Applehead City Pet does an amazing job with both of my doodles! They both love going and are not anxious when we drop them off. Their hair cuts always turn out exactly the way we want!

brought my pomeranian here today for the first time & was very happy with the experience! being cage-free makes such a difference. he used to be so stressed when i picked him up from his old groomer. but today when i went to get him, he was being held and pet in a chair (his favorite). i had specific instructions for how i wanted him groomed, and they were perfectly followed. will definitely be bringing him back.

Applehead City Pet provides the best grooming experience for our needs - high attention to detail, thoughtful staff, fast communication, and a clean/ safe environment. Chelsea was wonderful to work with and treated our dog like her own. Thanks again!

I have been coming to Applehead for four years. I couldn’t not recommend them more! They do such great cuts on doodles and you can tell their time to make sure they are beautiful. Also, I have such piece of mind knowing they are cage free and pay 1 on 1 attention to the dogs. The new owner has groomed my pup multiple times and I’m confident in her to continue this great shop. Pics to prove it all!

Applehead City Pet is the best! I’ve been taking my 8 month old cavapoo there for nearly 4 months and they’ve been so gentle and patient through the process of getting her used to grooming. Their friendly staff is responsive to my grooming requests and have provided me tips to maintain her grooming between sessions, along with tips on how to improve her comfort level with the grooming process. They do a fantastic job each appointment. I might be biased but she’s cuter than ever each time I pick her up. :) Also, the shop is really cute and located in a quaint and easily accessible area.

I have been taking my Cavapoo to Applehead city for about a year now and would never go anywhere else! They are so kind and do a great job every time. I love that they use non-toxic products and are crate free, I know Rosie is in good hands!

Our whole experience was excellent. Booking the appointment was really simple. They were ready as soon as we got there and took him right back. They let us know about 15 minutes before he would be finished and he was ready to go as soon as we got back. The little goodie bag after was so sweet. Really great service and everyone was wonderful!

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.
