Not Just for Haircuts: Cat Grooming & Paws and Relax at Chow Bella

Sep 4

3 min read

When you hear “grooming salon,” you probably picture a dog arriving shaggy and leaving with a fresh haircut and a very fancy bandana.

But there’s a lot more happening at the Chow Bella grooming salon in Saratoga Springs — including services for pets who don't need a haircut at all.

From professional cat grooming to quick nail trims and our growing Paws & Relax nail-care experience, we're making routine pet care a little easier — and hopefully a little less stressful, too.

🐱 Yes, We Groom Cats!

That's right — Chow Bella isn't just for dogs.

We offer cat grooming in Saratoga Springs with Jen, our experienced cat groomer who has been grooming animals for nearly 20 years.

Cats have very different grooming needs than dogs, and regular grooming can be especially helpful for long-haired cats, seniors, cats prone to matting, and those who aren't quite keeping up with their own beauty routine anymore.

Depending on your cat's coat, condition and temperament, services may include:

Brushing and coat maintenance
De-matting
Bathing when appropriate
Sanitary trims
Nail trims
Other maintenance based on your cat's individual needs

Cat grooming is offered by appointment on select days, allowing us to create a calmer environment for our feline guests.

Because let's face it: most cats did not request a room full of enthusiastic dogs during their spa appointment. 😹

🐾 Sometimes They Just Need Their Nails Done

Not every pet needs a full grooming appointment.

Sometimes you just hear click, click, click across the kitchen floor and realize somebody is overdue for a nail trim.

That's where Paws & Relax at Chow Bella comes in.

We're creating an easy, approachable nail-care experience for dogs, cats and other small pets that need a little routine maintenance without booking a full groom.

Our basic nail trim is $20, with additional paw-care and finishing services available depending on your pet's needs.

✨ More Than a Nail Trim

Paws & Relax is our way of making those smaller grooming services feel like an actual service of their own rather than something squeezed in between haircuts.

Depending on your pet, available services may include:

Nail trimming
Nail grinding/Dremel
Paw pad trimming
Paw treatments
Pawdicures
Face, feet and sanitary trims
Ear maintenance
Small-animal nail trims

It's quick, convenient and a whole lot easier than chasing your dog around the living room with a pair of nail clippers.

We know how that story ends.

🐕 Pair a Nail Trim With Playtime

One of our favorite things about having so many services under one roof is that you can make a trip to Chow Bella do double duty.

Coming for Small Dog Social? Breed Club Play? After-Work Zoomies?

Schedule a nail trim around your park visit.

Your dog gets to see their friends, burn off some energy AND leave with shorter nails.

That's a pretty productive playdate.

🐱 And Don't Forget the Cats

We know finding a groomer who is comfortable working with cats isn't always easy.

Having dedicated cat grooming and cat nail-trim services right here in Saratoga Springs gives local cat parents another option for routine coat and nail care without having to visit a traditional dog-focused salon.

If you're unsure what your cat needs, just ask. We can help determine which services make sense based on their coat and individual needs.

💛 Gentle Care Matters

Whether we're working with a dog, cat or tiny critter, our philosophy is the same: patience, respect and gentle handling matter.

Some pets sail through nail trims.

Others would like to formally report us to management for touching a single toe.

We understand both.

Our team takes the time to work with each pet as an individual and make routine grooming as comfortable as possible.

🐾 Come Visit Paws & Relax

Whether your dog needs a quick nail trim before hitting the park, your cat needs some help keeping their coat under control, or you're simply looking for an easier way to stay on top of routine grooming, we're here to help.

Chow Bella offers dog and cat grooming, nail trims and pet grooming services in Saratoga Springs, NY, all under one very dog-friendly — and increasingly cat-friendly — roof.
