What to Expect
Every appointment follows the same four steps, so you and your dog know what's coming from the first call to pick-up.
Call, text, or email us. We'll get back to you personally to discuss your dog, the service you need, and find a time that works. No forms, no automated systems.
Arrive at 3487 Richmond Road at your confirmed time. We'll greet you and your dog personally, discuss any notes, and take things from there. No rush.
Your dog receives our complete, undivided attention. Hydra Professional bath, precision grooming, and any add-ons you've chosen, all done at the dog's pace.
We'll let you know when your dog is ready. They leave with a clean coat, a proper finish, and a wagging tail. We look forward to seeing you both again.
Every Service Intentional.
Every Detail Considered.
We use Hydra Professional exclusively across every service. One premium product line, chosen with purpose and trusted completely.

By InquiryMicrobubbles
Most baths clean the surface.
We go deeper.
Dirt, bacteria, yeast and allergens sit deep in the pores and follicles, past where shampoo reaches. Thera-Clean gets there.
Thera-Clean Microbubble technology generates billions of ultra-fine bubbles, each just 3–20 micrometers across, smaller than most bacteria. These negatively charged bubbles penetrate deep, attracting and lifting impurities through a process that requires no chemicals, no rubbing, and no irritation.
Pure water becomes billions of bubbles at 3–20 micrometers, smaller than most bacteria, each carrying a negative electrical charge.
Negatively charged bubbles are drawn deep into follicles and pores, attracting and binding to positively charged contaminants: dirt, bacteria and allergens.
The bubbles collapse, releasing energy that lifts and carries away everything bound to them. No chemicals, no rubbing, no irritation. The negative ion effect soothes your dog throughout.
Neutralizes odor-causing bacteria at the source, so your dog stays fresh far longer between grooms.
Removes trapped allergens and irritants that cause chronic itching, hot spots and inflammation, without chemicals.
White dogs look brighter. Dark coats deepen. All coats feel noticeably softer. You'll see it the moment you pick your dog up.
Regular treatments significantly minimize shedding and airborne dander, which is better for your dog and your home.
The negative ion effect mirrors nature at the base of a waterfall. Most dogs visibly calm during treatment.
With cleaner follicles, topical and oral medications prescribed by your vet absorb and work more effectively.
The Odor Rescue
Skunk, garbage, or whatever else they found. This is the treatment that gets rid of it instead of covering it up. Hydra Professional and Thera-Clean, start to finish.
Rescue
Specialized Care Treatments
Some situations require more than a standard service. These treatments are discussed personally, priced by consultation, and held to the same standard as everything we do.
Intensive undercoat removal for thick, double-layered coats. Less shedding, less matting, a more comfortable dog. Finished with a Hydra Professional conditioning treatment.
A careful, time-intensive process to release localized matting using professional tools, with the skin and the dog's comfort coming first throughout. Priced by time and coat condition.
When a coat is too severely matted to treat any other way, a full reset is the most humane path forward, followed by a Hydra Professional deep cleanse and restoration treatment.
A targeted cleansing treatment followed by Hydra Professional's restoration system, which clears the irritants, rebalances the coat and leaves the skin calm and hydrated.
Their First.
It Should Be Perfect.
A puppy's first grooming experience shapes how they feel about the salon for life. Calm, patient, and built around their comfort.

Every specialty cut at The Paws starts with a consultation, not a menu. Your groomer assesses your dog's breed, coat condition, structure, and your vision before any scissors are lifted. Pricing is determined by the complexity of the style, the condition of the coat, and the time required to execute it properly. We always confirm the investment before we begin.
Breeds we work with include Miniature Schnauzer, Mini Goldendoodle, Havanese, Long-Hair Dachshund, Golden Retriever, Bichon Frisé, and more. If you don't see your breed, reach out. If we can do it right, we will.

Trusted by Staten Island's
Most Discerning Families
I have two dogs, one who is battling cancer and another who is reactive, so trusting a groomer is extremely important to me. Vanessa and her partner truly go above and beyond. Every time my dogs come back, they look incredible, smell so good, and are clearly treated with so much care and patience. Beyond their talent, their attitude truly stands out — they're kind, calm, and genuinely positive people. I can feel how pure their intentions are, and that alone gives me so much peace. I trust them completely and never feel stressed leaving my dogs in their care.
The best groomers on Staten Island. Vanessa and her fiancé are so lovely — caring and loving. They truly take their time to deliver the best results. We trust them 100%. My dogs Luna and Leo both loved coming in. We can't wait for our next appointment.
Vanessa is absolutely amazing. You can tell right away that she truly loves what she does — gentle, patient, and incredibly skilled. My dogs have always come back looking great and feeling happy. I trust her completely and highly recommend her to anyone who genuinely cares about their dog.
I can't say enough good things. Vanessa truly loves what she does and it shows. My dog Bella absolutely enjoys her visits and always comes home looking amazing and so happy. I've already recommended Vanessa to two of my friends because she's simply the best.
