SALEM — A new business opened in December in Salem, with Modern Paw Pet Company offering grooming service in addition to a variety of pet products for local dog owners.
Owner Lauren Fox brings several years of dog grooming experience to the new business, having previously worked at a grooming business in Odin before branching out on her own with this new venture.
Fox explained that she took her own dogs to be groomed in Odin and eventually started working there when the owner was looking to train a groomer to join the business.
“Anyone that knew me growing up probably knew that I was going to end up doing something with dogs or animals,” she said.
Modern Paw Pet Company opened at its location at 730 N. Broadway in Salem in early December. The building formerly housed Paradise Flowers and Quinn Realty.
“We do large dogs, medium dogs, small dogs … we offer bathing, brushing, nail trims, ear cleaning, teeth cleaning, haircuts, pretty much anything they would need,” Fox said of the business.
Fox noted that they also offer a variety of items geared toward dog owners.
“I added on the whole retail section because I knew there wasn’t anything in Salem that offered a ton of dog retail stuff,” she said. ”We offer dog mom attire, any kind of toys you can think of, beds, treats, and more.”
While grooming clients are accepted by appointment, Fox explained that the retail store is generally open Wednesday through Friday from noon to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
In addition to Fox, groomer Ashley Featherston also works at Modern Paw Pet Company.
Anyone wanting to make a grooming appointment for their dog can contact them through the Modern Paw Pet Company Facebook page or contact Fox at (618) 267-1186 or Featherston at (618) 315-9457 for more information.
