Pet Grooming in Santa Rosa

Santa Rosa's groomers range from neighborhood salons and pet-store grooming counters to mobile vans that come to your door. 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.

Your dog's license

Sonoma County Animal Services issues dog licenses for the City of Santa Rosa. Its Santa Rosa licensing page says pet licenses are required for all dogs living in the city and must be renewed before the license expires, and the county's license and microchip page lists Santa Rosa among the cities where you license through DocuPet, by phone or in person at 1247 Century Court. The county says licensing is required for dogs 4 months and older.

Wildfire season and pets

In a July 2026 KRCB interview, Sonoma County Animal Services Director Brian Whipple said the county always sets up a pet-friendly shelter first in an evacuation, because people will not leave if they cannot take their pets. His advice: have vaccination records, medications and collapsible bowls ready, get dogs and cats used to a crate, evacuate early, and microchip your pets. For double-coated breeds such as huskies and shepherds, ask for a de-shed rather than a shave.

Before the first appointment

• 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.
• Ask how long the groomer has worked and whether they groom your breed often.
