Pet Grooming in Lake Havasu City

Lake Havasu City'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

Lake Havasu City has its own animal rules in Title 6 of the city code, enforced by the Police Department's Animal Control Unit, and the city sells dog licenses and renewals through an online payment portal linked from that page. The city says a strict licensing ordinance helps reunite lost pets with their owners. Outside the city limits, Mohave County says residents must vaccinate their dogs for rabies and license them; the county page covers the unincorporated areas, so check which applies to your address. Groomers will also ask for proof of rabies vaccination.

Hot weather

Summers on the lake are hot. Book early-morning grooming appointments, never leave your dog in a parked car, walk when the pavement has cooled, 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.
