As devoted pet parents ourselves, we knew Austin deserved better than rushed, stressful grooming experiences. So we built the place we always wished existed — a true sanctuary, built from scratch with love, intention, and a whole lot of research.
Built on Belief, Not Just Business.
Paws & Claws was founded in 2019 by lifelong animal lovers Maya and Jordan, who spent years studying animal behavior and wellness before opening our doors on South Congress. Every policy, every product, every hire — it all comes back to one question: 'Is this good for the animal?'
2019 — Founded on South Congress Ave, Austin.
2021 — Webcam Access Launched, giving pet parents real-time peace of mind.
2023 — Aromatherapy Program Added, elevating the spa experience for every pet.
Meet the Hands Behind the Magic.
Our groomers aren't just skilled — they're certified in low-stress handling techniques, trained in animal first aid, and genuinely passionate about what they do. You'll notice the difference the moment you meet them.
The Philosophy That Guides Everything We Do.
We believe grooming should feel like self-care, not a chore — for your pet and for you. Soft lighting, calming aromatherapy, ambient nature sounds, and one-on-one attention aren't extras here. They're the standard. Because your pet can't tell you how they feel, but we can make sure they feel good.
We'd love to show you around, answer your questions, and meet your pet before their first session. Pop in during open hours or reach out — we promise we don't bite.
