Shaggy dogs are cute and all, but every once in a while it's nice to have Fluffy sculpted and scented. From blueberry facials to aromatherapy sessions, Miami groomers know how to pamper a pet, which is why we rounded up 15 of Miami's best places and pet spas to get your dogs and cats groomed. The map is arranged from north to south. If we missed anything, don't bark. Just let us know in the comments and we'll consider the add!
Le Pet Salon is a pink prima donna spa for pups and kittens. The joint's crown jewel is Yelena, their dog groomer at large, who can sculpt a doggy fro into quite the topiary of fur. Dog prices range between $35 and $75, while cats can get trimmed between $45 and $75, and they use a shampoo that's safe enough for puppies and kittens over six weeks old. It's also a plus that it smells like mandarin and chamomile. Back off, owners. It's for pets only.
Salon Poochini is where doggy divas go to get groomed, and the salon has even been featured on National Geographic's Dog Lover's Guide to Travel. They specialize in hand scissoring and they'll even pick up and drop off your pet, not to mention deliver him to your car if you can't get out. Oh, and no one leaves without a crystal adorned bow or ribbon, or a handmade bandana from their adorable pet boutique, where you can find mini Lacoste polos and "Chewy Vuitton" toys.
It's been said 4 Paws Only is the best holistic pet spa in Miami, offering all the amenities of a traditional grooming salon in a cage free environment. Leave your pet there for doggy day care, and pick him or her up once the primping is done. Don't forget to browse through the pet store, where holistic food and snacks reign supreme.
Magic Grooming offers grooming and hotel services for cats and dogs. When they aren't getting matted and de-knotted, they can take a snooze in one of the joint's roomy resting areas, or bark it up within its indoor play pen with other pups.
The Pet Mode is where Miami's furry elite go to get pampered and primped. Service prices range from $25 for a teacup sized dog to over $80 for standard poodles, which is also the same price you'd pay to get your feline groomed. The real draw? Pet Mode's roomy pet boutique with doggy bowls, golden collars, puppy ponchos and anything else your materialistic mutt may need.
At Orange Grooming, people talk about the fact that Kim Kardashian brought her cat here in 2012. People also talk about the Bubbly Unlimited package: $39.95 per month, and Fluffy gets all the primping he or she needs. They also have other packages with fun names, like BATHsic (a basic wash) or WOOFul (bandana included)! Make sure to check out the boutique, filled with fabulous collars and getups for your pet.
D.O.G. is like the Ritz Carlton of doggy daycares, salons, and boarding. They have aromatherapy and massage sessions prior to grooming in their "zen" room, not to mention specialized treatments like paw balm and de-shed furminating. Grooming packages start at $40, however you could opt in on a monthly plan, which will get you three baths and a trim per month for as low as $100. Oh and there are doggy treadmills in the facility. DOGGY TREADMILLS.
Not only will Miami Beach Pet Spa groom your fluffy friend, they'll also pick up and deliver your dog, so long as you live in the Miami Beach area. They even have a master feline groomer on staff, not to mention others who have graduated from prestigious pet schools of grooming. (Yes, those exist).
At this Alton Road salon, you can shop while you get both your dog and your cat groomed, or you could simply have them picked up and delivered back to your home. Beware though. Yelpers say they take their time grooming, so Grooming Loft may not be for owners in a rush.
Big dogs, little dogs, cats? City Pooch can handle them all. Each pet is bathed twice with all natural products, and topped off with a bandana or bow, whether or not they go through the whole trim or not.
First and foremost, Dogtown is a doggie hotel, and a colorful, fun one at that. But they do have grooming services starting at $45, with plenty of upgrades for pampering like oatmeal shampoo or deep conditioning. When your dog's not getting groomed, he can lounge about in one of their luxury suites named after Coconut Grove streets and staples (The Peacock Suite! The Mayfair! King Mango's!).
For over 12 years Lovely Pets has been shaving down critters of all sizes and the pest part of this Coconut Grove parlor, is that they sell all the shampoos they use in case you want to DIY bath time- another reason to linger in Lovely Pets' boutique out front. They keep all pets separate during visits, so pups can have their space while they relax and dry off.
Not only will the staff of Dog Charm ensure your dog, big or small, has a perfectly sculpted main; they'll also pick up and deliver your mutt to your doorstep. The inside of Dog Charm kind of reminds you of something out of 101 Dalmatians with bright red walls and yellow paw prints painted around, but they're very serious about their clients' hygiene, from fur to teeth.
The Dog from Ipanema may have dog in the title, but they've been known to cater to other critters, like ferrets and rabbits. Before taking out the razor, the staff interviews you to determine the best style cut for your pet, and it's this level of superb customer service that's led to some pretty stellar Yelp reviews.
My Dog really knows how to pamper. Cleaning packages include nail trims, sanitary trims, ear cleanings, breath fresheners and even blueberry facials. Grooming is done in private suites, and only members of the same pack are allowed to interact. They offer discounts if you bring multiple dogs in at a time, and there are free pickup and drop off services if you live in Pinecrest!
