Hay Hoshi lies on the outer, newer side of Sharjah where housing spreads towards the desert edge and plots are generous. Cats here range from pampered indoor Persians to semi-outdoor moggies, and both benefit from a proper groom two or three times a year. Salonist collects the travelling groomers who cover this stretch, and the pet grooming options in Hay Hoshi page shows their availability at a glance.
The work itself is methodical rather than quick. Skin and coat are assessed, the fur is brushed right down to the base, mats are separated by hand where they can be, and a wash follows only if the cat is relaxed about water. After drying come the nails, the ears and a light trim at the rear. Allow an hour, or longer for a cat that has not been groomed in months. Try cat grooming in Hoshi if your dates clash.
Expect to pay in the region of AED 95 to 160 for a short-haired cat and AED 145 to 260 for a long-haired one, with a lion cut between AED 210 and 390 when the coat is past saving. Matting is charged by the time it takes, and the mobile fee is separate. Compare cat grooming in Industrial Area 11.
Out here the houses are cooled hard and the air indoors is very dry, so shedding carries on right through the cooler months and a weekly comb is the difference between a smooth coat and a matted one. Avoid midday car journeys. Sand blown in from the open ground round about works its way deep into a long coat as well. The same is worth remembering for cat grooming in Industrial Area 3.
Since no groomer keeps premises in Hay Hoshi, the bookings you make here go to mobile handlers and clinics that serve the wider area, and the number of them rises each season. You pick a time yourself, avoid the phone entirely, pay through the app and judge by reviews written after real appointments. Cancellations do turn up at short notice, so it is worth checking again. Also listed is cat grooming in Kshishah 6.
