The Paw Spa

The Paw Spa is a dog grooming and self-wash shop at 4110 E. Ocean Blvd. in Long Beach, California. Anyone searching for dog boarding in Long Beach should know up front that boarding and daycare are not among the services listed here. This is a place for a bath, a groom, or a quick cleanup, not for overnight care.

What services does The Paw Spa offer?

The Paw Spa lists three services:

• Private self-wash suites owners can rent and use themselves
• Grooming packages, which the business calls affordable
• A retail boutique stocking pet accessories

The self-wash suites are available alongside full-service grooming, so an owner can pick whichever fits the day. Self-wash suits people who would rather handle the bath themselves and skip a full grooming appointment. No prices are published for either service, so cost is a question for the phone.

When is it open?

Hours are 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM Sunday through Friday. Saturday runs longer, from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Those hours hold seven days a week apart from the later Saturday close.

What should owners check before going?

Requirements for dog size, breed, and vaccinations are not listed, so it is worth confirming those by phone before a first visit. Whether grooming needs an appointment is not listed either, which is another good reason to call ahead. Appointments and questions go through (562) 433-1330 or info@thepawspalb.com. The Paw Spa also keeps Facebook and Instagram pages, where the shop posts announcements.
