Our dog grooming services are beneficial for appearance, as well as overall health.
While your dog probably won’t come up to you and ask for a spa day, that doesn’t mean they don’t enjoy the results of professional dog grooming. Whether your dog is the type to get excited about a grooming visit or needs some convincing, we do our best to make the experience positive for every pup. And each dog will leave feeling better after a nice bath, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and anal expression. It is also nice for your dog to come to see us at Plaza Veterinary Hospital when they don’t need a medical or preventative care visit as this can help them feel less apprehensive on other visits. Being able to have one place to go in the Burlington, North Carolina area for both veterinary care and dog grooming can be a real plus!
We offer dog grooming for all sizes of dogs, provided they are up to date on their vaccines for the safety of the other pets and our staff members. Our groomers always treat your pet with kindness and provide a calm environment so your pet enjoys their dog grooming experience. You can have peace of mind that when you pick up your pampered pet, they are beautiful and happy.
Dog grooming is more than just a way to have a clean pet. It is also beneficial for your dog’s overall health when you include nail trimming, ear cleaning, and anal expression. These services serve as preventative care, saving you money and your dog from the discomfort of a medical procedure or infection.
We make sure that both you and your dog will love our dog grooming service. Call today to schedule an appointment or get answers to any questions you may have.
The staff is always super friendly and willing to help.

Dog Grooming FAQs for Our Paws-itively Awesome Patients
All dogs can benefit from regular grooming. While some breeds need more assistance with their grooming than others, there is no denying that having a professional take care of the bathing, trimming and other parts of grooming in a calming and enjoyable fashion can be a wonderful break for you and your pet. Here at Plaza Veterinary Hospital, we want to help you and your pet enjoy the dog grooming process and answer some of our most frequently asked questions (FAQs) here.
What occurs during the dog grooming process?
During the dog grooming process, we take care of bathing, brushing, nail trimming, anal expression, ear cleaning and hair trimming.
How long does a dog grooming appointment take?
The time depends on how much is needed for your pet. If your pet hasn’t been groomed or has lots of hair that needs trimming, it might take a little longer. We might also schedule extra time if your pet has some anxiety.
My dog is nervous about the grooming process- can you help?
Yes! Our staff is used to working with animals at all sorts of comfort levels. We understand how to help dogs feel calm in our presence during the grooming process and will work with them to help them see we are there to help.
Does my dog need to submit vaccine records?
Yes. For the safety of our staff and the other animals that are being groomed, we will require up-to-date vaccination records for your pet before we can schedule your dog grooming.
If you would like your pet to come home clean, trimmed and looking spiffy, we can help with our dog grooming services. For more information, please contact us today!
At Plaza Veterinary Hospital, we offer dog grooming for patients from Burlington, Graham, Mebane, Glen Raven, Elon, and Haw River, North Carolina.

Absolutely love this vet. We live over an hour away and make the drive here because they’re so great. They always take care of our dogs and cats.Today our cat was mouth breathing which could be very bad and we were panicked. We called around to two vets close to us and were turned away by both. Plaza was kind enough to squeeze us in and get him checked out. It was nothing too serious but I’m so appreciative of them.My mother also takes her many dogs here and shares my views.

Absolutely amazing. My dog needed emergency surgery and every other vet wouldn’t see us for less than $130 and they did the surgery and everything included for around $1000/$1,500 and the diagnosis fee was put towards the bill. Anywhere else would’ve charged $3,000-$6000. 10/10 recommend. They are the nicest people, the best prices and you can tell it’s not just a job to them! Highly recommended!!

I took my 11 year old furbaby Ozzie Irwin there last week for the first time! He’s having issues with his eyes! The staff at the front desk were kind, courteous and professional! The veterinarian, Dr. Jordan, was kind and efficient! She told me what to do, she gave me all the medications Ozzie needed to get better and she was informative and caring! The Vet Assistants were also kind, professional and courteous! Thank you Plaza Veterinarian Hospital!

