Groomers in New Ulm, MN

New Ulm has five grooming salons, more than anywhere else in Brown County. 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 Mankato, about 26 miles away, with 10 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.
