Paws on Route

Fluff Level: 100% | Drama Level: Only When the Bow Falls Off

Meet Daisy, our Friday floofball and official Paws on Route diva-in-residence!
She’s a Bichon Frisé, but let’s be real—she’s a Bich-on-point.

Today, she’s rocking a ✂️ modified Bichon cut—a little less p**f for easy maintenance, but still serving that classic cloud couture. Think "runway ready," but she can also roll in the grass without needing a 3-hour spa day after.

Her demands were simple:

1. Keep the fabulous.

2. Add the flower.

3. Don’t touch the bow.

Daisy knows she’s the main character—and honestly, we’re just here to fluff and admire.

Stay fabulous, stay fluffy, and remember:
If Daisy can serve looks on a Friday, so can you!

Paws on Route – where every dog’s a star, even if they steal our grooming scissors.

🌸 Throwback Thursday 🌸

To one of our most loyal families – the Van der Hoef family!

From Bo-Dorp to Bos en Dal, this wonderful family has journeyed with us for over 11 years. Through the years, we’ve had the honour of saying heartfelt goodbyes to their beloved senior spaniels, and just as many joyful hellos to the rescues they’ve lovingly welcomed into their home.

Your unwavering support, kindness, and love for dogs have meant the world to us. 💛

Thank you, Van der Hoef family, for being such a big part of our story. Families like yours are the reason Paws on Route is where it is today. 🐾

🌸🐾 Monday Motivation brought to you by… Ash the Fluff Queen! ❄️💙

This majestic beauty is Ash – a Siberian Husky with a cloud-soft white & grey coat and eyes that could freeze time (or at least convince us to give her one more treat 😄).

She’s been part of the Paws on Route family for years, and while she might take 2 hours to dry and 3.5 hours to groom… every minute is worth it for this ice princess. 💁‍♀️✨

Ash reminds us that grace takes time, and that some of the most beautiful things in life (like a fully fluffed Husky) require patience, love, and a very good dryer. 💨🐶

So whatever your Monday looks like, take a deep breath, fluff up, and face the day like Ash — with a sparkle in your eye and enough sass to keep things interesting! 💪🐾

Fluff Friday Feature: Stoffel the Style Star!
Say hello to Stoffel, our dashing little Wire Hair Fox Terrier who knows how to strike a pose!
His mom believes in starting grooming young — and just look at that paw-some result!

Stoffel says:
"Start ‘em early and you’ll never have a bad hair day!"

Because good hair doesn’t happen by accident… it happens by appointment!

Happy Friday, fur-iends!

Bow Down to the Doodle Diva!

Introducing the one and only Miss Sass and Fluff herself – this stylish Labradoodle came to Paws on Route and left serving "main character energy."

With that perfectly tousled coat and the cutest pink bow in town, she’s giving Disney princess vibes with just a hint of “I will absolutely roll in a puddle five minutes after this photo.”

She’s sweet, she’s sassy, and she knows how to work a runway (or a grooming table).

Tell us what her runway name should be!
We’re thinking:
A) Furryoncé
B) Doodle Lipa
C) Hairy Styles
Drop your pick below!

Bell’s Beauty Break!

This is Bell – and yes, she knows she’s gorgeous.
She dropped by Paws on Route for her pamper session and left looking like the cover girl for “Lab Life Weekly.”

With eyes that say “I love you” and a head tilt that can get her anything she wants (including your sandwich), Bell has perfected the art of being irresistible.

She’s sleek, shiny, and slightly dramatic if you don’t tell her she’s a good girl at least five times a day.

Would you give up your spot on the couch for Bell?
React with a YES or drop a “Good Girl, Bell!” in the comments!
(And bonus points if you think she should be on a calendar – we’re thinking Miss October.)

Friday Feels with Benjie!

Meet Benjie – our dapper little gentleman who strutted into Paws on Route for a fresh winter trim... and left looking like he’s ready to host his own talk show.

Miniature schnauzer? More like maximum charm!
With those expressive brows and a beard that says “I take my squirrel patrol very seriously”, Benjie is clearly the CEO of Cuteness.

He’s fluffed, fabulous, and fully prepared to judge your snack choices from across the room.

Stay warm, stay waggy – and remember:
if your beard doesn’t match Benjie’s, is it even winter-ready?

Feeling a little scruffy this Friday? Don’t worry—so is Enzo, and he’s still fabulous.

Meet Enzo, our dapper Schnauzer with a beard that says,
“Yes, I do run a successful doggy business and sip puppuccinos on the weekend.”

Schnauzers are known for their distinguished looks and serious expressions,
but don’t be fooled—behind that beard is a heart full of zoomies and snuggles!

Friday mood:
Acting important, secretly waiting for snacks.

Have a fur-tastic weekend, friends!
Give your dog a beard scratch from Enzo!
