Pet Stylist
Aleecia began her grooming career in 2023 through the Smoochie Pooch training program, graduating in 2024. Inspired by her mother’s transition from the medical field to grooming, she quickly fell in love with the craft. She strives to balance efficiency with delivering exceptional results, with a special fondness for grooming Golden Retrievers.
At home, Aleecia has two dogs—Louie, a Havanese, and Winchester, a Rottweiler—as well as a playful kitten, Mo. She enjoys walks with her dogs, who love playing in the sandpit, while Mo prefers toys and long naps.
Aleecia grooms in honor of a beloved childhood dog, pouring that love into every pet she cares for. She wants customers to know that grooming is a skill requiring patience, learning, and dedication to both pets and their owners.
Pet Stylist
Hanna is a passionate and skilled groomer dedicated to making every dog look and feel their best. Inspired by her late black lab, Spike, she chose grooming to help dogs of all ages and conditions. With certification in pet CPR and first aid, she takes time to build trust with each pet, ensuring a positive experience. Labs hold a special place in her heart, but she loves working with all breeds.
Outside of Smoochie Pooch, she spends time with her American Staffordshire Terrier, Winnie, and her cat, Tuck—often playing tug-of-war or fetch. Hanna finds true joy in seeing both pets and their owners happy, making her career incredibly rewarding.
At Smoochie Pooch, you can choose from two grooming options. Our Complete Groom includes a bath, nail trim, ear cleaning, brush out, and a full-body haircut. If you’re looking for something simpler, our Basic Groom includes bath, nail trim, ear clean, brush out, and trimming only of the face, feet, and potty areas. You also have the option of adding on additional services.
The answer to this question really depends on the breed of your dog, their lifestyle, and sometimes their age. Ideally, all dogs should be groomed every six to eight weeks to support their overall health and avoid matting. Regular grooming is a proactive step towards ensuring healthy skin, nails, ears, and coat.
Your dog should be booked in for a haircut if you notice their coat is looking dull and feeling overly oily or dry. Additionally, should you notice any tangles, mats, or hot spots or can smell an undesirable odor coming from their coat or fur, it’s time to make an appointment.
A double-coated dog has an outer layer of thicker hair and a different undercoat of thin, lighter hair. While this is often breed-specific, our highly trained breeders can recognize coats of all types and then groom accordingly. Double coated dogs can require extra time and attention so that their undercoat is fully brushed and doesn’t develop mats.
Prices are based on various factors such as breed, size, behavior, and condition of the coat. Clients also have the option of adding on additional services such as anal gland expression, shed relief, or deep conditioning. We can provide a quote over the phone and then provide a more accurate price at the time of your appointment.
Dog grooming refers to the hygienic care and cleaning of a dog. While some dog grooming can be completed at home, professional dog grooming is done by trained professionals that know how to properly care for a dog’s coat, nails, ears, and skin. Dogs of all breeds benefit from regular professional grooming.
Groomers have many tools that help keep dogs still during their appointment. As trained professionals, they know how to keep pets calm and comfortable, which helps dogs relax and move around less. In addition, our grooming tables have a non-slip surface, and a loop restraint (similar to a leash) may be used around a dog’s neck, if necessary.
What happens during a dog grooming appointment will largely depend on the service you have booked. A basic groom will include a bath, nail trim, ear cleaning, brush out, and a hair trim around the face, feet, and potty areas. You can book a more complete groom as well as additional services such as toothbrushing or skin therapy.
It’s important to keep your pet groomed for their own sanitation and hygiene. Not only will their physical appearance be improved, but they’ll avoid painful matting, overgrown nails, and other health complications. In addition, there are several studies that show that regular grooming can improve your dog’s mood and health.
The average cost for a standard groom is approximately $65, but please note that there are so many variables that affect the price of grooming your dog. A dog’s size, its coat type, how long it’s been since its last groom, and many other factors go into the final price you may expect to pay for dog grooming.
