Groomers in San Juan, TX

San Juan has five grooming salons, the 5th largest choice in Hidalgo County, where McAllen accounts for 23 on its own. 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. One lists a website; the rest are reached by phone.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is McAllen, about 5 miles away, with 23 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.
