As pet owners, it’s our responsibility to keep our dogs clean and well-maintained. Yet, giving your dog a bath can be quite an adventure! Lucky for you, Paw Play in Southington takes care of all the grooming, so you don’t have to. Say goodbye to muscle aches and worries about a wet, soapy dog running through the house. For over 20 years, our groomers have provided a caring, gentle environment that makes the experience more enjoyable for pets.
About Dog Grooming
Much like trips to the vet’s office, professional grooming may not be your dog’s favorite activity. Pet cleaning and hygienic care are different at our award-winning salon. Our friendly staff makes the process a more comfortable, positive experience by incorporating toys and treats into the groom. Plus, dogs can return to play as soon as we’re done!

Paw Play is proud to be in business for over two decades.
