Whether your dog needs a routine bath and brush-out, a full haircut, nail care, or help with a difficult coat, our goal is to make grooming easier for both you and your dog. We focus on comfort, cleanliness, communication, and giving you a grooming experience you can feel good about.

At PetWow in Highland Heights, we offer dog grooming options designed to fit your pet’s coat, comfort level, and grooming needs.

If your dog is over 10 years old, we require a consultation with one of our veterinarians before grooming to determine whether grooming is safe for your pet.

Basic Groom

• ✅ Brush
• ✅ Blow dry
• ✅ Nail trim
• ✅ Ear cleaning

• ❌ No haircut

A full groom includes everything in a basic groom, plus a professional haircut based on your dog’s breed, coat type, and your preferences.

Not sure whether your dog needs a basic groom or a full groom? Our team can help you decide.

A basic groom is often best for short-haired dogs, dogs who need routine upkeep, or dogs who simply need a clean refresh.

A full groom is usually better for long-haired breeds, curly-coated dogs, double-coated dogs, or pets who need shaping, trimming, or a complete haircut.

We’ll talk through your goals when you schedule your appointment so you can have a better idea of which level of grooming your dog needs.

To help maintain your dog’s coat, skin, and overall comfort, we offer grooming add-ons that can be included with your dog’s appointment.

Available add-ons may include:

• Nail grinding
• De-shedding treatments
• Specialty shampoos
• Additional coat care treatments

These add-ons can be especially helpful for dogs who shed heavily, have sensitive skin, or need extra coat maintenance.

Some dogs struggle with grooming because of anxiety, sensitivity, matting, pain, age, or past experiences. In certain cases, sedated grooming may be recommended to help keep the grooming process safe and comfortable.

Because PetWow is also a veterinary practice, our team can offer vet-supervised sedation when appropriate. This is not used casually or automatically — it is considered only when needed and with your pet’s safety in mind.

If you think your dog may need sedation for grooming, our team can discuss the process, safety considerations, and whether it may be the right option.

Our Highland Heights grooming appointments are designed to make the process simple and predictable.

Here’s what a typical grooming visit looks like:

1. ✅Drop off your dog during the morning drop-off window (7AM-9AM).
2. ✅Our team reviews your grooming notes and confirms what you would like done.
3. ✅You go enjoy your day!
4. ✅Meanwhile, your dog is groomed by our professional grooming team.
5. ✅We call you as soon as your dog’s groom is complete.
6. ✅You pick up your dog at your convenience before closing.

For returning grooming clients, the process is even easier because we keep notes on your preferred haircut and grooming style. If you ever want something changed, just let us know at drop-off.

Rabies vaccine note: All dogs groomed at PetWow must be current on their rabies vaccine. This is both a legal requirement and an important safety measure for our team. If your dog is not up to date, our veterinary team may be able to update the vaccine for an additional charge.
