Consistent. Compassionate. Expert Stylists.

Best Pet Grooming Bellingham

All breeds welcome! 

Caring, professional staff offers your dog the finest grooming experience with an individualized grooming appointment.

A consistent grooming schedule is easier for you… and better for your dog. Don’t wait for a bad hair day, a holiday, or special occasion to give your beloved pooch a “spa” day – mats become harder to untangle and nails become too long or ingrown. We may also find skin issues or lumps while grooming and we’ll let you know. Regular grooming means good hygiene, less shedding and a healthier, happier pup.

We have high standards

We offer a complete nose to tail experience that you and your beloved pet will appreciate. If you have a specific style in mind, bring in a photo so we can assess if it will be appropriate for your breed and your lifestyle.  Remember that dogs need regular grooming in order to avoid mats and messes that can’t be easily removed without a close trim.

  • how often your pet is groomed

Coat hand stripping for your terrier.

Top Shelf Terrier Coat

Professional Coat Stripping by hand removes excess topcoat without clipping, making room for the beautiful new coat with a more natural look.  By removing hairs in the direction of growth your beloved terrier’s coat stays tidy and healthy, strong and shiny.  Not at all painful, many dogs feel less itchy, hot and uncomfortable.  Twice a year is recommended for best results. 

Doodle Dog Grooming in Bellingham. The Perfect Doodle Haircut.

The Divine Doodle Do

Your Doodle’s hairdo requires special attention and professional care. Their hair thrives on good shampoo and conditioners, as well as the correct tools to leave that curly mass picture perfect! The length should be determined ahead of time so you don’t get a “Doodle Don’t.” Doodles’ behavior can range from feisty to calm, their coat may be curly, wavy or straight, offering a huge challenge to home grooming. City Dogs offers many years of experience so you and your companion will be pleased with the ultimate result!

Coming soonwalk n’ wash

Our new service for the impatient or exercise prone pup is a 15 minute walk with one of our professionals on the bayside trail beside the salon prior to grooming!  This get out the wiggles before their soothing bath, brush and haircut, while giving them time to sniff and pee along the way.

It’s a great option for a dog that hasn’t gotten enough exercise or has a morning appointment and needs just a little more time beforehand.
