3 Great Pet Groomers Near Washington Heights-Inwood, According To Yelpers

WASHINGTON HEIGHTS, NY — The Westminster Dog Show has come and gone (shoutout to Best in Show winner Rumor the German Shepherd) but pampering your pet is in style year-round. Does your pet need a bath, styling, or general makeover?

Here are three great Washington Heights- and Inwood-area spots for you to get your pet groomed, according to the crowd wisdom of Yelp users:

Alberto’s Pet Shop — 8 Payson Ave.

Yelp reviewer Lady S. said her two Pomeranians came back smelling great: "I took my two poms there as a recommendation by one of their doggie friends. It is definitely a tight space, but there were not many pooches there. They use the BEST smelling shampoo or conditioner. The smell LASTS for about 2-3 weeks after grooming. My poms both got a lion cut and they looked super cute."

Lisa’s Pet Styles — 22 Bradhurst Ave.

Kelli B said that Lisa took good care of her smelly Pug: "We took our stinky pug to Lisa. Our poor guy was long over due for the works and I am thrilled with her work! Because we dropped him off in the morning he stayed with her almost the whole day while we were at work, and Lisa said it was a good thing because she noticed he was still shedding after his first bath. Long story short, three baths later (I think she said three) he has never been so clean!"

Royal Pet Care — 600 W. 149th St.

Michael W was very impressed by the Doggy Day Care: "Browsing the aisles I see they have a full doggie day / overnight care, clean and it looked like the dogs were enjoying themselves. The employee also informed me they offer dog grooming packages, such as a full grooming package that includes clipping, shampoo, trim, teeth and cleaning everything else you can imagine (some you may not want to imagine) for only around 65$! Full day care around same price. Score! The staff was extremely friendly, and the gentleman helping me was a good boy. Such a good boy! Yes you are! Yes you are!!"
