Pet Grooming in Orland Park

Orland Park's groomers range from neighborhood salons and pet-store grooming counters to mobile vans that park outside your home. A full groom usually covers a bath, haircut, nail trim and ear cleaning; most groomers also offer bath-only visits, de-shedding and quick tidy-ups between full grooms.

Rabies vaccination and your dog's tag

The Orland Park village code makes it unlawful to keep an animal in the village that is required to be vaccinated under the Cook County Animal and Rabies Control Ordinance and has not been vaccinated against rabies by a licensed veterinarian within the calendar year, with an exception for dogs and cats under four months old. Evidence of vaccination is the serially numbered tag issued by Cook County, or a licensed veterinarian, attached to the collar or harness. Cook County Animal and Rabies Control says every animal vaccinated against rabies is issued a tag bought from the county. Groomers will ask for proof of rabies vaccination.

State licenses

The Illinois Department of Agriculture licenses and inspects kennel operators and day care operators under the state's Animal Welfare Act. If a groomer also boards dogs or runs a day care, ask whether it holds that state license. A license is not a measure of skill, so also ask how long the groomer has worked and whether they groom your breed often.

Summer heat and winter salt

In June 2026, Cook County Animal and Rabies Control advised walking dogs on grass, dirt or gravel rather than asphalt in a heat wave, and said never to shave a dog because its coat protects it from overheating and sunburn. For thick coats, ask your groomer about a trim or a de-shed instead of a shave. In winter, wipe salt off your dog's paws after walks and ask your groomer to keep the fur between the pads trimmed.

Leptospirosis

In September 2025, Cook County Animal and Rabies Control reminded residents to keep dogs safe from leptospirosis as cases rose in Chicago, and advised leashing dogs outdoors and asking your vet about the leptospirosis vaccine. Check with your groomer about their vaccine requirements.

Before the first appointment

• Tell the groomer about your dog's health, age and temperament.
• Ask how dogs are dried; if a cage dryer is used, someone should check the dog often.
• Ask which vaccines they require, and reschedule if your dog is coughing.
• If the coat is badly matted, ask about a short clip rather than hours of brushing out.
