Groomers in Taos, NM

Taos has three grooming salons, more than anywhere else in Taos County. That is a small enough choice that it is worth ringing round before you settle. Ask specifically whether they take cats and whether they will handle a coat that has already matted, because those two answers vary more between salons than anything else. Two list a website; the other is reached by phone.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is Santa Fe, about 55 miles away, with 17 salons. Worth the drive for a first appointment with a difficult coat, less so for a routine tidy up every six weeks.

The dry air that made summer bearable is hard on skin. Coats look dusty and dull, static builds in longer coats, and brushing a dry coat without a light conditioning spray breaks the hair rather than freeing it.
