Amazing work! My German Shepard looked shiny and brand new. He can be a bit anxious when getting groomed but had no issues here!

The grooming was excellent. The groomer was pleasant and informative when questioned. My pup looks great and smells good. The cost for the services was a real value. I look forward to using this grooming service again.

1/24/26 First-time customers of Happy Bay Paws.
After making an inquiry into their services/costs I received a text very shortly thereafter from Kevin (who was delightful). Kevin answered all of my questions, offered a very competitive rates so an appt was booked for their Full Grooming Service ($160) with “Eli”.
Overall we are pleased with the grooming our 13-yr-old, lab/shepherd, “Kody” received from Eli.
Details: Large (41 - 70 lbs) • Thick, fluffy double-coat • 10 years or older • 0 - 2 months ago • Gland expression • De-shedding treatment • Mobile grooming in special vehicle • No additional dogs
