Groomers in Cary, IL

Cary has five grooming salons, the 4th largest choice in McHenry County, just behind Crystal Lake with 6. 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. Four list a website; the other is reached by phone.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is Crystal Lake, about 3 miles away, with 6 salons. Worth the drive for a first appointment with a difficult coat, less so for a routine tidy up every six weeks.

The most comfortable grooming weather of the year and the best time to get a neglected coat back under control before winter closes in. Coats thicken from now on and everything gets harder.
