Dog Grooming in American Fork

Professional Grooming Paired with a Full Day of Play

At Camp Bow Wow, we offer dog grooming services to American Fork, UT, pet parents who want more than a basic salon visit. Our dog grooming areas are specially designed for your pup’s comfort, and every session uses high-quality, dog-safe products tailored to your dog’s coat and skin. Whether your pup is coming in just for a groom or spending the day at Camp, you pick up a squeaky-clean pup ready to curl up at home.

Grooming is available as a standalone service or as an add-on to a daycare or boarding stay. That pairing means your furry friend arrives at the grooming table already relaxed from hours of supervised open play, making the whole experience calmer for everyone. Customizable grooming packages let us tailor each session to your dog’s individual needs.

Why American Fork Pet Parents Choose Camp Bow Wow for Grooming

Our groomer Brianna brings more than five years of professional experience to every session. Her foundation comes from an apprenticeship with show groomers, which sharpened her skills in breed-specific grooming, coat structure, and precise detail work. She uses gentle, low-stress handling throughout and adjusts her approach for nervous pups and senior dogs who need extra patience.

A few more things that set our dog grooming services apart:

Transparent, all-inclusive pricing: No hidden fees. You know what you’re paying before Brianna picks up a brush.
No Camper Interview required: Grooming-only clients don’t need to complete the Camper Interview process. Booking is straightforward.
Live Camper Cams: If your pup is combining a camp stay with grooming, you can check in anytime through our webcams.
Camp Counselors on the floor all day: Our Camp Counselors monitor every dog in open play, so your pup is in attentive hands from arrival to pickup.

Vaccination requirements for grooming visits are Rabies, Distemper, Bivalent Flu, and Bordetella. These apply to grooming-only appointments and help support a safe environment for every dog in our care.

What to Expect During Your Pup’s Grooming Session

Every grooming visit at Camp Bow Wow starts with a personalized consultation. Brianna takes time to understand your dog’s coat type, any sensitivities, and what you’re hoping to achieve. If your pup is nervous or getting on in years, she notes that too and adjusts her pace and handling accordingly.

After the consultation, your dog receives a gentle bath using high-quality, dog-safe products that cleanse and condition the coat. Every standard session also includes:

Ear cleaning
Nail trimming
Coat brushing

Optional add-ons are available if your pup needs a little more. Teeth brushing and de-shedding treatments are the two most commonly requested. Brianna works with dogs of all temperaments and coat types, so whether your four-legged family member is a wiry terrier or a double-coated shepherd, the approach fits the dog.

Throughout the session, we keep communication open. If anything comes up during the groom, we’ll let you know. Pet parents adding grooming to a daycare or boarding stay can request an exit bath timed close to pickup, so your pup is dry and ready to head home when you arrive.

Dog Grooming in American Fork: Common Questions

How Often Should My Dog Be Groomed?

Most dogs do well with professional grooming every four to six weeks. Dogs with longer or thicker coats often benefit from more frequent visits to prevent matting and manage shedding. Utah’s variable climate, with dry summers and cold winters, can put extra stress on a dog’s coat and skin, so staying on a consistent schedule helps year-round.

What’s Included in a Standard Grooming Package?

Every standard session includes a bath, ear cleaning, nail trimming, and coat brushing. Optional add-ons include teeth brushing and de-shedding treatments. For pricing and package details specific to American Fork, contact Camp directly.

Do I Need to Complete a Camper Interview for a Grooming-Only Visit?

No. Grooming-only clients don’t need to pass the Camper Interview process. You do need to provide proof of current vaccinations before the visit: Rabies, Distemper, Bivalent Flu, and Bordetella.

Can I Add a Bath to My Pup’s Boarding or Daycare Stay?

Yes. Adding a bath to your pup’s stay is one of the most popular options we offer. We can time the groom close to your pickup so your dog goes home clean, exercised, and ready to relax. One trip, everything handled.

Why Regular Professional Grooming Matters for Your Dog

A professional groom does more than keep your pup looking tidy. Regular grooming removes dead coat, reduces matting, and gives groomers an up-close look at your dog’s skin, which can help them spot potential issues like dry patches, unusual lumps, or early signs of parasites.

Nail trimming every few weeks is one of the most overlooked parts of dog care. Overgrown nails can alter the way a dog walks and put ongoing pressure on joints. Ear cleaning removes excess wax and moisture that can build up over time, particularly in floppy-eared breeds prone to infections.

Dogs with double coats or heavy undercoats benefit especially from de-shedding treatments, which pull out trapped undercoat before it ends up on your furniture and floors. Utah’s dry climate can affect a dog’s skin and coat as well, and the conditioning products used during a professional groom can help support moisture between visits.

Starting early makes a difference too. A dog introduced to professional grooming as a puppy may be more likely to stay calm and cooperative throughout life. Consistency can help make grooming a low-stress routine rather than a stressful event.

Dog Grooming FAQs

Have questions? Camp Bow Wow 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.
