Reviews
Overall, customers express high satisfaction with the grooming services at Petsburgh, highlighting the staff's patience, kindness, and attentiveness to pets' needs. Many reviewers praise the accommodating nature of the team, the quality of grooming, and the reasonable pricing. Positive experiences include excellent care for difficult pets and a commitment to ensuring pets feel comfortable and look great post-grooming. However, a couple of negative reviews highlight severe dissatisfaction, with complaints about cuts leading to injury and unprofessional handling of these situations, indicating that while many customers love this service, some have encountered significant issues.
I have been taking my Golden, Jaxson here for the last 3-4 years now. The last groomers we used decided to close, so we followed the groomer Lucia here. I have no complaints what so ever. His skin is temperamental, so I supply my soap. They have great specials with scents and teeth brushing. You really can't beat their prices, too.
Brent and his team do an amazing job! My Luna is incredibly difficult when getting her nails trimmed and they were so calm and patient with her and got the job done. I live about 40 minutes away but will always make the drive from now on!
Just got a new puppy for Christmas & wanted to take her to her 1st appointment. They were super accommodating and I can tell they put a lot of care into her haircut. I will definitely be coming back!
Completely butchered our dogs to the point that we had to go to the vet. I would never bring my dogs back here again. Additionally, one of our dogs nail was bleeding the whole way home in the car. Even if they were matted, you don’t cut that close to the skin. Completely unacceptable to put our dogs through that pain.
Petsburgh always does an amazing job with our Aussie/Pyr mix! He is a rescue and requires some extra patience (very shy and doesn't like his back end being touched), but they are so kind and understanding with him! They clean up his double coat to make him more comfortable and give him a nice shape. He always looks so beautiful and smells great when he's done! I highly recommend Petsburgh and their wonderful groomers.
Super nice people. Very accommodating with time. My pup always come out fresh. Also if you only need nail clipping it take like 10 minutes. Also love the festive a bandanas.
Our long haired boy was in need of a shave in order to beat the summer heat so we brought him to the shop and decided this young boy needed a lion cut....how appropriate! Not to mention how handsome he turned out. What a wonderful job they did with him and for his first time getting groomed apparently he didn't do too bad. We would recommend this place to anybody and we will be making an appt for our other cat. Wonderful customer service and wonderful grooming!
BEST groom Ollie has had in a long time! I've struggled to find a groomer I like in Pittsburgh, but THIS is the place! They were patient, kind, and did a wonderfully perfect job with this crazy pup. Communication is easy through call or text and grooming was very fast. Normally I have to plan my morning for a 4-6 hour grooming day, but he was in and out in 2.5 hours. Very affordable as well for the great job they did all around. Thank you so much to the entire team!
I recently took in two neglected dogs with overgrown nails. I sent them a text this morning and they were able to take me asap. The photo attached is before I came in when I left the nails were very short with no bleeding! Everyone that worked there was very very nice as well!
We had been a regular customer prior to their brief closure in April 2016. We were always satisfied and enjoyed our experience with them. Everyone was always so friendly, reasonably priced, close to home and it was easy to get an appointment. We had heard they reopened and decided to go back. We were disappointed that the groomer we previously saw was no longer with them, so we started seeing their most experienced groomer on staff. Most recently, that groomer called off, so we were rescheduled to a different day and unknowingly to us, a different groomer. Unfortunately, we had a really bad experience during our last appointment and will not be returning. My dog required emergency medical attention after her grooming appointment. She needed treatment for a laceration that resembled a wound commonly caused by clippers. The business owner has denied responsibility. I am extremely disappointed in how they have chosen to handle the situation. I feel that their response has been inappropriate, unprofessional and insensitive.

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.
