Groomers in Mattoon, IL

Mattoon has five grooming salons, the 2nd largest choice in Coles County, where Charleston accounts for 9 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. Four list a website; the other is reached by phone.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is Charleston, about 10 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 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.
