About Us

Welcome to Pawtero — your neighborhood spot for friendly, reliable, and high-quality dog grooming in New Haven and Bridgeport, CT. We’re proud to be a trusted part of the community, offering a warm and welcoming experience for pups and their humans.

Pawtero began as a small grooming salon in New Haven with one simple mission: to make dog grooming a positive, stress-free, and enjoyable experience for every pup. As our neighborhood grew, so did we — and today we’re excited to serve families across Connecticut with two modern, community-focused at two grooming locations.

What makes Pawtero different is our people. Our team of experienced, professional dog groomers takes the time to understand each dog’s needs, personality, and coat type. We specialize in stylish trims, deshedding, skin-and-coat care, puppy grooms, and gentle handling for anxious dogs. Whether you’re searching for “dog groomer near me” or looking for a trusted local salon, we’re here to help your pup look great and feel comfortable.

Both our New Haven and Bridgeport salons are clean, modern, and designed to help dogs feel relaxed from the moment they walk in. We use premium products, safe grooming techniques, and a personal, friendly touch that keeps tails wagging and clients coming back.

Most of all, we love being part of the communities we serve. From chatting with pet parents at pick-up to supporting local events and small businesses, Pawtero is more than a grooming salon — it’s a place where dogs are treated like family and where neighbors become friends.

Thank you for trusting us with your pup. We can’t wait to welcome you to Pawtero in New Haven or Bridgeport!
