FAQ

How much does it cost to have my dog groomed?

Prices are based on the breed and size of the dog.  Age, behavior, special needs and the condition of the coat can influence the cost of individual grooming services.

Do I need to schedule an appointment to have my dog groomed?

Yes, Appointments allow us to give each pet the special attention and time they deserve.

How long will my dog need to stay for grooming?

A typical grooming procedure takes about 2-3 hours.  Additional time may be needed for larger dogs or dogs with thick or matted fur. We attempt in every way to have your pet ready at the appointed time.  Due to the special nature of working with animals, sometimes things might not go as scheduled. You're patience and understanding is greatly appreciated.

How often should my dog be groomed?

Frequency of grooming depends on the breed, coat type and length, lifestyle and how much brushing and detangling you do at home between grooming appointments.  If your dog has a longer hair style or a coat that tends to get tangled, they should be professionally groomed every 4-6 weeks.  A dog with a short hair style or short coat can be groomed every 6-8 weeks.

How do I get the best results from the groomer?

Every dog owner has different needs and expectations about dog grooming.

• Be specific about your expectations...
• Bring pictures
• Be realistic about the condition of your pet's coat.....( Do you brush your pet regularly at home? or is his coat badly matted or tangled? Even a skilled groomer can't save a tangled coat... sometimes there is no choice but to shave the matts and wait for the fur to grow back.)
• Be honest about the results.... ( If you don't like the result, tell the groomer in person, when you pick up your pet so that next time the groomer will have a better idea of what you want.)

What is the FURminator Shed-Less Treatment?

• It starts with a massaging bath with the FURminator deShedding Shampoo.
• The FURminator deShedding solution is applied to help loosen the undercoat and hair.
• A high velocity dryer separates and eliminates the excess coat and loose hair on your pet.
• The special patented FURminator deShedding Tool is then used to extract loose hair and undercoat from your pet, leaving only the shiny and healthy top coat.
