Pet Grooming in Klamath Falls

Klamath Falls'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. Ask to see where dogs are bathed, dried and kept while they wait. 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

Klamath County requires a dog license. Klamath County Animal Control says every person owning or keeping a dog in the county must buy one when the dog is six months old or has its permanent canine teeth, whichever comes first, within 30 days of becoming its owner or keeper, and within 30 days of a new one-year rabies vaccination. You can buy or renew online or use the drop box at 4250 Washburn Way. Groomers will also ask for proof of rabies vaccination.

Cold winters and hot summers

Klamath Falls has a high-desert climate, so expect cold, snowy winters and warm, dry summers. After winter walks, wipe your dog's paws and ask your groomer to keep the fur between the pads trimmed so ice and grit 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.

In January 2024 the Oregon Department of Agriculture told its Board of Agriculture that it had been investigating an atypical respiratory disease in Oregon dogs since the previous August, with over 200 case reports from veterinarians and no known cause. Cases have since eased, but the lesson holds: keep vaccines current, ask a groomer how it separates a coughing dog, and keep your own dog home if it is coughing.
