Why Pet Styling Matters

Professional styling doesn’t just make your pet look good — it supports their overall health and well-being by:



  • Reducing matting and skin irritation
  • Improving airflow to the skin (especially in warmer months)
  • Making it easier to monitor skin conditions or fleas
  • Keeping fur out of eyes, ears, and sensitive areas
  • Enhancing your pet’s comfort, hygiene, and confidence


Stylish pets aren’t just cute — they’re also cleaner, happier, and easier to care for between grooms.

For Dogs of All Breeds

We welcome pets of every shape, size, and fur type. Our groomers are trained in breed standards and skilled in adapting styles to suit your pet’s individual needs — from energetic puppies to shy senior pets.


Not sure what style works best? We’re happy to recommend looks based on:



  • Coat type and length
  • Climate and season
  • Lifestyle (active vs. indoor pets)
  • Breed and grooming history
  • Special health considerations

What Is Pet Styling?

Pet styling goes beyond functional grooming. While standard haircuts focus on coat maintenance, styling is about form, detail, and creativity. It involves specialized techniques to shape, contour, and finish your pet’s coat for a refined, breed-specific, or personalized look.



At Sittin’ Pretty, we style pets for:


  • Everyday wear and clean looks
  • Breed-standard grooming
  • Holiday or seasonal themes
  • Special events or pet portraits
  • Show preparation or competition grooming
  • Creative and playful transformations


If you’ve got a vision, we’ll bring it to life.
