01The grooms
A calm, unhurried menu — priced for your dog, not a chart.
Every dog is a little different, so grooms are priced by size, coat and condition. Tell us about your pup on the phone and you'll get a straight quote in a minute.

Full Groom
The complete visit — bath, blow-dry, breed-appropriate haircut, nail trim, and ear cleaning, all done at a calm, unhurried pace.
- Doodle favourite
Doodle & Specialty Cuts
Detailed scissor and clipper work for Goldendoodles and other coats that need extra time and care. A salon favorite among local doodle families.
-
Bath & Tidy
A thorough bath, brush-out, and light tidy-up between full grooms to keep your dog clean, fresh, and comfortable.
-
Puppy's First Groom
A gentle, confidence-building introduction to grooming for young pups — short, positive, and paced so the whole experience feels safe.
Quick stops & add-ons
- Nail Trim — A quick, careful nail trim to keep paws healthy and comfortable — great as a stand-alone stop between grooms.
- De-Shedding Treatment — A deep bath and brush-out that loosens and removes the undercoat to cut down on shedding around the house.
- Ear Cleaning — Gentle cleaning to help keep ears fresh and reduce buildup, especially helpful for floppy-eared and doodle coats.

One at a time 02The salon
Grooming that's calm for the dog, not just tidy for you.
The Prancing Puppy grew out of a simple belief: a groom should feel safe and low-stress for the dog. Owner Phadra works with one dog at a time, taking things at the pace each pup needs — which is why so many families have stayed for years, some driving in from well beyond Littleton just to keep coming back.
Anxious dogs, seniors and first-time puppies are especially welcome. The goal is a calm visit and a happy, glamorous coat at the end of it.

No crowd. No rush. Just your dog, on the table, in good hands.
03How it feels
A calm dog is an easy dog to groom.
Most grooming stress isn't about the haircut — it's the rush, the noise and the crates. Slowing down changes everything. Here's how we keep a visit gentle:
-
Gentle, one-on-one handling
One dog on the table at a time — never a rushed line of crates waiting their turn.
-
We go at your dog's pace
Nervous, senior and first-time pups get the extra minutes they need to feel safe.
-
First grooms made positive
A puppy's first visit is kept short and upbeat, so grooming starts life as a good thing.
Not sure how your pup will do? Tell us about them — no pressure, just a plan.

Loved by Littleton dog people.
Phadra is the absolute best groomer I've ever worked with. I've been taking my goldendoodle to her regularly for 5 years, and we even travel all the way up from Castle Rock just to have her groomed! She is professional, great with communication, very cost friendly, and so gentle and sweet to my dog. I couldn't recommend her enough!

I have been using Phadra (owner) for over 5 years. She always does a great job with the services provided. Most important is her approach to Zeus (our senior dog). She treats him like he is her own. Highly recommend!

Phadra does an incredible job with my Goldendoodle! She always takes such great care of him and every time I pick him up he looks amazing! She is speedy, efficient, and really cares for all of the dogs she sees. I will always recommend Prancing Puppy to anyone!
Megan Warren · Littleton, CO -
We love the Prancing Puppy! We've been clients for over 3 years and have followed her. Wrigley is happy to go and hang out at the salon with her friends — no anxiety or tears getting her there. She always comes back looking her most glamorous (Phadra does the best doodle cuts!). Two thumbs and two paws up!
Katie Rice · Littleton, CO -
Phadra does a phenomenal job. We take both our dogs here. It is affordable, low stress, and they always leave looking their best.
