Who we are
We will take care of your pet as if they are our own
Grooming Girls is your premier salon for pet grooming in the heart of Brookville, Indiana since 2015. We love animals and we take pride in what we do. We always provide a happy, safe, nurturing and friendly environment so your pet will have a warm grooming experience.
We offer full grooming services for all breeds of dogs and cats by one of our Certified Pet Stylists. We also offer express grooming services for an additional fee for those pets that need to be in and out quickly due to Health conditions or dogs that simply cannot be crated due to anxiety or stress. Please discuss this with an associate upon booking if you are in need of an express appointment as it must be scheduled as the first appointment of the day.
All of our grooming services are by appointments only, except for nail trimming and ear cleaning. We do offer walk in availability for Nail trimming and ear cleaning ONLY during our regular business hours.
We do not use cage dryers!
We specialize in hand drying which is a much safer method and more personal for your pets. Instead to be placed in a crate with hot dryers, one of our groomers spend time one on one with your pet hand drying them using the many different drying techniques. This helps reduce stress from being crated and helps us build a trusting relationship with your pet. Hand drying also produces a much better finishing haircut without the “wet dog” smell. It leaves your pet looking fabulous and smelling Amazing!!
What makes Grooming Girls so AMAZING?
All of our groomers are nationally certified from an accredited pet grooming program and have undergone extensive training in pet styling along with small animal first aid and CPR
We are now encouraging all clients to schedule appointments using our online booking application. Our groomers are very busy working with your pets, and cannot safely step away from them while grooming. We like to give your pets are full undivided attention, therefore booking your appointments online is highly encouraged. As always if you are having trouble or have questions, please give us a call. If we do not answer right away, it is because we are working with a pet so please leave us a message. We check messages periodically throughout the day and will return your phone call by the end of the business day.
