Dog Grooming Services
We offer a range of dog grooming services in our salon and spa to keep your dog looking and feeling their best. Here’s a closer look at what we offer:
- Dog Baths: Our professional dog baths keep your pup clean and refreshed. We use high-quality, dog-friendly shampoos and conditioners to ensure your dog’s coat is silky-smooth and healthy-looking. Whether your dog needs a quick rinse or a full bath and blowout, leave it to us.
- Dog Grooms: Our dog grooming services are tailored to your dog’s specific needs. Whether your dog has long hair, short hair, or somewhere in between, our experienced groomers know how to give them a trim that will leave them looking and feeling their best. We offer everything from simple trims to more complex grooming styles, so your dog can get the look that suits them best.
- Dog Nail Trims: It’s crucial for your dog’s comfort and health to have their nails clipped. Our doggy daycare offers professional dog nail trims to keep your pup’s nails at the right length. We can handle even the most skittish dogs, so you can trust us to keep your furry friend safe and comfortable during their nail trim.
- Dog Ear Cleaning: Cleaning your dog’s ears is an essential part of their overall hygiene. Our dog ear cleaning service is designed to help prevent ear infections and keep your dog’s ears clean and healthy. We use gentle, dog-friendly products to clean your dog’s ears, and our experienced staff knows how to handle even the most sensitive ears with care.
- Dog Teeth Brushing: Oral hygiene is very important for dogs. To maintain your pet’s teeth clean and healthy, we provide dog teeth brushing services. Plaque and tartar accumulation may be avoided with the use of our mild, dog-friendly toothpaste and brushing methods, which will also keep your dog’s breath clean and fresh.
- Other services may include dematting, deshedding, hair dye, and more.
What to Expect at Your Dog’s Grooming Appointment
A typical grooming appointment starts with a quick check-in, where our groomers get to know your dog’s coat, skin, and comfort level. From there, your dog moves through whichever services you’ve booked, whether that’s a simple dog wash, a full dog bath and blowout, or a complete groom with a nail trim, ear cleaning, and teeth brushing. Our groomers work at your dog’s pace, taking breaks when needed to keep the visit calm and stress-free. When it’s done, your dog goes home clean, comfortable, and looking their best — and our staff is happy to share any notes on their coat or skin health.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dog Grooming
How do I know which grooming services my dog needs?
The right grooming services depend on your dog’s coat type, skin and coat condition, breed, activity level, and individual grooming needs. Services may include bathing, brushing, nail care, ear care, trimming, or a full groom. For an even better idea of which services may be right for your dog, choose your local Central Bark and select Book Now. You can share some basic information about your dog, explore available grooming options, and see starting pricing.
What should I look for in a dog groomer?
Look for a dog groomer who helps you and your dog feel safe and comfortable, has experience with different breeds and coat types, communicates clearly about your dog’s needs, and uses a patient approach to the grooming process. A good groomer should also be prepared to work with dogs at different ages and comfort levels and discuss a plan when a dog is anxious or uncomfortable.
Do groomers sedate dogs?
No. Central Bark groomers do not sedate dogs or make decisions about sedative or anti-anxiety medications. If your dog experiences significant stress or anxiety during grooming, talk with your veterinarian about the best approach for your dog and let your Central Bark grooming team know about any medications or special needs before scheduling or arriving for an appointment.
What dog grooming services do you offer?
Central Bark Salon & Spa services may include dog baths, full grooming, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, nail trims, deshedding treatments, brush-outs, gland expressions, and other grooming services. Available services can vary by location, so check with your local Central Bark for current options.
