What we do

Grooming services

Not sure what your dog needs? Call or text and we'll help you pick.

Wash & groom

Bath, dry, cut and style for every breed and size, done the way you like it.

Ears, teeth, nails & glands

The care that keeps your pet healthy and comfortable between vet visits.

Flea shampoo baths

A natural-based flea shampoo that works on contact, without the harsh chemicals of a flea dip.

Special shampoos

Sensitive skin? Bring your own products or your vet's medicated shampoo and we'll use it.

Cats: please call first

We groom some cats! Call us to talk about your cat before booking. For their comfort and safety, we're not able to take senior cats or very stressed, anxious kitties.

A family business since 2008

Over 40 years of grooming experience

Owner Kathy started as a bather in 1984, became a professional groomer in 1986, and bought Best Friends Pet Salon in 2008. Today she and the team, including Kristin and Madison, take the time to learn every pet's personality, and they're gentle with the anxious, older and high-energy dogs other salons turn away. No hidden fees, fair prices and real care.
