Pet Grooming in Casa Grande

Casa Grande'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.

Ask about experience

The Arizona Commerce Authority tells people starting a pet grooming business to contact the local county health or environmental services department about any permits it may require, so it is fair to ask a groomer what applies to them. Before the first visit, ask how long the groomer has worked, where they trained and whether they groom your breed often.

• 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

Inside Casa Grande, the city's own Animal Care and Adoption Center handles licensing: all dogs and cats kept in the city must be licensed with the City of Casa Grande if over four months of age, and you must present a rabies vaccination certificate signed by a veterinarian first. Licenses are sold at the Animal Care and Adoption Center on East First Avenue and can be bought online through DocuPet. If you live outside the city limits, check with Pinal County instead. Groomers will also ask for proof of rabies vaccination.

Summer heat

The city's animal care team says sidewalks can reach more than 150 degrees in summer and advises walking your dog in the early morning or later in the evening; it treats temperatures above 90 degrees as too hot for walking. It also says the temperature inside a car can reach 160 degrees on a warm day, and that a doghouse alone is not enough shade because the inside gets very hot. The city advises keeping senior, overweight and short-nosed dogs in air conditioning, as they are more sensitive to heat. Book early-morning grooming appointments, 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.
