  • De-Shed Treatment: Reduces shedding with a specialized shampoo, conditioner, and brush-out.

Grooming Essentials

  • Grooming is by appointment only.
  • No appointments available on Sundays or major holidays.
  • Dogs must be current on Bordetella, Rabies, and Distemper/Parvovirus.
  • Grooming does not include daycare, but daycare clients may book a half-day of play before or after their groom by calling 717-689-3756.
  • Pricing and policies are subject to change without notice.

Why Professional Grooming Matters

Grooming is more than a beauty routine — it’s an essential part of your dog’s overall well-being.
Regular, professional grooming helps:

  • Maintain healthy skin and coat: Removing dirt, debris, and loose fur helps your dog’s skin breathe and keeps their coat shiny.
  • Prevent discomfort and health issues: Routine brushing and trimming reduce matting, skin irritation, and ear infections.
  • Detect early signs of problems: Our trained groomers often spot things pet parents might miss — like lumps, rashes, or ear redness — allowing for early intervention.
  • Build confidence and trust: With our calm, Fear Free–inspired approach, dogs learn that grooming can be a safe, positive experience.

At Playful Pups Retreat, we believe grooming is part of a lifetime of care — keeping every pup clean, comfortable, and ready for snuggles.
