We stress the importance of regular grooming for your pets overall health.
Regular grooming is not only to keep your pet looking great, but it also plays a key
role in maintaining good health.
Grooming does not have to be a nightmare. Our goal is to see that your pet feels
safe and content at our salon. We strive to ensure a stress free and comfortable
environment so that your pet not only looks great, but is happy when it leaves and
looks forward to returning.
Our Policy:
An appointment is required for all full service grooms. As a courtesy please give
24 hour cancellation notice if unable to make appointments. There will be a $15.00
No Show Fee applied to your account if you do not cancel.
Although many pets behave very well for grooming, there are those who are not
the “little angels” we think them to be for the groomer. All animals have different
personalities just like us, and we welcome this. However for the safety of both
the groomer and the pet, we will not provide services for any aggressive animals
and we reserve the right to refuse or turn away service.
"Commonly Asked Questions about Grooming"
Q.
How often should I have my dog groomed?
A.
This depends on three things: type of breed, activity of the dog and what level
of cleanliness the owner can tolerate for the pet. A general rule of thumb is
4-6 weeks. A short, flat coated such as a lab or boxer can go a month or longer
than a shitzu or Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier whose fur needs a lot more brushing
and maintenance. These types of dogs should be groomed every 4-6 weeks to prevent
matting or else the grooming becomes more difficult. In general, longer hair dogs
should be brushed on a regular basis in between grooming appointments. Keep in
mind all dogs no matter what breed, should be groomed on a regular basis to maintain
healthy skin and coat.
Q.
Is there anything for dogs with dry skin and dandruff?
A.
Luckily, with so many great products out there for dogs, problems with irritated
skin and dandruff can be treated successfully in the salon. Lack of proper nutrition
or allergies can be the source of this problem. See your veterinarian if symptoms
worsen or do not improve.
Q.
No matter how often I brush my dog, he still gets knots and is matted. What am I
doing wrong?
A.
At home brushing usually only gets the top layer of the coat and does not get
through to the undercoat and mats unless you thoroughly brush and comb the hair
all the way through. I will be happy to show you the proper brushing and combing
techniques with the correct tools for you to use at home.
Q.
I am afraid of leaving my pet with the groomer. Will my pet be safe from other
animals?
A.
I certainly identify with the fears of leaving “your baby” with a stranger for
any given minute. It is important for the client to feel good about handing over
their pet to the groomer with confidence. Proper grooming techniques are always
introduced with a gentle and sensitive approach which I believe and abide by.
Every pet is kept in a separate cage which is thoroughly cleaned daily. We also
do our best to guarantee minimal cage time for every animal. Your pet will enter
the salon avoiding any confrontation with other pets to ensure their safety.
Q.
When should I get my new puppy groomed?
A.
I recommend grooming your puppy after he has received all his vaccinations usually
at around 3-4 months old. Early introduction to grooming will help your dog become
accustom to the grooming process which will alleviate any anxiety they may have.
We strive to see that puppies have a great experience the very first time they are
groomed. We want them to feel at ease when they go to the groomers to prevent any
unnecessary stress. We suggest that you play with your puppies paws and face as
much as possible. This will help with our grooming process.
