About This Location
We know this address has a difficult history, so we want to address that directly and immediately:
PawsVIP is not affiliated with the prior operator of this space in any way. The previous company shut down after a tragic incident involving the actions of an individual employee.
We signed a new lease only after operations fully ceased, and the location now has entirely new ownership, management, staff, training, and operating standards. The facility has also been completely renovated with new layouts, systems, and safety standards.
