The Velvet Paw

History

The Velvet Paw got its start in the Magnolia neighborhood, right up the street from the historic Fisherman's Terminal. In 2004 we moved to Greenwood, to a vastly superior lease situation. We started with two friends who loved pets and had over 12 years' combined grooming experience deciding to open their own salon. We were excited to see how much demand there was for our 'short-stay' services and met many wonderful clients in Magnolia. One of us moved away, so Katie took over and, with a little help in the form of great bather assistants, has been providing quality, speedy grooming ever since with unequaled attention to detail. We are happy to do a classic breed standard clip, as well as more artistic/unusual grooming to suit your needs and your pet's individual look!

Specialties

We are unique in that we use organic products on your pet - no harmful dips or perfumes. We are also one of the fastest salons around, with average stay being 3 hours or less. No more leaving your pet all day while they get stressed at a noisy grooming shop! We do all breeds except the largest, and specialise in hand-scissor and unusual clips. Just getting a bath? We still always trim nails and clean ears for you - no extra charge.
