Reviews
Overall, customers express high satisfaction with the grooming services provided by Shear Pets, particularly praising Artana's exceptional talent and ability to handle cats with care and kindness. Reviewers frequently highlight the efficiency and convenience of the mobile service, along with the effective online scheduling options that cater to specific grooming needs. Many customers commend Artana for not only delivering beautiful grooming results but also for her attentiveness to the pets' health, noting instances where she identified issues like dental problems. However, one review stands out negatively, detailing a poor experience with perceived judgment and mistreatment, which contrasts sharply with the overwhelmingly positive feedback from other clients.
Artana is so talented at grooming with one hand (while holding our cat in another). She works fast and safely too, which is the most important part. Looking forward to our Persians next lion cut!
Amazing service! My long haired Siberian Forest cat always comes back home tangle-free and happy. I can’t say enough good things about Artana and the service Shear Pets provides. It has easy online scheduling (you can choose ala carte items such as conditioner or a specific type of cut, etc) and communication is great if I have any questions. Finally, the pricing is the same as if I had to drag my poor boy out in a carrier and into a groomer, where he would meow and kvetch the whole time! Using Shear Pets is a no-brainer; you won’t be sorry.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I’ve used Shear Pets services multiple times and am so appreciative of Artana. She does a great job and my cat Girlfriend always comes back happy. I would highly recommend Shear Pets!
I've taken my furball, Roman, to Artana 4 or 5 times now. It's always quick, and Roman always comes out looking A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E and smelling like peaches, with a cute little bow (that he hates and I always request) in his hair.
Handles our scared kitties with kindness. Shows up promptly and finishes quickly. Artana has made what used to be a time consuming chore with other groomers into a much more convenient process.
Outstanding service. Artana is gifted. Not only is her talent as a groomer exceptional, she cares for the animals and looks at the pet overall. Artana noticed my cat had a broken tooth, which I'd not seen - when I went to the vet my vet said you have an excellent groomer if the groomer noticed the cat had a broken tooth. My little boy always looks so handsome after a visit with Artana at Shear Pets.
I was super nervous about finding the right groomer and the right calm environment for my cat. Shear pets is fantastic, they’re so knowledgeable about handling cats. They’ve given me so many great grooming tips for my Persian. And it’s even greater they are mobile - so convenient.
Professional service. My cat was treated with care from the moment I placed him in a carrier and handed him over for a lion trim. He enjoys his new haircut and we will definitely both be back! Thank you for making this a very seamless experience.
Ive used Shearpets for more than five years and trust her totally with my cats. She told me my one cat needed dental work and sure enough he needed dental surgery. It’s comforting knowing she’s knowledgeable and will tell me if she sees something that needs to be taken care of. I recommend her without reservation.
Brought our toy poodle, Poppy to get groomed. We are loving dog owners but by no stretch are we perfect, nor is Poppy. She had a few tangles and apparently she nipped the groomer when she was put in an uncomfortable position. Pretty understandable when a stranger is poking, prodding and pulling your hair. I'd probably bite too. Often, groomers put muzzles on dogs unless they're relatively docile. Anyways, when I came to pick Poppy up, the groomer openly criticized Poppy and made me feel like a horrible dog owner. She even insinuated that her crate was covered in urine from Poppy being locked inside of it for too long, which is ridiculous and hurtful. To ice the cake, when my wife tried to make an appointment many months later, she found that she was locked out of their system. After calling, she discovered that Poppy had been "banned" for life. This is honestly the worst experience we've ever had with a groomer and Poppy has been groomed by dozens of people over her 9.5 years. Not recommended unless you want to feel judged and then get banned without notice or valid reason.

Call to BookFrequently Asked Questions About Cat Grooming
What should I expect during a professional cat grooming session?
A typical professional cat grooming session usually begins with a consultation to discuss your cat's needs. The groomer will then examine your cat's coat and skin condition before proceeding with services like brushing to remove loose fur, bathing with cat-specific shampoo, blow-drying, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and any specialized haircuts if needed. Most sessions take between 1-2 hours depending on your cat's coat condition and temperament.
How should I prepare my cat for a grooming appointment?
To prepare your cat for grooming, brush them at home a few days before to remove loose fur and minor tangles. Keep your cat in a secure carrier for transportation. Arrive a few minutes early to complete paperwork and allow your cat time to adjust to the new environment. Bring information about your cat's health, temperament, and any areas they're sensitive about. For anxious cats, consider withholding food for 2-3 hours before the appointment to reduce the risk of stress-related nausea.
Why is professional cat grooming important?
Professional cat grooming is important for several reasons: it reduces shedding and hairballs, prevents painful matting, allows early detection of skin issues or parasites, keeps your cat's coat healthy and shiny, reduces dander (helpful for allergy sufferers), and maintains proper hygiene. Professional groomers have specialized tools, products, and techniques to safely handle cats, even those with behavioral challenges. Regular grooming also helps cats become more comfortable with handling, which is beneficial for veterinary visits.
How often should my cat be professionally groomed?
The frequency of professional grooming depends on your cat's coat type, length, and lifestyle. Long-haired breeds like Persians typically need grooming every 4-6 weeks to prevent matting. Medium-haired cats may need grooming every 6-8 weeks, while short-haired cats might only need professional attention every 8-12 weeks or during seasonal shedding periods. Cats with special conditions like obesity or arthritis that prevent self-grooming may need more frequent appointments. Your groomer can recommend an appropriate schedule based on your cat's specific needs.
What's the difference between cat and dog grooming?
Cat grooming differs significantly from dog grooming. Cats have more sensitive skin, requiring gentler handling and cat-specific products. Their grooming sessions are typically shorter to minimize stress. Cats often need specialized restraint techniques and quieter environments. Cat groomers use different tools designed for feline coats and are trained to recognize signs of stress unique to cats. Cat-only grooming facilities eliminate the anxiety many cats experience around dogs, creating a more comfortable experience for your feline friend.
