Good to know
Harlem Doggie Day Spa opened in 2010 as a grooming shop and later added daycare and cage-free boarding. Groomers do breed-specific cuts, and dogs with special needs, older dogs or dogs with an illness get extra time when the front desk knows ahead.
Grooming is by appointment, with walk-ins taken when there is room. A groom usually takes two to three hours. Matted dogs are shaved rather than brushed out, since brushing out mats hurts; a matting fee is extra.
One groomer does cats, on quieter days when fewer dogs are in. Puppies can start from eight weeks after their second round of shots, with a short first visit.
Rabies, distemper-parvo and Bordetella vaccines are required. Owners do not stay during the groom.

Between grooms
The basics for the weeks in between. Picked by PawsRx, not recommended by Harlem Doggie Day Spa.
Slicker brushes
Curly and doodle coats mat close to the skin. Groomers follow a slicker with a metal comb to check they reached the bottom.

Cat brushes
Long-haired cats mat first behind the ears, under the legs and on the belly. Short, frequent sessions tend to go better than one long one.
