San Marcos Dog & Cat Grooming

We cater to all pets; dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, ferrets and guinea pigs too. Size and temperament is never an issue for our professionals! If your pet has a special need please let us know so we can work with them usually after a few sessions your pet will feel more comfortable and relaxed during their grooming experience. We always look forward to giving your pet the best possible experience so handling charges are usually not necessary..

Hair Cuts

Unless you’re going to the show ring there is no specific clip for any breed. We can give one pet many different styles, check out the gallery for some ideas & always feel free to bring pictures or create your own style! When you & your pet arrive we will discuss the proper grooming needs for you & your pet.
The main concern when having your pet clipped is the coat type, there are 2 categories.

• HAIR-BEARING (Poodles, Shih Tzu, Maltese, Spaniels, Lhasa Apso, Terriers, Cats) can be shaved.
• FUR-BEARING (Collies, Huskies, Pomeranians, Chows, Retrievers) should not be shaved unless necessary. When a fur bearing dog is shaved you risk damaging the coat known as “Coat Funk”.

“Coat Funk” refers to a myriad of diseases such as The Black Skin Disease, Alopecia X, Sebaceous Adenitis, Post Shaving Alopecia, etc. The cause is unknown to medical researchers & not all fur bearers get “Coat Funk”, it really depends on the individual pet. In my experiences there is a 50-50 chance, 75% for huskies. It’s a higher risk the shorter and more often you shave. So once you are informed we leave the discussion to you. In some cases such as severe matting, shaving is the best option for your pet. Cats run $65 for a full body clip. Please call or text us a picture for a more accurate estimate.
