Cat Grooming in Crown Point is available in our mobile grooming vans only.
Add teeth brushing, deshed treatment, anal gland expression, hair coloring, nail polish and more to your grooming session.
Our skilled pet stylist will assess your pet’s health, skin and coat, offering personalized recommendations. This consultation is a great time for pet owners to ask questions and make requests regarding any haircut preferences or specialized services.
During the relaxing bath, each dog is shampoo’d and conditioned with products mixed specifically for their coat type. A relaxing massage makes bath time a favorite for pups during their session!
If requested, we’ll brush your dog’s teeth, perform a gentle anal gland expression, begin a deshed treatment or even dye your pet’s hair color during the bath.
Dogs are patted dry with a towel before beginning the blow-drying process. Ears are covered with a soft cloth to decrease noise and anxiety. Our variable-intensity dryers also allow groomers to decrease air speed for sensitive or anxious pets.
Every pet will receive a brush-out consistent with its needs. Depending on coat type and condition, time can vary greatly is this area.
All dogs will get a nail trim and Dremel filing during their spa treatment, as tolerated by the dog.
Dremeling is a more natural way of trimming your pet’s nails and allows us to ensure they are as short as possible and without cracking or splitting the nail.
Your pet’s ears are cleaned using a gentle pet-safe ear solution, and ear hair can be plucked or shaved out by request.
All grooming packages include a light hair trimming of the face, feet and “potties” (as needed). Full haircuts are also available for dogs receiving a Complete groom.
Our pet stylists specialize in breed-specific trims and will happily note your preferences regarding hair styling!
After their trim, pets will be freshened with perfume/cologne and may be given a bow or bandana to wear home. If you wish to skip the cologne, just let us know.
If desired, add-ons such as temporary hair color or nail polish may be applied as well.
These services are available in addition to a grooming package. Learn more about add-ons.

Different breeds do have different grooming needs, but in general, your dog should be booked in for a haircut if you notice that their coat looks dull. In addition, should you notice any matted fur, hair restricting their ears, eyes, or paw pads, or that their fur feels sticky or slick, it’s best to book them in for a grooming appointment as soon as you can. Not only will regular grooming help them look their best, but it will help them feel their best too.
Every dog is unique, which means their grooming needs are too. Depending on their fur or hair type, as well as their age and lifestyle, you may need to groom your dog as often as every six weeks. It’s best to speak to your local groomer to discuss your dog’s particular needs. Although short-haired dogs may not need a full haircut as frequently as other types of dogs, regular grooming such as a bath, nail trim, ear cleaning, and trimming of potty areas would still be required regularly.
At Smoochie Pooch, we offer several dog grooming options at varying price points. A typical full groom includes a bath, nails trimmed, ear cleaning, and a cut that can either be breed-specific or styled to your preference. In addition to these standard options, we also offer skin therapy treatments, shed relief, teeth brushing, and mineral hydration. We’d be happy to chat with you about your dog’s needs and tell you more about our grooming options and how they can benefit your pet.
Our dog groomers are all highly trained and specifically learn how to properly complete breed-specific grooming. As such, their knowledge and expertise allow them to determine whether a dog has a single or double coat and then groom them accordingly. While certain breeds are known for their double coats, our team will assess each pet to determine if there is an undercoat as well as what type of fur or hair is present. Being knowledgeable about a dog’s coat will help ensure they get the proper grooming treatment that best suits their needs.
There are many factors that determine the cost of dog grooming. From the size of the dog, the condition of their hair or fur, how long it’s been since their last groom, and their behavior, it’s not possible to provide a one size fits all cost for dog grooming. Once you provide the details of your grooming needs and we’ve been able to assess your pet, we can provide an estimate for the cost. We can provide details on additional services that may benefit your pet, and these can be completed at your discretion.
We are a family-owned pet grooming business serving Florida, Indiana, Kentucky & South Carolina. Our trained and skilled professionals provide the highest quality service and care in the pet industry.
