Dog Grooming That Fits Into Daycare or Overnight Camp Stays

Choosing a groomer can feel like a big decision when your dog is part of the family. At Camp Bow Wow Allentown^®, we make grooming part of a complete Camp experience. Eligible pups can enjoy supervised play, rest, and gentle care during the same visit.

Our Allentown location offers bathing, nail trimming, full service grooming, and other coat-care options for Bethlehem pet parents. Grooming can be scheduled during dog daycare or an overnight stay, making it easier to manage your dog’s care with one planned drop-off.

If you’re looking for a dog groomer serving Bethlehem, we’re ready to discuss your pup’s coat condition, skin needs, demeanor, and requested service at our Allentown Camp.

Call our team at (610) 365-4301 to discuss your dog’s grooming needs, or visit our Allentown Camp online to start planning their visit.

Grooming as Part of the Complete Camp Experience

At Camp Bow Wow Allentown, grooming doesn’t have to be your dog’s only activity of the day. Dogs eligible for dog daycare can enjoy supervised play before and after their appointment, with time to rest based on their routine and energy level.

Our open-play environment gives approved Campers room to run and socialize in indoor and outdoor play yards. Certified Camp Counselors monitor Camp activities and watch the dogs’ body language throughout the day. Pet parents can also check the play areas through our web cameras during designated viewing periods.

Bathing or grooming can be added to daycare or an eligible boarding stay. Training is also available, giving families one place to coordinate several dog-care needs instead of scheduling a separate grooming-only trip.

What to Expect on Your Dog’s Grooming Day

When you arrive at Camp, our groomer discusses your dog’s hair and skin condition to determine an appropriate approach. You can share information about matting, shedding, sensitivities, desired styling, prior grooming experiences, or handling concerns. This conversation helps us understand the requested service before grooming begins.

Services, Pricing, & Pickup

Available grooming options include:

• Baths and full service grooming
• Deshedding and brushing based on coat condition
• Nail clipping or nail grinding
• Ear cleaning and teeth brushing
• Hypoallergenic shampoo or upgraded shampoo and conditioner
• Paw balm

Your requested bath, brush, nail trim, or full service grooming appointment is completed by our grooming team. The appropriate approach may depend on your dog’s coat, skin condition, matting, styling needs, and demeanor.

Pricing isn’t one-size-fits-all. It can vary based on the size of breed, length of hair, amount of brushing, matting, skin conditions, styling, and your pup’s demeanor. Additional fees may apply, so we can review available services and current starting prices when you make a reservation.

Pickup timing also varies by dog and requested service. We refine the estimate at drop-off, then text or call approximately 30 minutes before your dog is ready. When grooming is paired with daycare or boarding, we coordinate the service with your pup’s other Camp activities.

Safety, Vaccination, & Comfort Requirements

Every dog joining group play must first complete an initial Camper Interview. This process allows us to learn about your pup’s social style before introducing them to other approved Campers. A grooming appointment alone doesn’t automatically include group play.

Grooming clients are responsible for providing proof of current rabies, distemper, and Bordetella vaccinations. A completed Grooming Waiver is also required if one isn’t already on file. Contact us before the appointment if you have questions about either requirement.

Please tell us about allergies, skin sensitivities, medical considerations, handling concerns, or previous reactions during grooming. Your dog’s condition or demeanor may require adjustments to the service scope, handling, or timing. Additional fees may apply when coat condition, matting, or your pup’s demeanor requires extra time or care.

We monitor dogs throughout Camp activities and provide opportunities for rest. If your pup participates in daycare, you can use the web cameras to view the play areas at our Allentown Camp during designated hours. The cameras show Camp play, not the grooming space.

Convenient Dog Grooming for Bethlehem Pet Parents

Grooming at Camp Bow Wow Allentown can fit into a daycare day or boarding stay. One scheduled drop-off can cover supervised play, overnight care, and coat maintenance based on the services your dog needs.

Instead of arranging a separate grooming-only errand, you can drop off your pup for Camp and choose bathing services to help support a clean, content dog. This option can be especially convenient when you’re planning boarding plus grooming or want bathing services after an active day of play.

Grooming can be useful:

• Before or after boarding when you want grooming before your dog returns home
• After active daycare when your pup needs a bath
• When shedding increases and you want assistance managing loose fur
• As part of a regular bathing, brushing, or nail-care routine

Pairing grooming with a Camp stay can reduce the number of separate pet-care trips your household needs to schedule. It also allows eligible dogs to balance grooming with appropriate opportunities for play and rest.

If your dog isn’t attending daycare on the grooming date, early drop-off or late pickup may result in an additional fee. Late cancellations and missed appointments may also carry a fee. Ask about current scheduling policies and fees when reserving your visit.
