Pampering is our Job

Our groomer/trainer, J.T. Burnett comes to work with us two days a week and she has really taken on our motto of Pampered Paws. James' dog Buc comes to visit us several days during the week and he and J.T. have really hit it off. She not only pampers Buc but she pampers all of the animals that come in to the shop. You can tell from the way the dogs act around her that they sense her love of dogs!

Before and After

Sometimes dogs come to us for grooming and maybe they haven't been for a while. Those dogs make the most impressive before and after photos. One doggie came from the beach in need of a makeover and when he left he felt so much better and looked great. J.T. Burnett is teaching us to groom and we are having a good time learning. Hopefully one day we will be as good as she is with those clippers and scissors. Mary Jo is well on her way to becoming a great groomer and I am trying hard to keep up. In the meantime we are making the world more beautiful by sending home pretty little puppies.

Hank is one fun pooch!

Doggie Day Care is up and running at Pampered Paws. One of our favorite doggies is Hank, from the owners of Wilcox Pharmacy. Hank is an English Bulldog with quite a personality. He loves to play with with other dogs, especially the pretty little girl dogs. Hank spends most of his time at Wilcox Pharmacy with his owners but when things get too busy up there he comes to visit us at daycare. He has quite a fan base from what I understand. In fact people go to the pharmacy just to see him sometimes. He is becoming a local celebrity....lol.

I couldn't resist putting him on the couch for a picture. He can't quite get up there by himself yet. Most of the time you will find him snoozing in one of the comfy doggie beds. We just LOVE Hank.

Up and Running

Pampered Paws officially opened on September 21, 2009. Friends, Carol Gentz, Mary Jo Hall and Joan Hileman decided that Winnie needed a place for pampered pets. The business offers grooming, boarding and daycare. Unknown to the trio was the fact that the veterinary office no longer had a groomer. So, it worked out for the new business because people were looking for someone to take care of their grooming needs.

Pampered Paws is located conveniently next to the Winnie Post office at 127A W. Cypress. The business has a living room area for the pets to play and also a closed in porch and a fenced yard to them to play. The day care dogs are treated to playtime, treats and lots of tender loving care. Watch this site often for photos. You might one day see one of your own pets on the blog.

For information or to set up an appointment for grooming, daycare or boarding just call us at 409-267-5213 or 409-658-3439.
