If wags were wishes, every lucky dog in Boulder County would get to visit The Hydrant in Boulder, the premier pet grooming shop “for pets of distinction and owners who care.” Since 1970, The Hydrant has been the locally-owned place to bring your canine friends for some special attention. Whether your best friend is a bull mastiff or a teacup poodle, every dog is Top Dog at The Hydrant. “Our full grooming service includes an invigorating bath, and we clean the dog’s nails and ears. Then we give your dog a haircut and finish with conditioner,” says Elisha Martinez, manager at The Hydrant. “Our main goal is to keep your dogs clean and happy.” Groomers Valerie Brandner and Lori Marcin are like “super stylists for dogs.” The most popular service is the full spa package, complete with a facial, aromatherapy, paw treatment and special cologne. At The Hydrant, dogs come first – but we like their great customer service, too.

The Hydrant stands out with its canine and human customers for its excellent customer service, the smiling faces that greet the pooches and, points out manager Elisha Martinez, “everything is included at one price, with no add-ons. Other grooming shops may be cheaper, but we include with the haircut: bath, nail clipping and ear cleaning, and friendly dogs get to be cage-free. We give one of the best haircuts in town, and we’ve provided excellent, reliable service for 39 years, with the same owner, Joy Bishop.” The three groomers – Martinez, Valerie Brandner and Jenny Wehinger – deserve much of the credit for The Hydrant’s success. They have all been there for more than five years. “We’re hair stylists for dogs,” says Martinez. And if this isn’t enough, the pup who has everything might fancy Hydrant’s most popular service – the spa package, including a facial that repels and removes odors, aromatherapy, paw treatment and special cologne. Oh, for a dog’s life.
