Dog Grooming in Lakewood, CO

Bathing & Nail Trimming During Your Dog’s Camp Stay

What’s better than picking up a happy dog from Camp? Picking up a clean one.

Camp Bow Wow Lakewood South offers nail trimming and bathing in Lakewood, CO, designed to fit around your day. Instead of scheduling a separate appointment at a standalone salon, you can add grooming to an existing daycare or boarding reservation and pick up a freshly bathed dog on your way home.

That’s the idea behind our exit bath: a bath scheduled at the end of your dog’s boarding or daycare stay so they go home clean without any extra stops. For pet parents commuting along Wadsworth Boulevard or U.S. Route 6, it’s one less errand on an already full day. Your dog gets the bath. You get the time back.

Our commitment to your pup’s comfort:

Spacious Bath and Brush Areas: Designed for a stress-free experience.
Premium Products: Gentle, high-quality shampoos and conditioners.
Safe and Thorough Drying: No rushed or uncomfortable drying techniques.
Stable, Comfortable Grooming Surfaces: Supporting a secure, relaxed experience.

Give your pup the pampering they deserve. Call us at (720) 303-5446 or schedule online to book your dog’s grooming appointment in Lakewood.

How Regular Grooming Supports Your Dog’s Health

Grooming does more than keep your dog looking good. Done consistently, it supports skin and coat health, can flag early signs of trouble, and helps keep your dog comfortable day to day.

Healthier Skin and Coat: Regular brushing removes dirt, prevents matting, and distributes natural oils so the coat stays clean and conditioned between baths.
Better Hygiene: Proper grooming reduces odors, helps support skin health, and limits the conditions where parasites can take hold.
Early Detection: A professional bath or brush-out is an opportunity to notice skin irritations, lumps, or abnormalities that might otherwise go unnoticed at home.
Less Shedding Indoors: Routine brushing pulls out loose fur before it ends up on your furniture and floors.
Nail Health: Long nails put stress on your dog’s joints and can cause discomfort when walking. Regular trims help keep them at a safe, comfortable length.
A More Comfortable Dog: A clean, well-groomed dog tends to be more at ease, and pairing grooming with a familiar daycare or boarding stay means the experience starts somewhere your dog already knows.

Professional Nail Trimming at Camp Bow Wow

Nail trims at home can go sideways fast. Cutting the quick (the sensitive structure inside the nail containing blood vessels and nerves) causes pain and bleeding, and dogs that have had one bad experience often become harder to handle at future appointments. Professional groomers are trained to avoid this, and consistency matters just as much as technique.

Here’s how we approach nail trims:

Minimized Risk: Our team works carefully to avoid the quick, helping keep each trim clean and comfortable.
Paced to Your Dog: We take the time to understand your dog’s comfort level with paw handling and move at a pace that feels right for them.
Routine Reinforcement: Consistent appointments can make future trims progressively easier, especially for dogs that are nervous about their paws being touched.
Built Into Camp: If your pup already attends daycare or boarding with us, we can coordinate a nail trim during that same visit so it becomes a natural part of their Camp routine rather than a separate errand.

Nail trims are $14. For pet parents looking for a dog groomer in Lakewood who handles nervous or first-time dogs with patience, our approach to gentle handling starts before the first nail is clipped.

Bath Packages & the Exit Bath Option

We offer bath options sized to your dog and built to fit your schedule. Adding a bath to a daycare or boarding visit is straightforward, and our team can walk you through drop-off and pick-up timing so you can plan your day while your pup is being cleaned up.

Current bath pricing:

Bath Package: $51 (includes nail trim, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, and bath)
Small Bath: $26
Medium Bath: $31
Large Bath: $35

The exit bath is our most popular way to combine services. Scheduled at the end of a boarding or daycare stay, it means your dog heads home clean right as you’re arriving to pick them up. No second trip to a salon and no muddy paws in the car from the trail they just rolled in.

Lakewood’s parks, creek corridors, and hiking access mean plenty of dogs come home from outdoor time carrying more than they should. Our team can help you find a grooming frequency that supports your dog’s skin and coat without overbathing, which can strip the natural oils that protect the coat. Whether your pup needs a bath once a month or after every muddy adventure, we can recommend a schedule that fits their coat type and how they spend their time outside.

Why Lakewood Pet Parents Choose Camp Bow Wow Lakewood South for Grooming

A standalone grooming salon offers one thing. Camp Bow Wow Lakewood South offers grooming as part of a full day of care your dog is already comfortable with. That difference matters, especially for dogs that find new environments stressful.

What sets our Lakewood dog grooming apart:

A Familiar Environment: Dogs that already attend daycare or boarding here are groomed in a space they know, around Camp Counselors they recognize. That familiarity can make a real difference in how a dog handles the process.
Live Webcam Access: Our webcams let you check in on your dog in real time during their Camp stay, so you’re not left wondering how things are going.
Transparent Pricing: No surprise charges at pick-up. Our bath and nail trim pricing is listed clearly, and our Bath Package bundles nail trim, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, and bath into one flat rate.
Camper Screening: Every dog at Camp Bow Wow Lakewood South goes through our Camper screening process, which evaluates temperament before a dog joins the facility. Your dog is in a vetted environment.
One Visit, Multiple Services: Grooming, daycare, and boarding are all available in a single drop-off. For busy Lakewood families, that’s one pick-up instead of three.

What to Expect at Your Dog’s First Grooming Visit

We know dropping your pup off for grooming for the first time can feel a little nerve-wracking. When you arrive, we’ll talk through your dog’s coat type, daily routine, and any sensitivities so we can tailor the appointment to their needs. It’s also a good time to mention any tangles, dry spots, or concerns you’ve noticed at home so we can pay special attention to those areas during the bath or brush-out.

After check-in, your dog will be guided to our grooming area and given a moment to settle in before we begin. Throughout the visit, we focus on calm handling, plenty of praise, and steady movements so each step feels predictable rather than overwhelming.

Before your dog heads home, we’ll give you a quick update on how the visit went and share tips for at-home brushing or between-visit care. If your dog does best on a set schedule, we can help plan future appointments based on how quickly their nails grow or how often their coat tends to mat. Knowing what to expect from check-in to pick-up can make each visit feel easier for both of you.

Dog Grooming FAQs

Have questions? Camp Bow Wow Lakewood South 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.
