Paw Prints Grooming

Paw Prints Grooming was opened in 2005 by Becki Vander Weele. After starting to work in the field of pet grooming in 1994, it was her dream to open a full service pet grooming facility. We are a family run business; you will find family members and close friends in all aspects of our business. Our goal is to give your pet the best experience possible while providing quality, natural, grooming services. A typical grooming includes full shampooing, ear cleaning, toenail filing, brushing, complete comb out, anal gland expressing, as well as the haircut of your choice. We are grateful to have such a wonderful clientle, and look forward to serving your needs for many years to come.

We would like you to get to know us so come meet our staff!
