Dog Grooming Services in Verona, NJ

Pamper Your Pet has groomed dogs, and only dogs, from our salon at 133 Bloomfield Ave in Verona since 2005. Whatever your dog’s breed, size, or coat, you’re handing them to a team that does one thing all day, every day. We’re a no-crate, no-sedation salon with full-size walk-in tubs and an electric lift table for the big ones, and we’ll bring grooming right to your door with our signature Pet Chauffeur pickup & drop-off. Free estimates and consultations are always on-site, we never charge late fees, and our staff speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Call (973) 857-2799 to book.

What’s included in each service

Every dog starts with a quick evaluation so we can match the groom to their coat and temperament. We talk to you, the owner, before we begin, and we always put your dog’s comfort first, humanity before vanity. Here is exactly what each service covers.

Full Grooming

The complete package for any breed. A full groom includes a full-body haircut to your chosen length, a bath with regular shampoo (upgradeable to one of our spa shampoos below), a blow-out, nail clipping, ear cleaning, and a hygiene tidy. Best for long-haired and double-coated dogs, and for any dog that’s overdue. Priced by size, coat, and condition, bigger dogs and matted coats take longer, so we give you a free estimate first. See the full breakdown on our pricing page.

Bath N Brush, Long-Haired

A maintenance groom for long-coated dogs between full haircuts. Includes a soothing bath, blow-out, light trimming around the eyes, nail clipping, ear cleaning, optional ear plucking, and a hygiene trim. Ideal for Shih Tzus, doodles, Havanese, and Cavaliers that need to stay tidy without a full cut every visit.

Bath N Brush, Short-Haired

For smooth and short coats that don’t need a haircut. Includes a soothing bath, thorough brush, nail clipping, ear cleaning, optional ear plucking, and a hygiene tidy. Perfect for Labs, Boxers, Beagles, and Bull Terriers, coats that mostly look after themselves but still need a proper wash and nail routine.

Premium Spa Shampoos

Upgrade any bath to a targeted treatment for your dog’s skin and coat:

Shed Patrol, $10: our de-shedding shampoo and solution, the favorite for double-coated dogs that blow their coat across the living room every spring.
Medicated shampoo, $5: relieves common skin problems and itchiness.
Natural Oatmeal shampoo & deep conditioner, $5: soothes dry skin and irritation.
Hypoallergenic shampoo, $5: for sensitive skin and reactive coats.
De-Skunk treatment, $35: for the dog who met the wrong wildlife.
Natural Flea & Tick treatment, $10: a natural-formula wash after a romp through the woods.

Add-Ons & Quick Services

Building a custom groom, or just need a single service? These flat-priced add-ons can be booked on their own or stacked onto any groom:

Nail trim, $18: a tidy, comfortable trim. We recommend every three to four weeks.
Spa package, $15: a pampering upgrade for the full salon experience.
Teeth cleaning, $3: a quick brush to freshen breath and support dental health.
Anal gland expression, $10: routine hygiene that keeps your dog comfortable.

De-Matting & De-Shedding

Mats aren’t just unsightly, tight mats pull at the skin and trap moisture, which is a real comfort and health issue. We always try to gently brush a coat out before we resort to a shave, because comfort comes first. De-matting and de-shedding runs $10 to $80 depending on how severe the mats are. The only time we’ll insist on a shave-down is when de-matting becomes painful or too stressful for your dog. Brushing at home between grooms is the single best way to avoid this charge.

Grooming by coat type

The work depends far more on the coat than the breed name, so here’s how we approach the dogs we see most:

Long-haired & curly coats

Long, silky, and curly coats, Shih Tzus, Havanese, Yorkies, doodles, and poodles, need the most attention. They mat quickly if left too long or brushed the wrong way. We can trim anywhere from ultra-short to medium length and will talk you through a cut that’s easy to maintain between visits. Common long-haired breeds: Shih Tzu, Labradoodle, Goldendoodle, Pomeranian, Havanese, King Charles Cavalier, and more.

Short & smooth coats

Short-haired dogs, Labs, Boxers, Bull Terriers, Greyhounds, Chihuahuas, have hair under an inch and don’t need haircuts, but they still benefit from a proper bath, de-shed, and nail-and-ear routine. A bath & brush keeps the coat healthy and cuts down on shedding.

Heavy double coats

Double-coated dogs, Huskies, Goldens, Shepherds, Labs, are heavy seasonal shedders. A Shed Patrol bath plus a thorough de-shed pulls the loose undercoat out so it ends up in our drain instead of on your couch. We never shave a healthy double coat; it doesn’t grow back the same and it removes their natural insulation.

Puppies & seniors

We specialize in two clients other salons rush: first-time puppies and older dogs. For puppies, we run a gentle first-groom evaluation to build trust and set them up to love the salon for life. For seniors, we offer express grooming with shorter, calmer sessions and extra patience. Our no-crate setup and one-on-one time make a real difference for any dog that finds grooming stressful, and we never sedate. Pamper Your Pet also features a supervised play area where dogs can relax and dry off, together or on their own.

Don’t have time to make the drive?

You don’t have to. Our Pet Chauffeur picks your dog up at your door, grooms them in our Verona salon, and brings them home. A round trip is $20 for the standard distance (up to 4 miles), then just $5 per mile out to a 10-mile radius. It’s the convenience of a mobile van with the equipment and space of a real salon. See how the Pet Chauffeur works and which towns we cover.
