Pet Services > Grooming
At The Water Bowl, we offer professionally trained, full-service grooming for both dogs and cats. It is our goal to provide a safe, clean, and stress-free grooming experience for your pet.
Spa Bath
Every spa bath includes a brush-out, bathing, conditioning, blow-drying, ear cleaning, nail trimming and gland expressing, if needed.
Your pet will first receive a brush-out of loose or dead hair. The groomer then proceeds with a thorough, deep-cleaning bath, choosing from many different shampoos to match your animal's needs, followed by a conditioner to soften the fur and loosen the undercoat. The pet is then dried until completely free of water, with a combination of warm forced air and cool air flows to avoid burns. The groomer finishes with a thorough ear cleaning and removal of any hair inside of the ear canal. The final step is the nail trimming, where the nails are clipped as short as possible without causing harm or stress to your pet. We also offer nail filing for a smooth finish.
Spa Bath with Professional Cut (Full Groom)
Every full groom comes with the services listed in the spa bath plus hand scissoring and/or clipper work per breed standards or to the owner's specifications. Our professionally trained groomer will work with you to find that perfect cut for your pet.
Feline Grooming
We provide professional grooming services for our feline friends as well. Our staff has experience in handling cats with care. Our grooming room provides a quiet and secluded space to allow for a stress-free groom. We offer all the services listed above in the spa bath, as well as brush-outs and lion cuts.

How Often Should My Pet Be Groomed?
For short-haired dogs, we suggest a minimum of four baths per year, or one per season. However, many people take advantage of our services on a weekly or monthly basis.
For dogs and cats with short to medium length haircuts, we suggest grooming every six to eight weeks. Dogs and cats with long hair or high-maintenance coats need attention on a regular basis. In order to keep a coat free from mats and tangling, we suggest being groomed every four to six weeks, along with brushing and combing at home to ensure a stress-free and painless grooming experience.
Bathing and grooming prices vary by breed, coat condition, size of animal, and desired cut. Please call 630-232-9193 for a price quote.
