Groomers in Hammond, IN

Hammond has four grooming salons, the 4th largest choice in Lake County, where Merrillville accounts for 7 on its own. 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. Three list a website; the other is reached by phone. One of them is a mobile groomer who will come to you, which is worth knowing if your dog finds the car or a room full of other dogs difficult.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is Merrillville, about 12 miles away, with 7 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.
