Wipe Your Paws Dog Grooming

Kelly has been grooming our dog since she was a puppy and does a fantastic job. Kelly is super thorough and manages to calm our overly social dog down enough to groom her perfectly every time. I would not take my dog to anyone else in State College to get groomed.

Let me start off by saying Kelly was our saving grace when it came to grooming Miya. Miya was aggressive and anxious even when we tried touching her paws. We couldn’t bathe her without her screaming and thrashing around. We were reluctant to try another groomer after we had a terrible experience at Petco. She reviewed our case and talked with us extensively about things we should do before our first appointment. Miya needed medicated and muzzled when we first started grooming with Kelly. Over the past two years Kelly has worked with Miya (and us) and we could not be more thankful. She is finally off medication before she goes to Kelly and doesn’t even need a muzzle anymore! Kelly is also wonderful about communicating with appointments and pick-up times and also sends reminders about when Miya’s appointments are! She gets groomed every 6 weeks and is beautiful each time! If you are looking for a well trained and professional groomer for your dog Kelly is the one!

Kelly has been an integral part of turning the overweight and severely neglected "fixer pupper" Brussels Griffon that I adopted a year ago into the happy, healthy, handsome boy he is today. I had never had a dog that required grooming before, but I knew Kelly and how fastidious she was about her work. When we got Willie, Kelly wasn't working due surgery recovery, so we weren't able to get him groomed right away. However, a day or two after we brought him home, my husband realized that Willie's toenails were grown around into his paw pads and hurting him. The animal shelter where we adopted him hadn't even bothered to bath him or clip his toenails. When Kelly saw a picture on social media, she had my husband bring Willie in right away so she could cut his nails even though she wasn't physical able to bath or trim him. It took several grooming cycles to get his coat and nails in decent shape again, and her care has been an important part of his recovery.

Kelly is the only person I will ever trust to groom my dog! She offers a full-service experience that considers your dog's whole health. She is professionally trained and extremely skilled. She knows what she's doing! She also runs an immaculate shop. My dog loves Kelly and never looks cleaner or cuter than when she's fresh from Wipe Your Paws! UPDATE: I just read some of the negative reviews complaining about the cancellation policy. Kelly is really clear about her policy, and she calls every single client with a reminder the day before their appointment. It's tough for micro-businesses to compete with national chains. Small business owners can't make payroll, for themselves or their employees, if clients don't show up. That's not selfishness, that's survival. We should support our small businesses, because unlike PetCo, Kelly is our neighbor! Plus, she's great!

Kelly is amazing. If she has an opening, do not hesitate to take it! She called us when she had a cancellation and was able to get us in the next day! We are new pup parents and our recently adopted toy poodle, Alfredo, had never been to a groomer before, so Kelly made sure to thoroughly go through everything with us and go slowly with Fred to make sure he didn't get scared with his history of abuse. Alfredo is much more comfortable with his summer cut now and he is so happy going outside without getting overheated. He almost didn't even want to get back in the car with me to come home since he seemed to have such a great experience with Kelly! We are extremely pleased and will definitely be back :)
