Why Black Dog Groomers Is Our Best Overall Pick

Black Dog Groomers is a one-groomer salon at 3023 Indianola Ave, so Ava handles every dog from bath to finish, and the shop asks owners to call to book. It is also the only salon here that posts a full price grid. A full groom runs $80 for dogs under 10 pounds up to $140 and more for dogs over 75, and a bath and tidy starts at $70. Every service includes teeth brushing, nail filing, ear cleaning and a full blow dry, and long coats or deshedding cost extra.

  • One-on-one calm handling for nervous dogs
  • Clintonville shop at 3023 Indianola Ave
  • Coat work that still looks like your dog

Know before you go

Black Dog Groomers is a one-groomer salon on Indianola Avenue where Ava works one dog at a time. Book a full groom, bath and tidy, or bath and brush; prices scale by size, with full grooms starting around $80 for the smallest dogs and climbing past $140 for large or heavy-coat work. It suits nervous first-timers and Clintonville neighbors who want a calm table instead of a busy kennel room.

Hours are by appointment only, so call or message Instagram before you assume same-week openings. Bring rabies proof to the first visit and skip this shop if your dog needs sedation.
