Bath and Brush in Chicago IL at All 4 Dirty Paws

We're a pet groomer rooted in Chicago IL, and we work with dogs of every size and coat type. Whether you've got a small dog bath appointment or you're bringing in a large dog that needs extra time and space, we handle it the same way — carefully and without rushing. Our team knows the difference between a dog that needs a light rinse and one that needs a full bath and brush out from nose to tail.

Dog bathing takes more than just water and soap. The drying step matters just as much. A dog that leaves wet or half-dried can get skin irritation, and matting gets worse when fur dries tangled. That's why every dog bathing and blow dry we do uses the right tools and enough time to finish the job properly. Your dog leaves clean, dry, and comfortable.

Chicago IL winters are rough on dogs. Cold air and dry indoor heat pull moisture from coats, which leads to flaking, static, and excess shedding all over your furniture. Spring and fall aren't much easier — mud, rain, and wind mean your dog picks up more grime than usual on daily walks. Regular bath and brush services help manage all of that. Staying on a consistent schedule through the season changes keeps your dog's coat in better shape year-round, and it makes each visit quicker and easier for everyone.

Dog Bath Options for Every Size

We offer small dog bath, medium dog bath, large dog bath, and XL dog bath appointments. Size affects how long the bath takes and how much product we use, but the care we put in stays the same across the board. Bigger dogs don't get a rushed version of the service just because they take more effort.

If you have a breed with a heavy double coat or a lot of undercoat, a bath and brush out is especially useful. Getting the loose fur out while the coat is clean and damp makes brushing more effective and reduces the amount of fur your dog drops at home for the next few weeks.

Blow Dry and Brush Out That Actually Finishes the Job

A lot of people think a dog shower ends when the rinse is done. It doesn't. The blow dry and brush out is where the real work happens. We use professional dryers set to safe temperatures and work through the coat methodically so nothing stays damp and no tangles get locked in as the fur dries.

For dogs with dense or curly coats, skipping this step causes matting fast. Our dog bathing and blow dry process takes the time needed to get the coat fully dry and smooth before your dog leaves.
