Small Dog Grooming Specialists
Big personality deserves specialized care. Expert grooming for toy and miniature breeds in Lynchburg VA.
Little Dogs, Big Needs
Small dogs aren't just "easier" versions of big dogs. They have unique grooming needs — more delicate skin, finer coats, teeth that need extra attention, and often, bigger attitudes about being handled.
At busy grooming shops, small dogs often get intimidated by larger dogs, rushed through appointments, or handled by groomers more experienced with bigger breeds. That's not how it works here.
Breeds We Specialize In
Yorkie Grooming
Yorkshire Terriers have silky, fine coats that require careful attention. We offer puppy cuts, teddy bear cuts, and longer styles with proper maintenance. Tear stain cleanup included.

Poms have gorgeous double coats that need regular brushing and proper deshedding. We shape and maintain their fluffy look without over-trimming.

Why Small Dogs Love It Here
No Big Dogs Around
Your small dog won't be intimidated by large dogs barking from cages. It's just them and me — no scary big dogs to worry about.
Right-Sized Equipment
Smaller tubs, tables at the right height, and tools designed for delicate work on tiny dogs.
Temperature Control
Small dogs get cold fast. We keep them warm and comfortable throughout the entire grooming process.
Yorkie Grooming in Lynchburg VA
Yorkshire Terriers are one of our most popular breeds. Their fine, silky coats are beautiful but require regular maintenance to prevent matting and tangles.
Popular Yorkie cuts we offer:
- Puppy Cut — Same length all over, easy to maintain
- Teddy Bear Cut — Rounded face, slightly longer body
- Show Cut — Long, flowing coat (requires frequent brushing at home)
- Modified Schnauzer — Shorter body, longer legs and face
We also address common Yorkie issues like tear staining, ear cleaning (they're prone to ear problems), and dental hygiene.
Pomeranian Grooming Services
Pomeranians have that gorgeous fluffy double coat that makes them look like little lions. Proper Pom grooming maintains their shape without over-trimming, which can damage their coat.
What we do for Poms:
- Gentle deshedding to remove loose undercoat
- Shaping to maintain their rounded, fluffy silhouette
- Sanitary trim and paw pad cleaning
- Ear cleaning and nail trim
- Optional teddy bear face trim
Note: We don't recommend shaving Pomeranians. Their double coat protects them and may not grow back properly if shaved.
Chihuahua Grooming Care
Chihuahuas may be tiny, but they have big personalities — and often strong opinions about being groomed! We handle both long coat and smooth coat Chihuahuas with gentle patience.
For smooth coat Chihuahuas: bath, nail trim, ear cleaning, and a light brush. For long coat Chihuahuas: full brush out, sanitary trim, ear feathering maintenance, and styling.
