Groomers in Mary Esther, FL

Mary Esther 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. It is a mobile service, so the groom happens at your door rather than at a shop. That suits a dog that travels badly and it usually means booking a slot rather than dropping in.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is Fort Walton Beach, about 2 miles away, with 9 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.
