Hey there folks! I won't be available at all this weekend as I'm in Texas attending a professional development expo! Getting in those continuing education hours so I can keep up on current standards and continue to grow as a "prefurred" professional 😊🐾

I do not offer walk-in or "a la carte" services at this time.

You can text me at 337-404-9331 if you have questions or would like to book an appointment.

Monday memories 💖

It's been a long road, getting from there to here!

It's so nice to look back at where I started, and see where I'm at today! I can't believe I have my own place to call my work home, where I can continue to grow and travel my own path 💖🐾

08/06/2023

I've had a lot of inquiries and am working my way through them 😊 thank you so much for your patience!

A frequent question coming up is in regards to pricing.

Each pet receives their own price based on a variety of factors, such as size, coat condition, behavior, and desired hairstyle. If they need deshedding, they get it. If they need a soothing shampoo for itchy skin, they get it. No nickel and dime add-ons, as everything they need will be included in their personalized price.

(Spaw treatment menu and pricing is still in progress)

🐾 Short haired breed examples: Chihuahuas, dachshunds, boxers, pitties, and great danes

🐾 Long haired breed examples: yorkies, schnauzers, cocker spaniels, poodles

🐾 Double coated breeds include: pomeranians, German shepherds, huskies, rough collies, great pyrenees

🐾 -oodle Mixes include any mixed breed dog with a mixed coat of shedding undercoat and non shedding top coat. Examples of common mixed breeds are: goldendoodle, labradoodle, berniedoodle, aussiedoodle, cobberdog, doubledoodles

Sizing is based on weight and height.

A 22lb cocker spaniel will not be the same price as a 38lb cocker spaniel. A 75lb German shepherd will not be the same price as a 110lb German shepherd.

Prices are based on the individual dog in front of me, as two dogs of the same breed can look and behave completely differently.

A $25 nonrefundable deposit is required to book an appointment. This deposit will be applied to your total at the end of the appointment. It also acts as a "no-show/last minute cancellation" fee.

For a personalized quote and policy review, fill out this form and I'll get back to you as soon as possible 😊 --> https://forms.gle/Y7M57beqdCxqhXkS7

Willie and Possum enjoyed their spaw day today. These two were such sweet goofballs 💖 I love Willie's little tongue blep, and Possum appreciated the relaxed environment so much that he kept dozing off while on the table. Looking forward to seeing these silly boys again 🥰

‼️⚠️‼️Salon du Paws is temporarily closed while life settles down. Stay tuned for updates!‼️⚠️‼️

I offer specialty pet grooming for dogs and cats. From basic maintenance trims to full-day spa experiences, Salon du Paws offers something for everyone.

I take a holistic approach to pet care and operate on three core principles:

💖 Humanity Before Vanity 💖
💝 Compassion Before Fashion 💝
💗 Pets Before Profits 💗

And now, important details!

I operate by appointment only. All services are one-on-one and based on the individual pet's needs. I do not offer walk-in services.

Appointments are booked Monday through Thursday, 10:00am-5:00pm. These are also my business hours for communication. Messages received outside of these hours will be returned during business hours.

All appointments require a $25 nonrefundable deposit. This deposit holds your appointment slot and acts as a late cancellation/no-show fee.

Text 337-404-9331 for more information and booking.

I do not answer calls. This is for the safety of the pets in my care, and to ensure my full attention is with the pets and people in front of me. Please leave a message, and I will text you back as soon as I am able to within business hours. The building is metal, so signal reception isn't the best. I take several small breaks throughout the day to step outside and check for messages, but I can't guarantee I'll be able to answer any messages immediately.

I look forward to seeing y'all! 🐾💖🐾

05/06/2023

Whew! Day one done! Super glad I decided to do a softer open for this week. I've got some muscles to build back up and gotta get back into the groove, but man, I am happy to be here 💖

Ms. Bailey enjoyed a fizzy mud mask and milk bath after her pre-clip today to help her flaky skin, and Ms. Dixie got a little unicorn flair with those colorful dyed socks for the summer 🐾

Bailey and Dixie belong to my mom. I've groomed Bailey for the past six years, and am the only groomer Dixie has ever known. They both mind very well and have great table manners to where I can trust them to stay put for a quick picture, but they still wait their turn for table or tub time. Because I want to ensure they get my full attention and stay as safe as possible, one is kenneled while the other is being worked on. Although, they do get free reign of the salon during breaks so they can check each other out and get some wiggles out 😊 While I would love to be completely cage free, it isn't the safest option given the hydraulic equipment I work with, the level of attention the pet on my table needs from me, and the level of attention I need from the pet on my table.

