Every dog grooming package includes:
Pets needing a full haircut will receive a Complete Grooming Package.
Dogs needing less than a full haircut will receive our Basic Grooming Package. If needed, we’ll trim their face, feet and sanitary area. Let us know if you need a little extra scissoring, and we’ll work our magic!
The following services may be added to a dog grooming package.
If your dog needs a nail trim but not a grooming appointment, bring them in any day we’re open for a walk-in appointment. We take special care with each trim, buffing to smooth rough edges and help prevent splitting. All other grooming services are by appointment only.
Stop by on Mondays for our “Manicure Monday” special—nail trims are just $13 (normally $20)!
At Smoochie Pooch, we take pride in our high standards of customer service. We’re always here to answer your questions, address concerns, and offer tips and suggestions to support your pet’s care both during their stay and once they’re back home.
We know that grooming can be stressful for both pets and their owners, and we’re committed to making the experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible for you and your dog. Our focus is on quality over quantity. And while we love making dogs look fabulous, we always prioritize your pet’s safety and well-being over their appearance.
Each grooming appointment is customized to fit your pet’s unique needs, so the cost of a groom can vary based on several factors. To get an estimate, give us a call at (352) 333-3100 and tell us a bit about your pet, such as their breed, size, age and the grooming services you’d like. We’ll provide an initial quote, but please note that the final price may be adjusted after we see your pet in person at the appointment.
Before every appointment, we take the time to learn about your preferences and your pet’s individual needs to provide a grooming experience you’ll both enjoy. Plan for each session to last about 2-3 hours, giving us the time needed to care for your pet with the attention and gentle skill they deserve.
While we strive to complete each grooming within three hours, sessions for larger dogs or those with matted coats may take a bit longer to ensure their safety and comfort.
Each pet is given individualized care and attention. To ensure your pet’s safety while with us, all dogs are kept separate unless they come from the same family and are brought in together.
Pet Stylist
Ashlyn began her grooming career in January 2016, inspired by a lifelong connection to animals and a family legacy in the pet grooming industry. Growing up, she often joined her mom, a former vet tech and groomer’s assistant, at work, sparking her love for animal care. Initially aspiring to become a veterinarian, Ashlyn discovered her true passion while working as a bather nine years ago and never looked back.
Known for her love of doodles, Ashlyn takes pride in tailoring her grooming techniques to suit each dog’s unique needs. Her goal is to ensure every pet is happy and comfortable during their time with her, and she’s even been known to host impromptu dance parties with her furry clients. She looks forward to expanding her expertise by becoming pet CPR certified and completing a canine esthetician course, with hopes of debuting in the grooming show ring in 2025.
At home, Ashlyn enjoys outdoor adventures and cozy nights with her three dogs: Olivia, a Jack Russell/Pug mix; Sage, a Husky/Pitbull mix; and Spirit, a Miniature Poodle. Whether visiting the dog park, relaxing at the beach, or gardening, Ashlyn treasures her time with her pets.
Ashlyn wants her clients to know that regular grooming is vital for their pet’s health. Beyond making them look their best, it allows her to notice subtle changes in their skin, coat, or behavior. Her dedication to providing exceptional care ensures that every pet leaves her salon happy, healthy, and looking their best.

At home, Megan shares her life with three dogs—Elvis Presley, a Pitbull mix; Genesis, a German Shepherd; and Gunner, a German Shepherd mix—as well as a unique collection of 12 hermit crabs. Life on her 7-acre property is full of adventures, from watching her dogs run freely to enjoying outings at the park and indulging in pup cups.
Megan has a soft spot for Pitbulls and German Shepherds but loves all breeds. Her goal is to expand her knowledge of different breeds to better assist coworkers and customers alike. As a child, she dreamed of becoming a teacher and has always valued making a difference. If she weren’t in customer service, Megan would pursue another career involving animals.
She wants customers to know that the grooming team truly cares about every pet’s comfort and well-being, ensuring each visit is as special as possible.
Bather
Tierria began her career in pet grooming in 2024, starting as a dog bather with the goal of becoming a full groomer. Her lifelong love for animals and passion for their care inspired her to pursue this rewarding profession. Tierria has a special fondness for pitbulls and misunderstood breeds but enjoys working with dogs of all types.
At home, she cares for a lively family of six pets, including her dogs Otis, a Corgi mix; Benny, a Hound mix; and Yzma, a Cane Corso, as well as her three cats—Chi Chi and Snow, Siamese sisters, and Pan, a rescue kitten. Outside of work, Tierria enjoys gardening, scuba diving, and reading.
Tierria is dedicated to creating a calm and reassuring experience for every dog she works with, prioritizing their comfort and safety. She wants customers to know that regular grooming is vital for a dog’s overall health and helps prevent skin and coat issues.

Pet Stylist & Certified Canine Esthetician
Laura has been grooming professionally since 2017 and is a graduate of the Merryfield School of Pet Grooming. She is also a Certified Canine Esthetician, with a passion for tailoring her services to the unique needs of each pet. Laura values continuing education to stay current with the latest trends and techniques in the grooming industry, ensuring she provides the best care possible. Her journey began with a deep love for animals, volunteering at shelters and humane societies, and working as a Kennel Technician. Through assisting groomers with bathing and handling, she discovered her calling and completed an apprenticeship to begin her grooming career. Laura especially enjoys grooming mini poodles and poodle mixes, appreciating their versatility and charm.
At home, Laura spends her time with her 10-year-old cattle dog mix, James, who loves long walks, fetch, and amusingly “herding” the vacuum cleaner. She cherishes the trust her clients place in her and is dedicated to fostering strong relationships with both pets and their owners.
As a child, Laura dreamed of becoming a dolphin trainer but later found joy in creating art and considered a career in technical theatre designing and building sets. If she weren’t a groomer, she might have pursued that creative path. Laura wishes every pet owner understood the importance of regular grooming to help pets feel comfortable and confident during the process.
