Groomers in Cleveland, TX

Cleveland has three grooming salons, more than anywhere else in Liberty County. 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. One lists a website; the rest are reached by phone. Two of them are mobile groomers who will come to you, which is worth knowing if your dog finds the car or a room full of other dogs difficult.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is Porter, about 19 miles away, with 4 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.
