Great Grooming + Trusting Relationships = HAPPY PETS!

Positive Grooming Experience

Grooming can be stressful for some pets. City Dogs works hard to do everything possible to create a happy experience during their visit. We get to know your pet personally and customize our service to their individual needs. This is part of the reason a regular grooming schedule at the same salon is so important.

Giving back to the Community

City Dogs donates to many local non-profits and animal rescue groups. We offer discounted grooming rates to rescue dogs fostered through The Alternative Humane Society of Whatcom County and Happy Tails, Happy Homes. We encourage anyone wanting to add a dog to their family to research adoptable dogs fostered by these amazing local organizations!
