Austin’s Original Grooming Salon Serving the City Since 1970.
From breed-specific cuts to bath-and-brush basics, our experienced groomers have been helping Austin dogs look and feel their best for more than five decades.
Clean Dogs Are Happy, Healthy Dogs
At Midtown Groom & Board, professional dog grooming is in our DNA. Our original owner, Dolly, launched Midtown in 1970 as Austin’s very first professional grooming salon — and more than 50 years later, we’re still setting the standard. Our professional, highly trained groomers boast decades of combined experience, delivering exactly the cut you desire, every time.
We take pride in Midtown’s longevity and our ability to provide top-notch, personalized grooming for every dog that walks through our door. Whether your pup needs a quick clean-up or a full transformation, our team is ready to make it happen.

Why Regular Grooming Matters
Keeping your dog well-groomed isn’t just about appearances — it’s an important part of their overall health and wellness routine. Regular professional grooming delivers benefits that go well beyond a clean coat:
- Happier, More Comfortable Dogs: Matting is not only unsightly, but it can be painful, especially in longer-haired breeds. Regular grooming prevents mats before they form.
- Healthier Skin and Coat: Our professional groomers use specialized tools to remove dead fur, distribute natural oils, and keep your dog’s skin and coat in top condition.
- Healthy Paws: Untrimmed nails can cause posture problems, joint pain, and even injuries. Regular nail trims keep your dog walking comfortably and feeling great.
- Ear Health: Regular ear cleaning helps prevent the buildup of dirt and debris that can lead to ear problems, especially in drop-eared breeds.
- Early Detection: Our groomers observe carefully as they work. They’re often the first to notice signs of hot spots, dryness, or other concerns — and they’ll let you know.
- A Cleaner Home: Regular grooming significantly cuts down on shedding. No more furry furniture.
