Choosing a groomer in Queens
Queens covers a lot of ground, and its groomers do too: neighborhood salons along the commercial strips, groomers inside pet stores, and mobile vans that come to houses and apartment buildings alike. A full groom usually covers a bath, haircut, nail trim and ear cleaning; most groomers also offer bath-only visits and de-shedding.
What New York City requires
Grooming businesses need a Small Animal Grooming Establishment Permit from the Health Department, and the city's Health Code sets rules every groomer must follow: no grooming for a fee in a home where someone lives, no cage or box dryers, and proof that each dog is vaccinated against rabies and against distemper, adenovirus, parainfluenza, parvovirus and Bordetella before it is groomed. Bring your dog's records to the first appointment, and it is fair to ask to see the salon's permit.
Leptospirosis
Leptospirosis, a bacterial disease that rats spread, is a real risk for city dogs. In 2024 the Health Department counted 33 cases citywide, 10 of them in Queens, and none of the dogs with a known vaccine history were currently vaccinated; 9 died. Ask your vet about the leptospirosis vaccine, which now counts as a core vaccine.
Rabies
In 2023, 12 animals in New York City tested positive for rabies, mostly raccoons, and Queens had 4 of them, according to the Health Department. Keep your dog's rabies vaccination current, and keep it away from wildlife.
Heat and cold
NYC Emergency Management advises never leaving a pet in a car, giving plenty of water and avoiding exercise on extremely hot days, and bringing pets inside in extreme cold. In winter, wipe your dog's paws after walks on salted sidewalks and ask the groomer to keep the fur between the pads trimmed.
Your dog's license
Every dog in New York City needs a license from the Health Department, with the tag on its collar in public. New York State requires a first rabies shot by four months of age.
