Our Introduction
Our experience counts!
Established in 1997 we began as a small 700 square foot grooming salon .
In 2003 we purchased our current home at 37 Darling Dr. Coldwater, MI and began boarding/ training and daycare services along with our grooming.
Our Groomers... Danyelle (Dany) Stalhood joined us in 2004 and has been with us ever since.
Jennifer Rakoske (Owner) has been grooming in Coldwater since 1993, first working at a local vet clinic, then a pet store and finally opened Golden Paws. Both Dany and Jennifer are Graduates of The MICHIGAN School of Canine Cosmetology in Lansing MI. The 600 hour course was an intense hands on learning course where breed specific cuts were taught, proper handling of both dogs and cats and instructions on client/business relations were also taught.
- We pride ourselves on personal care, our kennel is clean, temperature controlled, our yard is secure and your pet has their own run to sleep in while they are here.
- Our goal is to take care of your pet as though it is our own, to love them and care for them as they would be at home.


Our Activities
Activities and Exercise
We pride ourselves in a very clean kennel. Our dog runs are 4x6 and 6x6, fully heated and air conditioned. The dogs have access to a large exercise yard where they are free to run.
Our fence is 8 ft tall and has a guide wire along the bottom for safety so that no one gets too pushy. There are also 3, 6x12 outdoor runs for use during busy times when we need to allow more dogs outside at once.
Only dogs that are well socialized and pass our temperament testing are allowed to run together in the yard, with supervision.
Our Cats are housed in a separate area, usually in the grooming room where they can be easily cared for and have interactions with people..
We are currently accepting new clients for grooming! Contact us today to set up an appointment.
