When we opened our first Bubbly Paws location in 2011, we wanted to create a new idea for the way grooming salons worked and looked. We put in long hours, drank lots of coffee, and designed the ultimate pet grooming destination. Before we knew it our groomers were booked out several weeks and customers were lining up to use our self-service tubs.

In the following years, we opened 3 additional locations in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul area. Since then we’ve received messages from people around the country wanting to know how to create a dog wash like ours. A random fact is that we even consulted a dog spa in Toulouse, France! Then in 2020 we decided to franchise and would love to talk with you about taking the next step to Bubbly Paws ownership!

Our Services

SELF-SERVICE BATH
We’ve revolutionized the self-service bath customer experience. We provide everything customers need to make their pup look, smell and feel great! We recently have been testing out our “Scrub Club” which has unlimited baths for a low monthly cost.

FULL-SERVICE BATH
The full service bath is designed for dogs that don’t need a full groom, but customers want the Bubbly Paws team to do all the work. This is also a very popular option with grooming clients in between grooms.

GROOMING
The Bubbly Paws groomers go the extra mile to make all the dogs look and feel great. We design the stores to provide a low stress grooming setting. We train the groomers to communicate what is best for the dog and what we can accomplish. At pick up, we also provide a report card to help communicate how the dog did.
