Services

Boarding

Going out of town? Bring your furry friend to The Paw! They will have as much fun on their vacation as you have on yours.

Day Care

Socialization is one of the greatest gifts you can give your pet. Let them play while you are away at work or doing errands so they can relax with you at the end of your busy days.

Grooming

We love pampering your pet and offer many grooming services to keep your dog looking and feeling their best.

 

Training

Puppy kindergarten to advanced obedience. Effective training provides both of you with the effective communication, understanding, and respect necessary to develop a well-behaved pet.

Swimming

If you want your dog to love the water, this is your ticket. Your dog’s accomplishment of becoming comfortable in the water will help them become a more confident dog.

Other Services

We offer a host of other services including private parties, rehabilitation, alternative medicine, chiropractic care, laser therapy, and acupuncture.

Your pet deserves the best.

The Paw believes that your pet deserves love and attention while you are away. Your pet is a faithful companion who protects you fearlessly and gives you unconditional love.  We strive to provide mental stimulation and a safe place to rest their heads while they are in our care. If your dog gets along well with other dogs, why not allow them the social enrichment of daycare at The Paw? It is a way to keep them from being bored at home alone and to help shape them into the companion you want them to be. They entertain you, comfort you, and enrich your life in so many ways. Allow them the opportunity to experience The Paw.
