BrushIT Dog & Cat Gromming

Pet grooming isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s a routine part of care for dogs and cats in urban settings. On West 158th Street, a block where pre-war walk-ups mix with newer developments, BrushIT Dog & Cat Grooming handles everything from breed-specific trims to nail clipping. The stretch of Manhattan here is quiet compared to downtown, but the sidewalks still hum with leashed bulldogs and carriers of displeased Persians.

They offer the usual services—baths, brush-outs, ear cleaning—but also deal with the less glamorous side of pet upkeep, like anal gland expression and flea treatments. Some groomers specialize in show cuts; this place seems geared toward the everyday needs of city pets whose owners might not have bathtubs big enough for a golden retriever. The address, 525 W 158th St, New York, NY 10032, puts it a few avenues from Riverside Park, where freshly groomed terriers could theoretically show off their haircuts.

Questions about services or scheduling are best directed to their phone line. The number to call is (646) 726-2486, and a map confirms it’s an easy walk from the 1 train. No frills, no boutique pricing—just the basics for pets who need them.
