Note to Our Valued Customers:
Due to the increased demand for grooming services, we will no longer be able to squeeze in any last-minute appointments.
Our grooming prices have changed. Our new hourly rate is $100 an hour. **After January 2022, we are requiring that you maintain a regular maintenance grooming schedule for your pet. As always, our prices are all inclusive, there are no add-ons outside of our policy stipulations** Doodles or pups that matt easily or have fast-growing coats are required to stay on a 4-week schedule. All other breeds needing haircuts are ok with a 6 weeks schedule.
Please understand that going too long between grooming appointments causes matting, packed hair and adds extra stress/anxiety and other behavioral issues. A regular grooming schedule will create a better grooming experience for both the pup and the groomer. If your pet is not brushed and maintained at home between grooming sessions, we will automatically add more time to the grooming session.
We will still take shorthaired pups that don't require trimming or require very light trimming with no required schedule, but do recommend at least every 8-12 weeks to maintain a healthy coat.
