Paws & Effect Pet Spa is a styling salon that provides full-service grooming, special treatments, and retail adornments. Uniquely focused on treating pets as family members, they are aligned with the philosophy of placing a priority on each pet's health and well-being. Many of the retail offerings are organic, including products with biodegradable materials, less packaging and natural ingredients.
Paws & Effect Pet Spa’s mission is to have as little impact on the earth as possible, by providing excellent services and products that do not harm the environment or animals in their care, bringing joy to them and their families.
To support Santa Monica’s Climate Action & Adaptation Plan, they opted in for the Clean Power Alliance’s (CPA) 100% Green Power tier via SoCal Edison utility. Paws & Effect signed up for Edison’s online tools to track water and energy usage in order to respond as soon as sudden rises occur.
To bathe pets safely and efficiently, Paws & Effect uses a concentrated shampoo and conditioner with natural non-toxic ingredients that dispenses directly into the nozzle. Their High Efficiency (HE) laundry machine uses less water than standard washers. To maintain good indoor air quality and minimize the use of harsh disinfectants, Paws & Effect’s general cleaning is performed with a peroxide based cleaner and Green Seal Certified Sustainable Earth multi-purpose cleaner made by Staples.
They work closely with local partners to support animal related causes and the Santa Monica community. Paws & Effect has been a finalist for the annual Buy Local Santa Monica campaign's Most Loved Business Award in the Pet Services category for several years in a row!
