Redwind Pet Resort is a full-service pet facility in Oklahoma City that combines overnight boarding, daycare, and grooming under one roof, allowing owners to drop off a dog for a multi-day stay and have it bathed and trimmed before pickup. The facility sits on the north side of the city and operates as an all-in-one alternative to splitting care between a groomer and a separate boarding kennel.
The business functions as a hybrid: a boarding and daycare operation with an attached grooming salon. This setup appeals to owners who want their dog groomed during a boarding stay without coordinating separate appointments or transporting the dog twice. The facility accepts dogs of all sizes and breeds, though it does enforce vaccination requirements and behavioral screening before acceptance.
Grooming services are priced by dog size and coat condition. Small dogs (under 25 pounds) start around $45 to $60 for a basic bath and brush; medium dogs (25 to 60 pounds) range from $60 to $80; large dogs (over 60 pounds) run $80 to $110. Full grooming packages that include nail trim, ear cleaning, and breed-specific cuts add $20 to $40 depending on size. Confirm current pricing by phone, as grooming rates adjust seasonally.
Boarding rates are charged per night and vary by room type. Standard kennels run approximately $35 to $45 per night; larger suites with more amenities cost $50 to $65 per night. Daycare (drop-off during business hours without overnight stay) is offered at roughly $25 to $35 per day. Multi-day boarding packages sometimes include a grooming session at a slight discount compared to booking each service separately.
Redwind's primary advantage is operational convenience: a dog stays in one place for both boarding and grooming, eliminating the need for two facilities and two transportation trips. This appeals to busy owners and dogs that travel poorly.
PetSmart Grooming, available at multiple Oklahoma City locations, offers grooming only, not boarding. Prices are often lower for basic baths ($25 to $45 depending on size) but there is no option to board the dog on-site. Owners must arrange boarding separately, typically at a kennel or veterinary facility.
Local boarding-only kennels like Evergreen Pet Resort charge comparable per-night rates ($30 to $60) but do not groom on-site. The owner either books grooming before drop-off or picks up an ungroomed dog and arranges grooming elsewhere afterward. This works for owners on a fixed schedule but adds complexity for longer stays or dogs with coat maintenance needs.
Independent groomers scattered across Oklahoma City (many operating from home-based studios or small salons) typically charge $50 to $90 for a full groom, depending on experience and specialization, but offer no boarding. They suit owners who prioritize grooming quality and are willing to coordinate boarding separately.
Choose Redwind if your dog needs both boarding and grooming within the same trip and you value convenience over shopping for the cheapest individual service. Choose PetSmart or a local independent groomer if grooming quality is the priority and you have a separate boarding arrangement. Choose a boarding-only facility if you groom at home or prefer to time grooming separately from travel.
Redwind works well for owners taking multi-day trips who want their dog returned clean and groomed, for dogs with behavioral issues that benefit from staying in one familiar place during boarding, and for owners without reliable transportation between multiple facilities. It is less ideal for owners seeking show-quality or breed-specific grooming (independent specialists may offer more expertise) or for those whose dogs are anxious in group environments (boarding facilities with live play areas may fit better).
Call ahead to schedule a grooming appointment and confirm boarding dates. On the first visit, bring vaccination records (rabies and DHPP required at minimum), proof of flea and tick prevention, and a list of any behavioral notes or medical needs. A staff member will walk the owner through the facility, show where the dog will be housed, confirm pickup time, and discuss grooming preferences. Some owners prefer to observe the intake process to watch how staff interact with their dog; Redwind allows this. The facility typically processes boarding intake and grooming consultation at the same appointment.
Redwind operates Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with no Sunday hours. It is closed on major holidays; verify holiday closures in advance if planning an extended trip. On-site parking is available and free. The facility is located on the north side of Oklahoma City; confirm the specific address and directions before the first visit, as GPS sometimes directs to neighboring addresses.
Redwind earns its place in Oklahoma City's pet service landscape by solving a real logistical problem: owners no longer need to choose between a cheap bare-bones boarding experience and the hassle of coordinating grooming separately. For owners whose schedule demands both services at once, it eliminates friction.
