Dog Grooming Services in Nabb, IN

Pretty Paws Pet Parlor offers full dog grooming services out of our salon on IN-362 in Nabb, Indiana. Whether your dog needs a bath, a fresh haircut, a nail trim, or a serious de-shedding session — we handle it all with patience and care.

We groom all breeds and sizes. Small dogs, big dogs, nervous dogs, senior dogs. If they've got fur, we can help.

Full Dog Grooming

Our full groom is what most people book. It covers everything your dog needs to look good and feel comfortable. Here's what's included:

We tailor each groom to the breed and coat type. A Goldendoodle gets a different cut than a Shih Tzu, and we talk it through with you before we start.

Dog Bathing

Not every visit needs a full groom. Sometimes your dog just needs a bath. Maybe they got into something in the yard, or it's been awhile and they're starting to smell. We get it.

Our bath-only service includes a warm water wash with gentle shampoo, a blow dry, and a brush-out. Your dog goes home clean and fresh. It's also a good option between full grooms to keep their coat in shape.

We pick shampoo based on your dog's skin — sensitive skin, dry skin, oily coat — we match the product to what they actually need.

Nail Trimming

Long nails cause more problems than people realize. They change how your dog walks, which can lead to joint pain over time. And if a nail catches on something and rips — that's a vet visit nobody wants.

We trim nails as part of every full groom, but you can book a nail trim on its own too. A lot of folks from Charlestown and Scottsburg come in just for nails because their dog won't let them do it at home. We get it — some dogs hate having their paws touched. We're patient with it.

Ear Cleaning

Dogs with floppy ears — Cocker Spaniels, Basset Hounds, Goldendoodles — are really prone to ear infections. Dirt, moisture, and wax build up fast under those ear flaps.

We clean ears gently during every full groom. If we notice redness, smell, or discharge, we'll let you know right away so you can follow up with your vet. We don't treat infections — but we'll catch them early and tell you about it.

De-shedding Treatment

Every spring and fall, double-coated dogs blow their undercoat. If you own a Lab, Husky, German Shepherd, or Golden Retriever, you know exactly what we're talking about. Fur everywhere — on the couch, in your car, stuck to your clothes.

Our de-shedding treatment uses specialized shampoo and tools to loosen and remove that dead undercoat. We do a thorough blow-out followed by brush work with de-shedding blades. One session makes a huge difference. Your house will thank you.

We recommend de-shedding every 4 to 8 weeks during heavy shedding seasons. A lot of our regulars from Henryville, Sellersburg, and Madison book these on a schedule.

How We Handle Your Dog

We use non-slip mats, professional grooming restraints, and pet-safe products on every dog. But honestly, the biggest thing is how we treat them. We don't force anything. If your dog needs a break, they get one. If they're scared of the dryer, we adjust. Justice — the owner and lead groomer — has worked with enough nervous dogs to know when to push and when to pause.

We ask that dogs be up to date on rabies and distemper vaccines. Just mention it when you book and we'll make a note. If your dog has health issues, allergies, or is on medication, tell us beforehand so we can plan accordingly.

How much does dog grooming cost in Nabb, IN?

Pricing depends on your dog's size, coat type, and the services you need. A small dog full groom costs less than a large double-coated breed. Call us at 812-786-8948 and we'll give you a quote before you come in.

How long does a dog grooming appointment take?

Most full grooms take between 1 and 3 hours depending on your dog's size and coat condition. Bath-only appointments are quicker, usually 30 to 60 minutes. We don't rush — your dog gets the time they need.

Do you groom large dogs?

Yes. We groom dogs of all sizes — from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. If your big dog is nervous, we'll take it slow and give them breaks.

What if my dog has never been groomed before?

That's totally fine. We get first-timers all the time. We'll go slow, keep things calm, and let your dog get comfortable. Tell us it's their first time when you book so we can plan extra time.

Do I need to bring anything to the appointment?

Just your dog on a leash or in a carrier. Let us know about any medical conditions, skin issues, or behavior stuff before the appointment. If your dog takes medication, mention that too.
