Google Review
“Bud’s always had serious anxiety around grooming resulting in behavioural issues at every visit. After Buds second visit with Stephanie at Soft Paw, he is calm and happy. It just goes to show what a little patience and gentle handling can do. We’ve previously never liked a cut following buds grooms, however both times with Soft Paw he’s come home looking super cute. Assignment was understood perfectly! Thank you Stephanie. Bud will be with Soft Paw for life 🥰❤️”
