Drop Off for Daycare, Pick Up a Clean Dog

What’s better than picking up a happy dog from Camp? Picking up a clean one. At Camp Bow Wow Cary, professional bathing and nail trimming are add-ons to an existing daycare or boarding visit, so your pup plays, rests, and gets cleaned up all in one trip. No separate grooming errand. No squeezing another stop into your day.

Bathing a dog at home is time-consuming, messy, and often stressful for everyone involved. When you add grooming to your pup’s Camp day, we handle the cleanup while your dog enjoys a familiar environment they already know and love. Our team adjusts water temperature, handling style, and timing to each dog’s preferences, so grooming feels like a natural extension of the day rather than an interruption.

Here’s how grooming at Camp makes life easier for you and your pup:

Designed-for-dogs spaces that include non-slip surfaces, gentle water pressure, and drying options suited to both short coats and thick, fluffy ones.
Thoughtful scheduling so your dog has time to play and rest before their bath, rather than feeling rushed from one activity to the next.
Convenient add-on options that coordinate a bath or nail trim toward the end of a daycare or boarding visit, so your dog goes home fresh, tidy, and ready to relax with you.
Trusted local care in a setting your dog already recognizes, which can help many pups approach grooming with far less fuss than they would at an unfamiliar salon.

Call (984) 464-8592 or book online to add a professional scrub and nail trim to your dog’s next Camp visit.

Why Cary Pet Parents Add Grooming to Their Camp Visit

When you’re looking for a dog groomer in Cary, you want more than a quick bath. You want a place where your dog feels comfortable and recognized each time. At Camp, grooming happens in an environment your dog already associates with play and positive experiences, which can help even water-shy pups feel calmer on the table.

Every dog’s coat and nail needs are different. Active dogs that spend time on local greenways or in the backyard may need more frequent baths to manage dirt and odor. Long-coated breeds benefit from routine brushing and nail care to stay comfortable between visits. Our team pays attention to coat condition and nail length during each visit and can suggest a grooming rhythm that fits your dog and your schedule.

We communicate clearly about what each service includes, how long it takes, and how it pairs with daycare or boarding. The exit bath is scheduled close to pick-up time, so your Camper is dry, brushed, and ready to go home when you arrive.

Low-Stress Dog Grooming Built into a Camp Day

Our grooming philosophy centers on a low-stress approach that integrates essential hygiene into a day of familiar fun at Camp. At Camp Bow Wow Cary, we take the chore out of coat maintenance by offering professional bathing and nail services in a setting your pup already trusts, so they return home smelling fresh and feeling relaxed.

We prioritize your dog’s emotional well-being as much as their physical cleanliness. Our team uses gentle handling techniques and dog-centric equipment to help even the most water-shy Campers feel secure from the first scrub to the final towel dry. Whether your dog is a regular daycare visitor or staying with us for a boarding weekend, grooming at Camp means you skip the messy bathroom cleanup and head straight to the evening snuggles.

Dog Grooming in Cary for Every Breed & Size

Our grooming services accommodate all breeds and sizes, from compact small dogs to large and giant breeds. The setup at Camp Bow Wow Cary includes spacious bath and brush areas, high-quality products, safe and thorough drying, and stable, comfortable surfaces throughout.

Dogs with double coats or heavy undercoats benefit especially from our Deshed Treatment, which uses conditioning and high-velocity drying to remove loose fur before it ends up on your furniture. Paw pad trimming removes excess hair between the pads, helping dogs stay sure-footed on smooth indoor surfaces.

You don’t need a separate grooming-only appointment. Grooming is coordinated as part of an existing daycare or boarding reservation, keeping the logistics simple. The Camper screening process already in place for daycare and boarding applies here too, so your dog is cleaned up in the same monitored, familiar environment where they spend the rest of their day.

How Often Does Your Dog Need Professional Grooming?

Most dogs benefit from a nail trim every few weeks, depending on how quickly their nails grow and how much natural wear happens on daily walks. If you can hear your dog’s nails clicking on hard floors, that’s a reliable sign a trim is overdue. Left too long, overgrown nails can affect a dog’s gait and place unnecessary stress on their joints.

Regular bathing and brushing reduce shedding buildup, minimize skin irritation, and control odor between visits. The right frequency depends on your dog’s coat type, activity level, and how much time they spend outdoors. A dog groomer in Cary who already knows your pup from daycare or boarding can be better positioned to suggest a routine that fits your dog rather than a one-size-fits-all schedule.

For most pet parents, the biggest friction point isn’t the grooming itself. It’s booking and traveling to a separate appointment on top of everything else. Folding grooming into an existing Camp visit removes that friction, making it easier to stay consistent and keep your dog comfortable year-round.

Dog Grooming FAQs

Have questions? Camp Bow Wow Cary 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.
