Everyone say hello to Tibby! ☀️🐶

This handsome Golden Retriever is one of our sweet regulars here at Life With Paws, and just LOOK at that adorable face! 🥹😍

Tibby stopped by for another spa day and left looking fresh, fluffy, and ready for fall in his adorable pumpkin bandana! 🎃🍂

One of our favorite things about having regulars like Tibby is getting to build relationships with the pets in our care. Consistent grooming not only helps maintain a healthy skin and coat, but also allows pets to become more familiar with our team, routine, and grooming environment. 🛁🫧

And we think Tibby’s happy little smile says it all! 🥰💜

We love you, Tibby! Until your next spa day! 🐾✨

🐾💜 A FRIENDLY REMINDER FROM LIFE WITH PAWS! 💜🐾

Behind every grooming appointment is more than just a spot on our calendar. It’s time intentionally reserved for your pet, with a groomer prepared to provide the patience, care, and attention they deserve. 🛁✂️

At Life With Paws, we take pride in never rushing through a groom. Every pet deserves individualized care, and that starts with a thoughtfully planned schedule. 💜

As a small business, last-minute cancellations, missed appointments, and late arrivals affect our groomers, the pets scheduled throughout the day, and other families waiting for appointments.

Please keep these important policies in mind:

🐾 Cancellations & Rescheduling: We kindly request at least 48 business hours’ notice. Cancellations made the day before or the day of an appointment will result in a $25 fee.

🐾 No-Call/No-Shows: Clients who miss an appointment without contacting us must prepay their next appointment in full before rebooking.

🐾 Late Arrivals: Arriving more than 15 minutes late may require rescheduling and may result in a late fee.

💜 These policies aren’t simply about keeping our calendar full. They’re about protecting the quality of care we promise every pet.

We understand that life happens and unexpected situations come up! We simply ask that you communicate with us as early as possible so we can best accommodate everyone.

To our amazing clients who arrive on time, communicate schedule changes, and respect the time reserved for their pets — THANK YOU! 🥹💜

✨ Swipe through our slides to learn more about our appointment policies and why they matter!

Thank you for supporting our small business and trusting us with your beloved pets. We couldn’t do what we love without you! 🐾💜

👻🤍 Meet Ghost! 🤍👻

This gorgeous girl came in for her spa day, and as usual, she had plenty to tell us about it! 😂🐾

If you know Huskies, you know the commentary is half the experience — and Ghost makes sure we’re kept fully updated from start to finish. 🗣️😂 Between the conversations, cuddles, bath, blowout, and brush-out, there’s never a dull moment when she’s in the salon!

Regular grooming is especially important for double-coated breeds like Ghost. A thorough bath, blowout, and brush-out helps remove loose undercoat, keeps the coat clean and healthy, and allows that beautiful natural coat to do its job. 🫧🪮✨

And just LOOK at her after her spa day! That bright white coat, those beautiful eyes, and her little candy corn bandana for the finishing touch. 🍬🎃

We may not always know exactly what Ghost is telling us… but we’re pretty sure she runs the place when she’s here. 😂🤍

🐾💜 Meet Kelsey! 💜🐾

We are so excited to officially welcome Kelsey to the Life With Paws team! 🐾✨

Kelsey is our Receptionist & Groomer Helper, and while she may often be the voice answering your calls or the person greeting you at the front desk, there’s a whole other side of her role that happens behind the scenes. 🐶🫧✂️

Kelsey has always had a special way with animals. With lots of hands-on experience working with both horses and dogs, being around animals comes naturally to her — and we think these pictures say just about everything. 🥹💋

Throughout the day, you’ll find her helping our grooming team, spending time with the dogs in our care, learning more about the grooming process, and stepping in wherever an extra set of hands is needed.

Having someone at the front of our salon who also understands animals and genuinely loves being hands-on with them is something we really value. At Life With Paws, caring for the pet in front of us is a team effort — and we’re so happy to have Kelsey as part of it. 💜

We’re excited to watch her continue to learn and grow with us, and we can’t wait for all of our amazing clients — both two-legged and four-legged — to get to know her! 🐾✨

Welcome to the Life With Paws family, Kelsey! 💜

Big dogs will always have a special place in my heart. 🥹🐾🤍

Meet Nancy, the sweetest Great Pyrenees! There’s just something about getting to work with these big, fluffy pups that makes my day. 🫧✨

At Life With Paws, grooming has never been just about making dogs look good. It’s about getting to know each dog, building trust with them, understanding what they need, and creating a grooming experience where their comfort and well-being come first.

Nancy left fresh, fluffy, and looking absolutely beautiful — and that happy face says it all. 🥹🤍

This is exactly why I love what I do and why we created Life With Paws in the first place. 🐾

If you love dogs, grooming transformations, pet care education, and all the behind-the-scenes moments that come with life at a grooming salon, follow along. We have a whole lot more paws coming your way. 🤍🐾

🐾✨ Meet Louis! ✨🐾

Can we talk about how ADORABLE this little guy is?! 🥹🧡 Louis came in for his very first puppy grooming experience with Maddie, and he did such an amazing job!

Puppy grooms are about so much more than the haircut. ✂️ One of the best things you can do for a puppy who will need lifelong grooming is introduce them to the process early, gradually, and positively.

During those first visits, puppies are learning that the grooming salon is a safe place while getting familiar with all of the new sights, sounds, sensations, and handling that come along with grooming — things like:

🐾 Being handled on the grooming table
🛁 The bath and water
💨 The sound and feeling of the dryer
🪮 Brushing and combing
✂️ Clippers and grooming tools
🐾 Having their paws, face, ears, and body handled
💅 Nail trimming
💛 Being away from their family and building trust with their groomer

Starting young gives us the opportunity to introduce these things without expecting perfection. Puppies are still learning! Each positive visit helps build familiarity and confidence so grooming can become a normal part of their routine rather than something completely new when they’re older.

And for fluffy puppies like Louis, getting started early is especially important! Regular grooming combined with brushing and combing at home helps establish the routine they’ll need as their adult coat grows in. 🪮✨

Louis absolutely rocked his first experience, and Maddie made sure this sweet boy had plenty of patience, encouragement, and love along the way. 🥹🧡

Great grooming habits start with great puppy experiences — and Louis is off to an amazing start! 🐶✂️✨
