Whether you are in West Medford, Wellington, South Medford near Tufts, or up by the Lakes, Lexington is a quick run west: Route 60 (Salem Street) or I-93 to the Route 60 exit, fifteen minutes give or take.

City dogs, small spaces, and a lot of shedding

In a triple-decker or a condo, shedding is not a minor annoyance. It is on the couch, the rug, and your clothes by Wednesday. Our de-shedding treatment is the most practical thing a Medford apartment dog can get: a high-velocity blow-out with a de-shedding shampoo and conditioner that strips the loose undercoat at the salon instead of leaving it for your vacuum. For double-coated breeds it makes weeks of difference at home. For dogs who do not need a full cut, a regular bath and brush-out keeps things under control too.

Fells dogs and what the trails leave behind

Plenty of Medford dogs get their exercise in the Middlesex Fells, the Sheepfold field, the trails off the Fellsway, and they come home with the evidence: dirt, debris, the odd tangle, and a coat full of whatever they rolled in. A proper bath and dry resets all of that, and on longer or curlier coats it is the moment to catch mats early, before they tighten up against the skin. We would rather brush a coat out than have to shave it down, and getting dogs in on a steady schedule is how we keep it that way.

Services for Medford dogs

Full grooming with a breed-appropriate cut, bath and brush-out, de-shedding, a standalone nail trim when that is all that is needed, and a patient first groom for puppies meeting the table for the first time. A full groom means a bath with professional shampoo and conditioner, a high-velocity dry, a breed-appropriate haircut, ear cleaning, nail trim, anal gland expression, and a cologne or bandana finish, sized to your dog, not a stopwatch.

Frequently asked questions

How far is the salon from Medford?

About fifteen minutes. We are at 395 Lowell St in Lexington, reachable via Route 60 (Salem Street) west or I-93 to the Route 60 exit. Plenty of Medford owners make the drive on a regular schedule.

I'm in an apartment and the shedding is out of control. What helps?

The de-shedding treatment. It removes the loose undercoat at the salon with a high-velocity blow-out and de-shedding shampoo, so far less of it ends up on your floors and furniture, a real difference for dogs living in smaller spaces.

My dog gets filthy at the Fells. Can you clean that up?

Absolutely. A full groom or a bath and brush-out resets a dirty, debris-filled coat completely, and it is also when we catch and work out early tangles before they become mats. Trail dogs are a big part of who we groom.

Is parking an issue?

No, we have parking right at the salon at 395 Lowell St, so drop-off and pickup are easy.

What's included in a full groom?

A bath with professional shampoo and conditioner, a high-velocity dry, a breed-appropriate haircut, ear cleaning, nail trim, anal gland expression, and a cologne or bandana finish, all tailored to your dog's breed and coat.
