About Silky Paws
Silky Paws is a mobile dog salon providing full-service grooming services for dogs 20 pounds and under. The owner-operator, Kay Sir, comes to your home or location with a fully equipped grooming van that is self-contained with no hassle for you.
The company was created after the owner-operator, Kay Sir, noticed a difference in her dog after grooming visits. While exploring different groomers and taking her dog in inconsistently, she noticed a difference not only in his haircuts but in his skin and coat after each visit.
She also happened to be looking for a career change focused on helping people and dogs when she saw this need for a groomer more focused on health than vanity. Being a detail oriented dog-mother herself, and knowing she didn’t want to groom in a salon setting, so she developed Silky Paws Mobile Grooming to she could focus on the health and wellbeing of the dogs she groomed.

Why do you need to see my dog every 4 weeks?
- By 5-6 weeks the dog has a higher likelihood of being matted, and scheduling every 6 weeks doesn’t allow leniency for vacations or emergencies where 6 weeks may turn into 8. This allows for the best possible care and managed wellbeing of the dog.
