Regular bathing and grooming is essential for canine health. Grooming is known to reduce the occurrence of some diseases and medical conditions and is an essential element to a happy relationship between you and your dog. Austin Canine Central's philosophy is about quality and personal touch--not rush and worry. Our experienced grooming staff enjoys doggie pampering, not only with our state-of-the art bathing and grooming equipment, but with lots of hugs and rubs to make the experience enjoyable, comfortable and safe. Your dog will come home clean, trim, smelling fresh and looking sharp!

We personalize our services to meet you and your dog's needs. Whether you want to wait, go to work, or shop, our approach is to discuss your dog's needs then leave the rest to us!

Services range from a simple nail trimming to bathing or to full spa treatment, and go beyond many comparable services. For example, our regular "bath" is not just a shampoo and dry. This service includes ear cleaning, nail clipping, shaving between footpads, and in sanitary areas (as applicable), bath, skin and coat conditioner, and brush-out. Breed-specific tidying such as face, feet and tail trimming is also part of our basic bath service unless you request otherwise. Isn't that what "the basics" is all about?

Add-on services include nail trims (while you wait), dematting, full body trims, and spa specials using special aromatic shampoos, spritzers and other treats. Telephone "guestimates" can be provided, however, we recommend you stop by so we can give you a firm price.

Getting a dog groomed quickly, on short notice is tough sometimes, particularly during the holiday season. Please give us a call ahead of time to secure a time slot. We don't want you to waste the trip (although we would love to see you!), and we want to meet and exceed your expectations without rush.

Special Needs?

Does your dog require prescription shampoo? Bring it in, and we'll do the "dirty work". Dematting needed? Bring the dog in for a discussion. If not too uncomfortable, we can provide this service, but we will also discuss shaving the dog short and begin a regular maintenance treatment. Does your canine have a feline friend who also needs a bath? Cats may be brought in an enclosed carrier for brush and bathing (no shaving). Dog contact and noise will of course be avoided.

Quick Check-in

To speed the check-in service, click here for our Grooming Check-in Form. Filling out the top part and bringing it with you will ease the transition, allowing you to just discuss your dog's special needs and your expectations when you come to the facility. While we've got some business to take care of, we want the focus to be on your dog, and our care and services, not on paperwork!

Drop-off and Pick-up Times

Drop-off is preferred Monday-Friday 7:30a.m.-9:00a.m., or by special appointment. Pick-up is by mutual agreement. Half-day doggie day care packages are also available for extended stay.
