Erika has been grooming our dog since he was a puppy, and she always does an amazing job. You can tell she cares so much about her clients and is an expert at what she does. Highly recommend bringing your pup here!
Erica is THE BEST. She takes great care of Pudu, our shih tzu. Takes diligent notes on his grooming history. Pudu always comes back looking and smelling amazing. He sports a summer look and a different winter look, thanks to Erica’s work. I feel more comfortable knowing that the pets are in separate crates, which isn’t the case in Lather for example. We couldn’t be happier.
I’ve been taking my older cat to All God’s Creatures to get his nails trimmed for 4 years. They are fast and friendly! We are only there for about 5 minutes! In and out. They’re so nice and they do a great job. I highly recommend. Call in advance for an appointment time.
I really appreciate the care they take with my baby. My dog always comes back looking and smelling beautiful. They follow my directions (and I am super picky). Best of all, they are very reasonably priced. 12/10 recommend.
My dog had been groomed at all gods creature since birth for six years. And she always came out like a show dog. Recently we moved to Boston and realize how good Erica was. This place was better than a 4.9 place in Boston.
I have been going to All God’s Creatures since my mini golden doodle Lexie was a puppy. She LOVES her groomer, Erica, who is just amazing with her; she gets excited to see her every time we get there😊 Erica does an amazing job - Lexie gets lots of compliments. Most importantly, she is so kind to her. I cannot think of a better place to go!
I can't say enough good things about this business. Been pleased from the first phone call. We rescued our twelve year old pup Charlie as an adult after his original (very bad) home life led to an extended stay in a shelter and eventually landed him in foster care. Understandably, he's always struggled being left with the groomer. When we moved to Pittsburgh this summer we knew Charlie would have to get used to a new groomer. He's now been to see Erika several times and I'm not lying when I tell you he may like her better than he likes us. No more panic behavior when I come to pick him up. It's like he's hanging with a buddy. And she's given him sharp-looking, season-appropriate cuts each time. These folks are reliable, responsive and the quality of the service is the best I've known. Thanks Kateri and Erika.
I tried to get my pitbull serviced, and I was told that they do not take large dogs. I’m confused because the name of this company is all God‘s creatures. This is not good for business.
I had a wonderful experience here with my cat who had some very bad matted fur on her back, poor thing. They were wonderfully caring and took great care of her. She was very happy after her hair cut and feels so much better. Thank you for your help, kind service, and a job well done!
I can’t recommend AGC enough! I went there on a recommendation from someone at a dog park, and I haven’t gone anywhere else since. I have a goldendoodle who gets matted really quickly and they always do a great job grooming him (and never judge me for being a bad dog mom, haha). The staff is knowledgeable and consistent, and the prices are more than fair.

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.
