Your Dog Grooming Guide: Local Spots We Love Near Lake County, IL
At Paige’s In-Home Pet Care, we know that keeping pups clean, comfortable, and well-groomed is about more than good looks, it’s essential for their health and happiness. Regular grooming helps prevent mats, reduces shedding, supports healthy skin, and keeps pets feeling their best between our visits.
Whether your dog needs a simple bath and brush or the full spa treatment, here are some wonderful local grooming businesses we’re proud to highlight across Lake County.
Why Grooming Matters
Healthy skin & coat: Regular brushing distributes natural oils and prevents tangles.
Comfort & hygiene: Clean paws, trimmed nails, and tidy fur help dogs move comfortably.
Early detection: Groomers often notice lumps, bumps, or skin issues early.
Less shedding: Grooming keeps heavy shedders more comfortable and your home cleaner.
Pairing at-home maintenance with a trusted professional groomer is the best combo for year-round comfort.
