Pet Grooming in Fargo

Fargo'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

We could not confirm any city or state license that a groomer needs in Fargo, so 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 Fargo says its ordinances require that all cats and dogs be licensed, even those that stay indoors, and that a license is bought for each calendar year. You need proof that your pet's rabies vaccination is current. You can buy a license online or in person at Fargo City Hall, and the city says both the license tag and the rabies tag should be worn at all times. Groomers will also ask for proof of rabies vaccination.

Winter salt and summer heat

North Dakota winters are long and cold, with ice and salted sidewalks. Wipe your dog's paws after walks, and ask your groomer to keep the fur between the pads trimmed so ice and salt do not build up. In summer, 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.
