Answers Before You Call

Do you take same-day grooming appointments in Old Mill Creek?

Usually, yes. Our shop is on Main Street, so if you call (847) 361-9653 early in the day we can often fit your dog or cat in that afternoon. Skunkings and messes get priority whenever we can manage it, because nobody wants to wait on that.

My property backs up to open fields and my dog is always full of burrs. Can you help?

That's one of the most common things we see from Old Mill Creek dogs. We handle burr removal, mat removal, and de-shedding regularly. For dogs who are out in the fields every day, we can also suggest a cut and a brushing routine that makes coat care easier between visits.

How far do you draw clients from?

Old Mill Creek is home base, so most of our village clients are just a few minutes away. We also see plenty of pets from Wadsworth, Lake Villa, Antioch, and Gurnee, all within a short drive of Main Street.

Still have a question? Josie is happy to talk it through. Call (847) 361-9653

What should Old Mill Creek customers know?

Old Mill Creek is a small Lake County village, about 160 residents spread across nearly eleven square miles of mostly open land. Homes sit along Main Street, Old Town Court, Stearns School Road, and Hunt Club Road, with the Tri-State Tollway cutting through the eastern edge. Fire coverage has come from neighboring Wadsworth since the 1960s, and daily errands tend to run toward Gurnee, Wadsworth, or Lake Villa. With so much rural acreage, plenty of dogs here live outdoors a good part of the day, which keeps us busy with burrs, mats, and the occasional skunk encounter. Our shop at 39060 Main Street sits right in the middle of it.

Why Old Mill Creek customers need this work

Country living shapes what pets around here need. Full-Service Dog Grooming in Old Mill Creek often starts with untangling burrs and field debris from working and farm dogs. Mess and Odor Cleanup Baths are a regular request when a curious pup finds a skunk near the creek lowlands, and Deshedding Treatment helps heavy-coated dogs through shedding season on properties where they spend most of the day outside. Cats get the same patient care, from Cat Grooming to nail trims. We keep prices fair and appointments flexible because we're grooming for the neighbors we see at the post office.
