Coat Trimming & Haircuts

A great haircut is part art, part craft — and a whole lot of practice. Our groomers have been cutting St. Louis dogs' coats for decades, and it shows in every smooth, even finish.

Breed Cuts, Puppy Cuts, and Everything Between

Whether you want a breed-standard schnauzer, a tidy poodle, or an easy-care puppy cut, we will shape the coat to flatter your dog and fit your lifestyle. We work from a clean, dry coat so the finish is even and lasts longer. Bring a photo if you have a look in mind — we love a clear reference.

Matting: Honest, Gentle Solutions

Mats pull on the skin and can hide sores, so we never force a comb through a matted coat. If your dog is heavily matted, we will explain your options and, when needed, recommend a short reset cut for their comfort. We would rather be honest than cause your dog pain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you cut my dog to match a photo?

Yes — a clear photo helps. Keep in mind that your dog's coat length and texture may limit what is possible, and we will tell you honestly what we can achieve.
