Answers Before You Call

How long does it take to get to WASH & WAG from Lake Villa?

Only a few minutes. Our shop at 39060 Main Street in Old Mill Creek sits right on the way through town, so most Lake Villa pet parents are here and back before the coffee gets cold. Being this close also makes last-minute drop-offs and same-day slots much easier to arrange.

Can you fit my dog in the same day if I live in Lake Villa?

Usually, yes. Because the drive is so short, we can often work Lake Villa dogs and cats into an open grooming slot the same day. Call (847) 361-9653 and tell us what you need. If the schedule is full, we will find the earliest opening instead of guessing at a time we cannot keep.

Do you clean up dogs that have been swimming or rolling around the lakes?

That is one of our favorite jobs. Lake Villa dogs come back from Cedar Lake and Deep Lake smelling like the bottom of a pond, and our Mess and Odor Cleanup Baths handle it. We use a thorough bath, a proper brush-out, and if your dog tangled up its coat out there, we take care of the mats too.

Do you groom cats for Lake Villa residents?

We do. Cats get baths, brush-outs, nail trims, and full grooms, all handled slowly and gently. Some Lake Villa cat owners worry their pet will be too stressed to groom, so we start with the basics and let the cat set the pace. Long-haired coats with mats are welcome, and we will show you what to brush with at home between visits.

What should Lake Villa customers know?

Lake Villa sits on glacial moraine country in northern Lake County, with Cedar Lake just north of the village center and Deep Lake to the east. Much of the village is lake, pond, and wetland, so plenty of local dogs spend their weekends around the water and come home needing a good rinse. The Wisconsin Central line runs straight through the village center, carrying Metra commuters between Antioch and downtown Chicago, and a lot of those riders pass right by our shop on the way. Lake Villa Township, the Lake Villa District Library, and Lakes Community High School anchor a community of about 8,700 neighbors, many of them families with dogs and cats to keep tidy.

Full-Service Dog Grooming in Lake Villa covers haircuts, nails, and ears in one visit. Same-day slots matter here because our shop is the nearest one, so quick turnarounds are easy.

Why choose WASH & WAG Country Grooming for pet grooming in Lake Villa?

WASH & WAG Country Grooming is the closest grooming shop for Lake Villa pet parents, and that short drive makes a real difference. Drop your dog or cat off on Main Street in Old Mill Creek, run a quick errand, and pick up a clean, calm pet the same day. Josie books Lake Villa clients fast, keeps prices honest, and takes time with first-timers, seniors, and anxious animals.

Lake Villa is the closest village to our Main Street shop, so nobody in the area gets a faster drop-off. You will not burn a morning driving to Gurnee or Libertyville when the groomer is a few minutes from the Metra station. That proximity is also why same-day appointments happen more often here: when your dog is close by, fitting an extra groom into the day is simple. Josie charges fair, plain prices, works with both dogs and cats, and has a soft spot for nervous pets. Neighbors bring their animals here because the groom is thorough, the visit is unhurried, and the round trip takes less time than a grocery run.
