers indeed and would highly recommend trusting them with your pups.

Jesse has such a talent for grooming, and it shows every time we bring our miniature poodle Melvin in. He understands how to work with him, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. We’ve been so happy with his work and recommend him whenever we get the chance!

I can’t say enough great things about the groomer, Jesse, he is incredibly kind and truly has a way with dogs. He always does an excellent job with my dog’s cuts, making sure he looks and feels his best. My dog always leaves happy, which says a lot about the care and attention he receives. The entire place has such a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and it’s clear that they genuinely love what they do. I feel completely at ease knowing my dog is in great hands. Highly recommend!

Trophy Paws does an amazing job grooming my pups! They leave happy, well-groomed, and unharmed which is all I can ask for from a groomer. Everyone has a great attitude so you cannot go wrong with any groomer! They are super responsiveness and ask what your preferences are, which I appreciate. I also LOVE the photoshoot they do of the pups post-groom, they’re amazing! Love this place!

Dale is a timid 120 Great Dane who has had difficulty at other groomers. Nicole is fantastic with him and the walk in shower at Trophy Paws is a game changer! My wood floors are grateful for the de shedding treatment and nail trims! Highly recommend Trophy Paws and Nicole!!

It was my first time bringing my pup to Trophy Paws and I had such a wonderful experience! Sam did an amazing job, and made my dog feel comfortable and at ease during her appointment. The staff is very communicative and friendly and made pick up and drop off a breeze. They also sent over some cute photos after the appointment! I will definitely be recommending Trophy Paws and Sam to anyone looking for a groomer!

Kelly Marie at Trophy Paws does an amazing job on our little Havanese! He is definitely very finicky and has thick curly hair and she always does an amazing job with the cut. He also comes home happy. She always takes into account our special requests (preserves his luxurious eyelashes) and he comes home looking and feeling fresh. Also love the pics she takes of all the dogs after their cuts!!

Just finished our first grooming at Trophy Paws! I am overjoyed I have found the perfect place to continue taking our puppy. I was able to get an appointment with Kassandra quickly. Our puppy had some matting so I was nervous but Kassandra did an incredible job and I am so pleased with the care and welcome we both received from her. We received feedback that our puppy did really well so he must’ve been very comfortable in her care as well. Highly recommend!

Frequently 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.
