Dog Grooming: Behind the Scenes
Most grooming appointments last an average of 3 to 4 hours, from drop off to pick up. Upon check-in, you will meet with the groomer to discuss your desired grooming services. Then your pup will head to the tub with our groomer to get washed up. After they are dry, they are brushed, trimmed, and styled depending on your grooming service selection. Finishing touches include a splash of cologne and a seasonal bow or bandana.
Our groomers have specific appointment times and follow a cycle of bathing, drying, and styling pets in the order they arrive. Grooming services utilize grooming kennels and cool air drying fans. Hand drying is available as a request with straight-through appointments for an additional charge. Must be cleared with the groomer.

- Less shedding around the house
- Smells fresh and clean – More huggable!
- Aids in prevention and detection of fleas and ticks
- Trimmed nails are more comfortable for your pet. Nail trimming should be done on average every 3 - 4 weeks. Regular trimming encourages the quick of the nails to recede.

FAQs of Dog Grooming
Any client is welcome to come in for grooming as long as they meet the vaccination requirements.
At Home Tips
For those times in-between grooming sessions, there are several things you can do at home to improve how your dog looks and feels, also making their next appointment easier on them.
The more your dog is handled – especially in sensitive areas like feet and ears – the more comfortable their next grooming appointment will be. Be sure to brush your dog several times a week using a brush or comb that is suited to your dog’s type of coat. And don’t forget to brush your dog’s teeth with a canine toothbrush and toothpaste. (Don’t use human toothpaste, since it often contains xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.)
Vaccination Requirements for Grooming
The vaccination requirements for our grooming services differ from those for the rest of our resort services. If you are using Paw Commons strictly for grooming purposes, the only vaccine required is the Rabies vaccine (1 or 3-year booster).
