Groomers in Wells, ME

Wells has seven grooming salons, the 2nd largest choice in York County, level with Saco. 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 rest are reached by phone.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is Portland, about 28 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.

Leaf litter, burrs and a thickening coat. This is when to decide what you are doing for winter, because a coat left to grow through the holidays without brushing is the January shave down every groomer sees.
