Pet Grooming in Fort Worth

Fort Worth'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.

Heat and cold

In summer, Fort Worth Animal Care and Control advises keeping dogs off hot pavement and walking early or late in the day, so book grooming appointments in the morning. In winter, the city's cold-weather guide says to bring puppies and short-haired pets inside below 35 degrees and all pets below 20 degrees. After a winter groom, make sure your dog is fully dry before it goes outside.

For double-coated breeds such as huskies, shepherds and golden retrievers, ask for a de-shed rather than a shave: the undercoat protects them from summer heat as well as winter cold.

Questions to ask

Training and experience vary, so ask how long the groomer has worked, where they trained, and whether they groom your breed often. Tell them about your dog's health and temperament, ask how dogs are dried and how long yours will stay, and if the coat is badly matted, ask about a short clip rather than hours of brushing out.

Microchips and rabies

Since 2018, Fort Worth has required dogs and cats to have a registered microchip; a chipped pet needs no separate city license. Under the city's animal laws, dogs need a rabies shot by four months, a booster 12 months later, and then at least every three years. Groomers will ask for proof.
