Why Professional Grooming Is More Than “Just a Bath”


If you live in Goldsby, Washington, or Norman, OK, you know our Oklahoma weather can create plenty of grooming challenges — shedding seasons, mud, stickers, dust, allergies, and thick coats that require regular maintenance.


That’s why professional grooming isn’t just cosmetic. It plays a crucial role in your dog’s overall health, comfort, and well-being.


Here’s why families across our local communities rely on professional grooming instead of DIY at-home grooming.



1. Coat & Skin Health


Regular professional grooming helps prevent:


  • Matting (which can lead to pain and skin infections)

  • Excess shedding

  • Hot spots

  • Dirt buildup and odor

  • Dry, irritated skin


Our groomers use coat-specific shampoos, conditioners, and tools to keep your dog’s skin healthy and their coat looking its best.



2. Early Detection of Health Issues


Experienced groomers can spot concerns before they become serious, including:


  • Lumps or bumps

  • Ear infections

  • Fleas or ticks

  • Skin irritation

  • Toenail issues


Early detection during routine grooming can save you stress, time, and money at the vet.


3. Safe, Gentle Handling


At Backroads Boarding, grooming is done patiently and professionally, especially because:


  • Oklahoma breeds like doodles, heelers, labs, and shepherds often need detailed coat maintenance

  • Many dogs become anxious during baths or nail trims

  • Long-haired dogs need careful brushing to avoid discomfort


Our groomers — Shelby and Teanna — have agricultural and veterinary backgrounds, providing safe, gentle, and confident handling for pets of all temperaments.


4. Local, Convenient, Full-Service Grooming


We offer three grooming packages to meet the needs of families in Goldsby, Washington, and Norman:


  • Bath

  • Tidy Up

  • Full Groom


Plus specialty add-ons like de-shedding, nail trims, ear cleaning, hair dye, and matted shave-downs.


We even provide cat grooming, something most groomers in the Norman area do not offer.


5. A Clean, Calm Grooming Environment


Our grooming room was custom built inside our barndominium with:


  • Climate-controlled comfort

  • Sanitized surfaces

  • Professional bathing equipment

  • A layout designed for low stress

  • Quiet, peaceful handling


It’s ideal for nervous dogs, seniors, or pets who struggle in fast-paced grooming salons.
