What We Offer

Our Services include:

Full-Service Dog & Cat Grooming: Give your pet the pampering they deserve with our full-service grooming experience for both dogs and cats. Every appointment includes a gentle bath, thorough brush-out, ear cleaning, and nail trim, with the option to add customized haircut styles based on your pet’s breed, coat type, and your personal preference. Whether your companion needs a simple tidy-up or a full transformation, we make the process comfortable, safe, and stress-free.
Bath, Brush & De-Shedding Treatments: Keep your pet’s coat healthy and reduce shedding with our premium bath, brush, and de-shedding services. We use high-quality shampoos and conditioners tailored to your pet’s skin and coat needs, followed by a detailed brushing session to remove loose hair and prevent matting. Our de-shedding treatment significantly cuts down on shedding at home—ideal for double-coated breeds or pets who need a little extra coat care.
Specialized Grooming for Elderly & Aggressive Pets: Every pet deserves quality care, including those who struggle with grooming due to age, anxiety, or behavioral challenges. We offer patient, compassionate grooming tailored to senior pets and pets with aggressive or reactive tendencies. With a calm approach and safe handling methods, we work at your pet’s pace to ensure a positive experience while still delivering a clean, healthy groom.
Nail Trimming & Paw Care: Proper nail care is essential for your pet’s comfort and mobility. We provide quick, gentle nail trims for cats and dogs, along with optional nail filing for smooth, snag-free edges. Paw pad trimming and cleaning are also available to keep feet healthy and irritation-free.
Private Dog Boarding: Enjoy peace of mind when you’re away. Our private dog boarding provides a quiet, secure environment with personalized attention, daily routines, and plenty of love. Your dog stays in a safe, low-stress setting—perfect for pets who prefer a more personal, home-style experience over traditional kennels.
Curbside Pick-Up & Drop-Off: For added convenience, we offer curbside pick-up and drop-off for grooming appointments. Simply pull up, and we’ll handle the rest—saving you time and making the process easier for both you and your pet.

Grooming by Kim is fantastic! Kim is very knowledgeable with her craft. She made us feel super comfortable with the process and was able to answer all our questions. The de-shedding treatment was perfect for our Aussie. Our dog isn’t the biggest fan of baths or grooming, but Kim was able to make him feel comfortable and did an amazing job! We will definitely be coming back for our next groom. Thank you, Kim!

My 4 month, 4 pound Shih Tzu puppy, Coco Chanel, had her first grooming today. Kim was so intentional about ensuring she had a positive experience and I was so impressed from my first contact with her till I picked her up. I had visited other groomers before being referred to Grooming by Kim and the vibe I felt was completely different. Ryan did a fabulous job on Coco and I’m sure she will be happy to go back in July! I highly recommend taking your fur baby to Grooming by Kim in Scottsdale.
