Pet Grooming in Shelbyville

Shelbyville'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.

Ask about experience

Ask how long the groomer has worked, where they trained and whether they groom your breed often, and ask to see where dogs are bathed, dried and kept. Tell the groomer about your dog's health, age and temperament. 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 license and vaccines

We could not open an official Shelbyville or Shelby County page on dog licensing or rabies rules, so check with the city and the county animal shelter about what applies at your address. Groomers will ask for proof of rabies vaccination, so keep the certificate handy.

Summer heat and winter salt

Road salt and ice can irritate paw pads, so in winter wipe your dog's paws with a damp cloth after walks and ask your groomer to trim the hair between the pads. In summer, book early-morning appointments and never leave your dog in a parked car; for double-coated breeds such as huskies and shepherds, ask for a de-shed rather than a shave, because the undercoat protects them from heat and sunburn.
