Fairfield dog owners have a new place to turn for grooming they can trust. Dogfather Grooming — one of Connecticut's largest and most established grooming companies — has opened a full-service salon at 1125 Post Road, bringing nearly two decades of experience and a complete menu of services to the neighborhood.
Dogfather is no newcomer. Founded in 2005 by Matt Harwood — inspired by two poodles named Vader and Lulu, and a belief that grooming should be grounded in skill, empathy, and respect — the company has grown over nearly twenty years into one of Connecticut's largest and most trusted names in pet care. For Fairfield owners, that experience is the reassurance behind every appointment: professionally trained groomers, consistent results, and a team that knows how to make grooming day calm instead of stressful.
At the new Fairfield salon, everything your dog needs happens under one roof — baths, de-shedding, nail care, and breed-specific cuts for dogs of every size, coat, and age. Each groom is tailored to the individual dog, from a puppy's very first visit to a regular's signature style, and handled with the same patience whether your pup is easygoing or simply needs a little extra reassurance. The goal is never just a good haircut; it's a comfortable experience your dog is happy to come back to.
What longtime clients talk about most, though, is the relationships. Many say their Dogfather groomer understands their dog better than anyone — treating each pet, and each family, as their own. In Fairfield, that team is led by Salon Manager Rebecca Begnoche, a six-year member of the Dogfather family, alongside groomer McKayla Cartwright, known for her patience with every dog in her chair.
The salon is built to fit real life, too. Booking is simple — reserve online in seconds, call or text, or stop in — and the Fairfield location offers walk-in nail trims and same-day grooming appointments, so busy pet parents aren't stuck waiting weeks for care.
The Fairfield salon is open and taking appointments now, with 20% off for new customers on their first visit.
