Frequently Asked Question about Pet Grooming Services:
How long does it usually take?
If the hair needs to be cut, we ask that you allow four hours so that we can wash, dry and cut the hair. If the hair is matted it may take more time. If there is no scissoring, it generally takes less time. If you need your dog groomed "in and out", we may suggest you come at a specific time - usually the first thing in the morning. There may be an additional charge for this service. If you like we can call you as the groomer is finishing --that way you can come right away to pick up
Do you bathe the dog first?
In order to get an even hair cut, the hair needs to be clean so we always bathe the dog as part of grooming. Depending on your dog’s breed and style, the groomer may do a “rough cut”. After the rough cut, the dog is washed, dried and then the haircut is completed. In other cases, we may wash and dry the dog completely before starting the haircut. Most dogs are washed using a hypo-allergenic shampoo but we can vary the shampoo depending on your needs. After the dog is washed and rinsed, we may use a conditioner as well
Do I get the same groomer each time?
Some clients prefer to keep the same groomer. If your dog is nervous and/or you have very specific requests, we find that coming back to the same groomer works best because it fosters a relationship between the client, groomer and dog.
