Austin Groomer? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I need a groomer in the Austin area. I've googled online but not too many reviews were left.

I prefer south or central, not north, I'm never up that way!

Guinness thanks you

Hi,
Did anyone ever help you with this? I'm new to Austin & looking for a groomer for my yorkie, too. Also a vet? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Bev

I only know north, not south. I use Shelly at Diamonds in the Ruff on Parmer Lane. I know a good vet Dr. Anderson at Milwood Vet Clinic 12400 Amherst Dr. Again, it is way north

We like Jessica at the PetCo in Hancock Center (41st and Red River). I don't think that is too far north. She has been doing Scooter's hair since I got him and I will only go if she is there.

As far as vets, we like Brykerwood Vet Clinic. They are close to our house and they have saved Scooter from problems a few times.

Good luck!

I've started going to Paige at the Austin DogSpaw inside the Furr Factor (near Oltorf and 1st). I too live down south and all the downtown/central places were a little too north for a quick drop off.

Anywho, Paige has been awesome. I've taken Seleena there twice (once for a "trim," the other time for a bath) and she's acted better than she has at any of the big chain places. If you take your dog during the week, they have doggy daycare so the dogs that get groomed get to hang out with the other dogs while they wait for you to pick them up. I just took her for a bath on Saturday and she had free roam of the store after she was done (they gate off the entrances), and they even took her outside on a leash to walk around.

My boyfriend is one of those people who didn't understand why I was driving 7 miles away from my house to take her here when we have plenty of places within a mile from our house. When we went and picked her up and he saw how Seleena was acting and how they were with her, he actually told Paige and the owner that he was eating his words because there's a huge difference between DogSpaw/Furr Factor and chain stores. Plus, if you like to keep things local, this is a place to go.
