A barber shop, but for dogs
Paw Me Up started with a simple idea: grooming should feel like a good barber visit — calm, unhurried, and shaped to the individual in the chair.
So that’s how we run it. One dog on the table at a time. Every cut starts with hands on the coat and a conversation about what you actually want. We’d rather spend ten extra minutes and send home a dog who isn’t frightened of the next visit.
We work with every breed and every temperament, and we’re glad to take the dogs other shops find difficult.
