Groomers in Ocracoke, NC

Ocracoke has one grooming salon, more than anywhere else in Hyde County. Book further ahead than feels necessary. A full groom takes two to three hours, so a single groomer gets through very few dogs in a day and the diary fills weeks out, particularly before a holiday.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is Beaufort, about 46 miles away, with 2 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.
