Our story

Puffy Paws Pet Salon is where pet grooming in Corvallis, Oregon meets love, care, and style.

 

Puffy Paws was born from a dream to bring joyful, compassionate pet care to the heart of Oregon. After nearly a decade in the grooming industry, we made the leap from managing busy salons in Seattle to creating something more soulful and community-rooted.

​

Proudly women-owned and deeply connected to the Corvallis small business community, our mission is to provide the finest bathing and grooming experience for pets and their families in Corvallis and the surrounding Willamette Valley.

​

With years of experience leading top-tier salons and pampering thousands of pets, we envisioned a space that blended professional expertise with a little bit of magic.

​

Today, Puffy Paws is a vibrant salon where every pet is treated like the radiant, one-of-a-kind being they are. We’re here to make grooming feel good — for pets and their people.​​

Convenient downtown Corvallis location

The Harding Building

Our salon is proudly located in the Harding Building, a true landmark in downtown Corvallis. Built in 1910, it was the first major commercial building on 3rd Street and helped shape the city’s business district into what it is today. For nearly fifty years, it was home to Nolan’s Department Store, one of Corvallis’ most beloved shopping destinations.

 

Architecturally striking and full of character, the Harding Building still holds bits of its history — including the original bank vault right here in our salon! It’s a unique reminder that our space has been part of the community’s story for over a century.
