Queen City Paw Spa

Highly recommend! My golden retriever gets a nervous around groomers, but he took to Gwen immediately. I so appreciated her compassionate approach -- he seemed entirely untraumatized by the whole experience.

Gwen did the MOST amazing job with my rescue Blue. He was very shy and nervous after being adopted by me only weeks before our appointment. He was in pretty bad shape after being neglected by the person using him as a breeder. Her space is comforting and relaxed with your pet or pets being the only ones there. She even let me bring in the dog I was dog sitting for emotional support instead of having him wait in the car. She was so sweet and patient with him and he looked fabulous at the end. He is so much more comfortable in the heat, and looks like a cozy little baby. 100/10. Highly recommend. Before and after photos ☺️

What a great experience! Zoey is a VERY reactive Boxer. Gwen immediately focused on making her feel secure and safe. We were there for a nail trim and it went without any of the usual growling, whining, or snapping we've had with Zoey in the past. Nail trims and grooming with be a regular thing for Zoey and our other Boxer, Jasper. Two Paws Up!

absolutely terrific job with my dog! The cut looks amazing and there was a ridiculous amount of hair that came out of him so she did an excellent job thoroughly de-shedding him, I have a long hair dog so he is not an easy groom, asked about specifics and executed what I was envisioning perfectly! Give specific details after the cut to and my dog seemed perfectly happy and chill when I got back and he looks freaking amazing! Will absolutely be returning and booking again, also VERY fair prices for an AMAZING job and being An independent businesses owner and handing everything that entails herself !!!

Hands down best dog groomer in Vermont! Truly in awe at how amazing Gwen is at creating a warm, calm, and happy environment at Queen City Paw Spa. My pup Sadie was always anxious with previous groomers but is completely different with Gwen- she is literally wagging her tail the whole time! What I love most is Gwen’s holistic approach in fostering your pups tolerance threshold and never ever pushing past their comfort level. She is quite literally a dog whisperer and we are so lucky to have found her- not to mention Sadie has never looked (or smelt) better :)
