The Spa at Playful Pups Retreat
At Playful Pups Retreat, grooming is more than just a haircut — it’s an experience designed to enhance your dog’s comfort, health, and happiness.
Our professional groomers use high-quality, all-natural products in a calm, Fear Free–inspired environment to help every dog look and feel their best. Whether your pup is joining us for daycare, lodging, or a stand-alone spa day, we’ll make sure they leave fresh, clean, and ready for cuddles.
Let’s Get Snuggle Ready!
Skip the mess and let our caring, detail-oriented team handle the dirty work. From soothing baths to full-service grooming, we ensure your dog’s comfort and safety every step of the way — so you can simply enjoy that post-groom snuggle.

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.
