Questions About Dog O Mat
Got questions? We've got answers.
The questions we hear most from dog parents, organized by topic. Don't see yours? Give us a call at (734) 769-1492.
Scheduling & Hours
Do I need an appointment?
Not for self-service baths or nail trims. Walk in any time during business hours, no appointment needed. Full-service grooming and de-skunking treatments are by appointment, so give us a call at (734) 769-1492 to set a time.
What are your hours?
We are open Thursday through Monday: Thursday and Monday 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm, and Friday through Sunday 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. We are closed Tuesday and Wednesday.
How late can I start a self-service bath?
The last bath starts 30 minutes before closing, so plan to arrive with enough time to wash and dry your dog.
How do I request a call back?
Use the form on our contact page and we will call you back.
Self-Service Dog Wash
What's included in a self-service bath?
Waist-high bathtubs, shampoos and conditioners, two towels, one washcloth, a variety of brushes and combs, and aprons. A blow dryer is not included with the bath. Rent one for $5 per half hour, or rent a grooming table for $12 per half hour with a dryer included.
How much does self-service bathing cost?
Regular baths are $20 for dogs under 100 lbs and $22 for dogs over 100 lbs. Blow dryers are not included with the bath and rent for $5 per half hour. Grooming table rental is $12 per half hour with a blow dryer included, and de-skunking treatment starts at $15.
Can I get help grooming my own dog?
Yes. Grooming products are available, the rental grooming table comes with a blow dryer and all the equipment and tools you need to fully groom your dog, and staff are available to help with the equipment.
My dog is nervous around strangers. Is self-service a good fit?
That is exactly what it is for. You handle your dog yourself the whole time in a calm, dog-friendly space, so dogs who dislike strangers stay comfortable.
Full-Service Grooming
What's included in a full-service bath?
Bath, conditioner, ear cleaning, blow dry, brush through, and nail trimming. Pricing ranges from $45 to $95 depending on breed, size, and coat condition.
What's included in full grooming?
Everything in the full-service bath plus a haircut styled to your preferences. Pricing ranges from $65 to $160. Coat clipping prices depend on breed, size, and coat condition, so call for an estimate.
Do you handle anxious or difficult dogs?
Yes. Our groomers use a compassionate, behavior-focused approach and understand canine anxiety. Many dogs who struggled at other groomers do great here.
What add-on services are available?
Foot trim $20, sanitary trim $20, de-shedding $15+, de-matting $15+, and de-skunking treatment $15+.
Nail Trims
Do I need an appointment for a nail trim?
No. Walk-in nail trims are available any time during business hours, and most take just a few minutes. You can also call ahead to set a time.
How much does a nail trim cost?
Nail trimming and grinding is $15 for any size dog.
My dog panics at nail trims. Can you help?
Call ahead and tell us what has worked or hasn't for your dog. We can talk through the visit and aim to make it as comfortable as possible.
De-Skunking
How much does de-skunking cost?
De-skunking treatment starts at $15, by appointment. Call us as soon as it happens, because fresh skunk oil is easier to treat.
Should I try tomato juice first?
Save your tomato juice. Home remedies usually just spread the oil around. Bring your dog to us and we will treat it properly.
Dog Toys, Supplies & Food
What brands do you carry?
Toys and chews from Kong and Benebone, brushes, combs, and care supplies like Nature's Miracle, plus premium food from Fromm and Stella & Chewy's and plenty of treats.
Can I shop without using the grooming services?
Of course. The shop is open during all regular business hours, whether or not your dog is getting a bath.

2740 Jackson Ave, Ann Arbor, MI 48103, on Ann Arbor's west side near the Scio Township line.
What areas do you serve?
