Groomers in Santa Barbara, CA

Santa Barbara has eight grooming salons, more than anywhere else in Santa Barbara County. That is enough to choose on something other than availability. Ask who is set up for your dog's coat: a salon that hand strips terriers and one that mostly does doodle trims are doing different jobs with different equipment. Six list a website; the rest are reached by phone.

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.
