Groomers in Landing, NJ

Landing has one grooming salon. 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. It is a mobile service, so the groom happens at your door rather than at a shop. That suits a dog that travels badly and it usually means booking a slot rather than dropping in.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is Mount Arlington, about 2 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.

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.
