Our Grooming Team

Skilled hands. Patient hearts.

The same family-run salon Karen Friemann opened in 1982 — now under the stewardship of the Burns family, with a grooming team that treats every dog like their own.

Whether your pup is a wiggly first-timer, a senior who needs slow handling, or a show-quality breed needing a precise cut — our groomers have done it all. We take the time to learn what works for your pet, and we don't rush them through.

That's part of what 40+ years grooming Pocono dogs teaches you: every dog is different, and every dog deserves to leave looking and feeling like a million bucks.

Common Questions

Things grooming clients ask

Quick answers about appointments, pricing, and what to expect.

How much does a full groom cost?

Pricing depends on breed, size, and coat condition. We give you an honest quote up front based on your dog. Call us at (570) 992-4404 with your dog's breed and weight and we'll give you a starting price right away.

Do I need an appointment for a nail trim?

No appointment required for walk-in nail trims. Just call ahead at (570) 992-4404 so we know to expect you. Most nail trims are in-and-out in 10 minutes.

Do you really groom cats?

Yes. We groom cats. Bath, brush-out, sanitary trims, dematting, and lion cuts for long-haired breeds. Most groomers in the Poconos won't take cats — we will.

What if my dog is anxious or hates grooming?

We've worked with thousands of anxious dogs over 40+ years. We take breaks, we move slowly, we use gentle handling, and we tell you honestly if your dog needs an alternative approach. Tell us when you book and we'll plan accordingly.

How long does a full groom take?

Most full grooms take 2–4 hours from drop-off to pick-up, depending on size, coat, and how busy we are. We'll give you a pick-up time when you drop off.

What if my dog has matting?

It happens — life gets busy. We do our best to dematt humanely without shaving down, but severe matting sometimes requires a clip-down for the dog's comfort. We'll talk you through options when we see your dog.

What are your hours? Are you open Sundays?

Grooming services are available Monday through Saturday, 8am to 5pm. Sundays are reserved for scheduled boarding drop-offs and pick-ups between 9am and 10am — no grooming services on Sundays. If you need flexibility outside those Sunday windows for a boarding pick-up or drop-off, give us a call and we'll do our best to accommodate. Closed major holidays.
