Groomers in Monument, CO

Monument has five grooming salons, the 3rd largest choice in El Paso County, where Colorado Springs accounts for 88 on its own. 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. All of them list a website as well as a phone number.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is Colorado Springs, about 16 miles away, with 88 salons. Worth the drive for a first appointment with a difficult coat, less so for a routine tidy up every six weeks.

Coats thicken quickly once the nights turn. Get the summer coat fully out before the winter one comes in, because trapped old undercoat under new growth is the single most common cause of a spring shave down.
