Groomers in Antelope, CA

Antelope has two grooming salons. That is a small enough choice that it is worth ringing round before you settle. Ask specifically whether they take cats and whether they will handle a coat that has already matted, because those two answers vary more between salons than anything else.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is North Highlands, about 2 miles away, with 4 salons. Worth the drive for a first appointment with a difficult coat, less so for a routine tidy up every six weeks.

The rain returns and coats stop drying properly between walks. This is the point in the year to decide whether you are keeping a full coat through winter or taking it shorter, because switching halfway is what produces a matted dog in January.
