Clipping leaves a flat, sharp edge. Grinding smooths it off, so nothing catches on your floors, your furniture or your legs when your dog jumps up. It takes a couple of extra minutes and it is included with every bath and full groom we do.

Best groomer in Miami! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my baby. They’re so gentle, caring, and always make her look absolutely perfect. The best part is that she’s actually excited to go every time, which says everything. We’ve been coming here for almost two years now, and I’m so grateful we found them. Truly the best! ❤️🐶Posted on Google![]()

It was my first time at this salon; the team is excellent, and my dog looked so beautiful when he came out to me. The location is convenient, and there is free parking. I drove there from North Miami and am so impressed by this wonderful place!Posted on Google![]()

We got recommended by our previous groomer that moved out of town. And we could not be happier. Suni enjoyed the groom so much that she greeted us with so much excitement. The front desk person was super sweet and friendly. The groomer Kharla did an amazing job and our dog came home soft and fluffy and smell so good. I’m happy to say we have found our new go to place for our pup.
A freshly clipped nail is sharp. It is a clean cut across a hard surface, and the edge it leaves will scratch hardwood, pull threads out of a couch and leave marks on your arms. Grinding takes that edge off with a rotary tool, rounding the tip so the nail is smooth all the way around.
It also lets us take the nail slightly shorter than clipping alone safely allows, because we can work gradually and watch the quick rather than committing in one cut. For dogs with dark nails where the quick is not visible, that matters.
Grinding is part of our Miami dog nail trimming, and both are included in the luxury bath service and full grooming at our Edgewater salon on NE 18th Street. Barky Lounge is a Miami pet groomer, minutes from Downtown, Midtown and Brickell.
Included at no extra cost with every bath and full groom. On its own it is part of a nail trim from $15.
Included free with the Luxury Bath Service from $50 and the Full Groom Service from $70. As a standalone visit, nails are from $15 and welcome as a walk in when we have space. Final price confirmed at drop off. See all services and prices.
| Your dog | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Jumps up on people | Rounded nails do not scratch |
| Lives on hardwood or tile | No clicking, no scratches, better grip |
| Has dark nails | We can take more off safely, working gradually |
| Catches nails on bedding or carpet | A sharp clipped edge is usually the cause |
| Has dewclaws that curl | These get missed at home and can grow into the pad |
| Hates having paws handled | Grinding a few at a time with breaks is easier than clipping |
Every service below is available at our Edgewater salon, on its own or alongside a full groom.
They work together. We clip to length, then grind to smooth and refine. Grinding alone on a long nail takes far too long.
No. The nail has no feeling, only the quick inside does, and grinding lets us stop before we reach it.
Some do at first. We introduce the tool gradually and do a few nails at a time. Most dogs settle once they realize it does not hurt.
Every 4 to 6 weeks for most dogs. If you can hear them on the floor, they are too long. Read how often to trim your dog’s nails. If you’d rather do it yourself between visits, see how to trim dog nails safely at home.
Yes. Nails are welcome as a walk in when there is space. Call ahead on (786) 409-2885 to check, or see our opening hours.
No. Barky Lounge is dogs only.
