About us

Grooming that treats your pet like family

Because to us, they are.

Our story

A salon built on patience

Pawsitive Salon started with a simple belief: a grooming visit should be something pets enjoy, not endure. We’re a family-run shop in Bakersfield, and every pet that walks through the door is greeted by name — or earns one before they leave.

We take fewer appointments than we could so that nobody feels rushed. That extra breathing room is the whole point: calm dogs, careful work, and owners who trust where they’re leaving their best friend.

What guides us

How we work

Fear-free, always

Gentle handling, plenty of breaks, and never any sedation. We earn trust at your pet’s pace.

Unhurried by design

Fewer pets per day means careful, attentive grooming — not an assembly line.

Gentle on skin

Pet-safe, low-fragrance products chosen for sensitive coats and noses.

Kind words
