Every groomer listed is a real, Google-reviewed business, ordered by rating and review volume, never by ad spend.

This setup fits Islip well. Sitting on the South Shore of Long Island, the area swings from humid, sticky summers to cold, damp winters coming off the Great South Bay, and salt air and moisture can leave coats matted or greasy between grooms. Dogs that walk near the water or through wooded spots around Islip Terrace, Central Islip, and Bay Shore often pick up sand, burrs, and ticks that a regular bath-and-brush helps catch early. Double-coated and long-haired breeds shed hard through the spring and fall changeovers, while short-coated dogs still need nail and ear care year-round. Because the van comes to you, there is no car ride through Sunrise Highway or Montauk Highway traffic, which helps anxious or older dogs. Compare the groomers listed on this page to find a fit for your dog and schedule.
Typical pricing: Pricing varies by your dog's size, coat, condition, and the services you choose. Contact a listing on this page for an accurate quote.
Frequently asked questions
How does Islip's bay air and humidity affect how often my dog needs grooming?
Salt air and moisture off the Great South Bay can leave coats damp, greasy, or matted faster than a drier inland climate, especially in muggy summers. Many local owners book more frequent baths and brush-outs during warm, humid stretches to keep skin healthy and knots from tightening. Ask a listing on this page about a schedule.
When during the Islip year do dogs shed the most, and how should I plan grooming around it?
Double-coated breeds blow their coats hardest during the spring warm-up and the fall cool-down, when Long Island's seasons swing sharply. Booking a deshedding groom at each changeover helps manage loose fur and undercoat. Because appointments fill during these peaks, reach out early to a listing on this page to hold a slot.
Does winter weather off the South Shore change what my dog needs from a groom?
Yes, cold, damp winters near the bay mean road salt, slush, and moisture collect on paws and bellies, which can irritate skin and paw pads. Regular baths, thorough drying, and nail and pad care help through the season. A shorter clip is not always best in cold months; ask a listing on this page for advice.
How does mobile dog grooming work?
A mobile groomer brings a fully equipped grooming van to your home. You book a time, the van parks at your curb or driveway, and your dog is bathed, dried, and trimmed on site. The van carries its own water, power, and climate control, so there is no drop-off and your dog stays in a calm, familiar setting.
How are the groomers on this page ranked?
Each listing earns a quality score that weighs its star rating together with how many reviews back it up. That rewards businesses that are both well regarded and consistently reviewed, so a steady, well-reviewed track record ranks ahead of a high rating from only a handful of customers.
