Expert grooming with gentle hands and hometown care in the heart of Vernon Township
Christina's Grooming has been the trusted name for pet parents across Vernon Township and the surrounding NJ Highlands since opening its doors on Route 94. What started as Christina's passion for making every dog and cat look and feel their best has grown into a full-service salon where wagging tails and contented purrs are the daily soundtrack. Located at 246 NJ-94, the bright, airy space welcomes pets of every breed and temperament with patience, skill, and genuine affection. From wriggly puppies experiencing their first haircut to senior dogs needing extra-gentle handling, the team treats each animal as an individual. Owners appreciate the honest communication, flexible scheduling, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing their pets are in caring, capable hands. It's more than grooming—it's a neighborhood ritual where four-legged family members leave looking sharp and feeling loved.

Appointments are strongly recommended, especially for full grooms. Same-day or next-day slots are often available for nail trims and quick touch-ups—call ahead to check.
Most dogs are finished in 2–4 hours depending on size, coat condition, and services requested. Puppies and small breeds are often done faster; thick double coats or heavily matted dogs may take longer.
Christina's team excels with nervous pets. They use calm handling, short breaks, and positive reinforcement. First-time grooming often includes extra time and a slower pace to build trust.
Yes! Christina's grooms both cats and dogs. Cat services include gentle baths, lion cuts, sanitary trims, and nail caps. We recommend bringing cats in carriers and advise scheduling during quieter hours.
