At The Watering Bowl, our professional dog grooming services keep your pup clean, comfortable, and looking their best. Whether your dog needs a simple bath, a thorough de-shedding session, routine nail care, or a full haircut, our experienced groomers provide safe, high-quality care tailored to your dog’s coat, personality, and needs. Grooming is an important part of maintaining a healthy dog, and we make it easy by offering appointments alongside daycare and boarding.

To help you choose the right service, it’s important to note that full-service grooming and haircuts are offered exclusively at our St. Peters location. Our Dog Grove and South County locations focus on maintenance care only, offering baths, nail trims, and de-shedding treatments, but not haircuts.

Our Grooming Services

Our grooming offerings vary slightly by location, but every dog receives gentle handling, high-quality products, and a clean, professional experience. Bath and brush appointments include a warm bath, a coat-appropriate conditioner if needed, a full blow-dry, and a careful brush-out to leave the coat clean and refreshed. At our St. Peters location, full-service grooming also includes breed-specific or owner-preferred haircuts, along with face, feet, and sanitary trimming to keep your dog tidy and comfortable.

For dogs who shed heavily or experience seasonal coat changes, we offer de-shedding treatments designed to reduce loose undercoat and promote healthier skin and coat. Nail trimming and paw care are available at all locations, ensuring your dog’s nails stay at an appropriate length for comfort and mobility. Ear cleaning and hygiene trims are also available upon request to complete the grooming experience.

Why Choose The Watering Bowl for Grooming?

Our groomers are experienced, compassionate, and trained to work with a wide variety of coat types and temperaments. Whether your dog is energetic, sensitive, or brand new to the grooming process, we take the time to ensure they feel safe and cared for from start to finish. Each grooming space is kept clean, sanitized, and designed to minimize stress. We also keep detailed grooming notes for returning clients, so every visit reflects your preferences and your dog’s unique needs.

Many families choose to pair grooming with daycare or boarding for added convenience. Your dog can enjoy a day of play or an overnight stay and go home clean, trimmed, and fresh — saving you an extra trip and keeping your routine simple.

Your First Grooming Appointment

At your dog’s initial appointment, we’ll review their coat condition, grooming history, preferred style, and any sensitivities we should be aware of. This helps us tailor the session to your dog’s comfort and ensures you receive the results you're looking for. With each visit, we continue to refine our approach so your dog has a consistent, positive experience every time.
