Groomers in Smyrna, TN

Smyrna has four grooming salons, the 2nd largest choice in Rutherford County, where Murfreesboro accounts for 20 on its own. 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 rest are reached by phone.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is Murfreesboro, about 11 miles away, with 20 salons. Worth the drive for a first appointment with a difficult coat, less so for a routine tidy up every six weeks.

The best grooming weather of the year and the second coat change. Burrs and seed heads in feathering after any walk in rough ground, and a good moment to catch up before winter.
