How do I book dog grooming in Houma?
Call (985) 333-0123, or send a callback request from our contact page.

You confirm the price and appointment time directly with the groomer.
How much does dog grooming cost in Houma, LA?
Prices are set by each groomer and depend mostly on your dog's size, coat type, matting and temperament. A short-coated beagle bath costs far less than a full haircut on a matted doodle. Ask for a quote on the call before you book.
How often should my dog be groomed in Louisiana's humidity?
Most haircut breeds do best every 4 to 8 weeks. Short-coated and outdoor dogs often benefit from a bath and brush every 4 to 6 weeks in summer, because heat, humidity and swimming keep the skin damp and the coat dirty longer.
Do you groom dogs yourselves?
No. Houma Dog Grooming is an independent referral service. We connect you with independent local groomers, who handle the grooming and set their own prices and policies.
What areas around Houma do you cover?
Houma, Bayou Cane, Bourg, Gray, Schriever, Thibodaux, Chauvin, Montegut and the rest of Terrebonne Parish. Coverage for any given day depends on groomer availability.
Is mobile dog grooming available in Houma?
Often, yes. Mobile groomers' routes change week to week, so call and we'll check what's available at your address.
Should I shave my double-coated dog for the Louisiana summer?
Most groomers advise against shaving double-coated breeds like labs, goldens, huskies and shepherds. A de-shedding treatment that removes the dead undercoat is usually the better way to help them stay comfortable. Your groomer can advise on your dog's specific coat.
My dog swims in the bayou. How often should they be bathed?
Water dogs often benefit from a bath and thorough dry every few weeks in warm months, since damp, muddy coats can lead to odor and skin irritation. If you notice redness, hot spots or ear problems, check with your vet.
What vaccinations do groomers require?
Requirements vary by groomer, but many ask for proof of rabies vaccination and often other core vaccines. Have your records ready when you book.
What if my dog is matted?
Tell us on the call. Heavy matting usually means a shorter clip for your dog's comfort and may affect the price and time needed.
Can nervous or senior dogs be groomed?
Yes, many groomers work with anxious and older dogs. Mention it so we can suggest a groomer with a calm setup, or ask about mobile grooming for a one-on-one appointment.
How far in advance should I book?
Holiday seasons, the weeks before Mardi Gras and Christmas, and spring shedding season fill up fastest. Booking a week or two ahead is a good habit, but call anytime to check for openings.
Still have a question?
Call and ask. We are happy to help you figure out what your dog needs.
