Your pet’s home away from home

A calm, spa-like grooming salon for dogs and cats on South Main Street. Every pet is monitored on the FAS scale — fear, anxiety, and stress — so grooming stays gentle from the first bath to the final brush.

Cat Grooming

Cats aren’t small dogs, and we don’t groom them like they are. Our feline specialist works at your cat’s pace, in a calm setting, with handling designed for feline comfort.

  • Dedicated feline specialist
  • Baths, cuts & coat care for cats
  • Low-stress, cat-paced handling

We don’t book cats online. Cats are scheduled by phone or text, at a calm time picked for them — quiet enough that cats stay relaxed and the dogs stay easy.

First Grooms & Nervous Pets

A first haircut sets the tone for a lifetime of them. We take first-timers, puppies, seniors, and anxious pets slowly — watching their FAS level and letting them settle in rather than rushing the table.

  • Unhurried first appointments
  • Extra patience for anxious pets
  • Big, strong dogs welcome

A note on pricing: grooming prices depend on your pet’s size, coat, and the work involved, so we don’t post one-size-fits-all rates. Text us a photo of your pet or call (405) 516-7517 and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

The Dapper Difference

What sets us apart

Plenty of salons can make a pet look good. We’re just as interested in how they feel while it happens.

01

Stress-Free, On Purpose

Our groomers use the FAS scale — fear, anxiety, and stress — to read every pet on the table and adjust in real time. If a pet needs a break, they get one. Calm pets get better grooms, and they remember the experience kindly.

02

A Real Feline Specialist

Most salons tolerate cats. Ours has a pet stylist who specializes in them — their handling, their coats, and their very firm opinions about bath time.

03

Every Size, Every Temperament

Mini poodles to a 100-pound Great Pyrenees mix, first haircuts to old hands — gentle, unhurried handling scales to the pet in front of us.

04

Main Street, Locally Owned

We’re your neighbors on South Main Street, building regulars one fancy dog at a time. When you book with us, you know exactly whose hands your pet is in.

Meet the Groomers

Hi, I’m Ven.

I’m a pet stylist here at The Dapper Doxie — and the salon’s feline specialist, which means the cats of Stillwater are my particular joy. Dogs of every size too: I’ve groomed everything from mini poodles to a 100-pound Great Pyrenees mix who now comes in like she owns the place.

My whole approach is simple: watch the pet in front of me. I work with the FAS scale — fear, anxiety, and stress — so if your pet needs a slower pace, a break, or a quieter corner, that’s what they get. A groom they feel good about is a groom they’ll feel good about next time, too.

When a client tells me their dog pulled toward our door on the second visit, that’s the review I’m proudest of. The shiny coat is just the bonus.

Reviews

Word travels fast on Main Street

5.0 ★★★★★
Five-star reviews from real clients — pulled word for word from Google & Facebook, plus a testimonial from one very happy regular.
“We took Doug to the Dapper Doxie on their grand opening day and Ven did an AMAZING job! Doug will for sure be a regular! I’d say he’s feeling very fancy.”
Cari FischerGoogle Review
“Ven treats Maisey like she’s her own. Maisey’s not a nervous dog by nature, but she’s particular about people — and she took to Ven right away. She comes home calm, happy, and looking like she knows it. That’s not just grooming, that’s somebody who genuinely cares about the dog in front of them. I wouldn’t trust Maisey with anyone else.”
Adam A.Maisey’s Dad
“A great bath and grooming experience for my two mini poodles! We appreciate their skill and genuine care for our fur babies!”

“Dapper Doxie did an amazing job. It was our Aussie’s first time getting a haircut and it was a great experience. Our boys look so good.”

When’s the next groom due?

Coats don’t keep calendars, but they do keep schedules. Tell us about your pet and we’ll work out when their next appointment should land — then book it in one tap.

Rules of thumb groomers actually use — curly and doodle coats mat fast, so they run on the shortest cycle. Your pet’s coat and lifestyle win any argument with this calculator.

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly

The things folks ask us most. Anything else — text us, we’re friendly.

Full grooms (bath, haircut, and blow-dry), bath & blow-dry appointments between cuts, and dedicated cat grooming — for dogs and cats of every size. See our services for the details.

Three easy ways: book online anytime, text us at (405) 516-7517, or call the same number. We groom by appointment so no pet waits in a rush.

Really. Our stylist Ven is a dedicated feline specialist, so cats get grooming designed for them — their handling, their pace, their coats — not a dog groom with smaller scissors.

Yes — that’s our specialty. We monitor every pet on the FAS scale (fear, anxiety, stress) and adjust as we go, and our regulars include a 100-pound Great Pyrenees mix. Big and anxious is a combination we know well.

Our groomers use the FAS scale to monitor stress levels during grooming, in a salon designed to feel calm and spa-like. Unhurried appointments, gentle handling, and breaks when a pet asks for one.

A short walk beforehand helps them arrive relaxed and ready. You’re welcome to send along a favorite toy or small blanket so the table smells a little like home.

Sometimes an owner nearby helps, and sometimes it winds a pet up — it depends on the pet. Talk to us when you book and we’ll find the setup that keeps your pet calmest.

It depends on size, coat, and condition, so we quote per pet rather than posting a chart that’s wrong for half our clients. Text us a photo of your pet and we’ll give you a straight price before you book.

We groom by appointment so every pet gets an unhurried table — but same-day spots do open up. Text us and ask; if there’s a gap in the day, it’s yours.
