Good to know
A Citrus Heights grooming salon since 1958, under its current owner, a registered veterinary technician, since 2023. Pets get one-on-one attention with no double-booking, low-stress handling suited to anxious puppies and seniors, and a report card after every visit.

Between grooms
The basics for the weeks in between. Picked by PawsRx, not recommended by Poodle Nook.

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.
