Question 1

What is USA Dog Grooming?

Accepted Answer

A free directory of 24,532 dog groomers across all 50 states and DC: grooming salons, mobile groomers, and pet businesses that groom, such as daycares and vets. Every listing shows the business's Google rating, hours in its own time zone, services, photos, and contact details, so you can compare groomers near you without opening ten tabs.

Question 2

Where does the listing information come from?

Accepted Answer

From publicly available business information, checked for duplicates and mismatches. Each listing shows the date its details were captured. Once an owner claims a listing, they maintain it directly, and their updates take priority.

Question 3

Are the ratings and reviews live?

Accepted Answer

Ratings and review counts are a snapshot from Google with the capture date shown on the page. We don't copy review text. The "What people mention" tags summarize common review themes, and every listing links straight to its reviews on Google for the full picture.

Question 4

How do I find a groomer near me?

Accepted Answer

Type a city, a ZIP code, or a business name into the search box, or tap the location button to see the closest groomers sorted by distance. You can also browse by state and city from the home page, and every state and city has a separate page for mobile groomers who come to you.

Question 5

Is it free to use, and is it free to be listed?

Accepted Answer

Both. Dog owners never pay to search, and businesses are listed and can claim their listing at no cost. There are no paid placements, and the order of listings on city pages is based on Google review counts, not payment.

Question 6

I own a grooming business. How do I claim my listing?

Accepted Answer

Create a free account, open your business's page, and click "Claim." If your website is on your own domain, we email a one-time code to an address at that domain and the listing is yours within a minute. Otherwise you email us one document that shows your connection to the business, such as a utility bill for the shop address or a business license, and a person reviews it, usually within a day. We never call, and documents are never stored on the site. Once approved you can edit hours, services, photos, contact details, and your booking link from your dashboard.

Question 7

My business isn't listed. Can I add it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After creating an account, use Add your business. You'll first search the directory so you don't create a duplicate, then fill in the details and photos. New listings are reviewed by a person before they go live.

Question 8

Something on a listing is wrong, or I want a business removed.

Accepted Answer

If it's your business, claim the listing and fix it directly. Otherwise send the correction or removal request through the contact form with the business name and city, and we'll take care of it.

Question 9

Why do some listings have a hidden website?

Accepted Answer

A number of grooming businesses have look-alike websites on their Google profile that were generated by third parties rather than by the business. We hide those rather than send you somewhere questionable. When an owner claims the listing and enters their real website, it shows immediately.

Question 10

What does the "Managed by the owner" badge mean?

Accepted Answer

The business has verified ownership and maintains the listing itself, so its hours, services, and photos are the owner's own updates rather than a snapshot from Google.
