Dog Grooming

Dog Grooming

We focus first on the safety and wellbeing of any pet that enters our salon. That’s why we are hyper-vigilant in the pet precautions and sanitation of our environment.

GROOMING SERVICES INCLUDE

  • A bath with high-quality shampoos and conditioners designed to match every pet’s individual needs. 
  • De-shedding services, if your pet is a double-coated breed. 
  • Ears are thoroughly cleaned
  • Glands are checked and expressed if needed. 
  • Nails are trimmed and sanded with a Dremel to ensure they are as short and smooth as possible without getting them too short. 
  • Dogs needing haircuts — Poodles, Bichons, Shih Tzus and such — receive the cut appropriate for their breed, with concessions made for the owner’s preferences. 
  • Grooming Hours

    Monday – Saturday 9:00 am- 5:00 pm

We groom by appointment only, so your pet does not have to stay all day in unfamiliar surroundings. We know they’re most comfortable at home!  Most grooming appointments take 1.5 to 2 hours. If you need to leave your pet longer, that is not a problem, but our goal is to not require pets to stay for an extended time beyond their service.

We recommend dogs be groomed every 4 to 6 weeks.  Experience shows that dogs who are not groomed on a regular basis require additional time, skill and product to make up for the length of time between grooms. As a result those dogs we haven’t seen in 7 weeks + will incur the additional “Infrequent Groom” charge. However, this does not apply to cats or short hair dog

Dogs that are not groomed on a regular basis

Dogs that are not groomed on a regular basis will be charged a non-regular customer fee. We have found that dogs that are not groomed on a regular basis require additional time, skill and product. We recommend Dogs be groomed every 4-6 weeks, those that we haven’t seen  7 weeks + will incur the additional charge. This does not apply to to cats or short hair dogs.

Thera-Clean Microbubble Bath

Our Thera-Clean is a great state-of-the-art service we offer. The Thera-Clean microbubble system uses technology from Japan to produce microbubbles. Pets are soaked for about twenty minutes. This is a great benefit to dogs suffering from skin issues, allergies, excessive shedding or a pet who has been skunked. Microbubble Thera-Clean baths are a great solution!

Mat Removal

Matted hair leaves us with limited options.  If the mats are manageable, we might be able to remove them.  If it is not matted to the skin we may be able to do a lion cut.  When fur is matted to the skin, grooming gets much trickier and requires two groomers to groom the cat. Severe matting poses the risk of someone actually cutting your kitty’s skin, so we are very, very mindful of their well-being through this labor-intensive process. Because the safety of your kitty requires two groomers, mat removal grooming starts at $150….and regular grooming will hopefully allow this to be a one-time expense!

Severely matted/pelted cats starts at $250 and includes a follow up appointment.

Comb Cut

This trim resembles a Lion Cut but leaves the hair longer. It’s great for an older cat or one who doesn’t tolerate a short haircut. This is a great look without having to commit to a really short cut.

Service includes

Lion Cut

A Lion Cut is a very short all over body haircut. A mane is left around the neck and the hair below the elbows on the front legs and hock joint on the rear legs. Personal preference determines whether we leave a full, natural tail, or create a lion tail which is short with a tuft of hair at the end.

(regardless of long or short hair)

Service includes

De-shedding Groom

This procedure removes the undercoat to reduce shedding, making your life less hairy!

Recommended schedule:  Regular 4-8 week scheduling can reduce shedding by up to 80%. 

This includes all services in the Bath and Blowout (see above) plus additional hair removal.

De-shedding is included with every service we provide, including the follow-up appointment for the Mat Removal service.

If, however, your cat is excessively shedding and we have to put in an inordinate amount of time/effort to get all of the undercoat out, there may be an additional $20 charge, which would be discussed as a possibility with you if it appears likely when you drop your cat off.

Bath & Blow Out

Standard grooming service for both short hair and long hair cats

Recommended frequency: every 5 to 8 weeks.  

It will improve your cat’s health — and your life! — by preventing hairballs, matting, excessive shedding, messy bottoms, and ingrown toenails.

Short Hair: Bath, no haircut Service includes

Long hair: Bath, no haircut Service includes
