Pet Grooming in Magnolia

Magnolia'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.

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. 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.

Rabies vaccination

Texas law requires rabies vaccination by four months of age, and groomers will ask for proof. Rules for registering or licensing dogs depend on whether your address is inside the City of Magnolia or in unincorporated Montgomery County, so check with the city or the county animal shelter for the current requirements and keep your dog's rabies certificate and microchip details up to date.

Heat, humidity and storms

East Texas summers are hot and humid. Book summer grooming early in the day, ask whether the salon is air-conditioned, and make sure thick coats are dried fully, because damp fur can lead to hot spots and skin infections. 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 heat and sunburn.
