Grooming House

From Hair Salon to Pup Salon – A Local Favorite for Dog Grooming in Upper Arlington

Tucked just one street over from our Upper Arlington daycare and boarding facility, the Puptown Lounge Grooming House is where pups come to get pampered! Originally, we offered grooming inside our UA location, but as our pack grew, so did our need for space. In 2019, we found the perfect solution just down the alley—a former human hair salon at 2919 Clifton Road, right next to a child daycare center. We moved in, transformed the space, and haven’t looked back since!

The first floor—once bustling with hair dryers and salon chairs—is now home to our grooming tables and cozy crates. Our bathing area lives downstairs in what used to be a basement apartment, giving our grooming team ample space to work their magic.

This building has a fun and sentimental history, too! Before we took over, the upstairs apartment was home to our former team member and Pet First Aid + CPR instructor, Shamus, and his pup Blue. And our very own AGM Kim used to get her hair cut here as a kid—full circle, right?

Services Available

  • Breed-Specific Cuts

    Our groomers are experienced in providing American Kennel Club (AKC) breed-standard haircuts, ensuring your pup looks polished and true to their breed’s traditional appearance.

    Whether it’s the iconic poodle pom-poms, a schnauzer skirt, or a perfectly sculpted golden retriever feathering, we know the grooming guidelines that keep show-quality standards in mind—while still allowing for custom modifications to suit your dog’s lifestyle and comfort.

    Perfect for breeds like Poodles, Schnauzers, Bichons, Cocker Spaniels, and more.

  • Deshedding

    Tired of finding fur everywhere?

    Our professional deshedding service helps reduce excessive shedding and keeps your pup’s coat healthy and manageable. Using specialized brushes and tools, we remove the loose undercoat that causes shedding, followed by a deshedding shampoo and conditioner designed to strengthen the coat and reduce hair fallout.

    Recommended for double-coated breeds like Huskies, Labs, German Shepherds, and Golden Retrievers.

  • Luxurious Spa Baths

    Our Luxury Spa Bath is more than just a rinse—it’s a full-body refresh for your pup! This deluxe dog bath includes a degreaser, a premium shampoo and hydration conditioner tailored to your dog’s coat type, a gentle blow-dry, thorough brushing, nail trim, ear cleaning, and a finishing spritz. Pups leave clean, soft, and feeling fabulous.

    Great for short haired dogs, after a muddy adventure, or just when they need a little extra TLC.

  • Walk In Nail Trims

    We offer walk-in nail trimming and filing for dogs of all sizes—no appointment necessary! Regular nail care is essential for your pup’s comfort and joint health. Our professional groomers carefully trim your dog’s nails and, upon request, use a Dremel tool for smooth, rounded edges that help prevent scratching and splitting at an additional cost.

    Quick, stress-free, and walk-in friendly—perfect for busy pet parents!

  • De-Skunking Treament

    Got skunked? Don’t worry—we’ve got your back (and your nose).

    Our professional de-skunking treatment neutralizes odors instead of masking them, using specially formulated shampoo and cleansing solutions that are safe for your dog’s skin and coat. This service is designed to help eliminate skunk spray odor quickly and effectively, restoring your pup’s fresh scent. You may need to make a second appointment for worst cases. We will always try are best to get as much of the scent out as possible.

    Fast-acting and effective—because no one wants to live with that smell!

  • Semi Permanent Hair Dye

    Ready to add a pop of personality?

    Our OPAWZ pet-safe semi-permanent dog hair dye is a fun and creative way to give your pup a temporary, vibrant new look. Whether it’s a colorful tail, a splash of seasonal spirit, or a full makeover, we use only non-toxic, cruelty-free, dog-safe dye designed specifically for pets.

    Popular for holidays, special events, or just because! Safe for most coat types ask your groomer for more information.
