Where Your pets get the loving care and attention they deserve!

Our stylists at Rufus DuMonde Pet Salon strive to make each groom a calm, safe, and stress-free experience. We have no size or breed limitations and tailor each groom to your pet’s needs.

Your dog or cat will be with the same groomer from the start of the groom to the finish, and we don’t rush. This one-on-one attention helps create a trusting and secure relationship with your pet.

Rufus DuMonde Pet Salon is conveniently located at the East location of Dog Haus University. With an appointment, your dog can be groomed during a boarding visit or a day of daycare!

Interested in a little extra color? Our groomers can use pet-safe dye to color your dog’s fur. Most people opt for a touch of color on the tail, ears, or paws, but your groomer will be happy to discuss any request!

We also have pet-safe nail color for the perfect pawdicure!

If you’re interested in a stylish look but don’t want to commit to a color, ask for a bandana or bows!

why choose Rufus DuMonde Pet Salon?

“I witnessed firsthand today how truly caring and dedicated they are at Rufus. Pup with the appointment ahead of ours is moving out of state, and there was a bit of banter about having to fly out for grooming appointments. This pup has been going to Rufus as long as mine, and has also developed the bond with their staff. They care about your pet!”
