Dog groomers in Washington

12 pet grooming shops are mapped within about nine miles of central Washington. Coated breeds (doodles, Shih Tzus, Maltese, Poodles) need a professional every six to eight weeks or the coat mats to the skin; short-coated dogs mostly need nails, ears and a bath you can do at home.

Washington has real winters: below about 20°F short-coated and small dogs need a coat and shorter walks, and road salt should be rinsed off paws. Summer afternoons still get hot enough to watch the pavement.

Before you go

  • Ask how they handle a nervous dog and whether they use cage dryers; a good groomer will tell you plainly.
  • A full groom for a small dog runs about $50–$90 in most US cities, a large doodle $100–$180; a nail trim alone $15–$25.
  • Say exactly what you want in length and ears; 'short' means different things to different groomers.

What works

  • Brush between visits; a groomer cannot save a matted coat without shaving it.
  • Start puppies early with a short, easy visit so the table is not frightening later.
  • Book the next visit when you leave; good groomers are booked weeks out.
  • Check the paws and ears when you get home; redness within a day is worth a call.
  • Cats are groomed too, but by fewer shops; ask before booking.
