Hair of the Dog Spa prides itself on offering humane, stress-free grooming. Most importantly we know your dog is a cherished part of your family - - and that's the way they're treated here!

We opened our doors and services to the public in July 2001. In June 2002 we were voted "Business Owners of the Month" by the town of Matawan. We are also Wolfs' (Matawan Canine Police Dog) personal stylist!! Even though he is now retired he still enjoys his time at the spa!

The owner Dawn Ledbetter has always had a deep love for all animals. Before becoming a professional pet stylist she worked in veterinary medicine as a veterinary technician. Later she decided to change careers and became a professional pet groomer. In her spare time she has donated countless hours working one on one with shelter animals to rehabilitate them for adoption. She also became involved with cane corso rescue where she visited shelters for tempermant testing, release, transport and fostering.

All of our staff members have apprenticed and been personally trained by our owner. With her training each staff member shares her expertise, style, and personal care in every pet they groom. We pride ourselves in setting the standard of excellence. We make it our priority to meet all of our customers needs. Customizing is our specialty, whether it is your new puppy, your geriatric friend, or maybe a chronic medical condition, we are here for you and your pet!
