Breed-Specific and Custom Grooming

Our groomers are trained in the specific grooming requirements for all AKC-recognized breeds. This ensures your pet’s haircut meets the proper structure, shape, and presentation for their breed — whether it's a poodle, schnauzer, cocker spaniel, shih tzu, or terrier.



But we also know that many of our clients have mixed breeds, rescues, or simply want something custom. That’s why we offer fully personalized grooming services. We’ll talk with you before your pet’s appointment to understand your preferences, lifestyle, and what will work best for your pet’s coat, behavior, and maintenance routine.


Whether you want a traditional look or a unique style that reflects your pet’s personality, we’re happy to create a groom that works for both of you.

What’s Included in a Grooming Appointment

Our full grooming service includes everything your pet needs to look and feel their best:

  • Coat brushing and detangling
  • A gentle, thorough bath with coat-specific shampoos
  • Blow drying by hand or with a low-heat dryer
  • Nail trimming and paw pad checks
  • Ear cleaning and light ear hair removal if needed
  • Anal gland expression upon request or as needed
  • Haircut and styling according to breed standards or custom preference
  • Final brush out and finishing touches


We groom both short and long-haired pets, including curly coats, double coats, drop coats, and wire-haired textures. If your dog is prone to matting or excessive shedding, we’ll recommend a grooming schedule and at-home tips to keep their coat in great shape between visits.

Gentle Grooming for Nervous or Senior Pets

At Featherle Pet Care Chantilly, we understand that not every dog enjoys grooming. Some dogs may be fearful, elderly, or have had a negative experience in the past. Our groomers are specially trained to work with nervous dogs, offering extra patience and calm handling.


We create a quiet, low-stress environment, using positive reinforcement and a gentle pace to help your dog feel safe. If needed, we can break the appointment into smaller steps or schedule extra time for dogs who need a little more reassurance. Our goal is to build trust and make grooming a positive, predictable experience over time.


We also work with senior dogs who may have mobility challenges or sensitivities. From adjusting table height to minimizing handling time, we accommodate your dog’s comfort while still delivering excellent grooming results..

Health Checks and Coat Insights

Grooming is one of the best times to notice early signs of health issues like skin irritation, lumps, ear infections, or dental problems. During every grooming appointment, we gently check your pet’s skin, ears, nails, and coat. If we notice anything concerning, we’ll let you know and may recommend a follow-up with your veterinarian.

Regular grooming can help prevent:

  • Skin infections and matting
  • Excess shedding and undercoat buildup
  • Overgrown nails that cause joint stress or altered walking
  • Ear issues caused by trapped moisture or debris


Keeping your pet clean and well-groomed is one of the easiest ways to support their long-term health.

Grooming for All Breeds and All Styles

We welcome dogs of all coat types and sizes, including:

  • Poodles, doodles, and other curly-coated breeds
  • Double-coated dogs like golden retrievers and huskies
  • Drop-coated breeds such as shih tzus and yorkies
  • Short-haired dogs who still need routine care and cleanup


Our groomers also specialize in custom styles. Whether you're preparing for a photo shoot, a holiday event, or just want your dog to stand out with a creative look, we’ll help design a style that fits.


If you have specific instructions or inspiration photos, feel free to bring them in. We love collaborating with pet owners to create a look that matches both your vision and your dog’s personality.

How Often Should Pets Be Groomed?

Grooming frequency depends on your dog’s breed, coat, and lifestyle. As a general rule:

  • Long-haired and curly-coated breeds benefit from grooming every 4 to 6 weeks
  • Double-coated dogs may need grooming every 6 to 8 weeks, especially during shedding seasons
  • Short-haired dogs may only need full grooming a few times per year, with nail trims or baths in between

Our team will gladly help you set up a maintenance schedule that keeps your dog clean, mat-free, and comfortable year-round.
