Drop-In Nail Clipping and Grinding
Does my dog need a nail trim?
- Drop by anytime during store hours, and we’ll clip your dog’s nails for just $15, or nail grind for $25. No appointment required!
It’s not just for looks, or to protect your floors – long, unkempt nails can do serious damage to your dog.
When nails grow so long that they constantly touch the ground, they exert force back into the nail bed, creating pain for the dog and pressure on the toe joint. Over time, this can actually realign the joints of the foreleg and make the foot looked flattened and splayed.
Most people hate cutting their dog’s nails– in fact, most refuse to do so. That leaves the usual options of a pricey veterinary or full grooming appointment, when your dog may only need a nail trim.
Does my dog need their nails clipped or ground?
- We also do walk-in nail grinds as well. What’s the difference?
Nail grinding allows us to ‘round’ the nail as to ‘blunt’ the tip. This can help people with sensitive skin and hardwood floors too.
Not all dogs are candidates for nail grinding though. If your dog hates nail trims and has had bad experiences with nail clips before, a nail-grind MAY NOT be recommended for your dog. Don’t worry, we will let you know. We will never put a dog’s health (mental or physical) in danger to accomplish a nail grind, or clip for that matter. Our JDP Ambassadors do more nail clips and grinds than anyone in the area, and are highly competent and honest.
We’ll let you know how your dog performed during his/her Paw-ticure!
Easy Peasy Nail Trimming
- At Just Dog People, we offer a Rewards Program for Nail Services!
We offer a frequent nail trim/grind reward program–every six (6) nail trims or every six (6) grinds and you earn a free nail service.
* Psst — We’ve been known to clip cat, rabbit, and even guinea pig nails too!
Drop & Shop Bathing
No time to bathe your dog?
- All full service baths includes a shampoo, conditioner/treatment, blueberry facial, nail clip, anal expression, ear cleaning, blow-out and perfume/cologne of your choice.

Dog Food Consultation
Quick! Look at the side of your dog’s bag of food
- What is the carbohydrate % listed? How about sugar? (hmmm, why isn’t it listed?)
How Nutrition Changed Zoe’s Life
We changed our dog, Zoe’s, life through nutrition.
In fact, what we learned from Zoe’s experience was the push behind starting Just Dog People.
Zoe was on an expensive bag of Vet Rx food, steroids, antibiotics, and allergy meds for most of her first 6 years of life. When Jason met Katie, he playfully called Zoe ‘Stuffy’ (as in, Stuffed Animal). Zoe would lay around the house all day—like a stuffed animal—and was lethargic. She didn’t play often, and she just never acted like she felt well.
But everything changed with one decision: nutrition.
After researching dog food and ingredients, we swapped Zoe’s diet to something with less carbs, sugars, and additives—and the difference was incredible:
- 30 days in: noticeable energy boost
- 60 days in: her coat grew back, and her spark returned
- 7 years later: she’s on zero meds, and at nearly 14 years old, she still plays with our youngest, Wren
Zoe’s transformation was the reason Just Dog People was born.
We’ve helped hundreds of dog owners since then, and we’d love to help you too.
