Groomers in Redwood Valley, CA

Redwood Valley has one grooming salon. Book further ahead than feels necessary. A full groom takes two to three hours, so a single groomer gets through very few dogs in a day and the diary fills weeks out, particularly before a holiday.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is Ukiah, about 7 miles away, with 5 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.
