Tails of the City is a full-service grooming salon in Vacaville where the groomers actually take time with your dog instead of rushing through appointments. With over 40 years of combined experience on staff, they know how to handle dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments—and they’re serious about keeping safety front and center throughout the entire grooming process.

The team uses high-quality products and approaches each groom as a complete spa experience rather than just a quick wash and cut. Every full groom includes a bath, haircut, nail clipping, ear cleaning, and anal expression. They can add cologne, bandanas, or bows at no extra charge if you want your dog to leave looking extra polished. If you have a cat that needs grooming, some of their groomers handle those too.

Pricing for full grooms varies depending on your dog’s size, breed, and coat condition, so there’s no single price posted online. That’s actually typical for grooming salons since a double-coated dog or one with matting requires different time and effort than a short-haired dog. The best approach is to stop by in person and chat with one of the groomers about what your dog needs and what it’ll cost, or call ahead to schedule a grooming consultation. That way you can also get a sense of the salon’s setup and meet the person who’ll be working with your dog.

The salon has been part of the Vacaville community long enough that they’ve built real relationships with their regular clients—the kind of place where the groomers remember your dog’s personality and preferences. If you’ve been dreading the grooming process because your dog gets anxious or your previous groomer seemed impatient, it’s worth a conversation with them about how they’d handle your specific situation.
