One salon. Plenty of 417.
Dapper Doodle is one grooming salon, at 1929 E Independence St, Springfield, MO 65804. We groom dogs and cats from Springfield and the towns around it. Here’s what to know if you’re driving in.
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.
