Groomers in Bristol, RI

Bristol has four grooming salons, the 2nd largest choice in Bristol County, just behind Warren with 5. 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. Three list a website; the other is reached by phone.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is Warren, about 2 miles away, with 5 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.
