Where is Dapper Doodle Grooming?

In south Springfield, at 1929 E Independence St, Springfield, MO 65804. It’s the only shop we run. When a page on this site says we serve Ozark, Nixa or Republic, it means dogs from those towns come here, not that we have a shop there.

The name says doodle, but we groom every breed and coat type, and cats too. Rachel and Brandon groom, Breonna bathes and preps, and the team works together on every dog that comes in, whether they live around the corner or a couple of towns over.

Your dog has never paid for gas in their life, so the least we can do is make the trip easy. Book online, choose your groomer, and we’ll call you when they’re ready.

The salon sits just off the James River Freeway. From the freeway, exit onto Glenstone Avenue, then turn onto East Independence Street. Parking is right out front.

Neighbors from Bradford Park, Mission Hills, Ravenwood and Lakewood Village are a short drive away, and the freeway makes the rest of town easy. Book a time that fits around work, drop off on the way, and pick up when we call.

    Tell us what you’re thinking for the cut. We’ll listen, ask a few questions, and take it from there.
