Have been to Ollu three times now (intro puppy appointment and two full grooming appointments) and have been very satisfied each time. Becky does a great job hand stripping my Westie! Madigan looks so great each time I pick her up.
This was our first visit with our 1 1/2 yo Bernese. Friendly staff, great service and communication. Our boy looked amazing and handsome after his bath, brush and dry, paw and backside trim, and he smelled so good. 100% recommend!!
Our baby IvyBean received her first puppy wash and grooming today.❤️ Let me tell you, she was completely loving all the attention she received. She even gained a nickname "Ms. Hollywood". She looks like a completely different beautiful puppy. Isabella from Ollu Dog Wash and Grooming Salon did an amazing job! Thanks, Isabella! We will see you for the next appointment! We absolutely love how adorable she looks. We can see her eyes a lot better now, and they are so dreamy! I definitely recommend this business for your fur baby grooming needs. 🥰😇🐶
My dog has not done well at grooming in the past. At Ollu we had a wonderful experience! She is fresh and clean and it didn't take long at all. Alissa said she was a good girl and would love to have her again!
Brought my 4month old toy poodle pup for her first grooming session to Ollu. They did a great job, and in an hour my pup looks gorgeous.
Fast, friendly staff. Base-level products were wonderful, may upgrade next time just for fun. The self-service washtubs have GREAT water pressure and long hoses, plus they gave us doggie earmuffs to drown out the powerful blow-dryers for afterward. I will likely return the next time my dogs jump in a lake or roll in something miserable.
Maddie is the absolute best! She’s a dog lover and goes above and beyond to make sure your furry friend is well-groomed. It’s a fantastic place to bring your dog!
Great staff, Great service, we have a rescue dog that had been through alot. They treated her so well and was so gentle! Loved it.
They do a great job at Ollu. Both Gracie and I look forward to her grooming dates.
Best groomer I’ve visited so far with my puppy. Easy to get on the schedule. Hannah met with me before the cut to ask for my preferences, inspo pictures, and explained how the cut would be done. I appreciate that they take the time to do a full scissor cut instead of just shaving her. Hannah followed up right after the groom to tell me how Indy did, what she did and why, and asked if I had any questions. They helped me get booked for my next appointment right away. For reference, was about $100 before tip which I think is pretty typical, if not on the cheaper side for the service I got.

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.
