Reviews
Overall, customers express high satisfaction with the grooming services at Central Park Pet Spa, highlighting the quality of care and the friendly, patient staff. Many reviews praise individual groomers, especially Yasmine and Reda, for their empathetic and careful handling of pets, whether it's dogs or cats. The spa is noted for addressing the specific needs of animals, especially those that may be anxious, and for keeping owners updated with photos and videos during the grooming process. However, there is a significant negative review addressing a serious incident of alleged negligence that raises concerns about safety, contrasting sharply with the otherwise positive testimonials.
They did a wonderful job on our dog. She left happy, cute, and smelling good!! Everyone was friendly. Highly recommend!
We had been bringing our dog here for grooming services for 2 years and everything was great until our last visit. We noticed a very deep laceration under the neck of our pup 2 days after we left the groomers. As you can see from the photos it's pretty obvious that it was a clipper that did this, not to mention there was a bald spot of hair to go with it. Not only did the owners NOT mention it, and we had to confront them about it, but when we did they even tried to deny it and blame it on his collar which he's been wearing for over 5 years. We had to wait over 3 days for a refund and the owner never called to address the issue or apologize. They had an employee do their dirty work. At this point, we're convinced the animal abuse was done on purpose because our dog can honestly be a little difficult at times, but that's not an excuse to do what they did and then try to cover it up and blame us for it. Now, on top of all this our dog has severe anxiety and has been acting way out of character urinating and pooping in the apartment which he has NEVER done because he gets 3 walks a day and is a 9 year old potty trained adult. So to recap... They cut our dogs neck and made him bleed, tried to cover it up by not telling us, denied and then blamed us for it, refused a refund 3 times and the owner never addressed us or offered an apology. STAY FAR AWAY FOR YOUR PETS' SAFETY!!!
yasmine did a excellent job with Milo. very careful and empathetic. we will be coming back !!!
I bring my cat here regularly for his nail clipping / ear cleaning etc. Everyone there is extremely friendly and patient. My cat doesn't like getting his nails clipped and gets nervous but they are very good with him and get everything done quickly and efficiently.
Yasmine did a great job cutting my dog's nails!
My dog needed a good bath after a rainy day visiting NYC. Central Park Dog Spa was easy to book, fast, and they left her sparkling clean. She was happy when I picked her up and it was a nice surprise to see her nails trimmed. Thank you for looking so well after my pup ♥️
I always go to Central Park Pet Spa because I love the quality of their service. Every time they give me back my kitten she seems more and more beautiful and I feel calm when I leave her with them, because I trust them! They are always very professional and attentive to animal care. While I'm away, they always send me photos and videos of my cat while she is getting groomed. I like this because they keep me updated on how my cat is doing. Great place!!!
Reda is amazing at making pets and their owners feel at ease in what can be a stressful experience at other groomers, and the results are amazing! My cat is a Siberian and got extremely matted hair after a friend watched him while I was on vacation, and they were able to shave him evenly without any nicks, tears, or irritations. We’ve come back several times and look forward to returning for regular grooming like hygiene cuts and de-matting. We live uptown and go to midtown just to have Reda groom our cat because we know the service and results will be excellent.
Yasmine was amazing!!! She was so sweet to my kitten and was so helpful.
We loved our first visit to Central Park Pet Spa for a grooming! Our cutie doesn’t always love grooming and especially nail trims (due to previous negative experiences elsewhere!) but the team their took their time and were patient with him, resulting in a perfect grooming! Thank you for putting the “care” in pet care !

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.
