Pets deserve their own special ‘me’ days just as much as we humans do, even if often, the sight of running water makes them scurry for a hiding spot. These delicate souls tend to be highly sensitive, which is why you don’t want just anyone taking care of your little furry friends.
For pet owners looking for the best place to clean up your pets’ appearances, these 8 pet grooming services in Jakarta are known to treat them as if they hailed from Buckingham Palace. Be warned though, one visit to these groomers and your best friends might never want to go back home again.
No need to worry if your dogs aren’t keen on swimming – the unicorn floaties have got them covered

Your little furry friend needs as much TLC as you do and while there’s still no yoga retreat for dogs that we know of, The Dog Spa has the next best thing. Located near SCBD, this luxurious dog retreat comes with everything your doggo could ever want with a swimming pool, a dog park, and grooming services to clean them up after their day in the sun.

An express wash starts at Rp. 135,000 (~USD9.50) while a full-service wash, which includes dead hair removal and nail trim, starts at Rp. 175,000 (~USD12.32). If you want to pamper your dogs to the fullest, mud baths and microbubble baths, which can help with various skin problems, are also available separately.
While they’re far from a full-blown vet, their groomers aren’t afraid to get down and dirty with additional treatment available for ticks and fleas. These treatments might take a while to finish and thanks to their daycare services, white-collar workers in the area can simply drop their pets off and pick their refreshed and rejuvenated furkids up later.
The Dog Spa would be more than happy to accommodate any of your dogs’ upcoming barkdays with themed photoshoots

Even if your dogs aren’t in need of treatment, we still highly recommend the place to spend some quality time with your dogs. As we all know how fleetingly short dog years are, The Dog Spa collaborates with Petto Photo if you’re looking for a memento of your time together on the premises

Look at how happy this little ball of fur is after his makeover
Image credit: @thebarkbershopjakarta
Makeovers aren’t just a specialty of the ‘Fab Five’ from Netflix’s Queer Eye, but are also what The Barkbershop is especially good at. In fact, you should expect a waiting period of at least a week for appointments, possibly longer on weekends, because of their popularity.
A simple bath starts at Rp. 90,000 (~USD6.34) but if you want the full-on Barkber Style makeover for your pet, the service starts at Rp. 315,000 (~USD22.18). As the makeover process can be quite lengthy, owners can normally sip on some coffee served by the first-floor cafe but given the current pandemic, the cafe only serves takeaway for the moment.
The Barkbershop regularly hosts basic grooming workshops overseen by the salon’s groomers

It’s a bit of a shame because the cafe served complimentary dog treats for customers on each visit. These dog treats are also edible for humans and if there’s anything we feel like we haven’t done enough with our doggos, it’s to share a meal together.
For owners wanting to take a more hands-on approach with their dogs, The Barkbershop periodically holds grooming workshops supervised by their own professional groomers.
Address: Jalan Ratu Melati I Blok V T no 1, RT.3/RW.13, Duri Kepa, Kec. Kb. Jeruk, Kota Jakarta Barat, Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta 11510

Ask them to send two groomers if your dog has a reputation for being excitable

When it’s time to go to the vet, going to the groomers’ can sometimes make your pet nervous – and unless you’re a trained professional, home grooming can be hit-or-miss. This is where Happy Pets comes in, giving you the best of both worlds with their professional groomers dropping by your place where your pets are at their most comfortable.
If you want to ensure your pets are well taken care of, you can always watch the entire grooming process

Unlike typical pet groomers, owners also get a chance to witness the grooming process firsthand, ensuring their pets are well taken care of. As the grooming process is done in your own home, you also don’t have to worry about your pets catching diseases from other animals.
Basic grooming service starts at Rp. 135,000 (~USD9.50) for both cats and dogs. Other additional services, including massages and flea treatments, are also available separately.
Opening hours: Mon – Sat 8AM-6PM | Closed on Sundays

You know your dogs are being well taken care of while grooming when they have their mouths wide open

Like Happy Pets, Pawsome Pet Grooming is a home grooming service with all the same benefits plus the addition of a membership card. Members are entitled to benefits ranging from free flea baths, coat supplements, and cashback, and with grooming having to be done on a regular basis, they add up to a great deal for long-term pet owners.
Basic grooming service starts at Rp. 90,000 (~USD6.38) while a more comprehensive option, which includes styling, starts at Rp. 165,000 (~USD11.70) for both cats and dogs. If you’d like, you can also opt for fancier shampoos, such as a degreaser to remove excessive oil, at an additional cost.

