Dog Grooming in Lawrenceville, NJ

Professional Grooming at Camp Bow Wow & Open to All Dogs in Mercer County

Grooming services at Camp Bow Wow Lawrenceville NJ are open to all dogs, whether or not your pup is enrolled in daycare or boarding. No Camper Interview is required for grooming-only visits. Dogs do need to be current on their Rabies, Distemper, Bivalent Flu, and Bordetella vaccines before coming in, which supports the health of dogs in the facility. Once that’s confirmed, our Camp Counselors are ready to get to work.

Every appointment is tailored to your dog’s breed, coat type, and personality. Whether your pup is a first-timer or a regular, our team builds familiarity over repeat visits, making the experience easier and more comfortable each time. We serve pet parents throughout Mercer County, including Princeton, Trenton, and the surrounding area.

Grooming Inside a Full-Service Dog Care Facility

Most standalone groomers offer a single service in a single setting. We offer something different: professional dog grooming inside an established daycare and boarding facility where dogs are already supervised, comfortable, and handled by people they know. That combination matters, especially for dogs that find new environments stressful.

Pet parents can pair grooming with a daycare or boarding stay so their dog comes home clean after a full day at Camp. The exit bath is a popular add-on for boarding guests: scheduled close to pick-up, it means your dog can be bathed, dried, and brushed when you arrive. No separate trip to a groomer, no scheduling gymnastics.

Our pricing is transparent and itemized. You know the cost before the appointment starts, with no hidden fees. And because we have webcams throughout the facility, you can check in on your dog’s grooming session from anywhere. That kind of visibility is a differentiator for dog groomers in the Lawrenceville area.

Grooming Packages & Services

We work with all breeds and sizes, from Mastiffs and Great Danes to Pomeranians and Chihuahuas. Grooming tools are selected by breed and coat type, packages are adaptable as your dog’s needs change across life stages, and we use high-quality, pet-friendly products for every service.

Our services include:

Bath & Brushout: Includes nail trimming and ear cleaning; price varies by breed
Full Service Haircut/Trim: Call for pricing
Trim Only: $15–$20
Nail Trim: $15
Nail Dremel with Groom: $10. Smooths sharp edges after clipping. A good option for dogs sensitive to standard clipper pressure
De-Shedding Treatment: $15–$25
Ear Cleaning: $15
Teeth Brushing: $15
Facial Scrub: $10
Paw Pad Conditioner: $15
Massage Therapy: For dogs that need extra relaxation during their visit
Spa Day Play: $39. Combines supervised playtime with a grooming appointment

Dogs with known skin sensitivities or allergies should be noted at booking so our groomers can select the right products, including hypoallergenic options where appropriate. Double-coated breeds benefit from our de-shedding treatments, which manage the undercoat without damaging the topcoat. For short-haired breeds, a bath and brushout is usually the right fit.

The Benefits of Regular Professional Grooming

Coat & Skin Health

Dogs with longer coats typically need professional grooming every 4 to 6 weeks to prevent matting and keep the coat in good condition. Double-coated and shorter-coated dogs often do well on an 8 to 12-week schedule. Between appointments, regular brushing at home helps maintain coat condition, reduces loose hair around the house, and keeps tangles from forming.

Early Detection

Professional groomers handle the full coat and skin surface during every appointment. That consistent, hands-on contact means unusual lumps, skin irritation, or parasites may be noticed early, before they become bigger problems.

Nail & Paw Care

Most dogs benefit from a nail trim every 3 to 6 weeks, depending on how quickly their nails grow. Overgrown nails affect posture and gait and can split painfully if left untrimmed. Paw pad conditioning helps keep pads from cracking, which matters especially during New Jersey’s cold winters and dry summer heat.

Reducing Grooming Anxiety

Routine grooming builds familiarity over time. Dogs that visit consistently can become more relaxed with the handling, sounds, and environment, making each appointment easier than the last. Our Camp Counselors work at each dog’s pace and build trust through repeat interactions.

Safety & Comfort at Camp Bow Wow Lawrenceville NJ

Every dog visiting for grooming must be current on Rabies, Distemper, Bivalent Flu, and Bordetella vaccines. These requirements support the health of animals in the building. Beyond vaccination, our team follows strict handling protocols and maintains a calm, structured environment throughout every appointment.

