Pet Grooming in Crossville

Crossville'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 more than paperwork

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 rabies vaccination

Tennessee's rabies law makes it unlawful to keep a dog six months or older that has not been vaccinated against rabies. Groomers, boarding kennels and day care centers will ask for proof of it. The Cumberland County Animal Shelter is a municipal shelter operated by the county in partnership with the City of Crossville; ask the city or the shelter about any local registration rules.

Summer heat and winter cold

Crossville summers are hot and humid, so book early-morning appointments, never leave your dog in a parked car, 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 or icy sidewalks and ask your groomer to keep the fur between the pads trimmed.
