Dog Grooming Near Chic's Beach

Happy Camp Days With A Fresh, Clean Pup

Grooming does not have to feel like a chore for you or a stressful surprise for your dog. At Camp Bow Wow® Virginia Beach, we turn bath day into part of a fun Camp experience where pups play, relax, and head home clean and comfortable. Our team focuses on each dog’s happiness and well-being from drop off to pick up.

Here at our Chic's Beach Camp, grooming happens inside a safe, open-play environment where dogs are monitored throughout the day by our Camp Counselors. Your pup is never just a number on a clipboard. We get to know their personality, energy level, and comfort needs, so grooming fits into a day that feels like a home-away-from-home.

We back this up with a thorough Camper screening process, certified Camp Counselors, and a facility designed for all-day dog play. If you are looking for a grooming option that cares about your dog’s emotional and physical comfort, you are in the right place.

Why Our Grooming Camp Is Different

Many pet parents picture grooming as a long wait in a crate, a quick bath, and then more waiting to go home. We take a different approach. At our Camp, grooming is just one part of an engaging day filled with supervised play, cozy rest, and plenty of TLC. Our goal is for dogs to associate grooming with a day they look forward to.

From the moment your dog arrives, our Camp Counselors are watching over play yards, cabins, and grooming areas. Dogs who join open play are carefully screened through our Camper interview, which helps us learn their temperament and match them with appropriate play groups. This extra step supports a safer, friendlier atmosphere during their time at Camp.

Our groomers work within this environment, not in a back room that feels separate from your pup’s day. We coordinate with our Camp Counselors so dogs can enjoy playtime, take breaks, and get groomed at a pace that makes sense for them. This approach helps many pups stay more relaxed, and you get to pick up a dog who is both clean and pleasantly tired.

We also value transparency for pet parents. Our web cameras give you a window into select play areas so you can peek at your dog while they are enjoying Camp. Combined with our all-inclusive pricing, designed to avoid surprise add-ons, these details help you feel confident choosing our dog groomer near Chic's Beach that families trust for ongoing care.

What To Expect From Your Dog's Groom

Knowing what your dog’s day will look like can make booking grooming feel much easier. When you arrive, our team greets you and does a quick review of your pup’s coat, nails, and any preferences you want us to keep in mind. We talk through coat length goals, comfort needs, and any sensitivities you have noticed at home.

After check-in, dogs who are approved for open play can join appropriate play yards where they romp with other Campers under close supervision. Shyer pups or those who are not part of group play can rest in a cozy cabin with soft bedding and regular check-ins from our Camp Counselors. This time before grooming gives many dogs a chance to settle in and feel comfortable in the space.

When it is time for grooming, your dog heads to our grooming area for their scheduled services. Depending on what you request, this can include a bath, brush, nail trim, ear cleaning, and coat tidy. We always work to handle dogs with patience and care, and we adjust our approach based on how each pup is feeling that day. Our goal is a thorough, clean, and tidy appearance while still keeping the experience as positive as we can.

After grooming, we give dogs a chance to shake it off, relax, and rejoin either play or rest, depending on what suits them best. By the time you arrive for pick up, our team can share how your pup’s day went, what services were completed, and any coat or skin observations we noticed. Many parents tell us they appreciate picking up a dog who smells fresh, looks great, and is happily tired from a full Camp day.

Comfortable Care For Every Type Of Pup

Every dog handles grooming a little differently. Some strut into the salon like it is a red-carpet event, while others feel unsure about new sounds and sensations. We take the time to notice those differences and adjust the day so each pup has the best chance to feel comfortable.

For anxious or first-time grooming dogs, slowing the pace can help. We may keep play groups smaller, offer more breaks, and let them take in the environment before we begin. Our Camp Counselors and groomers communicate about how a dog is doing, so we can respond if they need a moment to relax before continuing.

Energetic pups, including many who love splashing at Chic's Beach, often benefit from playtime before grooming. Burning off some energy in our indoor and outdoor yards, under watchful human eyes, can make it easier for them to stand still during a bath or nail trim. By the time they get to the grooming table, they are usually more willing to cooperate.

Senior dogs or those with lower stamina may need a softer approach. For these pups, we focus on shorter play sessions or extra cabin time and work carefully to support joints and balance during grooming. Our combination of cabins for rest, monitored play areas, and caring staff helps us create a personalized balance of exercise, socialization, and downtime so each dog finishes the day clean and content.

Grooming At Your Chic's Beach Camp

Life in Chic's Beach often means sandy paws, salty fur, and plenty of outdoor fun. Regular grooming is one way to help keep your dog’s skin and coat comfortable after all that seaside adventure. At our Camp, we welcome local pups who love the beach and give them a place to rinse off, freshen up, and spend a happy day with friends.

Many families appreciate the convenience of combining services. You can drop your dog off for daycare and schedule grooming to happen during their visit, or plan a bath and tidy at the end of a boarding stay. This way, your pup enjoys a full experience at our location near Chic's Beach and comes home clean after their time away.

We support a safe environment by using a Camper interview and confirming that dogs in open play meet our vaccination and behavior requirements. This extra layer of screening helps protect your dog and others who share our play yards and cabins.

Our pricing is transparent and all-inclusive, so you know what to expect when you book grooming at our local Camp.

When you are ready, our team can help schedule your visit and answer any questions about how grooming works here in the area.

Frequently Asked Questions

How will my dog spend the day during grooming?

Your dog typically spends the day rotating between supervised play and cozy rest, with grooming scheduled in between. Dogs approved for open play enjoy time in our indoor and outdoor yards. Others relax in cabins with regular check-ins. We work to match the day to your pup’s needs.

Can my dog do daycare and grooming on the same visit?

Yes, many families choose to combine daycare and grooming in a single visit. Your dog can play and socialize during the day, then head to the grooming area for their scheduled services. This saves you time and often helps pups feel calmer because grooming fits into a familiar Camp routine.

How do you keep dogs safe and calm while grooming?

We focus on safety and comfort through supervision, screening, and gentle handling. Our certified Camp Counselors monitor dogs throughout the day, and our Camper interview helps us understand each pup’s temperament. Groomers work at a pace that respects how each dog feels, with breaks and rest when needed.

Do I need a Camper interview before booking grooming?

If your dog will join our open-play daycare or boarding during grooming, a Camper interview is required first. This visit helps us confirm that group play is a good fit and keeps our play yards safe. If you only want grooming, our team can explain current requirements when you call.

Can I check on my dog while they are at Camp?

Yes, our web cameras let you peek into select play areas during your dog’s visit. You can log in during the day to see how they are doing. Our team is also available to share updates at pick up or by phone if you have specific questions about their grooming visit.