03/06/2023

Slowly, surely, we're getting there! Just a few little details to get in place, add a little flair to the walls, and stock up my apothecary shelf for custom therapeutic spa treatments 😍

I'm still fine-tuning my luxury spa treatments menu, but there are some seriously awesome things on here if I do say so myself. Dead Sea mineral and glacial marine clay masks, raw honey turbinado scrubs, epsom salt scrub-n-soaks, ayurvedic herbal masks, herbal tea and floral baths, 24k gold collagen mask, hot oil treatments, effervescent paw soaks... I'm kind of jealous to be honest! 😂 All treatments are mixed in sanitized containers right before use. No bulk batches, no cross contamination, no iffy expiration dates. Custom mixed just for your pet!

I'm also working on my creative grooming menu. It's summer time fun time! All products used for creative grooming are nontoxic and pet friendly. From fur dye, to bling bling, to temporary tattoos. Feather extensions, glitterfication, and wild hair styling. I have plenty of options and ideas to help you and your pet express yourselves ✨

Just like us, pets are individuals with their own individual needs and concerns. While I have done my best to ensure the products I use are high quality, minimally processed, and safe for use, please keep in mind that some individual pets may be more sensitive than others. Whether their skin just doesn't like a certain ingredient, or they personally don't like the way something makes them feel, there is always the risk of an adverse reaction. I always test my treatments in a small area and monitor for reaction before continuing with any full body treatment.

Looking forward to seeing some furbabies next week! 💖🐾

15/05/2023

Hi there! I wanted to pop on and give an introduction of myself and Salon du Paws!

My name is Delaney! I've been working with animals nearly all my life and have been a "proper" professional groomer for a little over five years. I've worked with baths, basic trims, summer shavedowns, and nail maintenance since I was old enough to help take care of the family pets.

I have worked with hundreds of dogs and cats during my time as a professional pet groomer. Even some birds, horses, and ferrets, too! Each one has taught me something different, and I love getting to know everyone's personalities and quirks. Your furbabies are my babies, too 💖

I have dedicated hundreds of hours (and even more than that in dollars) to continuing education and earning certifications and professional credentialing in my chosen career field of pet care. I am dedicated to maintaining my education and keeping up to date with the most current research and data available.

Salon du Paws has been a dream of mine ever since I started professionally grooming. I saw how corporate salons worked. I saw how private salons worked. I've seen great things, and terrible things, from both types of salons. I wanted my own salon where it's an actual salon. Not a place full of scary noises and stressed out groomers rushing through as many haircuts as possible to make as much money as possible with barking dogs stacked in crates to the ceiling and being groomed in an assembly line fashion.

I wanted a luxury, humane, holistic salon experience, with high quality products and even higher quality care. One-on-one, no distractions, no chaos, just me and the pets enjoying a spa day. I dreamed of somewhere I would enjoy going if I were a dog.

And now, I have that.

I've built my business on three core beliefs.

💖Humanity Before Vanity
💝Compassion Before Fashion
💗Pets Before Profits

I will never compromise my ethics for the sake of a dollar. I have no problems saying no or declining services if what's requested goes against my ethics. Some folks don't agree with the way I operate, and that's fine. Some folks want a groomer who will just do whatever it takes to get the job done as quickly and cheaply as possible, and that's fine, too. There's someone out there to fill every niche.

My niche is holistic and cooperative care. I specialize in working with anxious babies and the "trouble children" of the furry world. I do not force anything. I do not assert dominance or use fear or pain to get my way. I do not use excessive restraints to immobilize. I do not pin down dogs. I do not swat, smack, or s***k. I do not use shock collars, whips, or any tool intended to inflict pain to coerce compliance.

Instead, I work *with* your pet. I treat them as an individual, with their own thoughts and emotions, and do my best to understand things from their perspective. I use positive reinforcement and praise when they're making progress. I use gentle corrections, such as a firm "No" or guiding and repositioning them, to help them understand what I'm asking of them. We celebrate the victories, and we take a step back and try again when we fail. When either of us is getting a little testy, we take breaks and try again before anyone gets stressed out or snappy.

No force, no fear, no stress.

I have successfully worked with many pets that have been labeled as impossible, hard-headed, mean, nasty, nervous wreck, scaredy cat, spawn of Satan, and "honestly he's just an as***le."

The fact of the matter is, it all comes down to communication and mutual respect. It just takes a little time and understanding.

I'm looking forward to working with your furry family members 💖

She loves her spaw days 💖

Are you as excited as Karen is?? Me too!!!

My client application form is live! This form collects basic information about your pet and how to contact you, and covers my policies and procedures, all in one spot and secured by Google!

Please note! This is not a first come, first served service! Due to my physical disability, I have to carefully schedule workloads based on how my body is cooperating. Additionally, some pets require longer appointments, and I like to ensure everyfluffy gets the one-on-one time and attention they deserve. Thank you for your understanding 💖

Salon du Paws will be opening soon this summer next to Boyers Nursery. I offer humane and holistic pet grooming.

