Why Designer Paws Salon why was this picked
Designer Paws on Fishinger Road is the flagship salon, with a sister shop in Westerville, and it grooms cats in a separate cat-only room with its own low-noise dryers. Each pet gets one competition-trained groomer, and an award wall shows ribbons from national grooming shows. A hydro-massage bath with warm recirculating water helps loosen mats, and dogs wait in private dry kennels rather than stacked ones. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with online booking anytime.
- One competition-trained groomer per pet
- Hydro-massage bath for mats
- Cat-only grooming room
Know before you go
Designer Paws Salon on Fishinger Road is the Upper Arlington grooming room we book when a dog or cat needs one-on-one competition-trained work. Full grooms, bath-and-brush, hand stripping, and a dedicated cat-only room sit in the same suite. It suits first-time salon visits and pets that need a calmer table than a high-volume kennel floor.
Hours run Tuesday through Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Book online or by phone; nail-only visits are available without a full groom. Park free on site at 2824 Fishinger Road in Upper Arlington.
