Drop-Off Grooming Services

What sets us apart? First and foremost, our grooming process is different from most salons. We don't believe in group scheduling, assembly line production, cage drying to save time, or kenneling dogs for hours in what can be a stressful environment. 

At Blue Collar Doghouse, we book a private slot for each and every dog, to complete the process as quickly as possible, with as few strangers handling him as necessary. Starting shortly after your arrival, one dedicated groomer will bathe, dry, brush, and trim your dog in succession, building a more trusting relationship. If he's very young, old, disabled, scared or shy, he'll get short breaks to rest and relax, as well as an extra dose of love and patience. And as soon as he's done, we'll contact you to arrange immediate pickup. 
​
Our professional groomers are trained to bathe, cut, and style all breeds of dogs. They have a very loyal following, and their skills are very much in demand, especially before major holidays, and usually book out about four to six weeks in advance.
