REXBURG — Spaws Grooming sparked a wave of enthusiasm among local pet lovers after it quietly opened in Rexburg at the end of August.
Jon Faldmo and Thomas Mecham started Spaws Grooming with a passion for pets and the goal of providing convenient, inexpensive options for washing, drying and cutting their furry friends.
When you enter the shop, professional groomers are ready to provide top-notch services, including haircuts and baths. The twist is that Spaws also offers a self-service option for those who prefer a more DIY approach.
“Self-serve grooming is perfect for those who want to be hands-on with their pet’s care,” says Faldmo. “Traditional grooming provides a professional touch for those with busy schedules or specific needs.”
Dog parents have been enthusiastic about the combination, and word-of-mouth referrals have helped Spaws grow quickly. In fact, Faldmo recently said they hired another groomer to help keep up with demand.
Faldmo said the store’s services are important for pets.
“Grooming plays an important role in maintaining the overall health and well-being of the pet,” says Faldmo. “(It) is important to prevent issues like mats, skin infections and other health issues. Groomed dogs are happier, healthier, and more comfortable, which can improve their quality of life.”
Spaws has yet to have an official grand opening and may never have.
“We had plans to have a grand opening,” Faldmo said. “But since opening, we’ve been so busy that we’ve put that on the back burner for now.”
Spaws Grooming is located at 24 Carlson in Rexburg Business hours are 10 am to 6 pm Monday through Friday, and 8 am to 4 pm on Saturdays. For more information about the services offered, visit its website.
