Boise’s Trusted Professional Dog Grooming Service

Whether your dog needs a routine dog bath and haircut, a de-shedding treatment, or specialized care for puppies and senior dogs, professional dog grooming plays an important role in health, comfort, and overall well-being.


At Grooming by Rhonda, every dog is treated as an individual. Each appointment begins with an assessment of coat type, skin condition, temperament, and specific owner requests. This ensures services are tailored to your pet’s needs while prioritizing safety and comfort.


Our approach focuses on gentle handling, thorough grooming, and practical guidance for maintaining your dog’s coat and hygiene between visits. The result is a dog that looks great, feels comfortable, and stays healthier long term.

Why Professional Dog Grooming Matters

Professional grooming is more than appearance. It supports preventive health care and helps identify potential issues early.


Regular nail trimming prevents painful breaks and posture problems. Ear cleaning reduces the risk of infections and chronic irritation. Routine bathing and de-shedding help maintain healthy skin and reduce excess shedding in your home.


During grooming sessions, early signs of skin conditions, dental concerns, or parasite exposure may be detected. Matted fur can trap moisture and bacteria, leading to discomfort or infection. Proper coat maintenance ensures your dog can move comfortably and stay clean.


For puppies and senior dogs, professional grooming provides a controlled, low-stress environment designed to meet their specific physical and emotional needs.

We provide thorough dog bath and haircut services for all coat types. Double-coated breeds benefit from de-shedding and blowouts, while curly or textured coats receive careful clipper and scissor work.

Ear and Dental Care

Ear cleaning and cosmetic dog teeth cleaning are offered during grooming appointments to support hygiene and comfort. If more advanced care is needed, we recommend consultation with a veterinarian.

Puppy and Senior Grooming

Puppies receive shorter, positive grooming sessions to build confidence and familiarity. Senior dogs benefit from slower handling, extra support, and frequent breaks to ensure comfort.

Safety and Comfort

All equipment is sanitized between appointments, and grooming areas are cleaned thoroughly. Rhonda uses breed-appropriate tools and adapts the process if a dog requires additional time or care.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should my dog be groomed?

    Most short-haired breeds benefit from grooming every 6 to 12 weeks. Medium and long-coated breeds often require grooming every 6 to 8 weeks. Puppies and seniors may benefit from shorter, more frequent visits.

  • Do you work with anxious or reactive dogs?

    Yes. Rhonda uses calm, patient techniques and can allow additional time for dogs that need extra reassurance. We recommend discussing any behavioral concerns before the appointment.

  • What is included in a standard dog bath and haircut?

    A standard service includes a brush-out, bath with professional shampoo, conditioning as needed, thorough drying, haircut or trim, ear cleaning, and finishing touches. Nail trimming or grinding can be added upon request.

  • Are flea and tick baths safe?

    We use veterinarian-grade products and follow all safety instructions. Please inform us of any medical conditions or sensitivities before treatment.

  • How should I prepare my dog for the first appointment?

    Provide any medical information, avoid feeding a large meal just before the visit, and consider bringing a familiar item for comfort. Puppies may benefit from short acclimation visits.

Service Assurance

We prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication. Grooming tools are sanitized between appointments, and grooming stations are thoroughly cleaned. Up-to-date vaccination records are required for all dogs.
