Dog Spaw All Breed Styling has more than 25 years of experience serving the Auburn, Washington, area. We are an authorized FURminator® shedless facility located on the corners of Kent Black Diamond, Auburn Black Diamond, and Thomas Roads. A member of the National Dog Groomers Association of America, Dog Spaw All Breed Styling focuses on quality dog grooming, not volume. We work with all breeds and sizes of dogs. 

Dog Spaw suggest arriving 15 minutes early for your scheduled appointment in order to discuss your pet’s styling.  You are always welcome to drop off earlier than your appointment time, however I may need to reschedule those who are more than 10 minutes late.  For appointments to run smoothly pets must be on time to avoid delays and help ensure reasonable pick up times. Please give 24 hours advance notice in the event of a cancellation.  After 2 cancellations or “No Shows”, customers must prepay a non-refundable deposit for all appointments.

At Dog Spaw, we do not sedate pets.  We retain the right to refuse service to any pet we feel is unable to be groomed whether due to aggressiveness, age, or health.

Dog Spaw is renowned for its aesthetically pleasing and soothing atmosphere, made possible because of it’s low-volume, appointment-only salon.  Your pet will receive personal attention in a stress-free environment from the moment he or she arrives, until it’s time to go home, which averages 1 to 2 hours.  Every pet is treated with the same love and care we give our own pets.

Haircuts and styles are chosen based on breed standards, owner’s specifications and the pet’s lifestyle and comfort.

Pricing Pawlicies

To make pricing fair for all of our customers, we charge according to the amount of time each pet takes to groom.  There are no extra charges for special shampoos.  All you pay for is the actual time required for the grooming/styling, which can include any de-matting and/or stripping, brushing, setting patterns, bathing and fluff drying.  Your pets’ grooming price may vary depending on their coat condition.  The average time to groom a dog in good condition is about 1 to 2 hours.
