How often should I have my dog groomed?

Depending on the breed, your dog should be groomed every six to eight weeks.

Do I need an appointment?

Yes, both grooming and bath services require appointments, except you can do a walk-in nail trim. It is best to schedule an appointment so we can take the time necessary to properly groom your pet.

I'd like my pet groomed on a regular schedule, can you set that up?

Yes, we would be happy to. We can schedule your pet to come in whenever you would like, and we can go out months in advance!

How long will my dog have to stay?

A professional job takes time. It depends on the breed and size of the dog, but we typically schedule two to three hours. We will call you when your pet is finished and ready to go home.

What products do you use?

We use a variety of products based off of your pets individual needs. All of our products are purchased from a professional supplier. The Paw Spa upgrades use Spa Brand products. You are welcome to ask when you come in with your pet.

How old must my puppy be to be groomed?

Puppies for grooming must be at least 3 months old and have received all required vaccinations.

Why should I have my puppy groomed?

It is a good idea to start your puppy on a grooming schedule as early as possible to get him/her used to the sights, sounds and smells of a grooming salon as well as being handled by a groomer. This alleviates stress and anxiety of visiting the groomer. Grooming becomes accepted by your dog as part of his/her life routine and he/she will enjoy the experience. Regular grooming creates a bond between the dog and the groomer and your dog will consider the groomer extended family.

How old should my cat be to start grooming?

We groom kittens as young as 3 months as long as they have all required vaccinations.

Why should I have my cat groomed?

It is a good idea to have your cat groomed when he/she is a kitten to get them used to being in water and handled by the groomer. The younger they are groomed the more accepting they are of being bathed and handled.

How often should I have my cat groomed?

It is a good idea to have your cat groomed every 2 months. Even though cats ‘clean‘ themselves, they should be fully groomed to keep the ears clean and infection free, trim the nails and to remove dead skin and also remove excess hair to keep them from ingesting it to help prevent hair balls.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept both cash and checks. The credit cards we accept include Visa, MasterCard, and Discover.
