I have been coming to Unleashed Spa for 6 years and it has been the best experience. Shannon has been grooming my dog Prince for 6 years every 6 to 7 weeks. She does a phenomenal job and handles him with Love and care. He adores and trusts her. We love unleashed spa 😍

10/10 Highly Recommend!!! Can’t share enough love for this place ❤️. I’ve been taking my Cavapoo, Obi, there for almost two years (since he was a young puppy) and he always leaves strutting his stuff. All of the groomers care and listen to your guidance, so you don’t need to worry if it’s your first time there. One time I had feedback (I know), and they are totally open to fixing or changing something if they can. They all are truly talented and it shows! We’ve gone to many of them, but I gotta shout out the best groomer I’ve ever had, Porschia (IG: @Porschia-cox) because she is just wonderful and always does a stellar job. The place is clean and they keep the animals happy; Obi literally pulls me in when he figures out where we’re going! Worth every penny - I mean just take a look at this guy and see for yourself! Note: I asked for a teddy bear cut, not a traditional Cavapoo look!

While somewhat nervously waiting for my dearest Billie to be made beautiful once again I watched in amazement as dogs happily entered the grooming parlor giving me a pause as this is highly unexpected and yet this is what I observed : one happy dog wagging its tail greeted friendly with staff to the next. The Entire team is wonderful and always always so fun to chat with…. Whatever magical dog fantasy land that is beyond the white curtain into the grooming station I will never know, but it must be magical. Adding Liza Minnelli here after Porschia made her even more stunning 💕💕💕

Finally got some good photos of my pups to post! I've previously given 5 stars on Yelp for Han's birthday grooms, this 5 is for his summer groom and some puppy nails. We've been seeing him at Unleashed for years and he always does exactly what I ask for, and my nervous little boy is happy at pickup. With it so hot I asked to go a lot shorter than usual but didn't want to lose Luca's mane or waterfall tail and Han blended it all together beautifully. (Note the patch on his front leg is from a dental surgery, not a grooming mistake!) He was also able to dremel my new puppy's nails effortlessly, after both I and his vet failed to clip them without puppy panic. Whenever someone asks me to recommend a groomer for nervous pups, I tell them to call Unleashed and ask for Han! Thank you!! (The new reception guy is also wonderful and charmed both my boys, sorry I didn't get your name!)

Took my mini goldendoodle and was extremely disappointed with the results. The the owner saw that I was upset and made the situation much better by offering to help out. She genuinely cared about my satisfaction. Tried a different groomer named Marco the second time and he did a great job! Great customer service!

We have been bringing our dogs for a long time to Unleashed. Always great and super friendly service and our dogs love their spa visit. Samantha takes care of our little poodle mix, and handles all our requests (special shampoo), and our little pup looks amazing every time. Highly recommended!

Marco did an absolutely amazing job grooming my Goldendoodle, Chloe! From the moment we walked in, Marco was so friendly and made both of us feel completely at ease. Chloe can be a bit nervous around new people, but Marco's gentle touch and calm demeanor won her over instantly. I've been taking Chloe to Marco for over a year now, and he always listens to everything I want for her grooming and nails it perfectly. Her coat looks fantastic, and she smells incredible! Marco even gives me great tips on how to keep her looking good between visits. What really impressed me was how happy and relaxed Chloe was during and after the grooming. It's clear that Marco genuinely cares about the pets he works with and wants them to have a positive experience. I can't recommend Marco enough if you're looking for a groomer who really goes the extra mile. Chloe and I will definitely keep coming back!

I’ve been coming here for the past 4 years and it’s the only place I trust to take good care of my Yorkie as they groom her. They do a fabulous job and are always so kind to me and towards my pup, and I’ve never had any issues. Great people and prices, I’m so thankful they’re in the neighborhood!

I’ve been taking my dog Kenzo to Unleashed Spa for almost two years, and I can’t recommend them enough! The staff is so friendly and clearly loves what they do. He always comes home looking adorable, feeling happy, and smelling amazing. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in great hands with people who genuinely care. If you’re looking for a grooming spot where your pup will be treated like family, this is it!

Frequently 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.
