Bonnie and Michael are awesome! They are gentle with our pets and treat each one very special. They remember every small detail requested and my dog is always so proud and happy to show off after her grooming. My dog is extremely nervous; especially around other people. Bonnie and Michael have been the only groomers she feels safe with, and I am so grateful to them for treating her so well. Great, friendly, professional, and punctual duo!!
Bonnie and Mike did such a fantastic job of handling and grooming my three rescue kitties this morning, especially our Hamlet, Siamese Lynx point/Main-coon mix who got a lion cut. I was amazed at how quickly and efficiently they handled my kitties with no stress. I recommend them highly and will definitely use them again and send them referrals. Thanks so much to you both. Gratefully, R Vivian
Bonnie and Michael are excellent. Besides being very nice people, they are always on time, very fairly priced and do an amazing job for our cat. Can't recommend them enough
My husband and I love Salty Dog & Cool Cat. We have 2 long haired cats that we get bathed and lion cuts regularly. Bonnie and her husband are extremely friendly and they always do an amazing job with our cats. Amazing service. Would highly recommend!
I've been a faithful and gratified customer for over 15 years, since their brick and mortar store in West Hollywood. Bonnie and Mac are gentle and pleasant but I return for their expertise and convenience along with the great value I get as compared to other groomers. I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone and look forward to many more years of business with these outstanding groomers...keep up the fantastic work guys!
I am so thankful to these experienced professionals. They have been shaving my cat for about a year. On our last visit, Cool Cat noticed that my cats skin was dehydrated and brought it to my attention. I made a vet appointment and found out that she had a UTI infection. As a senior cat, left untreated, she could have had kidney failure. My hats off to Cool Cat!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
Satly Dog and Cool Cat are awesome! They came to our office, were super punctual, and did a lovely job! Our office cat has never smelled or looked better! We will absolutely continue to use this company!
They did an amazing job trimming and getting all the knots out of my long hair Persian. Also gave him an adorable lion trim. Would definitely use again!

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.