Transparent pricing means no surprises at checkout. Webcam access means you can watch the session from your phone or laptop. And because your dog is inside a facility with trained Camp Counselors on the floor all day, they’re not left unattended during routine supervision.

Grooming Through the Seasons in Mercer County

New Jersey’s climate puts real demands on dogs’ coats year-round. Humid summers can worsen skin irritation and trap moisture near the skin, while cold winters dry out paw pads and wear down coat condition. Keeping up with professional grooming through all four seasons, not just the warmer months, helps dogs stay comfortable regardless of what the weather is doing.

Seasonal coat changes are another factor. Many breeds shed heavily in spring and fall as they transition between coats. Professional de-shedding treatments are especially useful during those periods, clearing out the loose undercoat before it piles up at home and allowing the skin to breathe. At-home brushing between appointments helps too, particularly for long-haired breeds where matting can develop quickly.

Consistent professional grooming also supports early detection. Groomers work through the full coat and skin surface at every visit, so they’re well-positioned to notice skin irritation, ticks, or unusual changes that owners might miss during a quick pat-down at home. For Mercer County pet parents who want to stay ahead of potential health issues, regular appointments are a practical complement to routine veterinary care.

Breed-Specific Grooming Considerations

Coat type is one of the most important factors in choosing the right grooming approach. Our groomers work with all breeds and sizes, from large dogs like Mastiffs and Great Danes to smaller breeds like Pomeranians and Chihuahuas, selecting tools based on each dog’s coat characteristics to support a gentle, effective result.

Double-Coated Breeds

Breeds like Siberian Huskies and Australian Shepherds carry a dense undercoat beneath their topcoat. De-shedding techniques help manage that undercoat and reduce seasonal shedding without stripping or damaging the protective topcoat. Shaving double-coated dogs is generally not recommended, as the topcoat plays a role in temperature regulation.

Curly & Wavy Coats

Doodle breeds and other dogs with curly or wavy coats are prone to matting, particularly behind the ears, under the collar, and around the legs. These coats typically need professional grooming more frequently than straight-coated dogs, and regular at-home brushing between appointments is especially important for keeping mats from forming.

Short-Haired Breeds

Boxers, French Bulldogs, Beagles, and similar breeds generally don’t need haircuts, but they still benefit from regular bathing, nail trims, and ear cleaning. A bath and brushout is typically the right service for short-haired dogs and one of the most straightforward appointments we offer.

Nail Grinding vs. Clipping

Standard nail clippers work well for most dogs, but some are sensitive to the pressure of the clipper blade. Nail grinding with a Dremel smooths the nail edge after trimming and can be a more comfortable option for pressure-sensitive dogs. Both clipping and Dremel grinding are available at Camp Bow Wow Lawrenceville NJ in Lawrenceville.

Dog Grooming FAQs

Have questions? Camp Bow Wow Lawrenceville NJ is here to help!

An exit bath is a bath scheduled at the end of your dog’s boarding or daycare stay so they go home clean and fresh after all their Camp adventures. We time it close to pick-up so your pup is dry, brushed, and ready for snuggles when you arrive. Just ask to add an exit bath when you book your Camper’s stay.
Most dogs benefit from a nail trim every 3–6 weeks, but it depends on how fast their nails grow and how much they naturally wear them down. If you can hear your pup’s nails clicking on the floor, it’s usually time for a trim. Our groomers can recommend a schedule that keeps your Camper’s paws healthy and comfortable.
Both nail grinding and clipping can be safe and effective when done properly. Clipping quickly shortens the nail, while grinding can smooth and round the edges, which some pups and pet parents prefer. Our team can talk through the options and help you choose what’s best for your dog’s comfort and nail health.
A typical dog bath service includes a gentle shampoo, a thorough rinse, towel and/or blow dry, and a brush-out suited to your pup’s coat. Some Camps may also offer add-ons like nail trims, ear cleaning, or de-shedding treatments. We’ll always let you know exactly what’s included so your pup gets the most out of their bath time.
Many pet parents love adding a bath at the end of a boarding stay or a big day of play so their pup comes home clean, soft, and cuddle-ready. After all that fun in the play yards, a fresh bath can be a nice finishing touch. Let us know at booking if you’d like to schedule a bath so we can plan your Camper’s “spa time” before pick-up.
