Best dog groomers in Springfield, MO
Choosing a groomer shouldn’t take an afternoon of research. Here’s what actually matters when you’re comparing groomers in Springfield — and how to book with us in about two minutes.
What to look for in a Springfield dog groomer
Most “best groomer” lists are just directories. Here’s the honest checklist we’d give a friend — whether or not they end up booking with us:
- Clear, published pricing — you should know the starting price before you walk in, not after.
- Calm handling — ask how they work with nervous dogs, puppies, and seniors.
- Honest coat conversations — a good groomer tells you when a coat is matted and talks through options first.
- Easy booking — online scheduling means you can book at 11pm when you remember.
- Real reviews from local owners — not just a star rating, but what people actually say.
- A groomer who asks questions — about your dog’s routine, your lifestyle, and how you want them to look.

Why Dapper Doodle
What we do differently
Comfort first, always
We work at your dog’s pace, take breaks when they need them, and never rush a groom to hit a number.
Doodles are our specialty
Curly and fleece coats need a different approach. We know how to keep a doodle coat healthy instead of just shaving it down.
Straightforward pricing
Starting prices are published on every service page. If your dog’s coat needs extra work, we tell you before we start — not after.
Book in two minutes
Pick your service, pick a time, done. No phone tag, no waiting for someone to call you back.
Our Services
Pick the service that fits
Not sure which one you need? Start with a full groom if your dog needs a haircut, a trim if they just need tidying, or a bath if the coat is fine but the dog is not.

We followed our amazing groomer Brandon to Dapper Doodle and couldn’t be more pleased! Convenient, clean, great service and easy to book. Please reach out to them for all of your dog grooming needs. They are fantastic!

She did a great job on our disabled Border Collie, Skye. Her back legs don't work anymore and her rear needs to be supported. She wears diapers, so she needed her back end clipped short to help keep her clean. We're very happy with the work and will be returning every time she needs to be groomed.

Brandon is so good with all our pups! They look forward to seeing him, and the tenderness he shows them is only surpassed by how great they all look when he's done. Ask for Brandon; you won't regret it!

Brandon is the BEST!! I won’t take my dog to anyone else. I used to have a rescue Australian Shepherd that literally hated everyone but his family. Couldn’t even have my friends around him. The ONLY other person outside his family he loved, was Brandon. He is truly an angel of a human.

Absolutely wonderful experience and i will definitely be going back! They were extremely clean and friendly and they didnt hold my dog in a crate, instead let her roam around after she was done with her grooming which was wonderful to me

Rachel has done amazing every time we’ve brought our dogs in! We’ve got two high-anxiety pups, and they’ve both had great experiences here. They always come home looking and smelling amazing!

My puppy seemed very comfortable and happy with the groomer, who was nice and polite. She also did a great job, so my dog looks great, smells great, and is so soft. I'll be back for sure.

They are fantastic. I love that I can drop her off at her appointment time then pick her up as soon as she done. So less time with her being there. And she isn't in a crate the whole time either. She looks fantastic.

Took my dog here for his second haircut ever. They did a very good job assessing my doodle and did very good at keeping him comfortable throughout the process. She also made sure to give a good breakdown of what she did and how he behaved whenever we picked him up.

I was super nervous finding someone else to groom my labordoodle and I had an amazing experience. She did soooo good with my puppy and gave me some tips to help with maintaining my dogs coat. I will definitely be back.

From beginning to end Olivia’s experience at Dapper was great! The online appointment feature was a great convenience and the communication before during and upon completion of the grooming was phenomenal as well. We will definitely be regulars!
