Groomers in Brooklyn Park, MN

Brooklyn Park has five grooming salons, the 7th largest choice in Hennepin County, where Minneapolis accounts for 34 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. Two list a website; the rest are reached by phone.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is Maple Grove, about 5 miles away, with 6 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.
