Our pet-centered approach to grooming is focused around a fabulous experience that ends in an even more fabulous groom! We take the time before every appointment to discuss your preferences and pet’s needs so we can be sure to give them an amazing groom that you and they will love. Please allow for around 2-3 hours per pet appointment to allow us the time to take care of your pet with the kindness and gentle skill they deserve.
We try very hard to stick to three hours or less. With large or matted dogs, however, it may take a little longer to groom them safely and efficiently.
Each dog is kept in a safe and sanitized personal kennel according to the AKC Safe Salon standards when they are not being groomed. This is not only to maintain a sanitary salon space, but for their safety as well as the safety of any other dogs in the salon at the same time. We pride ourselves on maintaining a safe, sanitary and comfortable space for all dogs on and off the grooming table.
Each pet is pampered with individual attention. Unless a family has multiple pets that come in together, all dogs will be separated.
Pet Stylist
Kennedy began grooming in 2023 and is eager to earn more certifications to enhance her skills. A lifelong animal lover, she always dreamed of working with dogs and is grateful to have found her passion in grooming. She especially enjoys deshedding and lightly trimming Australian Shepherds and Golden Retrievers, particularly shaping their signature fluffy rear ends.
At home, Kennedy has a cuddly gray cat named Charlie, whose favorite pastime is snuggling with her after work.
She wants customers to know that she treats every pet as if they were her own, always prioritizing their comfort. She also emphasizes the importance of regular brushing, especially for long-haired breeds, and encourages pet owners to research grooming needs before bringing a new dog into their home.
Pet Stylist
Chastity began her grooming career in 2009, initially working as a bather before discovering her passion for grooming. She is PetTech CPR/First Aid certified and deeply enjoys working with animals. While her favorite breeds to groom are Shih Tzus and doodles, she appreciates the opportunity to work with any fluffy coat.
At home, Chastity shares her life with five pets: Two-Face (pitbull), Charlee (yorkie mix), June (pit mix), and two cats, River and Cubby. The dogs enjoy walks, car rides, and cuddling with the family.
One key aspect Chastity wishes every customer understood is the importance of applying the grooming advice provided. While groomers care for their pets, they also offer guidance that makes the grooming process easier and more comfortable for both the pet and groomer.
Pet Stylist
Madelynn began her grooming journey in 2022 as a bather and transitioned to grooming in 2024. Driven by her passion for working with animals, she realized grooming was a better fit for her than her childhood dream of becoming a veterinarian. Her love for grooming sparked when she shadowed a professional at a pet salon for a high school project. She particularly enjoys grooming larger breeds.
Madelynn has a rescue cat named Charlie and hopes to own a dog someday. In her free time, she enjoys baking and hiking.
If she weren’t a groomer, Madelynn would likely pursue a career that highlights her baking and cooking skills. She wishes every customer knew about the significant behind-the-scenes work involved in dog grooming.
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.
