Pet Grooming in Myrtle Beach

Myrtle Beach'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. After a beach day, a bath-only visit gets the sand and salt out of the coat.

Experience matters more than paperwork

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 shots and who to call

South Carolina law says a pet owner must have the pet inoculated against rabies, by a licensed veterinarian, and the metal tag must be on the pet's collar or harness at all times (S.C. Code 47-5-60). Groomers will ask for proof of that vaccination. The Myrtle Beach Police Department says its animal control officers are certified Class III police officers, and it sends questions about animal quarantines, rabies control and health concerns to the South Carolina Department of Public Health. Ask the city or Horry County which local pet rules apply at your address.

Rabies on the Grand Strand

In September 2025, a rabid raccoon was found in Little River; it was the third rabid animal in Horry County that year, after none in 2024 (WMBF). Keep your dog's rabies shot current, and tell your groomer if your dog has been in contact with wildlife.

Hurricane season

The state's hurricane guide advises keeping pets' vaccinations, especially rabies, up to date, and says counties may have temporary shelters for pets. Keep your dog's records and a current tag together in one place, and book grooming well before a storm threatens, not after.
