Pet Grooming in Billings

Billings's groomers range from neighborhood salons and pet-store grooming counters to mobile vans that work from your driveway. A full groom usually covers a bath, haircut, nail trim and ear cleaning; most groomers also offer bath-only visits, de-shedding and quick tidy-ups between full grooms.

Experience matters

Ask how long the groomer has worked, where they trained and whether they groom your breed often. Before the first visit:

• Tell the groomer about your dog's health, age and temperament.
• Ask how dogs are dried; if a cage dryer is used, someone should check the dog often.
• Ask which vaccines they require, and reschedule if your dog is coughing.
• If the coat is badly matted, ask about a short clip rather than hours of brushing out.

Your dog's license

The City of Billings says city ordinance requires all dogs and cats to be licensed. Registration is due within 30 days after the pet becomes three months old, or when an older pet is brought into a home in the city, and proof of rabies vaccination is required. Groomers will also ask for proof of rabies vaccination.

Warm weather and winter cold

On a warm, sunny day the temperature inside a vehicle can climb well above 100 degrees in a few minutes, and Billings Animal Control removes animals from vehicles and issues cruelty citations, so leave your dog at home when you run errands. Book early-morning appointments in summer, and for double-coated breeds such as huskies and shepherds, ask for a de-shed rather than a shave: the undercoat protects them from heat and sunburn. In winter, wipe your dog's paws after walks on salted sidewalks and ask your groomer to keep the fur between the pads trimmed.
