Grooming Services Overview

Main Grooming Packages

Q: What grooming packages do you offer?
A: We offer three main packages: Bath & Brush, Cleanup, and Full Grooming.
Q: What is included in the Bath & Brush service?
A: Our Bath & Brush package includes two rounds of premium, hypoallergenic shampoo, full-body brushing (to remove tangles, dust, and debris), high-velocity drying, nail trimming (including pad hair), ear check, and a basic skin and coat health assessment.
Regular Bath & Brush sessions help prevent matting and make future haircuts easier and faster.
Q: What is the Cleanup package, and who is it recommended for?
A: The Cleanup package includes everything in the Bath & Brush, plus sanitary trimming (belly, genital area, and rear), paw and footpad trimming, rounded feet, and trimming around the eyes and face for improved visibility and cleanliness.
It is recommended for dogs with fast-growing hair, tear stains, messy bottoms or feet, or owners who want an extra tidy look without a full haircut.
Q: When should I choose the Full Grooming (haircut) package?
A: Choose Full Grooming if your dog needs a breed-standard or seasonal haircut. The service includes everything in the Cleanup package, plus a full body haircut.
Consultation is available: Bring photos or ideas for a custom consultation.

Stand-alone Services & Package Add-ons

Q: Can I book just a nail trim, anal gland expression, or tooth brushing?
A: Absolutely! These services can be booked as stand-alone appointments. Price: Small dogs $15, large dogs $20. Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are recommended.
Q: How much are the add-on services like Ear Cleaning or Anal Gland Expression?
A: You may add these services to any package for an additional fee: $5 for small dogs or $10 for large dogs.

Health & Safety Restrictions

Special Cases and Fees

Q: Are there age or health restrictions for senior dogs and puppies?
A: Senior Dogs (11+ years): We do not accept new senior clients due to stress and health risks in unfamiliar environments. Existing senior clients are always welcome. Puppies (under 6 months): Gentle "cleanup" sessions are recommended to build positive grooming habits.
Q: What should I do if my dog has fleas or ticks?
A: If active pests are present, please visit your veterinarian for prescription treatment first. Wait at least 3 days after medication before coming in for a flea bath. A flea bath fee applies: Small $15, Medium $20, Large $25.
Q: What if my dog is anxious or reactive? Are there special fees?
A: We offer special handling for sensitive, anxious, elderly, or reactive dogs. A Special Handling Fee ($20–50) may apply if extra time, staff, or care is needed. A Bite Charge ($30–60) may apply if your dog bites during grooming. We may stop the session and call you for early pickup if safety is a concern.

De-matting and De-shedding

Q: Can I book just a de-matting session?
A: Yes, you can book de-matting only. For severe matting, always seek professional help. Caution: Never use scissors to cut out mats at home, as this is a leading cause of skin injuries.
Q: Which dogs need de-shedding?
A: De-shedding is designed for double-coated breeds (Huskies, Malamutes, Samoyeds, Retrievers, etc.). It reduces shedding, odor, and hot spots.
