Voted Best in Pet Services — three years running.
Rustic Scruff Grooming is a small, calm studio in Coal City, IL. We work by appointment only, take just a few dogs a day, and never use cage dryers — because every pup deserves to be the only one in the room.
What you get isn't a haircut — it's a calm afternoon of being completely doted on.

Salon policies
A few important things.
Cancellation policy
Cancellations within 24 hours of the appointment are charged 50% of services booked. No-shows are charged 100% of services booked. We send reminders ahead of time — please text or call as soon as you know.
Flea policy
If fleas are found during the appointment, a mandatory flea bath is added at an additional charge. To protect other clients and our salon, treatment of the home may be required before rebooking.
Why we do it
Grooming should feel like a treat — not a chore.
We've all dropped a pup off somewhere busy and felt a little uneasy. Rustic Scruff is the opposite of that. A small, sunlit room. One groomer. One dog at a time. The kind of place we'd want for our own.
