Pet Grooming in McKinney

McKinney'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.

City rules for your dog

The City of McKinney's Animal Services page says dogs and cats over 4 months old must have a current rabies vaccination and a valid rabies tag on the collar, and that no residence may have more than four dogs and four cats over 3 months old. Groomers will ask for proof of rabies vaccination. The city also suggests a microchip or identification tags to help return lost pets.

Heat and cold

North Texas summers are hot. Book summer grooming early in the day, and carry small dogs across hot parking lots. In a winter freeze, 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 heat and sunburn.