Nothing is out of bounds – including fur dyeing – in Vodka & Latte’s pursuit of cuteness
Image credit: @vodkaandlatte
While the name sounds like something you’d drink after a hard day’s work, Vodka & Latte in Kemang is actually named after co-founder Giri Sumantri’s two dogs, Vodka and Latte. If you want your little ball of fur to look extra fluffy with a dash of color, this is the place to go.
Subscribing to the Japanese-style grooming philosophy where cuteness overload is the mantra, simply making your dogs look presentable isn’t enough for these guys. Basic grooming starts at Rp. 250,000 (~USD17.60) while proper styling starts at Rp. 450,000 (~USD31.68), excluding additional fur coloring.
Vodka & Latte’s facilities include a pool and a slide

Pet owners going on a business trip can also rely on their dog hotel service where they have a park and a swimming pool on-site to keep your dogs from missing you. The expansive facilities, including a cafe, are also perfect for barkday celebrations.

The pool also has a shallow section for puppies looking to get their paws wet for the first time

True to its name, Zoom Pet City in Kemang is a one-stop shop for all of your pet needs with a sizable outdoor area consisting of a park and swimming pool. Entrance to the swimming pool costs money but access to the park is completely free and you can find plenty of pet owners exchanging stories and gushing over each other’s adorable doggos on the weekends.
Cat ladies aren’t a cautionary tale, they’re the kind of future we should all be striving for – start by visiting these adopted cats

Right next to the park is Zoom’s main building housing a pet shop, a semi-outdoor cafe for humans, and Zoom’s pet grooming service. The building also has a dedicated playground for cats where visitors can play with all the felines Zoom has adopted over the years.
Zoom Pet City’s dog park is great if you’re looking to socialize with other dog owners

Humble as the shop may be, their love for grooming animals is far from lacking
Image credit: @malchisoda
The small and humble Glory Pet Shop might not look as fancy as the others on this list but their affordable prices and level of service would make you a convert. The only word that could describe their level of service would be intimate with Glory making every effort to make your pet’s time with them as pleasant as possible.
Before the grooming begins, they always ask the owners how they would want their pets to look and if their pets have certain quirks in how they’d like to be treated to soothe their nerves. If you’re still unsure, you can always ask to be taken upstairs to watch the grooming process firsthand.
While the shop’s pet food selection can be overwhelming, the knowledgeable staff is always ready to help
Image credit: @glorypetshopjkt
The questioning can go the other way as well and owners are free to barrage the knowledgeable staff with as many questions as they want to about their pets. Feel free to solicit recommendations on what type of food would be best for your pets as the selection can be overwhelming.
Basic grooming service starts at Rp. 70,000 (~USD4.93) for both cats and dogs. They also have teeth scaling for dogs starting at Rp. 500,000 (~USD35.20) but as their scaling method is a trade secret, owners aren’t allowed to see the process.

Each of Groovy’s outlets has a small park where your dogs can enjoy some complimentary playtime
Image credit: @groovypetcenter_rd
Groovy Pet Center first started out as a small pet shop way back in the early 90s before turning into the one-stop pet center they are now. As of writing, they have three locations in Kemang and Radio Dalam in South Jakarta and one in Bintaro, South Tangerang.
The Radio Dalam shop has a vet clinic while the Kemang and Bintaro shop sits next to the Kopi Cat Cafe where visitors can socialize with Groovy’s adorable cats while sipping their coffee. All three provide basic grooming services with a small dog park and swimming pool for your dogs to play in before being groomed.
If you’d like, you can have your dogs spend some time at the pool before having them groomed
Image credit: @groovypetcenter_rd
Basic grooming starts at Rp. 190,000 (~USD13.47), including a visit to the park, but access to the pool requires an additional charge. For those still wary of going outside during the pandemic, Groovy also offers pet pickup and drop-off, plus home grooming services.
