They are looking so cute❤️🔥 Love the style! 10 out of 10 recommend! Is the best style my dogs got after grooming🤩🤩
I have been going to Coat Tails for over 10 years. Dawn and her staff are like family at this point! They are trustworthy, caring and very good at what they do. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else! I highly recommend her and her staff.
Savannah is a 10 month German shepherd. We had called earlier in the week to get her nails trimmed for the first time (but winded up not going this day, because something came up). They had asked if she was aggressive towards other dogs, if yes they’d make sure she was the only one in the salon. When asked if she would be muzzled, we were told no. When we called again on Friday, to see when we can come, they asked the same question, same response. We asked the same question, same response. When we arrived, before entering with her we asked if she would be muzzled and asked again when we went in, we were once again told no. (Two dogs left before we went in and two dogs were still in there). Sav was happy, wagging her tail, tried sniffing one of the dogs (right away we were told he was dog aggressive, to move Sav away). We explained in person and on the phone both times this was her first time getting her nails done, they put that short collar around her neck (while she was still on the ground) and Sav was starting to get scared, because it takes a bit for her to adjust to things around her neck. She tried backing away and figuring out how to get out, all while they’re trying to pull her towards the table (which got her more upset). We kept saying “she’s getting upset, we’ll just take her and do it another time.” To which they told us “she’s fine. She has to get used to it. You have to ignore her when she’s acting like this. We’ve been doing this for 30 yrs. You can wait outside, if this is going to upset you.” She finally gets on the table and hooked up, still bugging out (because again her first time and didn’t get used to something so short around her neck yet) and before even giving her time to adjust, cutting her nails down on the floor, or even attempting to sooth her, one worker claps her hands and says “that’s it, we’re muzzling her.” Keep in mind, she showed NO sign of aggression. In my head I just thought “how come the dog that’s aggressive to other dogs wasn’t muzzled or how come he didn’t need to be by himself when there were other dogs there, etc.” Anyways, Sav calmed down after the muzzle and they start cutting her nails. They clipped one or two nails short and she started to bleed, got all over her back paw. All they kept saying was “she’s fine, she’s fine. She didn’t feel it. It didn’t even phase her.” Sav was still so couldn’t have been from her moving. I just feel like her/our first experience should’ve been handled differently.
The woman who works there called me an a-hole for blocking her parking spot and cussed me out. Very unprofessional, I would NOT trust bringing my beloved animals anywhere NEAR someone as disrespectful or obviously very temperamental for the safety of my pets. Consider WHO would be taking care of your animals.. and I would find another place
Coat tails is amazing !!! My husky came back with the best groom since I moved up here! I am so happy I found this place. The owner was very sweet and informative. Love love love it !!

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.
