Dog Grooming Services
At Squish & Charlie’s, grooming should feel less like a scary salon visit and more like a confidence boost with bubbles, snacks, and people who actually understand dogs.
From quick tidy-ups to full grooms, de-shedding, nail care, puppy introductions, rescue dog support, and reactive dog grooming programs, our team works with real dogs, real coats, real wiggles, and the occasional “what did you roll in?” emergency.
We groom a limited number of dogs at a time so the experience stays calmer, safer, and more personal. We take our time, use gentle products, and adjust the visit to your dog’s coat, comfort, and confidence level.
Grooming for Real Dogs
Some dogs strut in like they own the place. Some need reassurance. Some are puppies learning the ropes. Some are rescue pups still learning that hands, tools, water, and dryers can be safe.
Our goal is simple: help your dog leave cleaner, more comfortable, and more confident than when they arrived.

Choose the option that fits your dog’s coat, comfort, and level of chaos. For current pricing, specialty program rates, and add-on details, visit our Rates & Programs page.
Full Fluff
For fancy floofs, dapper dudes, and pups who deserve the full spa treatment.
Includes: deep cleanse and condition, blowout, full haircut and style, nail care, ears, teeth brushing, balm, and cologne.
Midday Makeover
The midweek pick-me-up for pups who need more than a quick rinse, but not the full spa day.
Includes: wash, dry, feet, face, and bum trim, nail trim, ear clean, and premium shampoo.
Working Dawg
A quick refresh for dogs who need to get clean, get brushed, and get back to being busy.
Includes: bath, dry, brush, ear cleaning, and nail trim.
Face, Fanny & Feet
A quick tidy-up for the three F regions between full grooming appointments.
Best for: keeping faces, paws, and hygienic areas neat when your pup does not need a full groom.
Bald Baby
For pups who need the “shave it all” option because their coat is too warm, too much, or too matted to keep comfortable.
Includes: bath and dry, shave down, ear and teeth cleaning, balm, and cologne.
Whoopsie
For the skunking, rolled-in-poo, matting, and “well, that happened” moments.
Includes: extra coat care such as de-matting support, special shampoo, double drying, and deep brushing.
Rates vary based on coat condition, temperament, matting, size, and the needs of your dog.
Specialty Grooming Programs
Some pups need a slower introduction, a trust-building plan, or a team that knows how to work at their pace. These programs are designed for puppies, newly adopted dogs, and reactive or anxious dogs.
Puppy Grooming 101
A gentle two-session intro for puppies under 6 months old. We introduce the grooming space, tools, sounds, gentle handling, bath, dry, brushing, nail care, and lots of praise.
Best for: helping puppies start grooming with confidence instead of fear.
New Home, Who Dis?
For rescue dogs and newly adopted pups who need patience, kindness, and a slower introduction to grooming after a big life change.
Best for: dogs who are new to their family and need trust-building before a full groom.
Reactive Doggo
For dogs who are fearful, anxious, spicy, reactive, or have had difficult grooming experiences in the past.
Best for: gradual exposure, positive reinforcement, trust-building, and grooming that moves at your dog’s pace.
