Always a great experience! Staff is welcoming, detail-oriented and they take great care of our pup. We utilize the self-wash every weekend and take advantage of the monthly wash & dry that comes with the membership. The variety of grooming products, water pressure and dryer, ample supply of towels are greatly appreciated. Patty Cakes is a big fan! Convenient location and parking.

I have been here three times, and have been very pleased with the groom. One of my pups has short hair with an undercoat, and by looking you would never realize how much fur is lurking in there. Special shout out to Steven for his amazing de-shed service. Fully worth the extra charge if you are on the fence about it! He even sent a picture!

We moved to the heights about 2 years ago and needed to find a groomer because our previous groomer was too far. I came across Petbar heights and they’re great. Every single time we bring in Odie he looks and smells great. Karina is our favorite, she’s so so good with our Odie and makes him look superb. 10/10!!

Great, and will be back! Got a same day appointment when Fur Paws canceled our appt after my dog was already dropped off (!). We were really happy with the petbar haircut, reasonable price point, and convenient. 10/10 experience!

It was the first time since I’ve had Lucy and Karina did a great job. As the dog is a King Charles Cavalier I am still getting used to the best cut for her as we get acquainted! I will be happy to work with Karina and PetBar for the best cut for her. Lucy was happy and beautiful when I picked her up! A very good sign!

“I had an amazing experience with this dog grooming business! Their pricing system is super convenient, based on my dog’s weight, so I knew exactly what to expect. I was able to book an appointment the same day, and my Goldendoodle was ready within an hour looking perfectly groomed and happy! The staff is friendly and efficient, and it’s clear they care about the pets. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for reliable and affordable grooming!”

Petbar did a great job grooming my Shih Tzu. Instead of shaving him like most groomers do, they did a great job clipping him.

They accepted Hazel and I for a walk in nail trim! Hazel frequently needs a mussel getting her nails done in a new salon but they were so gentle she didn’t need one! Thanks guys she looks SO pretty!

First of all, over priced!! I was told on the phone that the trim would be $25 but we got charged $30. Second of all, my dog paw wasn’t even shaved! His eyes still dirty it looks like they didn’t even wash his face! I saw the review and wanted my dog to have a nice smell on our little trip but this place just ruined it for him. I asked my husband to go back in and ask them to shave his paws but he came back with “she didn’t asked me to shaved his paws only his butt” that’s crazy.

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.
