Bath with basic shampoo, dry, 15 minutes brushing time, nails, ears, and your choice of style.

Yes, we bath all pets before our grooming tools touch pets unless extremely matted situations. This helps the possibilities of cross contamination and/or bacteria on pets. Furthermore, if a pet is injured in our care it has a better chance of healing and not getting infected.

How long should it take for my pet's grooming service?

It typically takes 2-3 hours for all services to be performed. Sometimes it may take longer due to higher volume of calls, walk-in services and/or condition of prior pets. However we make it mandatory to call all of our pet parents either 10-15 minutes before we are completed or immediately after grooming service is complete.

What is your drying process?

All Pets are dried with a High Velocity Dryer. If pets require extra drying time or do not like the dryer then they are caged dried with fans only.

Can I stay with my pet during the grooming process?

Unfortunately, due to insurance reasons we cannot allow pet parents to stay or enter our grooming areas. However, for many of our senior pets with prior authorizations, I may ask for a pet parent to stay to aid in helping to get their pet groomed and home immediately.

What if my pet is matted?

We will make every effort to give you the style of groom you want, but in many cases the hair must be clipped very closely. Every pet parent must sign our matted pet release for authorization to pricing and serves.

If your vet is requiring a prescription shampoo product, please bring it in. We do use Zymox, Chlorhexidine 3% or Chlorhexidine 3% & Hydrocortisone 1% Shampoo's in our facility. We no longer use Oatmeal shampoo due to health issues for pets. If you bring any type of human shampoo, we will not use it due to pH differentials between human and pet.

How often should I be getting my pet groomed?

Can you trim my dog’s nails?

Yes, we do! In fact, we encourage all our clients to have their pet’s nails professionally looked at to make sure they are kept short every 30 days or sooner if you have a senior pet. We feel overgrown nails are extremely uncomfortable to your pet and we also feel overgrown nails can feel like to your pet that they are wearing shoes too small for them. If you would like your pet’s nails softer or help get them shorter we can grind/file them.

At what age do you recommend puppies to start their grooming?

We believe once your puppy has its first set of vaccines on board to start it's grooming services. The earlier the start of the Professional World the better it is for both your pet and the groomer. Your new pet has many years (approximately 12-13 years) of grooming ahead of them and once they hit senior years it makes things so much easier to groom because your pet is aware of the procedures.
