Groomers in Custer, SD

Custer has one grooming salon, more than anywhere else in Custer 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 Rapid City, about 29 miles away, with 16 salons. Worth the drive for a first appointment with a difficult coat, less so for a routine tidy up every six weeks.

A good stretch of weather and the second coat change. Burrs are at their worst now, and a matted patch behind the ear after a walk in long grass is a burr until proven otherwise.
