Groomers in Waller, TX

Waller has three grooming salons, the 15th largest choice in Harris County, where Houston accounts for 179 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. None of them list a website, so this is a phone call rather than an online booking, which is normal for the trade and no reflection on the work.

If nothing here suits, the nearest larger choice is Cypress, about 16 miles away, with 19 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.
