Paws Place Grooming on Channel Road in Lakeside has anchored the neighborhood's pet-care scene since this location first began servicing animals in 1999, with current ownership continuing the salon's full-service tradition since 2020. The salon doubles as a retail point for flea and tick preventatives — Advantage 2, K-9 Advantix 2, and Frontline Plus — a veterinary-adjacent inventory line typically associated with clinics like Lakeside Veterinary Hospital on Maine Avenue. Dog and cat grooming, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and breed-specific haircuts are performed on a by-appointment basis, with walk-in nail trims and cat claw clips also available. Self-serve DIY dog wash stations equipped with raised tubs and commercial-grade spray nozzles let owners handle routine baths between full grooming cycles. The shop's rescue-animal adoption postings connect Lakeside pet owners with organizations including Lions Tigers & Bears, Alpine's accredited big-cat and bear sanctuary on Martin Way. Grooming stations feature hydraulic lift tables rated for large breeds, with separated feline handling areas that isolate cats from canine sightlines and vocalizations during the grooming process.
