PET SERVICES Tavo Cruz, Owner
Paw Paw Patch F or more than three decades, Paw Paw Patch has been the place Texarkana trusts with its four-legged family members. Owner Tavo Cruz arrived in the Ark-La-Tex as a teenager from Veracruz, Mexico, and got his start at the shop, bathing dogs and cleaning kennels for its original owners. He never left. Since 1989, he has built Paw Paw Patch into one of the region’s most beloved grooming and boarding businesses. Year after year, he is voted the area’s best groomer. Tavo’s reputation rests on a simple philosophy: know every dog by name and treat each one like your own. Nervous pups relax in his hands, and clients say their dogs come home not just looking their best but happy to have been there. Whether it is a full groom, a bath and trim, or a safe and loving place to stay while you are away, Tavo and his team deliver the kind of care that turns first-time customers into lifelong ones.
