Groomers in Sterling, IL

Sterling has three grooming salons, the 2nd largest choice in Whiteside County, just behind Fulton with 4. That is a small enough choice that it is worth ringing round before you settle. Ask specifically whether they take cats and whether they will handle a coat that has already matted, because those two answers vary more between salons than anything else. All of them list a website as well as a phone number.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is Dixon, about 13 miles away, with 4 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.