I can’t say they did everything they were supposed to( have to assume they did) but the one thing that I could clearly see, was how good of a job they did, trimming my dog’s nails. I had been to pet smart ( may be pet supermarket) anyway, I could never tell her nails were trimmed, so I quit taking her altogether. They kept telling me, you should bring her more, then eventually her nails will be better. Idk what kind of a fool I looked like, but from where I come from, when you do a terrible job, I don’t want to get more of a terrible job, that can get costly. Anyway, I am impressed how good her nails look, she will be a much happier dog.

I was on my way home from Virginia to North Carolina and had an emergency with my dog...I ran in here hysterical and crying...the man behind the desk...I wish I remembered his name...because he was amazing...just immediately jumped up and ran to my car for my dog. Took her inside and started working on her. The Veterinarian was amazing too. Very calm, overly helpful and patient with me. If I lived closer...this would be my vet of choice! Thank you all so very much!!!

We started taking our pets to Plaza after moving to the area two years ago and have always experienced compassionate care. The vet techs are helpful and kind. Both vets we have seen have gone above and beyond to explain care options for our animals. The admin staff have been very patient when helping to coordinate multiple prescriptions for our elderly pup.

This place is nothing short of amazingggg!! I just got my puppy not long ago and I was freaking out about something I thought was a big deal (was but was normal) and I called them they helped me get in and out as quick as possible. Going back in a couple weeks for her second shot and I would recommend this place to anyone. They are extremely nice and will take great care of your babies . I promise you won’t regret going here ! 💕

After my vet closed down last year I had to search out a vet that offered grooming services for cats. I called around and spoke to the people at Plaza Veterinary Hospital about bringing my long haired cat in for a grooming appointment. They were very accommodating and friendly. I made the appointment and took my cat in. They were finished and called me to pick her up in just a couple of hours unlike previous groomers who kept her there until 4 before I could pick her up. She came back to me in good spirits and looking beautiful.The price of the service was very reasonable and the drop off and pickup went smoothly.From here on out this will be the vet I take all my animals to.

I brought my 10 week old puppy to Plaza and they took him right in, it was an emergency due to a vaccine reaction. Our regular vet had closed and I was panicking. The staff there was phenomenal. Dr. Basher was so patient and very caring explaining everything after the visit!! I would recommend Plaza 110%!!!

I love Plaza Veterinary Hospital! Both doctors are highly knowledgeable, skilled, and costantly learning new techniques, yet they are also very compassionate, understanding and real. Dr Wicker performed a dental procedure with extractions on my dog and did a beautiful job . The bill was so reasonable and communication is very open. My dog is not easy to deal with, he was a rescue and very needy, scared, and snappy. They love him anyway!

We just had our puppy who is a Coton de Tulear groomed with Melissa and could not be happier with the haircut she gave him. I had been concerned because not a lot of groomers are familiar with Cotons but she did an outstanding job and will definitely recommend her to anyone that wants a good groomer. Thanks again Melissa so happy.

Recently(yesterday) we had to make one of the hardest decisions a pet owner has to make by putting our precious Lucy down. She was a 12 y/o Maltese full of joy and so so much love. She became sick 6 weeks ago with an unconfirmed diagnosis. We tried many rounds of antibiotics and steroids to no avail 😢 Dr Thomas and her exceptional staff were so incredible during this difficult time. My Lucy was not afraid to go to this office ever. If I could rate this vet higher than a 5, I would. What they did for us and our precious girl is priceless. We will never forget the compassion you showed us❤️

I have three pets and feared I could not financially care for them all. My previous vet in town was very expensive, and the care was inferior compared to Plaza Veterinary. For example, one of my cats is difficult to work with and my previous vet sometimes was unable to examine her. At Plaza Veterinary this was not an issue. The vets and vet techs also answered in depth all my questions about dental procedures, and my cat breezed through extractions. I thank my lucky starts I changed vets. I could not be more pleased!

My seven pack is new to Plaza Vet Hospital, and so far I have felt very welcomed, and have been very pleased with the attention, friendliness, professionalism, with every visit. I feel everyone listens to my concerns, answers every question, and even my most fearful girl seemed to actually enjoy being there!! They even helped me with one of my feral cats, who had major skin issues, and loss of hair. Dr. Thomas treated him for flea bite allergies, and completely cured him!! I am very pleased, and highly recommend them.
