Extremely DISSAPOINTED and DISSATISFIED!! I have been a client for many many years untill Today! Prices have increased tremendously for the POOR quality of work received ; they had forgotten to cut 1 nail several times and staff is NOT the same (caring, welcoming, listening to your needs!). I was in shock when I picked up my poodle to see her overall hair cut. NEVER AGAIN WILL GO BACK to use their services NOR RECOMMEND THIS BUSINESS! Thank you! as a business owner and/or business interest it is very understandably your response. The lady who came out of the back and was going to groom my pet did not recalled working in her previously she said. In any event, Bella’s today’s grooming complements are at her lowest vs. previous ones. See pic of her shaved legs, unbelievable!!!
I’ve been bringing my dogs here since I moved to the area. Both dogs are very shy and nervous, yet from the moment they walk in, they love being here and are very happy. All the staff are wonderful, receptive to comments and requests and make sure you are happy with how your dog looks. Whether it’s for a bath or grooming, they are amazing. Thank you!
I’ve been grooming my dog, Zoe, since she was a puppy with Lourdes and she has always done a great job. My baby gets lots of compliments. The other staff is wonderful as well! Highly recommend!❤️🐾🦴
We love this place excellent customer service they treat your pets like royalty 🥰
I’ve been taking my boys Jack and Finn to Pepe Le Pooche for almost 9 years. Francie and the folks there have always taken care of them and we always leave happy! Sometime they don’t even want to come home!

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.
