Groomers in Nottingham, MD

Nottingham has five grooming salons, the 4th largest choice in Baltimore County, just behind Reisterstown 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. All of them list a website as well as a phone number.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is Baltimore, about 8 miles away, with 32 salons. Worth the drive for a first appointment with a difficult coat, less so for a routine tidy up every six weeks.

The best grooming weather of the year and the second coat change. Burrs and seed heads in feathering after any walk in rough ground, and a good moment to catch up before winter.
