Groomers in Tijeras, NM

Tijeras has two grooming salons. 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.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is Albuquerque, about 19 miles away, with 77 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.
