Specializing in
Nervous & Anxious Dogs
Everything your dog needs
to look and feel their best
From a quick nail trim to a full spa day, every service is delivered with patience, kindness, and professional expertise.
Full-Service Dog Grooming
A complete groom including bath, blow-dry, brush-out, haircut, nail trim, ear cleaning, and a finishing spray. Your dog leaves looking and feeling amazing.
Bath & Brush
A thorough bath with premium shampoo, gentle blow-dry, and full brushing to remove loose fur and tangles. Perfect for maintenance between full grooms.
Breed-Specific Haircuts
Every breed has its own style. We follow breed standards or your personal preferences to create the perfect look for your dog's coat type and lifestyle.
Nail Trimming
Gentle, careful nail trims that keep your dog's paws healthy and comfortable. We take our time to avoid the quick and make it a stress-free experience.
Ear Cleaning
Thorough yet gentle ear cleaning to prevent infections and remove buildup. We check for any signs of irritation and treat every ear with care.
Coat Maintenance
De-shedding treatments, detangling, and conditioning to keep your dog's coat healthy, shiny, and manageable between full grooming sessions.
Puppy Grooming
A gentle introduction to grooming for your puppy. We create positive first experiences so grooming becomes something they look forward to, not fear.
Senior Dog Grooming
Extra-patience grooming for older dogs with special comfort needs. We accommodate arthritis, limited mobility, and anxiety with compassionate, unrushed care.
Seasonal Grooming
Season-specific care including summer trims to keep your dog cool, winter coat conditioning, and spring de-shedding to manage seasonal coat changes.

What our clients say
“They were wonderful! Our dog is anxious and hasn't been to the groomer for a while, so I know she wasn't an easy client. But they worked with her and completed all of our requests and she looks great! She was ready to go home, but I could tell she really liked the staff and wasn't scared of them afterwards. I would recommend LCS to anyone in the Iowa City area!”
— Alena D
“My fur baby Piper has been going to L.C.S. Grooming for 7 yrs and I am extremely happy with the care and service I receive. I have had more than one groomer and each time I have someone new they are extremely thoughtful in making sure my wishes are met on how I like the cut to be carried out. They all love the dogs and it shows. Piper loves going there and I am very happy and satisfied with their services.”
— Karole R
“I took my granddog to the new LCS grooming salon in Mechanicsville today. Cassie did an excellent job with Riggs (9 year old golden/lab mix). He was long overdue for a grooming with knots and lots of shedding. She was very accommodating, getting me in last minute and trimming him just as I asked. He looks great and feels great! Thanks again, Cassie!”
— Patti D
“Olivia is amazing! Our dogs always look so good after their appointments, and you can truly tell she takes her time and cares about each dog she works with. We have two reactive dogs, and she handles them with so much patience and kindness, which means everything to us. We never have to worry about how they're being treated when we aren't there. We're so glad we found Olivia!”
— Issi W

“All the groomers who have groomed my dog Piper have done exactly what I've asked for and are pleasant and friendly. You can tell they love dogs.”
— Arole R
“Erika at L.C.S is very kind and made me feel welcomed. I brought my almost 2 year old husky, Haku, in for a groom. The wild temperature fluctuations has his coat shedding like crazy. Haku is an all white husky, but he was really white when he came out from the back after his session! Wow! He looks great!”
— Jason
“Very pleased with LCS Grooming. Friendly and caring service. Great personality which is conducive to keeping dogs happy and calm. Wonderful trim for our puppy, and the atmosphere improved our little guy's confidence and socializing skills with people and dogs.”
— Greg J
“Great experience. My 10 year old rescue was very comfortable there. I love that they do not crate or kennel your dog. Very professional. We won't go anywhere else now!”
— Tammy M
“Cassie is the only one who can handle Ziggy! I love her!!”
— Astrid van B
“I have taken both my dogs and their puppies to Cassie and her crew. My dogs not only look beautiful but love these girls! They are trustworthy, loving and treat dogs the way I want my babies treated. They made my 7 puppies so shiny and clean... I would definitely recommend them and choose them. They are not just there for a job they love the dogs.”

Do you groom nervous or anxious dogs?
Absolutely — that's one of our specialties. We take extra time with nervous dogs, moving at their pace and using calm, reassuring techniques. Many dogs who were once fearful at the groomer now come in relaxed and happy.
