Dog Grooming

    Smelly dog?

    With our baths, we can get your dog squeaky clean and fluffy before going home after daycare, dog ranch or boarding.

    Floors getting scratched?

    With our nail trims, we can help you manage your dog’s forever growing nails.

    Offered during daycare and boarding, grooming is done after the hike and requires you to pick up at our daycare facility. We will not do grooming if it will make your dog dislikes Smilin Dogs. Our goal is for your dog to want to visit us!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What dog grooming services do you offer?
    We offer baths and nail trims.
    Do I need to be a daycare or boarding client to book grooming?
    Yes, your dog must be enrolled in our service to come for grooming.
    How much does dog grooming cost?

    How do I book a grooming appointment?
    You can book online in our customer portal, by emailing or calling our office, or simply by asking in person when you drop off your dog for daycare or boarding.
    When during the day is grooming done?
    Grooming is done throughout the day depending on your pickup time. We ask that you let us know when you will be picking up, and we will do our best to time your dog’s bath so that they are clean and dry when you arrive.
    What if my dog does not tolerate grooming well?
    We are foremost a daycare and boarding facility and want our dogs to have a positive association with coming to visit us. Because of that, we will not force a dog who is adamant about not participating. We will instead try to work with treats and encourage them to get comfortable with the process. This can mean only doing some nails the first few times or not getting completely dry with the dryer. If your dog has a phobia, we may recommend a vet grooming, since they can use medications to ease your dog’s appointment.

    Our happy dog parents say it best.
