The Petco Grooming salon in Monterey has certified stylists on staff who genuinely care about the work they do. When you bring your dog in, you’ll notice right away how each groomer handles their jobs—there’s a real passion for making dogs feel comfortable during their appointments.

The full-service grooming covers everything from basic bathing and trimming to more specialized treatments. If you’re not sure what your dog needs, they offer free consultations where you can talk through options with someone who knows dogs. They can help you figure out what style works best for your dog’s coat type and your lifestyle.

Beyond full grooming sessions, they have walk-in services for quick maintenance work. Nail trimming, teeth brushing, and ear cleaning all start at just $5, which is handy if you’re heading to the pet store anyway and notice your dog’s nails are getting long. You can book appointments online if you prefer planning ahead, or you can call to schedule something.

They also have self-dog wash stations available for $12 if you’d rather do the washing yourself but want access to their tubs, sprayers, and grooming supplies. It’s a good option if your dog gets anxious around other people or if you want to stay involved in the process.

Package upgrades let you add things like specialty shampoos or conditioning treatments to a regular grooming session. You can customize the experience based on what your dog needs—whether that’s a medicated shampoo for skin issues or a de-shedding treatment if your dog sheds heavily.

The location makes it convenient since it’s right in the Monterey Petco, so you can handle grooming and shopping at the same time. If you’re coming for a longer appointment, there’s time to browse the store while your dog is being worked on.
