Fur Salon
We will never cage dry here! We are committed to excellent service and professional grooming treatments that are specially designed around you and your dogs needs. This attention to detail will allow our client's guardians to go about their daily business knowing their pets are being well cared for.
We book by appointment. Monday-Friday 8am-5pm and Saturday 9am-3pm. This means at the time you drop off your dog for services they will be receiving their spa treatment within that hour. Head to tail, most dogs are back home smelling fresh and relaxed in no time!
If you are out and about for the day, you can add an extra $10.00 and pick your dog up when you want to. Your dog will be able to enjoy the relaxed daycare exercise area before and after they get cleaned up. Watch your dogs enthusiasm grow the next time you say "bath time". You will quickly notice them getting just as excited at drop off time as they are when you pick them up!
Prices are determined by breed, size of dog and condition of coat. Note that all prices are starting and approximate. For a more accurate price, the groomer must see your pet.

Meet Your Groomers
Kate Hilliard
Hello my name is Kate Hilliard, and I would like to consider myself your very own personal Fur Specialist. I have known since I was a child that working with animals was my passion in life. I started grooming in 2004 when I became a bather at a bustling pet salon in Gurnee, Illinois. I spent my extra time soaking up all the information or grooming tips from the pet stylists I worked with during my training. In 2007 I attended the Grooming Academy in Hoffman Estates, IL. This experience, along with my passion for animals, has driven me every day to be the best I can be in every aspect of the pet industry. Continuing my education with seminars, trade shows, along with discussion & demonstrations are some of my favorite ways to keep up with the newest trends and best techniques available.
I discovered Fur The Love of Dogs in 2010, where I saw my ideal image of a pet spa environment become a reality. Every single pet is a family member here, each with their own personality and dynamic. I'm able to take the time in getting to know and understand the needs of each of my clients and pets alike. With a cage-free environment (unless otherwise requested), your pet will be handled by me during their blow drying process making the spa experience a much less stressful and enjoyable one for my Fur Friends. It's my belief that grooming is more than just aesthetics, but examining each pet from nose to tail can be extremely beneficial for health purposes as well. I enjoy working with my clients to find the best hair cut or treatment each time to suit the needs of both pet and parent.
People often ask me, ”What is your favorite part about grooming?“The answer: The creativity that is involved with each pet and each specific hair-cut! Anything from a breed clip for a Standard Poodle or a Schnauzer with a Mo-Hawk, to a kitty with a Lion Clip! I enjoy it all and I look forward to the questions and creativity every time I meet a Fur Family member. I welcome questions about maintaining good pet health and will work with you and your family one-on-one if needed. Stop in anytime for a visit! I can't wait to meet your Fur Pet!
Brittni Stebbins
Brittni came to us with a passion for dogs! She first realized how much she loved animals at a very young age. Caring for her own dogs all of her life, she decided to enter into the animal industry by breeding dogs she loved. Brittni also started walking dogs for people while they were away at work or on vacations. In 2008 she decided to become a professional groomer, and she received her certification. Now that she was able to groom her dog walking clients, she also expanded into local groom shops where she met us at Fur The Love of Dogs. Brittni really loves grooming because it gives her a chance to work with animals while being creative at the same time. There is no other job in the world she would rather do!
