Pet grooming (애견미용) is widely available — most neighborhoods have grooming salons, and many vet clinics and big pet stores offer it too. A basic grooming runs roughly 30,000–60,000 won for a small dog and more for larger or long-haired breeds, with full grooming usually including a bath, blow-dry, nail trim, ear cleaning, paw-pad and sanitary trim, and a full-body cut or styling. Prices depend on the dog's size, coat condition, and whether it's matted, so it's normal to be quoted more for a neglected coat, and booking ahead via phone or Naver is recommended since good groomers fill up. Cats can be groomed too but fewer places do it, so search specifically for cat-friendly salons, and you can find reviews and photos on Naver Map.