I am a Fear Free Certified Professional Groomer, meaning I work *with* your pet and celebrate the baby steps while building confidence, trust, and mutual respect. I do not rush and force the process so I can get more dogs done and make more money. I take time to build a loving relationship with your furbaby to help set them up for success!

I am also a Certified Canine Esthetician. I have completed extensive education on specific skin and coat ailments and am credentialed to work with your vet on therapy plans to help soothe and repair skin and coat that is suffering from dry flaky skin, icky weepy yeast, oil build up, excessive shedding, allergies, hot spots, hormonal imbalance, dietary failures, etc. I am NOT a vet and do not diagnose, but I do work *with* your vet to come up with a complementary therapy plan to help your pup look and feel their best. I also put my education to good use and have crafted some of my own special spa treatments, including sugar rubs, herbal mud masks, and fullbody effervescent muscle soaks for the pets that just need a self-care day 💖 24k gold body scrubs? Manuka honey masks? Shea butter paw balm? I got em! Every special spa product is crafted by hand, by me, with the utmost care and sanitation to ensure the best experience for everyone!

I am also AKC S.A.F.E. Certified in salon sanitation, safety, first aid, and CPR, and certified through the AKC in the breed standard grooming of golden retrievers, cocker spaniels, Australian shepherds, west highland terriers, and bicon frises.

I am a master reiki practitioner as well that specializes in animal energy work, if that's something that interests you. Reiki is recognized as a complementary therapy for chronic pain, anxiety, depression, arthritis, inflammation, and so many other ailments.

I have a variety of other certifications and credentials available as well that document my commitment to continuing education and staying up to date on current research.

And yes, I groom cats!! I love working with felines, because every visit is a humbling experience and a lesson in trust and consent.

I have a firm code of ethics in place and believe that, above all, humanity comes before vanity, and compassion comes before fashion. I will never hold a dollar higher than a living soul.

My prices do reflect the time, education, high quality products, and personalized services. My traditional grooming is all inclusive. If your baby needs deshedding, they get it. It's not a $20 add-on, because to me, part of a proper groom is taking care of everything. Nails are trimmed or filed based on the preference and tolerance of the pet. Ears cleaned, and ear hair plucked or trimmed based on the pet's preference. Glands expressed upon request, unless there is visible inflammation or immediate discomfort.

Therapeutic grooming does cost more due to additional time taken away from the shop to communicate with your vet, draft a therapy plan, and formulate a custom treatment. This is a highly specialized service I have spent several years researching and developing.

What I do isn't for everyone, as some people do just want a quick "dip, dry, trim, and go" type of service for as cheap as possible. There are groomers out there who specialize in everything and have a niche for everyone. Everyone wants something different, and there are plenty of dogs to go around.

I specialize in individualized care with a personal touch, perfect for anxious babies and cranky seniors and pets that just need a little extra time and love.

I am so excited to bring my services to DeRidder! I can't wait to meet all your furbabies 💖

Hey, What the Fluff peeps!!! Guess who's back!

Exciting things are coming soon!!!

09/04/2022

Little miss here was much overdue for a spa day! She recently became a mom and couldn't get groomed during the whole pregnancy and weaning for her and her babies' safety ❤️ Congratulations girly!

Any stress or excessive excitement during pregnancy can cause issues for the mom and the babies. Sometimes, mom can lose the whole litter if she gets too worked up. And even once they're born, she's not out of the woods yet. A grooming salon can introduce different bacteria that's normal for other dogs, but can be dangerous for new babies with their weak little immune systems. If you're planning to breed, make sure mom gets a maternity clip super short so she won't get matted and uncomfortable during her pregnancy, and wait until the puppies are weaned before you bring her back to the salon.

Handsome little man sure cleans up nicely! He's always such a sweetheart and loves giving hugs 💖

08/04/2022

Here's a little secret: I *love* grooming doodles! The variety of coats and textures is so fascinating! When you mix two breeds, you really never know what you're going to get! Two dogs from the same litter can have completely different coats and that just makes my inner science geek go wild! And the even crazier part is, their puppy coat can be completely different from their grown up coat!

I *highly* recommend starting grooming early with any doodle mix. If you want to keep them long and fluffy, you have got to brush and comb daily. Their coat can vary wildly from thin and wiry to thick and cottony. Make sure you can get a comb all the way from the root by the skin to the tip of the hair. If you can't get a comb through it, my longer clipper guard attachments can't get through it, which means we'll have to do a short haircut.

I do not and will never do extensive dematting on any dog!!!

Some doodles require daily brushing to maintain any hair over an inch long. If you absolutely can't dedicate that much time to brushing and combing your doodle, then focus on the friction points (arm pits, belly, butt, neck where the collar sits) and anywhere that gets frequent petting (behind the ears, cheeks, top of head, paws).
