Gentle Grooming for
Senior & Anxious Dogs

If grooming has been stressful for your dog, it doesn’t have to be. A calm room and a
patient, experienced groomer make all the difference.

Private rooms in Gainesville.

Dogs are groomed in private rooms, away from the noise of a busy salon floor.

Seasoned groomers in Summerfield.

Our groomers in Summerfield have more than 60 years of grooming experience between them, and they know how to help a nervous or older dog feel safe.

Your dog's pace.

We never rush a dog who's frightened or uncomfortable.

Dogs We See Often

  • Senior dogs, including dogs with arthritis or limited mobility
  • Nervous or anxious dogs
  • Dogs who’ve had a bad experience elsewhere
  • Puppies on their first grooms

FAQs

My dog had a bad experience at another groomer. Can you help?
Often, yes. Tell us what happened when you book, so your groomer knows what to watch for.

Yes. We handle older dogs gently and take our time with
sensitive joints and skin.

No. If your vet recommends a calming medication, please follow their guidance and let us know when you book.

Most full grooms take 2–4 hours, depending on size and coat. We text you as soon as your dog is ready.
