Pet Grooming in North Richland Hills

North Richland Hills'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.

Your dog's registration

North Richland Hills runs its own Animal Services division, which operates the city's Animal Adoption & Rescue Center at 7301 Iron Horse Blvd. The city's animal ordinances page says it no longer requires pet owners to get an annual city pet license, and that it is updating its code of ordinances to reflect the change. Rabies vaccination still applies: Texas law (Health and Safety Code 826.021) requires a dog to be vaccinated by four months of age and at regular intervals after that. Groomers will ask for proof of rabies vaccination too.

Hot Texas summers

North Richland Hills summers are long and hot. Book summer grooming early in the day, make sure thick coats are dried fully (damp fur can lead to hot spots and skin infections), and never leave a dog in a parked car. 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.
