Get your pup holiday ready with a trip to a PetSmart® Grooming Salon! You’ve decorated the house, gotten yourself ready, but what about the family dog? She deserves to look great for the holidays as well!

From Shaggy To Shiny
Around our house, Bailie and I are both nicknamed shaggy because our coats tend to have a shaggy messy look. With the holidays coming up, we want to look good, which is why Bailie took a trip to our local PetSmart Grooming Salon. Look at the difference in her furs! She was looking and feeling holiday ready!
PetSmart Grooming Salon Services
PetSmart Grooming Salons offer so much more than just a bath! Bailie had her nails trimmed and ground, her teeth were brushed, they even washed behind her long floppy ears, and gave her a good finishing brushing to make her furs really shine! I shared Bailie’s entire experience in our previous post. The PetSmart Grooming Salons have several grooming packages to choose from depending on the needs of your dog. Add some holiday fun to your dog with Pet Expressions, chalking, stenciling, nail polish, or fur bling!
We love the walk in grooming services they offer!
- nail trimming/grinding
- face/beard trimming
- ear cleaning and hair removal
- teeth brushing
- sanitary trim
- anal glands
The Look Great Guarantee
PetSmart Salons offer a “Look Great Guarantee”, which means they promise you will be happy with your pet’s service, or they will do whatever necessary to make it right, including offering your money back! Bailie’s dog groomer, Alex, was so sweet and caring with Bailie every step of the way, and did an amazing job! It’s comforting to know all PetSmart Salon associates acquire an annual safety certification and take additional course work where they learn about not only about dog grooming, but dog anatomy, signs of stress, and common medical conditions. The PetSmart groomers that give haircuts receive an additional 400 hours of hands on training!
Grooming Convenience
Getting your dog holiday ready doesn’t have to be a chore! You can easily book your PetSmart grooming appointment using their online booking system! While your precious furry one is having some spa time, you can head to the mall and finish up your shopping! Your groomer will give you an approximate time frame for your pet grooming and then text or email you when your fur baby is ready to be picked up! Your dog will be holiday ready for all the upcoming photos and celebrations! Show PetSmart Grooming some love by sharing your experience in photos with them on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.

Keep In Mind When Booking Your Appointment
- All pets need current rabies vaccinations and proof of vaccination from their vet
- Rabies vaccination needs to be administered 48 hours prior to service.
- No grooming services will be performed on pets 8 weeks old or younger.
- Customers cannot go behind the double doors separating the salon lobby from the grooming area for the safety of our pets and associates.
We have not tried PetSmart for grooming, but think we just might after reading this review. Love that first picture – just beautiful!
Thank you. We were very pleasantly surprised. They did a great job and were very nice.
I only ever took Reilly once to be groomed ‘professionally’ and it was a petsmart groomers – I left specific instructions for them to NOT cut his fur and they trimmed him all over – that was the first and last time I ever took him to a groomer. Of coarse it is was a one off event and so many people are very happy with the service they offer.
I guess as with everything, there are always some bad experiences. We had a great experience and will take Bailie back again. Even if you don’t want a full groom, the walk in services for nail trim or beard touch up are great!
I wish we had such a cool store here… we only can ask the vet to give me the pawfect christmouse styling… my mom said I have nails like ninja-swords… hope we will get an appointment after christmas so I can cut the christmas roast with my paws hehehehehe
You all need to move to the US!
if we win in the lottery tonight, we will pack our suitcases :o)
We have the other Pet** store in my town. Bailie looks beeeu-ti-ful! I am going to the other Pet** store for a grooming on Friday as I must look beeeu-ti-ful to be a PBGV ambassador at the Eukanuba on Saturday. I am not always good at the groomers but my groomer and I love each other. XOXO Sparkle the PBGV
If you don’t have a PetSmart in the area, it makes sense to go elsewhere. Maybe one day you will have one near you. Enjoy your spa day on Friday!
Bailie looks great!
The shaggy little one cleans up well.
Wow, you look great!! The before and after photos really show it!

Bailie cleans up pretty well.
Looking bright and white! Perfect for blending in with snow so the rabbits never see your coming.
Now all we need is another load of snow!
That sweet face and new grooming might get her on Santa’s nice list after all! BOL! PetSmart Grooming did an excellent job on her. ♥ I love those big ornaments.
She looked great when she got home, but it didn’t take her long to be all shaggy again. That is what we both like to do, shake off and be shaggy.
It really sounds like their groomers are experienced, and that they make things as convenient as possible. I hope one day we’ll have one around here. I would certainly give it a try with Sheba if they did. Our vet tech does her grooming and does a good job but sometimes it takes longer because she has other distractions there at the office.
It is easier usually to go to a strictly grooming salon. We like what they did with Bailie. She didn’t need much, but she looked much better.
What a difference between the before and after photos! They did an amazing job and seem very qualified and caring.
It was a really good experience all around.
Oh my, you’ve got your mighty fine on full display girl!
That little sister of mine really can get polished nicely if she tries.
That’s a big difference. I could see Bailie’s pretty eyes in the “after” picture.
It was really nice to have her all spiffed up for a while, but of course, it didn’t last long.
Thank goodness we don’t need all that fluff!butt our friend goes there

You all are a bit lacking in the complicated furs department!
Looking good Bailie!! We are having a spa day on Friday to our little place that we go to. I don’t mind it, but Lilly hates it. She is all quiet the whole time and just waits for it to be over. I don’t mind — I like attention! Bailie looks super. Mom can’t wait for us to look (and smell!) good.
Bailie looked amazing after her trip to the spa! Now she is back to shaggy Bailie. It’s the nature of our furs I guess.
Bailie looks so nice! Great job Petsmart!
She did look super, but now she is back to shaggy. Our furs seem to prefer shaggy naturally.
Bailie is looking so very beautiful for the Holidays!!
Smileys!

She sure did look great when she got home, but after a day or two of fun, she was back to her shaggy looking self!
Bailie sure cleans up well! We have had only positive experiences at PetSmart and go there regularly. Nelly gets shaggy pretty fast, she also becomes beige if I let her go too long.
Our white furs aren’t so shiny white after a few weeks. We need a good bath to get all cleaned up. PetSmart grooming did a great job with Bailie.
Beautiful job done!
Bailie cleaned up nicely.
