All Breed Pet Grooming in Concord has been run by Kathleen, a master groomer, since 1985—that’s over 35 years of experience handling dogs of all breeds and temperaments. She opened the salon with a genuine passion for the work, and it shows in how she handles even anxious dogs with real patience and understanding.

The salon offers standard grooming along with specialized treatments tailored to individual needs. Kathleen does breed-specific cuts, soothing baths, and the kind of detailed work that comes from decades of knowing dog coats inside and out. She takes time with each dog, making sure they’re comfortable and safe during their visit. The space itself is set up to feel welcoming rather than stressful—important since grooming day can be nerve-wracking for some dogs.

Concord’s a good location for fitting a grooming appointment into your day. Newhall Community Park is nearby if you want to tire your dog out before or after their appointment, and the Contra Costa Canal Regional Trail is accessible for a longer walk if you have time. It’s the kind of area where you can make a whole outing of it.

Kathleen’s approach to grooming goes beyond just making your dog look clean. She’s built her reputation on understanding that grooming is as much about your dog’s comfort and wellbeing as it is about the final look. That consistency over three decades matters—she’s dealt with senior dogs, puppies, anxious rescues, and everything in between. If you’ve got a dog that’s difficult to groom or needs specific handling, it’s worth mentioning when you call to schedule. She’s the kind of groomer who remembers her regular clients and adjusts her approach based on what she learns about each dog.
