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.
