Looking for the best dog grooming service in Southern Maine? We're conveniently located in Saco, and have customers come from Biddeford, Dayton, Old Orchard Beach, and even further to experience our quality grooming services. Paw-zn-Around offers specialized professional dog grooming services to help keep your pooch fresh, clean and feeling great!

Our Certified Professional Groomers (Canine Appearance Technicians) have over 21 years of combined experience and are dedicated to groom your dog through professional skills and kindness. Our groomers work as a team to care for dogs with special needs.

New clients get a one on one consultation with one of our groomers to get to know your dog in terms of health, behavior and coat condition. We work with you to achieve a healthy skin and coat as well as a great looking dog. We offer variety of top-quality shampoos and conditioners including hypo-allergenic baths and facial scrubs.

Our facility offers a ramped bath area for safety in a large window-lit grooming area. After a hand held blow dry, dogs are crated for a gentle breeze-like air dry. We bring dogs out for potty breaks, provide water and if it’s ok with you, a treat for a job well done!
