Your pet brings you ultimate joy – an emotion they aren’t likely to feel when you drop them off at the groomer. That’s why you’re doing some research before handing them over to just anyone. Here are four grooming salons in and around The Woodlands with stellar Google reviews.

Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming

Both funny and brilliant, this part bakery, part spa offers animal nutrition counseling. Book an appointment online for grooming – they accommodate pets of all sizes and have an array of spa packages to choose from, plus a self-serve pet wash station with complimentary shampoo, conditioner, blow dryer, brushing tools, and finishing spritz. Come for the cleanliness; leave with a doggie donut.

Best Friends Pet Hotel

At Best Friends, your best friend’s groom includes a haircut plus styling – with the option of adding on a shedicure to “reduce shedding up to 80%.” Clever and practical, these folks deserve a slow cap and a big tip.
