Grooming built for Aventura condo dogs
Aventura is a vertical city. Most of our clients live above the tenth floor in Williams Island, Porto Vita, Turnberry Isle, Hidden Bay or the Point — and a high-rise dog has grooming needs that a suburban dog simply does not.
Your dog rides an elevator several times a day, crosses a marble lobby, and passes neighbours and a doorman every single trip outside. Coat that sheds in the elevator, nails that click and scratch the lobby floor, or a lingering odour in a closed elevator car are the three complaints we hear most from residents — and all three are grooming problems, not behaviour problems.
What we adjust for high-rise living
- Nails trimmed shorter and ground smooth. Filed edges do not scratch polished lobby floors or snag in elevator door tracks.
- Deep de-shedding on the undercoat. We pull loose coat out in the salon so it does not end up on the elevator carpet.
- Long-lasting, low-key finishing spritz. Enough to keep a dog fresh in a closed apartment, never strong enough to bother a neighbour sharing the elevator.
- Sanitary and paw-pad trims every visit. Cleaner paws on the way back up from the pet relief area.
Aventura neighbourhoods we groom for every week
Williams Island
Mostly toy and small breeds. Maltese, Yorkies and Shih Tzus on a tight 4-week schedule to stay in full coat.
Turnberry & Porto Vita
Show-standard scissor work and Asian Fusion cuts for owners who want a precise, repeatable look every visit.
Hidden Bay & Bella Vista
Doodles and mid-size mixes. De-matting and coat management are the priority here.
Aventura Lakes & Estates
Single-family homes with yards — bigger dogs, more de-shedding, more full-body baths.
Because we are appointment-only, you are never sharing our attention with a walk-in queue. Book a slot, drop your dog, and we start immediately.
Every grooming service we offer Aventura dogs
One groomer handles your dog from start to finish, whichever of these you book. Everything below is available at our 18980 W Dixie Hwy salon, we are inside Aventura, 4 minutes from Aventura Mall.
Full Groom
Bath, blow-dry, breed-specific haircut, ear cleaning and a finishing spritz, plus a $20 nail trim and grind add-on. The cut is matched to your dog’s real coat type and condition rather than to a breed chart, so a flat-coated doodle and a curly one do not leave with the same trim.
Bath & Brush
Wash, full brush-out, blow-dry, ears and a sanitary trim, with no haircut, plus a $20 nail trim and grind add-on. A bath and brush is the right booking between full grooms, and the only one short-coated dogs that never need scissoring ever need.
Spa Treatments
Oatmeal for itchy skin, hypoallergenic baths for sensitive dogs, whitening for pale coats that have gone dull, and a full de-shedding treatment for double coats. All pet-safe and professional grade, added on top of a bath or a full groom.
Puppy First Groom
A gentler, shorter introduction for a puppy who has never been on a grooming table. The aim is a calm first visit, not a perfect haircut — that comes later, once your puppy has learned the table, the dryer and the clippers are nothing to worry about.
De-Shedding & De-Matting
Undercoat pulled out properly in the salon so it is not left on your floor and your clothes. Heavy matting takes longer and is always quoted before we start, never after.
Add-Ons
Teeth brushing and ear cleaning, paw balm, nail grinding for a smooth finish, and creative colour. Zoom Bath (+$20) and Zoom Groom (+$30) move your dog to the front of the day when you need the fastest possible turnaround.
Dog grooming by size in Aventura
Price and time are driven by size and coat condition, not by breed. Find your dog below — these are the 7 bands we quote from for every Aventura client.
Extra Small dogs — under 12 lb
Typical breeds: Yorkshire Terrier, Chihuahua, Maltese, Toy Poodle, Pomeranian.
Fine coat that mats fast behind the ears and under the harness. These dogs do best on a tight schedule — a short gap between grooms is far cheaper than a de-matting session.
Bath & dry from $55 · full groom from $80.
Small dogs — 12–25 lb
Typical breeds: Shih Tzu, Bichon Frisé, Miniature Poodle, Havanese, Lhasa Apso.
The classic scissor-work breeds. Face, feet and tail shape are what make the groom look right, so this is where breed-specific finishing matters most.
Bath & dry from $65 · full groom from $85.
Medium dogs — 25–50 lb
Typical breeds: Cocker Spaniel, Schnauzer, Border Collie, Cavalier, Springer.
Feathering on the legs and ears picks up sand and salt, which is why these dogs usually need a full bath rather than a tidy-up between grooms.
Bath & dry from $75 · full groom from $95.
Large dogs — 50–80 lb
Typical breeds: Goldendoodle, Labrador, Husky, Australian Shepherd, Standard Poodle.
Doodles and double coats. This is the size band where matting is most often hiding under the surface — the top looks fine and the layer against the skin is felted.
Bath & dry from $85 · full groom from $115.
Extra Large dogs — over 80 lb
Typical breeds: German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Bernese, Newfoundland.
Volume of coat is the whole job. A proper de-shed on a big double coat takes real time in the tub and under the dryer, which is what the price reflects.
Bath & dry from $95 · full groom from $125.
XXL dogs — giant breeds
Typical breeds: Great Dane, Saint Bernard, Leonberger.
A groom on a dog this size is a longer appointment on our table and in our tub, not just more shampoo — that is what the price reflects.
Full groom from $140 · bath-only quoted by phone or WhatsApp.
XXXL dogs — extra-giant breeds
Typical breeds: English Mastiff, Irish Wolfhound.
Our largest booking. Call or WhatsApp ahead so we can block enough time on the schedule for your dog specifically.
Full groom from $160 · bath-only quoted by phone or WhatsApp.
Not sure which band your dog falls into? Call (786) 661-0388 or send a photo on WhatsApp and we will quote you before you book.
