As your Dapper Dogs team, we promise to love and care for your fur babies as if they were our own. We want your dogs to love coming to see us as much as we love having them! We are firm believers in comfort over vanity and always putting safety first in our grooms.
We are a team of professional groomers with many years of successful experience. We know how to groom many different breed standard cuts and we also know different modified cuts for pet parents wanting a more low-maintenance style. No matter what type of cut you are looking for, we are confident we can achieve that look. We are happy to review your specific requests with you, and do our best to exceed your expectations every time!
We look forward to meeting you and your pets!
