How to Find Local Pet Groomers

Pet groomers can clean, come and cut your pet's hair to make them look their best. If you have never used a groomer before or have moved to a new area and aren't sure about the groomers in your town, you may need to locate several groomers to compare prices and services.

• Ask you local vet if they are familiar with any groomers in your area. Veterinarians often form relationships with dog groomers and will refer people to the best ones. You can also check the bulletin board in your vet's office to find business cards and flyers left by groomers. If there are other pet owners at the vet, talk to them about the groomers they hire to groom their pets.


• Look for listings in your local phone books. Pet groomers may be listed under 'Dog Groomers" or "Pet Groomers" you may also find them listed under "Pet Services." Contact each groomer for more information about the services they are able to provide for your pet.


• Talk with employees at your local pet store. Many pet stores have on site groomers, others offer bulletin boards where groomers can advertise with business cards and flyers. You can also talk to customers to see which groomers they take their pets to and which ones they suggest to avoid.


• Check your local newspaper for advertisements placed my groomers in your area. Many groomers will post their hours and contact information. Some groomers may even post coupons for first time customers. You can check for ads in the "Services" section or the page that displays all advertisements.
