Gentle, Local Care for Your Furry & Feathered Friends

That’s why, at Belmont Pet Shop, we offer small pet grooming in Belmont, MA that’s tailored to the needs of your dog, cat, or pocket pet. Our team understands that grooming isn’t one-size-fits-all, and that’s why we provide gentle, attentive services in a calm environment that pets actually enjoy.

Additionally, for over 75 years, we’ve been a familiar face in the Belmont community. Families across town — from Cushing Square to the leafy neighborhoods near Belmont Hill — have trusted us to keep their pets looking and feeling their best.

What We Groom & How We Do It


Our grooming services are designed to accommodate a variety of pets. While we’re proud to be a top choice for dog grooming in Belmont, MA, we also specialize in grooming cats and small pets like rabbits, guinea pigs, and even birds. No matter the pet, we aim to make each grooming appointment a stress-free experience. And because we live and work right here in Belmont, we know the local climate and how it can affect your pet’s grooming schedule. For example, New England’s long winters can lead to dry skin and shedding, while the humid summers call for lighter coats and more frequent baths. We understand that each species — and each individual pet — has different grooming needs.

A Belmont Staple Since 1949


Being part of the Belmont Pet Shop team means more than just offering services—it means being part of the community. For over seven decades, our little shop on Trapelo Road has been where neighbors stop in for grooming, pet boarding, supplies, and advice. We’ve built relationships with families from Waverley Square to the outskirts of Cambridge and Watertown, and we’re proud of the trust we’ve earned.

Our groomers don’t just clock in and out — they take the time to get to know your pet. Whether your dog is nervous, your cat hates loud noises, or your rabbit needs extra care around their ears, we adapt our approach to make grooming as gentle as possible.

Why Grooming Matters

You don’t need a special occasion to get your pet groomed. In fact, regular grooming does more than make them look cute:

  • It helps prevent skin infections and matting
  • Keeps nails at a safe length to avoid pain or injury
  • Reduces shedding and dander
  • Allows early detection of lumps, bumps, or skin issues

We often find that pets who come in for routine care are happier, healthier, and easier to manage at home. If you’re searching for pet grooming near Belmont MA that prioritizes your pet’s well-being, we’d love to welcome you into our shop.
