Castle Veterinary Center | مركز كاسل البيطري

4.5399 Google reviews

Castle Veterinary Center combines pet grooming with veterinary services, day care, and emergency care on Muroor Road, meaning a cat's grooming appointment happens at the same facility as its medical care. Reviews describe the clinic handling both routine grooming and urgent medical situations, including a late-night emergency, with the same named veterinarian cited across multiple reviews. This dual function can be reassuring for owners of cats with health sensitivities.

What people praise

Having veterinary staff on-site means any grooming-related concern can be addressed immediately
Reviewers describe gentle, careful handling of cats during recovery from procedures
Wide range of hours advertised for round-the-clock availability

Worth knowing

At least one reviewer found the clinic did not have a vet on site despite advertising 24/7 hours, so confirm staffing for the specific time you book

VIP PETS Salon & Pet Hotel – Pet Grooming, Boarding & Day care

4.5395 Google reviews

VIP Pets Salon on Al Reem Island runs a dedicated grooming team that handles baths, trims, and coat care for cats alongside its boarding and day care operation, and reviewers specifically call out the cat grooming as gentle rather than rushed. One touch that comes up again and again in reviews is the printed photo sent home after the appointment, a small extra that turns a routine trim into something owners actually keep.

What people praise

Reviewers describe cats emerging calm and clean rather than stressed after a trim
Groomers named individually and praised for patience with nervous cats
The printed photo after grooming is a consistently loved, unusual touch
On-site team means a same-visit switch to boarding or day care if plans change

Worth knowing

Grooming slots can book out around weekends, so plan a few days ahead

How we score

Rating is the live Google average. Review volume measures how many customers actually left feedback, ranked against others in the same search. Confidence blends rating with volume, since 113 reviews and 532 don’t carry equal weight. Recency checks how recently people are still reviewing. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does cat grooming cost in Abu Dhabi? (2026)

Cost depends on whether you choose a salon visit or mobile grooming, and on your cat’s coat length and temperament. Ask each business for a per-session rate and what’s included, such as a bath, trim, and nail clipping.

Serving all of Abu Dhabi

These groomers are spread across the city, from Al Khalidiyah and Muroor Road to Al Reem Island, Khalifa City, and Al Danah, covering most residential pockets without a long drive. If you’re searching for cat grooming near me in Abu Dhabi, several of these businesses also offer mobile service that comes directly to your home.

What to ask before you book cat grooming

Is the appointment in-salon or mobile, and how long does it take?
What’s included in the standard grooming package?
How do you handle a nervous or aggressive cat?
Do you have experience with long-haired or matted coats specifically?
What’s the cancellation or rescheduling policy?
Can I see recent photos of the groomer’s work?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these businesses?

We pulled every cat grooming service in Abu Dhabi with a meaningful Google presence, then ranked by a mix of rating, review volume, and how recently people are still leaving reviews.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects Google data verified in August 2026. We refresh it periodically as ratings and review counts shift.

How often should a cat be professionally groomed?

It depends on the breed and coat length, but long-haired cats often benefit from grooming every few weeks to prevent matting, especially in Abu Dhabi’s heat.

Is mobile grooming better than a salon visit for cats?

For cats that get stressed by car rides or unfamiliar environments, mobile grooming can reduce anxiety, though salon visits may offer more equipment and a dedicated space.

The bottom line

Wagging Wheel Pet Salon is the strongest pick if you want a stress-free, at-home grooming experience with the highest rating on this page. For a smaller, personal touch with proven long-term loyalty, Smart Pets Care is a great alternative. Either way, ask how they handle a nervous cat before you book.
