I've been coming here for years with my 2 dogs. They always take such amazing care of them, great attention to detail, super responsive, and my dogs always come home feeling so good and happy! You can tell this is run by a place where people love their dogs.
They saw us right away no reservation we had twinki's nails done and a face trim. They charged 50 bucks total. Not bad price, but the face trim was a little sloppy but my yorki can be tough to deal with. They got us in the next day and they did great work on my fuzzy twinki into a soft smooth sweetheart, I highly recommend them " on ingersoll in dm
Our mini golden doodle loves coming to Pawz N Klawz every 4 weeks for pampering, bath and grooming! He always leaves smelling amazing and looking so great! The staff is so friendly and the groomers are very good at their job, listening to our requests and delivering what we ask for! I highly recommend this groomer for your fur baby 🥰
I had my Mr. Winston done by Wynter here at Pawz and klawz and they did an amazing job! Doesn’t he just look the sharpest little handsome man!?!?! 10/10 would definitely recommend.
I have been bringing my dog gunner here for sometime, and he loves it. He is not the most easiest dog to work with but they are amazing! And when my dad passed away they were so kind and easy to deal with scheduling will definitely always be back! And recommend

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.
