Local Dog Grooming in Pasadena
A neighborhood salon where your dog is groomed by one person start to finish, hand-dried, and ready at the time we promised.
Grooming For Every Kind Of Coat
Short coats, curly coats, double coats and first-timers. Every visit starts with a quick hands-on coat check at the counter.
Not sure which one your dog needs? Book a Full Groom and we'll tell you honestly if a Bath & Brush would do.
The Same Groomer, Visit After Visit
Dogs relax when the hands are familiar. So at Brindlewick your dog is booked with one groomer and stays with them, every visit, for as long as you keep coming. That groomer learns the cowlick, the ticklish feet, the ear length you like and the day your dog is having. We keep it a small salon on purpose: four grooming tables, one dog per groomer at a time, hand-drying only, and a text with a photo the moment your dog is finished.

What To Expect The First Time

Tell us about your dog
Send the form or call. Breed, size, last groom and anything that worries them — the dryer, feet, strangers.
A two-minute coat check
At drop-off your groomer runs their hands through the coat with you and agrees on the style and the price.
Groomed by one person
Bath, hand-dry, haircut and finishing, all by the same groomer, with breaks if your dog needs them.
A photo and a pickup text
We text the moment they're done, so your dog isn't waiting in a crate for the afternoon.
A Few Familiar Faces
Dogs we see every few weeks, and the grooms they come in for.
Just Need The Nails Done?
Walk in Tuesday to Saturday, 9am to 3pm — $15, about ten minutes, no appointment. Big dogs and wiggly dogs welcome.
What Our Neighbors Say
Our cockapoo has seen the same groomer for four years. She knows his cowlick, his tender back leg and exactly how short we like his ears.
I walked in with a Great Pyrenees on a Saturday for a nail trim and was back on the sidewalk in ten minutes. No appointment, no fuss.
They sent a photo when he was done and a text the week before his next groom. It is the only appointment in our house nobody forgets.
His coat was matted after a long summer. They called, showed me, and shaved him comfortable instead of pulling at it. He was happy, not sore.
The puppy intro was short and full of treats. At five months she now hops up on the table by herself, which I did not think was possible.
Prices are on the wall and on the website, and that is what I pay. When she needed extra time for a de-shed, they asked me first.
Four Things We Do On Every Groom
One groomer per dog
The person who bathes your dog is the person who cuts and finishes them.
A call before any shave
If matting means going short, we phone you first and explain why.
Breaks on request
Seniors and nervous dogs work in short sessions, at no extra charge.
Vaccines on file
Rabies, DHPP and Bordetella for adult dogs; puppies up to date on their age-appropriate shots.
Comfort Before Style
Brushing out mats that sit tight against the skin hurts, and we won't put your dog through it to save a haircut. If the coat is matted, we'll show you, call you, and clip it short and comfortable. Then we send you home with a slicker brush, a comb and a two-minute routine, so the next groom can be the style you actually wanted.
- ✓Photos before we shave anything
- ✓Brushing demo at pickup
- ✓Rebook in six weeks to stay ahead

My dog is nervous. Can you still groom them?
Yes. Tell us when you book — we'll schedule a quiet time, work in short sessions and stop if your dog has had enough.
Can I stay with my dog?
Most dogs settle faster without their person in view, so we ask you to drop off. We'll text a photo when they're done.
