What Austin dog owners say
4.9 stars · 200+ reviews on Google
"Velvet Paw is the only place I trust with my anxious rescue. Maya and her team are so patient and gentle. Biscuit comes home happy and smelling amazing every time."
"I've tried four groomers in Austin and none come close. The Velvet Groom package is worth every penny. My husky's coat has never looked this good."
"Brought my 10-week-old puppy for the intro session and it was perfect. They took their time, gave her treats, and now she actually gets excited to go. Incredible."
"My senior lab has arthritis and they handled him with such care. The non-slip mats, the gentle handling — you can tell they genuinely love dogs here."
