4 Pawz Pet Grooming offers full service pet grooming at 6586 State Route 179 #C-4, across from the outlet Mall in the Village of Oak Creek.

Renee Claybon is certified from the Dog Grooming Academy in Mt. Clemens, Mich., and has been grooming for eight years.

"I love what I do," she said. "To see a pet come in dirty or matted and both pet and owner leave with a smile is awesome. We are really excited to be opening at this new location. The community of Sedona has been so supportive, not only in the construction of the new location of the salon, but also in the loyalty of its customers and has been pleased to see a new business in town"

After working for different major chain grooming salons both in Arizona and Michigan Renee and her husband, Tim, noticed that pet care and maintenance can get quite expensive. So, they adjust their prices to keep it affordable for regular up-keep.

4 Pawz Pet Grooming offers a one-on-one service.

"We don't keep dogs in cages, unless absolutely necessary. We have a large fenced doggie play area and never mix our clients together," explained Renee.

Along with standard baths and grooming, other services are available such as doggie day stay, medicated baths, massage and de-matting and teeth brushing.

"We offer services to make you and your pet more comfortable," she said.

Nail cutting and grinding are also provided. Regular nail trims should be maintained every four to six to weeks to help prevent over growth of the nail quick. 4 Pawz Pet Grooming also offers breed-specific cuts and de-shedding for double-coated breeds. They use premium shampoos and products and fresh warm water is used for every groom.

"We will always take the time that is needed for your pet to make sure it is a happy, non-stressful, safe experience," Renee said.

There are many benefits to regular grooming, such as:

• Keeps skin and coat healthy,

• More comfortable with each visit

• Contributes to longer healthier lives

• Can reduce allergy symptoms

• Provides an extra set of eyes that may help notice skin issues or growths

4 Pawz Pet Grooming is available 9 a.m. to 5 p.m Monday through Saturday. Call to schedule an appointment or make special arrangements for your Pet at 928-554-4951.
