’Twas the night before Christmas at the grooming shop,
When the last pup was picked up right on the dot.
The clippers were quiet, the dryers were still,
And the groomers were dreaming of wine… or a nap… or both, if you will.
The doggies went home smelling fresh as can be,
With bandanas, bows, and a holiday spree.
No fur left unbrushed, no nail left too long,
Every pup left lookin’ like they belong in a song.
The tubs were all empty, the towels were stacked,
The deshed pile was big… let’s not talk about that.
When out in the lobby there came such a sound
Probably one last doodle doing victory rounds.
I peeked through the door with a tired groomer stare,
But no one was there, just fur literally everywhere.
Then I laughed to myself and turned off the light,
Another day grooming had ended just right.
So here’s to the floof, the drool, and the cheer,
The kisses, the wiggles, the shedding all year.
Merry Christmas to pups, the short, tall, and thick.

Welcome to Pretty Paws and Claws
For the safety of everyone, we cannot accept or groom pets with fleas. Please ensure your pet is flea-free before the appointment. Your vet can help if you’re unsure.
Prices vary by groomer, as they work independently.
Timely pickup is necessary. Extended wait times may result in additional fees.
We ask that owners not stay during grooming, as most pets become more anxious or distracted when their owners are around.
To keep our schedule running smoothly for all clients:
- A $20 fee applies if you arrive 15+ minutes late.
- A $50 fee applies for no-shows or last-minute cancellations.
- These fees do not apply to nail trims.
