How To Make Dog Grooming Your Favorite Chore In WNY

Having a dog groomed used to be another chore that you'd need to check off your list of things to do. Now, people are fighting over who gets to do it, thanks to this brilliant grooming/bar setup in Hamburg, New York.

Have you been fighting with your spouse over whose turn it is to give your dog a bath? Do you hate doing it at your house? Unless you've got an actual dog bath in your home, it can be a pain in the neck. The dog is either shaking and slipping all over the place in the tub, or they absolutely love it and they splash around and make a huge mess. Then when they get out, they tear through the house before they're even dry and make an even bigger mess.

I found a secret "hack" for dog grooming

Last night I checked out a new place where not only can I get my dogs cleaned up, but I can sit and relax with a beer while they do it for me! It's called Hounds & Hops and it's right in the village of Hamburg.

I brought Minnie Pearl in for a bath and a nail clipping. While I was sipping on a dark beer from the Finger Lakes, she was getting shampooed, blow-dried, and clipped from an experienced professional dog groomer. It was a much better experience than when I try to do it on my own at home.

It's not just beer either. They have a huge selection of craft beer, ciders, seltzers, and wine that you can drink at the bar or bag up to go.

They believe grooming your dog should be a social experience

Not only is socialization good for people, but it's good for your pets too. They've always got new events planned at Hounds & Hops. They've got dog dating events, they do dog birthday parties, and even barkmitzvas!

On Friday, September 18th, they will be holding an event for local rescue organization, Awesome Paws. They will have merch available, raffles, adoptable dogs, and more! Click here to see more details.

Then on Saturday, they will have a pre-celebration party for Hamburg's Oktoberfest that they're calling "Barktoberfest," complete with a dog parade and the coolest-looking grand marshal you've ever seen.

I'm going to guess there's still going to be fighting over whose job it is to groom the dog, only now they'll be fighting to do it instead of fighting to skip it.
