The Spanish Springs Grooming Salon is very excited to be the grooming stop at Artown's 14th Annual Art Paws for the several thousand dogs expected this year.  There will be Art Paws $5 nail trims and full-service grooming options at Art Paws!

Known for their Grooming Goddesses, this salon truly caters to canines.  They offer specials for dogs several times a week, including Senior Dog Day, Handi-Cap Dog day, and Matted Mutt Makeovers.  The Spanish Springs Grooming Salon grooming divas love their pets!

 
 A full-service grooming salon, the Spanish Springs Grooming Salon is the original "Spanish Springs Grooming Salon." "Durty dogs done durt cheap!" Owner Elsa Acosta tells us, "No longer on the hill, no more long up hill driveway or long wait at the intersection to make that darn U-turn.  We have been at our new location for a year now, and we're loving it!" 

The Spanish Springs Grooming Salon promises our Art Paws attendees, "If you don't know how to do it, they'll show you how to 'Wash the Dog!'"

What is Art Paws?

The 12th annual Art Paws, part of Reno's Artown, is a PetFolio sponsored charity event. Art Paws donates all of the proceeds from the event to 3 non-profit animal organizations as chosen by PetFolio Magazine's, Reader's Choice Contest.

This, free admission, event is a walk through vendor event, held at McKinley Arts and Cultural Center at 925 Riverside Dr., Reno. It is the ONLY canine friendly event during Artown. Vendors consist of pet products and services, artists and artisans, non-profit animal organizations and various other consumer vendors.

If you are looking for a great bargain on some of the best items, services and products that are available in the Reno area, you will want to check out the Art Paws silent auction. Last year we had more that 75 fantastic items to offer to our attendees. In addition, don't forget to purchase several raffle tickets. Many of our vendors provide us with super raffle prizes as well.

Paw painting has long been one of our best loved attractions, bring out the Picasso in your pet, and take home a masterpiece. If your dog has a unique talent, is super cute or has a fantastic costume or trick, you'll want to sign them up for our "Canine Contests". Fabulous prizes for the winners.
