Professional Dog Grooming Services in McHenry, Crystal Lake, and Surrounding Communities

They deserve gentle care, individual attention, and a grooming experience designed around their comfort.

At Dunkin Dogs Pet Grooming Salon, we provide professional dog grooming services for families in McHenry, Crystal Lake, and surrounding communities. From breed-specific cuts and puppy grooming to baths, nail trimming, and specialty coat treatments, every service is tailored to your dog’s unique needs.

Our experienced grooming team creates a safe, welcoming environment where pets are treated like family. We use premium grooming products, take the time to understand your pet’s coat and temperament, and focus on making every visit as stress-free as possible.

We never cage-dry. Most pets are free to walk around and socialize throughout the shop. For dogs that prefer their own space or do not interact well with others, we provide spacious play pen areas where they can relax comfortably while waiting for their grooming appointment.

Whether your dog needs routine maintenance or a complete makeover, Dunkin Dogs is committed to helping your pet look great, feel healthy, and enjoy their time at the salon.

Yucca Leave-In Conditioner

All grooms receive a free application of this terrific product. It helps to blow out excess hair, conditions and soothes the skin, and leaves the coat smoother and softer when dried.

Medicated Shampoo Bath

For the relief of itching, hot spots, and skin-related disorders we use a Mojave Yucca Shampoo. It’s a good source of natural steroidal saponins which cause the body to create its own safe, natural steroids. Combined with yucca’s anti-bacterial and anti fungal properties, this is an excellent safe shampoo for addressing many skin related issues as well as an excellent general purpose shampoo.

De-Shedding Bath

We use the best product on the market. You will notice the difference immediately. Your dog’s fur will be noticeably softer, with a healthier appearance. Our process does not damage the skin, unlike some you may have encountered.

Flea Bath

A flea bath is designed to help eliminate fleas and flea dirt while soothing your dog’s skin and coat. At Dunkin Dogs Pet Grooming Salon, we use gentle, high-quality flea treatment products that effectively cleanse the coat and help relieve the itching and irritation often caused by flea infestations.

Nail Trim/Nail Grind

We suggest doing this between grooms to keep your pet’s nails short. Long nails can cause problems with your pet’s gait and become painful when they walk on the nails instead of their pads.
$20 a trim, which includes Nail Grind
$17.00 on Tuesdays

Teeth Cleaning

We offer PlaqClnz, an innovative dental care treatment designed to help remove existing plaque and reduce future plaque buildup on your dog’s teeth. This easy and effective treatment can help improve your pet’s oral health, leaving their teeth cleaner and their breath fresher. Many of our customers are amazed by the visible results.

Puppy Spa Day

It is important to introduce your puppy to grooming at an early age. We pamper our puppy guests from start to finish, and slowly introduce them to the world of grooming. We suggest you bring them in for their first visit at around 12 weeks to get them acquainted with the shop, groomer, and the process as a whole.

Facials and Spa Pedi's

Pick from any of our three facials. For an additional $10 you can choose either our warm Blueberry & Vanilla, Rainforest, or our soothing Plum. These foaming facials cleanse, remove dirt around the mouth and eyes, and gently soothes the skin . It leaves a nice clean scent and a softer, smoother, brighter coat. You can also try our Warm Vanilla and Oatmeal Paw Pedi’s to soothe your pets cracked and dry feet.

Self Wash

$25 a dog – We supply the towels, ear cleaner, shampoo and dryer.
By appointment only.

Fab Lab Friday!

$5 off all de-shed bath, brush, and nails.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We brought our skittish pup in for a groom, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience!  Lori took her time and was incredibly patient and understanding. By the end, our pup trusted her, which says a lot.  Her haircut looks fantastic and was exactly what we hoped for. The team at check-in was also wonderful — friendly, professional, and made the whole process easy.  Even with multiple dogs there, the environment felt calm and well-managed, which really helped put both our pup and us at ease. Highly recommend and looking forward to bringing our pup back for future appointments!  Pricing was also on point!
