As dogs get older, grooming needs change. Skin can become more sensitive, joints may be stiff, standing can be tiring, and stress can build faster. Our senior dog grooming is designed to keep your dog clean and comfortable while treating their body and boundaries with extra care.

At Rebel Tails, we focus on a calm environment and a gentle pace—no cages, no rushing, and no rough handling. We start with a quick comfort check, then customize the groom based on mobility, coat condition, and your dog’s tolerance that day. Whether your senior needs a simple bath and tidy-up or a full groom, we prioritize safety, support, and a low-stress experience.

Services may include bath + conditioning, controlled drying, brush-out, sanitary tidy, light trimming, paw + pad tidy, nail trim, and ear care (as tolerated).

Senior dogs do best with grooming that’s flexible. We take breaks when needed, adjust positioning to reduce strain, and choose practical, comfortable styles that are easy to maintain between visits. If your dog has tangles or matting, we use the most humane approach—never forcing painful brushing just to save length.

We also pay close attention to the details that help older dogs feel better day-to-day: keeping nails at a safe length for stable walking, maintaining clean hygiene areas, and supporting coat and skin health. Before you leave, we can share an easy maintenance plan (brushing priorities and visit timing) so your senior stays comfortable, fresh, and cared for year-round.
