Dog Grooming & Bathing in Chicago — More Than a Clean Coat

Dog grooming in Chicago at Pet Care Plus combines full-service grooming and coat care with routine, observation-only checks. During every grooming appointment, our team observes skin and coat, ears, nails, dental health, and overall condition, then shares what they notice. Pet Care Plus is a grooming resort, not a veterinary provider.

Since 1998, Pet Care Plus has provided pet care from its purpose-built resort in Chicago’s West Loop.

Dog grooming and spa at Pet Care Plus in Chicago

Services

Full-service dog grooming — Bath, blow-dry, brush-out, style of your choice, nail trim, ear cleaning, and a bandana or bow.

Routine Observations — Built into every dog grooming appointment. We observe skin and coat, ears, nails, dental health, and overall condition, and share what we notice. These observations are non-veterinary.

Puppy’s First Groom — A gradual first-groom experience using gentle handling. We go slowly, by design.

Bath & Brush Out — A coat-care option for dogs that need bathing and brushing without a full groom.

Dog nail trimming, ear cleaning, and teeth brushing are available grooming services.

Dog deshedding treatment — Deshedding treatment uses bathing, brushing, and high-velocity drying. During the process, our team uses a specially designed tool that reaches through a pet’s topcoat to remove loose fur and undercoat—ideal for double-coated breeds.

Grooming Across Life Stages

Dog grooming needs can change across life stages. Puppy first-groom experiences use a gradual approach and gentle handling, while every appointment includes routine observations of coat, skin, ears, nails, dental health, and overall condition. Call (312) 397-9077 to discuss the appropriate grooming service for your dog.

Choosing and Booking a Grooming Service

For a bath, brush-out, style, and nail care in one appointment, review full-service grooming. If your dog only needs paw maintenance, see dog nail trimming and ask about a focused appointment. For doodle coat-care questions, our doodle guide explains why individual coat needs matter.

Need an appointment soon? Check our same-day grooming guidance and call to confirm openings. Availability depends on the calendar, coat condition, and requested service. Tell the team your dog’s size, coat condition, and handling needs when requesting a booking.

Required Vaccinations

Current Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccinations are required.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dog Grooming in Chicago

How often should my dog be professionally groomed?

Most breeds benefit from professional grooming every 4 to 6 weeks. Doodles, Poodles, and long-coated breeds require regular maintenance every 4 to 6 weeks to prevent painful matting, while short-coated breeds benefit from monthly bath and deshedding treatments.

Do you accept walk-ins for dog nail trimming?

Yes! We welcome walk-in nail trims and nail grindings Monday through Saturday. You can also easily add a nail trim to any daycare or boarding stay.

What is included in a full-service grooming package?

Our full-service groom includes a warm hydro-massage bath, blow dry, thorough brush-out, breed-specific or custom haircut, nail trim, ear cleaning, and a routine coat wellness check.
