Westerville, OH

Your Westerville Dog & Cat Grooming Salon

Designer Paws Salon at 5991 Maxtown Road is our northeast Columbus grooming location, serving pet families across Westerville, Polaris, Worthington, and the north suburbs. Every dog and cat gets one-on-one attention from an award-winning, competition-trained groomer — no rotating stylists, no rushed appointments, no shared tubs.

What’s Inside Our Westerville Salon

• Dedicated cat-only grooming room — separated from the dog salon floor, with its own low-noise drying setup. Cat clients never see or hear a dog during their visit.
• Hydro-massage bath station — warm recirculating water that reaches down to the skin, better for loosening mats and calming anxious pets than a standard tub.
• Individual dry kennels — every dog has their own quiet space while waiting or drying. No stacked kennels, no shared drying areas.
• Competition-trained team — the same training, standards, and breed expertise as our Upper Arlington salon, delivered by a groomer team who knows the north-side clients.
• Curated retail — premium shampoos, brushes, and treats our groomers actually use on their own pets.

Grooming Services at Our Westerville Salon

• Full-service dog grooming — breed-specific haircuts on every coat type, from doodle scissor trims to double-coat carding.
• Cat grooming — lion cuts, comb-outs, bathing, and mat removal in our dedicated cat-only room.
• Hand stripping — the traditional technique for terriers and wire-coated breeds that preserves coat texture and color. One of the few Central Ohio salons still doing this properly.
• Creative grooming — pet-safe color and artistic styling from groomers with competition experience.
• Bath & brush-out — hydro-bath, hand drying, nail trim, ear cleaning, and sanitary trim.
• Puppy Package — gentle, confidence-building first-groom experience for puppies under 5 months.
