Pet Grooming in Simi Valley

Simi Valley'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

Ventura County Animal Services issues dog licenses for Simi Valley. Its DocuPet licensing page lists Simi Valley among the communities it is contracted to license, says pet licenses are required for all dogs living in Simi Valley, and says licenses are required for all dogs over 4 months of age. The county's Simi Valley Animal Shelter is on West Los Angeles Avenue. Groomers will ask for rabies proof too.

Summer heat

The Humane Society of Ventura County notes that July temperatures can easily reach the triple digits and that pavement and concrete can reach over 130 degrees, so keep dogs off hot ground and give them shade and fresh water. The society wrote this in 2019, but the advice has not changed. Fireworks send many dogs running, so make sure your dog wears a collar with an ID tag and is microchipped. 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.
