ALL ABOUT US

Paws-A-While is owned and operated by Alex Brown, his partner Leo Chamberlain, and their dog Bagel. Alex started his grooming career in February 2017 as a bather for a salon in Austin, Texas after spending most of his life obsessed with dogs of all shapes and sizes. After spending nearly 2 years being a bather and taking care of daycare and boarding, Alex was offered the opportunity to begin training to become a groomer. Training under a Master Groomer who is well known in the Greater Austin, Texas area, Alex truly excelled and thrived in the grooming environment. Quickly gaining a loyal group of pet parents asking for him by name.  After moving to Michigan to be closer to family, Alex continued his grooming career here in Central Michigan. Treating his clients, human and otherwise, with incredible care and knowledge, Alex flourished in the small-town atmosphere and provided Big City quality with a small-town personality. When it came time for his boss to retire, he took the opportunity to secure a shop and thus created Paws-A-While Pet Services. 

 Paws-A-While opened its doors in October 2022 to close friends and family before having a grand opening in November 2022. As of April 2023, we have 2 groomers, 2 bathers, 1 receptionist, and so many fantastic clients. Paws-A-While Pet Services is our vision for providing pet pampering to the Central Michigan area. We hope to help pet parents get on a proper schedule for all their pet needs and provide a trustworthy face in the Central Michigan Dog Owner Community.
