Cactus Comb Grooming Co. · South Austin
We groom one dog at a time in South Austin, and every pup leaves happy.
Services & prices
Every price is a “from” for a dog up to 40 lb. Bigger dogs, heavy matting or a hand-scissor finish add a little — we tell you the exact number at drop-off before we start.

We groom dogs from:
Meet the groomers
You'll get one of us, start to finish. No kennel drying, no handing your dog to a stranger mid-cut.
Her dog: Pepita, a 9-year-old chihuahua mix who supervises from the front desk.
Maya opened Cactus Comb in 2018 after eight years grooming on East 6th. She's the one who'll call you mid-groom if your doodle needs a shorter clip than we planned.
His dog: Biscuit, a French bulldog who hates baths and loves the blow-dryer.
Joe does the double coats and the nervous first-timers. He's patient with a husky in blowing season and keeps a running list of which dogs prefer the quiet tub.
How a visit works
Drop-off takes five minutes. We check coat, skin and nails together, agree the cut, and confirm the price before your dog goes on the table.
Warm bath with a tear-free shampoo, blow-dry on low, then the cut. Breaks and treats whenever a dog needs one — no restraints, no cage drying.
We text you 20 minutes before pickup. You get a photo, a written report card (coat, ears, nails, anything to watch) and a bandana if your dog tolerates one.
Book a groom
Pick a service and a day that suits you. Maya or Joe will text you within two business hours to lock the exact time and answer anything about coat or price.
Maya or Joe will text within 2 business hours to confirm the exact time. If your dog needs a different service once we see the coat, we'll say so before we start.
Fresh from the table
Real clients, real finishes. These two came in for a full groom and a doodle brush-out.
Reviews
★★★★★
“Maya took one look at Gus's matted ears and said she'd try to save the coat instead of shaving him. He came out looking like a proper schnauzer.”
★★★★★
“First groom for our puppy and Joe let her sniff everything before the clippers. She fell asleep during the blow-dry. We're booked for six weeks out already.”
★★★★★
“The report card told me about a hot spot I hadn't noticed. That's not a groom, that's a check-up. Winston's coat has never been softer.”
★★★★☆
“Took three hours for the husky blow-out and worth every minute — the pile of undercoat on the floor was alarming. Parking out back made drop-off easy.”

Matting adds $20–$45 on top of the $85 doodle groom, depending on how close to the skin we have to go. We'll tell you the exact price at drop-off before we start, and we never shave a doodle down without asking you first.
Rabies and DHPP need to be current, and we ask for your vet's name so we can check — titers are fine. Bordetella is required for day boarding only, not for a groom.
Tell us on the booking form and we'll book you at 8am when the salon is quiet, work at your dog's pace, and stop for breaks. We use a chin rest and a Happy Hoodie instead of restraints, and we'll call you if a dog is too stressed to finish safely.
A bath and tidy runs 60–75 minutes, a full groom 90–120 minutes, and doodles or double coats 2–3 hours. We text you when your dog is in the tub and again 20 minutes before pickup.
Cancel or move a groom up to 24 hours ahead at no charge by calling (512) 555-0147. Inside 24 hours we charge $25, and a no-show is the full service price — we hold that slot for one dog only.

Yes — anxious, older and special-needs dogs get the quiet 8am slot, a chin-rest instead of restraints, and breaks whenever they need one. We'll always call you if a dog is too stressed to finish safely.
A short walk and a potty break before drop-off, and skip breakfast if your dog gets car-sick. Tell us about any lumps, hot spots or sore paws on the booking form and we'll take a look.
You're welcome to stay for the five-minute consult, but most dogs settle faster once their person heads out. We text a photo mid-groom so you can see how it's going.
A bath & tidy is a wash, blow-dry and light trim around the face, feet and sanitary area; a full groom adds a full body and face cut for a finished shape. If you're not sure which your dog needs, pick the full groom and we'll adjust at drop-off.
Yes — the $28 nails and teeth touch-up is walk-in friendly Tuesday through Sunday. Call ahead if you'd rather not wait, especially on Saturday.
