Reviews
Overall, customers expressed high levels of satisfaction with the grooming services provided at Kar's Royal Pet Grooming, frequently praising the staff for their patience, skill, and genuine care for the animals. Many reviewers noted that their dogs left looking and smelling great, demonstrating the groomers' attention to detail and expertise. While the majority of experiences were overwhelmingly positive, one customer reported dissatisfaction due to an uneven cut and a lack of effective communication about their dog's grooming challenges. However, the recurring theme is a strong recommendation for the grooming services, highlighting the welcoming environment and the quality of care provided to both dogs and their owners.
I recently had the pleasure of taking my dogs, Luna and Paulita, to Kar's for grooming, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! After three different places where Luna was sent back due to her behavior, we finally found a place that truly understands how to handle her. The team at Kar's was incredibly patient and skilled, managing to groom Luna beautifully. Their expertise and care made a world of difference. Both Luna and Paulita looked stunning after their grooming session. The excellent service we received was truly commendable, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Kar's to anyone looking for a top-notch grooming experience. They are 100% recommended!
My dog has no eyes. When I bring her to get groomed at Kar’s Royal Pet Grooming, I know she is safe and gets a great hair cut. When I pick her up she is always happy. I am very grateful!
I’ve got two big puppies that can be a handful but Kar was patient and thorough. They look and smell so good and had a great experience!!
My pup Astro loved his haircut! The best haircut my dog has gotten so far. The price was very reasonable. Appointment and payment are managed via a website which was very convenient. The only feedback I would give is to add a doorbell to avoid us having to call when we arrive. They sell wireless doorbells on Amazon for $30, that way you can place the button anywhere.
Took two of my fur babies to get groomed first time at Kar’s Royal Grooming and I was super happy. My babies look super cute and they did such a wonderful job! We will be back. Emilio and Malia say Thank you!
Our Rocky can be difficult to handle. They did a great job with him, and he was so happy when he left! He looks like such a distinguished gentleman! Rocky will definitely be a returning customer!
Such a sweet groomer. They treated my Siberian husky like it was their own pup. You can't find that level of patience and care easily so I would definitely recommend them.
I am a new dog mom and I have people who referred this place to me. I let the guy know this is Zen’s first time at the groomer. I took Zen in at 11:15 am and at 3:45 I was told he wasn’t letting them do his face. Again this is our first experience but I was positive that being a professional groomer the job should get done . My dog is 8 months old and poor thing couldn’t see with all his hair coming down his face. It was the most important part of his cut and it was not achievable. I understand some dogs just aren’t used to it (mine being his first ) or whatever, but to tell me I still had to pay full price and gave me my dog back with a crazy uneven cut to his face was not cool at all! Also his nails were cut but it was not buffed at all. It’s sharper now than what it usually is when it’s naturally long. The staff is nice but I wouldn’t go there again that’s for sure I want to include that my yes my son was asked to try and assist but again it’s not my son’s responsibility. Not professional in asking or telling me to maybe try and bring things to help calm my dog next time . There’s no miscommunication there just wasn’t any mentioned that this service may or may not be completed.
I am so glad I discovered Kara a couple of years ago. She is a true animal lover and it shows. My 13 year old Bichon Frise goes right to her without hesitation. She also employs the best groomers, they really pay attention to detail. It really shows each and every time I pick up my fur baby. I actually brought my new grandpuppy yesterday, for the most amazing grooming experience. She left looking like a real princess. Thank you Kara and team, you rock!
I took my Bella to be groomed! She came out looking and smelling good! The staff was friendly and Bella enjoyed her time spent there! What I appreciated most is that they had availability I didn't have to wait weeks to get her in. I will be back!

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.
