Puppy Grooming!
March 20, 2026

Grooming does not only make your dog look great, it also has countless benefits for their overall health! For this reason it is important to familiarize a new puppy with the grooming process early on. An introductory grooming appointment can be made as early as 13 weeks of age.

Benefits of Regular Grooming:

  • Good hygiene and odor control
  • Early detection of skin issues
  • Avoid matting
  • Reduce risk of overgrown nails
  • Reduce shedding
  • Get pet used to being handled

Puppy’s First Grooming:

For your puppy’s first grooming the Muddy Paws Salon offers introductory sessions. This will include only basic tasks such as bathing, nail clipping, and brushing. Minimal trimming in front of the eyes as well as a sanitary trim may also be completed depending on the dog’s coat type and tolerance level. To inquire about these services or make an appointment please call the salon at 978-948-5361.

All puppies over the age of 4 months are required to have rabies, distemper and kennel cough vaccines.
