Groomers in Maitland, FL

Maitland has five grooming salons, the 6th largest choice in Orange County, where Orlando accounts for 81 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 Winter Park, about 3 miles away, with 14 salons. Worth the drive for a first appointment with a difficult coat, less so for a routine tidy up every six weeks.

The heat breaks late here and the second coat change comes with it. This is the easiest time of year to get an appointment before the holiday rush, and a good moment to catch up if the coat has been neglected.
