One-on-One Grooming for Dogs and Cats in South Bend
Appointment-only, home-based grooming where your pet gets Jennie's full attention — start to finish, no distractions, big or small we welcome all
Farm-Raised, Pet-Obsessed, and Built for One Thing
Most grooming salons rush pets through with a packed schedule, kennels full of barking dogs, and whoever's available handling your pet. Your dog comes home stressed, and you're left wondering if they were even treated well.
Jennie Rhodes grew up farm-raised, surrounded by animals her whole life, and spent 10 years in 4H before launching Puppy Dog Lane over 6 years ago. She runs her business out of her home — appointment-only, no walk-ins, one pet at a time. That means zero distractions for your pet, and Jennie's full attention from the moment they arrive until the moment you pick them up. Her motto says it all: big or small, I welcome all.
Whether your dog dreads the groomer or your cat has never had a successful groom anywhere else, the calm, focused environment at Puppy Dog Lane changes the experience entirely.
