Groomers in Cleburne, TX

Cleburne has seven grooming salons, more than anywhere else in Johnson County. That is enough to choose on something other than availability. Ask who is set up for your dog's coat: a salon that hand strips terriers and one that mostly does doodle trims are doing different jobs with different equipment. Five list a website; the rest are reached by phone.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is Mansfield, about 21 miles away, with 11 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.
