40+ years of combined grooming experience. A love for every breed. And a name that makes you smile.
Who We Are
The Dirty Dog was born from a simple idea: every pet deserves grooming that's done right — with patience, skill, and a whole lot of love. Our team brings over 40 years of combined professional grooming experience to every appointment.
We've groomed thousands of dogs across every breed and coat type imaginable. From nervous puppies getting their first trim to senior dogs who need extra-gentle handling, we adjust our approach to match every pet's personality and needs.
Located on Lake Howell Road in Winter Park, we're proud to be the neighborhood grooming shop that families trust — the kind of place where your dog wags their tail when they walk through the door.
Book With Us TodayOur Philosophy
We believe grooming should be a positive experience for your pet — never rushed, never stressful, always done with care.
Our groomers have handled every breed, every coat type, and every temperament. With 40+ years combined, there's nothing we haven't seen or groomed beautifully.
We take the time to understand your pet's comfort level. Nervous dogs get extra patience. Senior dogs get extra care. Every pet is treated like family.
We don't do "one-size-fits-all" cuts. Our groomers know the correct trim for every breed — from Poodle continental clips to Schnauzer hand-stripping.
We use only high-quality, pet-safe grooming products. No harsh chemicals, no cutting corners. Your pet's skin and coat health is our priority.
Our shop is clean, organized, and well-maintained. We take hygiene as seriously as we take grooming — because your pet deserves a clean environment.
A great coat starts with great nutrition. We carry Orijen and Acana natural pet food and our staff can help you choose the right food for your pet.
More Than Grooming
We don't just make dogs look good on the outside — we help them feel good on the inside too. The Dirty Dog carries a carefully curated selection of natural, high-quality pet food brands.
Our favorites? Orijen and Acana — both known for biologically appropriate recipes made with fresh, regional ingredients. Better food means healthier skin, shinier coats, and happier pets.
Stop by anytime during business hours and our staff will help you find the perfect food for your pet's breed, age, and dietary needs. No pressure, just honest advice from people who love animals.
What Pet Parents Say
"I've been bringing my two Labs here for years and they always come out looking and smelling amazing. The groomers are so experienced — they handle my hyper pups like pros. Best grooming shop in Winter Park, hands down."
"My senior Yorkie is anxious at groomers but The Dirty Dog team is so patient and gentle with her. She actually falls asleep during her groom now. Plus I love picking up Orijen food while I'm there. One-stop shop!"
"They know exactly how to groom my Standard Poodle to breed standard. I've tried other groomers in the area and nobody comes close to The Dirty Dog. The name is funny but the grooming is dead serious — in the best way."
Bring your dirty dog in and let our experienced groomers work their magic. We can't wait to meet your pup.
