Big Paw Spa

Big Paw Spa Big Paw Spa is home of the Bernese Mountain Dog show groom and your puppies introduction to grooming I specialize in grooming Bernese.

I have been grooming Bernese for the dog show world several years now. I am also a Breeder of Bernese Mountain Dogs and know the importance of having your dog professionally groomed, especially your puppy. Your dog will be with me from the time they are dropped off to pick up. I don't place dogs in crates with dryers and leave them unattended. I dry each dog individually by hand with a forced air

professional dryer. Your dog needs to be comfortable in a grooming tub and on a grooming table, and comfortable with the dryer. If you believe your dog has grooming anxiety then I suggest you book your appointment on a Sunday when I can have an assistant present to ensure your dog doesn't injure itself. Choose the service based on your dogs age and grooming requirements. Message me if you have any questions.

Herbert! After his stay at Stonehaven, he’s always ready for a little extra pampering. 🛁

A good bath to wash away all that fun dirt embedded in his coat, followed by a blowout, thorough brush and tidy-up. Now this handsome boy is fresh, fluffy and ready for all the cuddles from his hoomans again! ❤️🐾

This sweet girl had a much-needed spa day today! 🛁✨

It’s been a little while since Penny’s been here, so she got a good deshedding to start before moving on to her regular pampering. Now she’s fresh, fluffy, and feeling fabulous! 💕🐾

Nine-year-old Summer was in for her spa day today. 💕 Such a sweet girl, and still doing wonderfully for a nine-year-old Bernese. She was an absolute sweetheart from start to finish and left feeling fresh, fluffy and fabulous! 🐾✨

Susie & Hobbes 🛁🐾

Today was Susie and Hobbes’s turn for some spa time!

Susie couldn’t wait to get in the tub—and apparently enjoyed it so much that she was more than happy to do it all over again when it was Hobbes’s turn. 😂

Both were wonderfully well behaved and accommodating throughout their spa day. They left nicely fluffed, fresh and looking pretty darn pleased with themselves!

Two very good spa guests. ❤️🐾

Today Alfi had his very first professional groom, and what a character he is! ❤️

This boy absolutely loves water and backyard sprinklers… but apparently baths are a completely different story. 😆 After a brief protest and a little tantrum, he decided cooperation wasn’t such a bad idea, and we were off to enjoy the full spa experience.

Now he’s fresh, fluffed, and looking his best as he heads to the AKC Summer Classic this weekend. Wishing this happy, handsome boy lots of fun in the Baby Puppy competitions. Go show everyone that Bernese charm, Alfi! 🐾💙

Today it was Daisy’s turn for a spa day! Judging by the colour of the bath water, it was definitely time for a freshen-up. 🤭

After a good bath, blow dry, and fluff, she headed home looking beautiful and smelling wonderfully fresh. There’s nothing quite like a clean dog!

Today was a challenging one… and not just because of the dogs (although they certainly had their moments!).

The real battle was the heat and humidity. At 30°C, my poor AC unit was working overtime and barely keeping up. We monitored every dog closely during drying to make sure no one was getting too warm, especially our Saints. Those dense coats seemed determined to hold onto every last drop of moisture, and the deshedding felt like it went on forever.

After many long hours, we accomplished just about everything we set out to do… except Groot’s nails. He decided they were absolutely non-negotiable today and used every pound of himself to make that point. Sometimes you have to know when to wave the white flag and try again another day.

By the end of it, exhaustion had well and truly won. I completely forgot to take photos, so you’ll have to settle for a few favourites from previous visits instead. Tomorrow is another day… and hopefully one with lower humidity!

Sully stopped by this afternoon for a little freshen-up, and after a good brushing session we got him silky smooth and completely tangle-free.

Now he’s all set to hit the lake again, looking ridiculously handsome and ready to charm all the girls. 💙🌊🐾 I have a feeling he’ll be turning more than a few heads.
