Specializing in grooming small breeds under 40 pounds since 1995, Posh Pet is a grooming salon located in the heart of Santa Rosa. Over nearly three decades, they’ve built a solid reputation with owners of small dogs who want consistent, experienced care. The groomers here understand how to handle petite pups—they know which ones get anxious in new spaces and how to make the experience calm rather than chaotic.

The salon’s main strength is their focus on bathing and styling tailored to individual dogs. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, they take time to understand what works for your specific dog, whether that’s a particular cut, coat treatment, or just extra patience if your dog gets stressed during grooming. That customization matters, especially if your dog has had bad experiences at other places.

Beyond the grooming chairs, there’s a small accessories boutique stocked with collars, sweaters, and other items—useful if you need to grab something on your way out or want to pick up a gift. It’s the kind of place where you might find something you actually want, rather than just novelty stuff.

If you need somewhere for your dog to spend time while you’re busy exploring Santa Rosa or handling errands around Sonoma County, Posh Pet runs a daycare and Playcare facility. Small dogs get to socialize and burn energy with other dogs in an engaged environment. It’s not just kenneling—they’re actually interacting and playing, which makes a real difference in how tired (in a good way) your dog is by the end of the day.

The salon operates in a small-dog-focused way throughout, which means if you have a larger dog, this isn’t the place for you. But if your dog weighs under 40 pounds and you want someone who specializes in their size range, it’s worth calling ahead to discuss your dog’s needs and get on their schedule.
