About Me
My name is Melina McGeoghean and I have always loved dogs when I found dog grooming 8 years ago I knew it was my forever passion! I created Holistic Paws with the hopes of being a progressive and innovative member of the pet industry! I love animals because they live in the moment, they are very intuitive and always put love first! I think we can all learn from and appreciate their wisdom, love and affection, I want to create an environment where that philosophy is celebrated!
As a holistic groomer it is my commitment to only use the best quality products, create a comfortable, safe, and happy environment, and provide optimal health for the dog’s body, mind and soul!
Building a loving bond that will last a lifetime!

Q &A
What is house call dog grooming?
What are the benefits of Holistic, house call grooming?
What will you be bringing into my home? Will it be messy?

Take the anxiety and stress out of bringing and leaving your pet in a salon! Perfect for elderly, anxious and nervous pets, parents who work from home or those who love the luxury of convenience!
Quality groom provided by a professional. Stress-free environment to keep your pet calm, safe and happy. One on one services to build trust between groomer and pet.

I will be bringing my backpack, my toolbox and table.
I will bring cleaning supplies and my vacuum to leave your home cleaner than the way I found it! Please make sure the area is clear of unnecessary items, to make setting up and cleaning easier.
Important Info:
Rabies Certificate must be sent over before grooming date, it is required by law!
You would need to be present for the first groom to meet myself and show me where you would like me to set up and groom! I do ask if you have to leave for any reason make sure your tab is paid before doing so!
You can absolutely check in on your pet! Durning the bathing process would be best, once I start grooming and the scissors come out, I ask you give your pet and I enough space to focus on each other!
Aggressive Pets
It can be very understandable for dogs not to like certain parts of the grooming process, but if a dog is becoming extremely territorial or overly shy and trying to bite before the grooming process service will be denied. May be subject to a cancelation fee!
Will not be providing flea treatments or baths. As i travel house to house I need to be mindful of what i am bringing into other clients homes and cleaniness of tools!
There will be a $30 dollars charge if fleas are found
Please Cancel within 24 hours prior to appointment. Reminder texts will be sent out 3 days before appointment and day before!
After 2 no shows you will not be able to rebook!
