What Are the Best Dog Groomers in the Lehigh Valley?
Dog groomers Lehigh Valley: A local search for grooming salons and doggie day cares across Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, and Nazareth — the businesses that handle baths, cuts, nail trims, and day boarding for local dogs.
Our directory tracks eight pet grooming businesses, and the category holds up well under scrutiny: every one sits at 4.8 stars or better in our directory data, and three hit a perfect 5.0. Two of the eight are actually the same business at different addresses — Leader of the Pack Canine Institute runs locations in both Allentown and Easton — which is useful to know if one location's schedule doesn't fit yours. The category also covers a bit more ground than grooming alone: Puppy Palace and Velvet Tails are categorized here as day care and general pet care rather than strictly grooming, and EarthWise Pet Easton is a pet store that also offers delivery, so check what each business actually does before you book.
Local rule of thumb: Early drop-off matters more than most people plan for. Three of the eight groomers here open by 6:45am, built for owners dropping a dog off before work — but the other five don't open until 8am or later, so check the specific hours before you build your morning around it.
Which Groomer Is Open Every Day of the Week?
Velvet Tails Luxury Pet Services on E Belvidere Street in Nazareth is the only groomer in our rankings open all seven days, and the hours don't even shift on weekends — 9am to 6pm, Monday through Sunday, the same window every day. It holds a 4.9 rating across 62 reviews in our directory data. If your schedule is unpredictable and you need a groomer that doesn't care what day it is, this is the one option that fits every day equally.
Where Should You Go in Easton?
Easton has four groomers in our rankings, the deepest concentration in the Valley. Leader of the Pack Canine Institute II on Braden Boulevard holds a perfect 5.0 across 166 reviews, opens at 6:30am on weekdays, and is the only groomer in our rankings with full wheelchair accessibility — entrance, parking, restroom, and seating all confirmed in Google's verified data. EarthWise Pet Easton on Freemansburg Avenue matches that 5.0 rating across 329 reviews and is the only groomer here that lists delivery as a service.
Harry's Pawds Grooming Services also holds a perfect 5.0, across a smaller 84 reviews, though it closes Mondays and runs a short Sunday window from 8:30am to 2pm. Petline Grooming on Tatamy Road rounds out the city at 4.9 stars across 97 reviews, open Monday through Saturday and closed Sunday — the only Easton groomer that skips the weekend entirely on one side.
What About Allentown?
Leader of the Pack Canine Institute on Farm Bureau Road is the most-reviewed groomer we track anywhere in the Valley — a 4.9 across 534 reviews, well ahead of the 329 held by the next-closest groomer. It shares its brand and its 6:30am-to-7pm weekday hours with the Easton location, plus 8am-to-6pm hours on both Saturday and Sunday.
Scenthound Allentown on Tilghman Street holds a 4.8 across 221 reviews, the only rating below 4.9 in our rankings, though it's still a strong score. It closes Mondays but opens 9am to 6pm Tuesday through Saturday and 9am to 4pm on Sunday — solid weekend coverage to offset the Monday closure.
What About Bethlehem and Nazareth?
Puppy Palace Doggie Day Care on 14th Avenue is Bethlehem's only entry in our rankings, and it runs the earliest hours of any groomer here — 6:45am to 7pm, Monday through Friday. The tradeoff is the weekend: Puppy Palace is the only groomer in our rankings closed both Saturday and Sunday, so it's built for a weekday drop-off-and-pickup routine rather than weekend grooming trips. It holds a 4.9 rating across 118 reviews in our directory data.
Nazareth's Velvet Tails Luxury Pet Services, covered above for its seven-day schedule, is the only groomer we track in that town — but it's also the most flexible business in this entire category by day-of-week availability. Between them, Bethlehem and Nazareth account for two of our eight picks, the smallest share of any city pairing in this guide, so anyone outside Easton or Allentown has fewer options but two genuinely strong ones.
Which Groomers Skip Mondays or Weekends?
Two of the eight groomers in our rankings — Scenthound Allentown and Harry's Pawds Grooming Services — close on Mondays but make up for it with real weekend hours. One, Puppy Palace Doggie Day Care, closes both Saturday and Sunday but opens earliest on weekdays. Petline Grooming closes Sundays only. The remaining four — both Leader of the Pack locations, EarthWise Pet Easton, and Velvet Tails — report no closed day at all across the week, though EarthWise trims its Sunday hours to a shorter 10am-to-4pm window.
What Should You Know Before Booking?
- Match the hours to your routine, not just the rating: Every groomer here scores 4.8 or better, so the real differentiator is whether the schedule fits your week — early drop-off, weekend access, or a specific day off.
- Delivery is rare in this category: Only EarthWise Pet Easton lists delivery as a confirmed service in Google's data, useful if you're ordering food or supplies alongside a grooming visit.
- Accessibility varies by location: Leader of the Pack Canine Institute II in Easton is the only groomer here with full wheelchair accessibility confirmed — entrance, parking, restroom, and seating. Several other listings simply don't report this data, which isn't the same as not having it.
- Two locations, one brand: If Leader of the Pack's Allentown location doesn't have an opening, the Easton location runs the identical schedule and an even higher rating.
- Free parking isn't universal: Three of the eight groomers in our rankings — Leader of the Pack Canine Institute II, Harry's Pawds Grooming Services, and Petline Grooming, all in Easton — report a free parking lot in verified Google data. EarthWise Pet Easton lists paid lot parking only, and several listings don't report parking data at all.
Bottom Line: Eight Groomers, Nothing Below 4.8
The best dog groomers in the Lehigh Valley reward matching the schedule to your life rather than chasing the top score, since the ratings are bunched tightly at the top — every business here sits between 4.8 and 5.0, a narrower spread than most categories on this site. Start with Leader of the Pack Canine Institute II or EarthWise Pet Easton for a perfect rating with real review depth, Velvet Tails Luxury Pet Services when you need a groomer open every day without exception, and Leader of the Pack Canine Institute in Allentown if review depth matters most to you. Check the specific hours before you book — this is a category where the calendar varies more than the quality does.
