Dog Grooming

The Modern Canine is not a corporate facility nor a franchise. Being an independently and locally-owned business, we pride ourselves on being an all-inclusive salon that utilizes only the best dog grooming products. We do not use cheap dog grooming brands, as we always want our clients looking & feeling their best after each appointment!
Although we are not a 1-on-1 salon, we do not support mass drop-offs so our groomers are usually never working on more than two dogs at a time and dogs are usually here 1-3 hours at most, depending on services provided. We strive to maintain a calm and clean environment for all dogs to ensure their safety and comfortability. 
The Modern Canine is not a crate-free salon. Crates are utilized anytime a dog is not being actively worked on - this is to ensure everyone's safety. There are many risks involved such as: sharp tools being dropped, not every dog being dog-friendly, etc. Crates are a safe space for your dog to hang out in while they wait.
We offer a variety of services and grooming packages, as described below!
