I’ve been taking my golden retriever to Kathie for a few years now every 6 weeks and I’m very happy with the results every time. I live an hour and a half away now in Columbus and I’ll be keeping our grooming routine! ❤️
Kathie is wonderful, and my sweet girl Cessa always looks great. I can tell she feels great too - she gets a little pep in her step after her day at the “spa.” As a registered veterinary nurse/tech, I am particular about who I trust with my fur-babies and I honestly can’t recommend them enough!
I recently took my fur baby, Sailor, to Mrs. Kathie's pet grooming services, and I couldn't be more delighted with the experience! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed into a warm, family-safe environment that instantly put me at ease. The staff made me feel like I was dropping Sailor off at a trusted daycare, ensuring her safety and comfort throughout the grooming process. Sailor was in need of a catch-up grooming, and the transformation was truly amazing! The before and after results were beyond my expectations, leaving Sailor looking and feeling fantastic. It's safe to say we've found our forever grooming family! What's even better is that the prices are incredibly budget-friendly, making it accessible for pet owners of all walks of life. A big thank you to Mrs. Kathie and her grooming team for their exceptional care and service! I highly recommend this grooming salon to anyone looking for top-notch care for their furry friends. Thank you Marquardt Family
I had so many groomers through the years and did my dogs myself so for years. I have very long haired dogs and she combs them out beautifully. I show my dogs at AKC dogs shows across the U.S. and have made all of them AKC Champions. Kathy grooms all my dogs for the shows magnificently. It is a lot of hard work and time to comb a very long haired dog completely out, no cutting allowed, and they always do it beautifully. She is the best Groomer I have ever taken my dogs too. Also, my dogs love her and she loves dogs, very gentle and takes her time. She is the only Groomer I would ever recommend. 😊
I have a Standard Poodle, Mr. Snazzy and have been using Kathies Pet grooming for a couple of years. I wait until Mr. Snazzy grows out before having him groomed and She does an excellent Job is very reasonably priced. My dog is very comfortable going to see Kathie for grooming and I have never been disappointed. I highly recommend Her Grooming service.
My Ruby girl came back to me just how I described I'd like for her to look! Kathie is a Super sweet lady!! She listened to my concerns and delivered a gorgeous pup !
Great groomer!! Very friendly and organized. Easy drop off in the morning and pick up in the evening. Always makes the doggies look super cute with a bow in their hair :)
My Wife and I have taken our cats to Kathie's for many years. Always happy with the results. She's the best.
Had a grooming scheduled. After driving 30min, I get there and they have a sign on the door that saying they’re closed because of a power outage. They couldn’t even do their clients the courtesy of a phone call… Oh, and this has happened before. Closed business and no phone call.
I’ve taken my dogs to Kathie for 25 years and have always been very pleased. Kathie, Tasha and the rest of the team do an incredible job and truly care about our pets.

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.
