Local Dog Grooming Insights & Considerations

Newark’s changing seasons bring unique challenges for pet grooming. In the colder months, dogs may develop thicker coats or dry skin, necessitating more frequent grooming to prevent matting and skin irritations. Warmer months require regular bathing to remove dirt and allergens, especially for active pups who love outdoor adventures. At Camp Bow Wow, we adjust our dog grooming strategies according to the season and your pet’s needs, ensuring optimal comfort and cleanliness all year round.

Moreover, Newark's vibrant pet-friendly community provides a great opportunity for socialization, which is essential for your dog’s emotional well-being. Our grooming services embrace this community spirit, creating an environment where your dog can socialize in a structured setting. We strive to integrate elements of play into the grooming routine where possible, making the experience not just essential hygiene, but also enjoyable for your dog.

Treat your furry friend to a positive and stress-free grooming experience at Camp Bow Wow in Newark. Our gentle and caring team will make your dog look and feel their best. Call  (302) 532-1198 or contact us online to book an appointment.


Frequently Asked Questions


How Often Should My Dog Be Groomed?

Grooming frequency depends largely on your dog’s breed, coat type, and lifestyle. Generally, dogs with longer hair should be groomed more frequently, approximately every 4-6 weeks. Short-haired breeds might only need grooming every few months. However, active dogs or those with skin conditions may require more frequent visits. 

Regular grooming helps in quickly identifying issues like ticks, fleas, and skin irritations, contributing to overall pet health. If you’re looking for a dog groomer near me, Camp Bow Wow offers flexible scheduling options to suit your needs.

What Are the Benefits of Professional Dog Grooming?

Professional grooming offers numerous benefits beyond a clean, sleek appearance. Groomers can detect early signs of health issues such as lumps, infections, or skin disorders. Grooming also includes nail trimming, ear cleaning, and teeth brushing, essential for maintaining hygiene and preventing diseases. 

Professional dog grooming services know the best techniques to minimize stress and discomfort, ensuring a pleasant experience for your pet.

What Should I Do to Prepare My Dog for Grooming?

To prepare your dog for grooming, it's helpful to get them accustomed to being handled, especially around sensitive areas like the paws and ears. Regular brushing at home can also make the transition to professional grooming easier. 

Ensure your dog has had time to relieve themselves before their grooming session, and bring any specific products if your pet has special needs or allergies. If you're searching for dog grooming near me, ensure you're ready for a seamless experience with these tips.

Are There Specific Grooming Policies I Should Know?

Yes, ensuring your dog is up-to-date with vaccinations and health requirements is essential before any grooming session. This includes rabies, distemper, and bordetella vaccinations. Also, ensure a smooth session by notifying the grooming staff of any allergies or behavioral issues beforehand. 

Our team values open communication to accommodate your pet’s needs safely and effectively. Camp Bow Wow in Newark is dedicated to providing the best dog grooming service by adhering to these guidelines.

How Can Grooming Help With My Dog's Shedding?

Regular grooming significantly reduces shedding by removing loose fur and promoting healthier skin. Techniques such as deshedding treatments can be applied to specific breeds prone to heavy shedding. These treatments also help improve air circulation at the coat level, keeping your pet cool and reducing the fur clouds that may linger in your home. 

Regular grooming promotes a healthy, shiny coat, minimizing shedding-related inconveniences. If you're in Newark and in need of a dog groomer, our services are tailored to support your pet’s comfort and wellbeing.

Grooming Requirements

  • Owners of dogs coming in for grooming are responsible for providing proof of current vaccinations:
    • Rabies
    • Distemper
    • We are phasing in the canine influenza vaccine requirement. All dogs at Camp will be required to have the canine influenza vaccine by 3/1/2025.
  • Bordetella vaccinations. If the bordetella vaccination has never been given or has expired a waiting period is needed so dogs can build immunity before coming to Camp. The waiting periods are:
    • One-week period after receiving the injectable or oral vaccination
    • 48-hours is required after receiving the intranasal vaccination
    • We strongly recommend Campers get bordetella boosters every 6 months no matter what type of administration their vet uses. This gives Campers added immunity and has been shown to reduce symptom severity if exposed. Staff dogs that come to Camp are required to follow this 6 month booster policy.

If a dog is heavily matted, he/she may need to be shaved because removing mats can be very uncomfortable. We know comfort is important to all of us. Owners will be given an estimate prior to starting if extra time is needed or shaving is recommended.

Additionally, our grooming staff is here to assist with preventative care, helping keep your dog healthy and comfortable. Regular grooming sessions can aid in detecting skin issues or other health concerns early on, ensuring your dog remains in optimal health. 

Feel free to contact us at (302) 532-1198 or online to discuss any specific concerns or needs you may have with our friendly staff, who are committed to ensuring each grooming session is tailored to your dog's unique requirements.
