I’ve been going to Cloudberry for years now. They always do such a wonderful job and treat my pup so well! My pup 6lbs and has some joint issues and is relatively anxious. They are so good with him and so gentle. He is always excited to see them. I highly recommend Cloudberry for any dog! I also recommend them especially for anyone with a dog that may need a bit of extra love and care when it comes to knees/joints or some anxiety.

Me and my buns, Nova and Nimbus have loved our experience with cloudberry grooming! Laur is amazing! Really need to set up another appointment with her. My Nimbus is a Teddy Widder he needs a crazy amount of grooming and trimming. Laur does an amazing job each time! I know my buns are in great hands each time i take them ❤️.

Wholeheartedly recommend cloudberry. I have brought my Shih Tzu Albert to Cloud since they opened. Jules and Melissa are both fabulous and my Shih Tzu is so excited to go inside when we get there, which is amazing because he doesn’t like to get wet. It is a very low-stress environment for the animal as each groomer is only grooming one dog at a time, it’s quiet inside, and they are not in a cage. When it’s time to leave, I can’t get Albert out the door, he always wants one more treat. I never have to worry Albert if having a bad time, and they provide a fabulous groom.

I sing the praises of Cloudberry Pet Salon all the time! It is so special to find dog professionals that care about your dog’s well-being, let alone groomers that are go through specific training to reduce fear, anxiety, and stress throughout the grooming process. Cloudberry Pet Salon also does an incredible job with grooming — people have stopped me in the street to ask me where my dog gets groomed because he looks so good after a trip to Cloudberry. I so appreciate the recap on how my dog did during his appointment - they noticed my dog Jack specifically has some hesitation with grooming his front legs, and because they told me, I was able to work on desensitization at home to make future appointments less stressful for him. The space is amazing and colorful and bright and beautiful, and the rotating photoshoot options and stickers available are so much fun. You can feel how safe and happy Cloudberry Pet Salon is from the moment you walk in. Please take your pet here! You both deserve a less stressful grooming experience!

We LOVE Cloudberry Pet Salon! Our little dog Fred has been going to Jules since he was a puppy, was a dedicated Cloud Mobile Grooming client, and is now a Cloudberry boy! The whole staff is so kind and patient with the human owners (even the overly-anxious ones like me!) and they are fear-free certified, so I always know that Fred is going to be treated like gold - relaxed, happy, and comfy - while he’s there. He’s always just the happiest little guy and leaves looking AND feeling great - and that means I feel great, too. Just look at this handsome lil guy!

We love Jules! It's so convenient that the van can come to our place. I'm a total helicopter dog mom, and it is such a relief to know our dog is well cared for, all while getting a super cute cut.

Pretzel loves her new look! We had a fantastic experience at cloudberry and will definitely be coming back. They were accommodating to some last minute schedule changes and also sent update photos during the service. Happy to have found a groomer for my 15 year old gal as we are new to Seattle.

Melissa is a gem! We’ve trusted her with our little bear for the last year+ and receive endless compliments on the cuteness of her pup cut. Our pup appears happier with her new look too, and Melissa really shows her compassion and dedication during each session. She’s helped our pup get over the fear of nail trims. I 100% recommend their services and business practices.

Melissa is the very best! I’m fussy with my own hair and that of my mini goldendoodle! We’ve been with Melissa for well over a year now and her dedication, love and joy she has for her pup clients is off the charts! She is the kindest and most patient and always gets it just right! My pup gets individualized care for any anxieties with mom walking out the door and she gets breaks during her groom too. Not to mention treats, lickpads, water breaks and all the things! She is always SO happy when I pick her up and I just can’t say thank you enough. The drive from SeaTac is worth it and we are happy to pay any specialty prices for the TLC we get here!

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.
