UrbanWagz is a downtown Tampa gem! We’re there weekly and they always exceed expectations in every way. A breeze to make appointments and the owner, Ashley, is so kind and wonderful. Ollie always leaves happy and looks/smells amazing. Thank you!!
We absolutely love every single groom that we get for our beloved maltipoo , Graham! She does a great teddy bear cut, and it is always so consistent. Amy, the groomer is so kind and reassuring of all of our concerns. Out of all of the groomers we have had in the past living in Tampa, she is our favorite. If I could rank this higher than five stars, I would. Been going for about a year now and will continue to do so! Absolutely recommend!
UrbanWagz had my old sweet girl looking absolutely perfect after her appointment 😍 We even purchased a toy at pick up 💕 Everything was a breeze from booking to pick up. It’s been a very long time since she’s been professionally groomed but we will be back soon for sure! Thank you for taking care of my anxious Ryder! Her cut is perfect and exactly how I like it 😍
NEW NAME - SAME GREAT SERVICE!!! Amy and the team at Urbanwagz are hands down the BEST groomers in Tampa! Great work, communication, and the pricing is very reasonable. They even text to make sure they are doing exactly what you’ve requested for your fur baby. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Audacity loves his new cut! He started with a ponytail and still looks great after he paws it out 💛
I recently took my eight-month-old mini poodle to an amazing groomer. Their customer service and care were excellent. I’ll be returning monthly and highly recommend them to friends and family. I chose them for their high-quality, positive energy, and LGBTQ+ friendly environment. Five stars.
UrbanWagz is hands down the best groomer! Ashleigh and Amy are extremely professional, kind, and talented. They are attentive to detail and will groom your pet exactly as you request. The pricing is very reasonable and they take such wonderful care of our pup, Mia. She comes home smelling so great and always has a huge smile on her face after! We would not trust anyone else with our girl and those we have recommended UrbanWagz to have been equally as impressed as we have! Book your appointment today -- you will not be disappointed!
The best grooming experience near Downtown Tampa 🤍 My dogs are always treated with love and gentleness. They always smell super delicious after their grooming and their cut is simply spectacular! I don't switch UrbanWagz for my dogs for anything. Thank you for making my dogs' experience a more pleasant and special one 🐶🐾 Poli & Tiger
The absolute best at grooming my fur baby. My Shih Tzu is a big baby and always comes out looking amazing and super happy. Service is quick so you aren’t waiting for a call all day. They also sent me a super cute Holiday pic this time and a report card for his visit.
We had a wonderful first experience at UrbanWagz! We are very thrilled with CeCe’s cut and how professional the staff is. We will definitely be using them as our downtown Tampa groomer!
Ashley is super nice and took great care of our boy. He’s looking and smelling clean days after his bath 🧼

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.
