The love and trust between a dog and their person run deep and for me, that bond started with my Poodle, Royce. He was my heart dog—my why—the reason I became the groomer I am today. For 18 incredible years, he was by my side, deeply connected to me, and always anxious when we were apart. Through him, I truly understood how sensitive, intelligent, and emotionally in-tune dogs can be, especially breeds like Poodles and Doodles.

I saw firsthand how many dogs struggle with being handled by new people and how they need time, patience, and a sense of security to truly feel comfortable. That understanding became the foundation for Poodles & Pals Pet Spaw—a place built for dogs who need extra reassurance, a gentle touch, and a grooming experience that feels safe and familiar.

But it’s not just about the dogs—it’s about the people who love them, too. We know that when you hand over your dog’s leash, you’re trusting us with more than just a pet. You’re trusting us with years of fetch, belly rubs, and bedtime cuddles. You’re trusting us with your best friend, your walking buddy, your biggest healer. You’re trusting us with your child’s tea party guest, the shoulder you cried on, the one who’s been there through every life change.

We don’t take that lightly. That’s why we’ve created a space where both dogs and their humans can feel at ease—knowing that every dog in our care will be treated with patience, kindness, and the same love we’d give our own. Because at Poodles & Pals Pet Spaw, it’s not just grooming—it’s trust, respect, and a commitment to treating every dog like family.
