Professional Dog Grooming
Haircut & Bath - Our Pro Groomers specialize in breeds that require more complex cuts, shaving, or styling. Usually these breeds have longer hair, require facial trimming, and/or have curly hair that requires shaving over certain other areas of the body as well. Prices vary based on coat condition, style of cut, breed, and behavior.
Our Haircut & Bath includes: A haircut, full bath, facial wash, brush out, ear cleaning, hygienic expression, and a nail trim.
Bath & Brush: Our House Groomers specialize in caring for dogs with shorter hair but who require all the same other basic grooming maintenance needs as their more complex furry friends. Prices vary based on coat condition, breed, and behavior.
Our Bath & Brush Includes: a full bath, facial wash, brush out, ear cleaning, hygienic expression, nail trim, and feet/feather trimming (if required for their breed).

Our Grooming Process
Thorough Brush Out: Removes all the dead hair. A necessary step to effective bathing.
Anal Glands Expressed: Regular and frequent expressing assures healthy glands.
Ear Hair Removal and Cleaning: Healthy ears need frequent cleaning to prevent infection.
Double Scrub and Rinse with Hydro-Therapy The most thorough bath available.
Complete Blow Dry: Prevents chills, fluffs the fur, and reduces future shedding.
Final Brush Out and Trim: Ensures all the loose hair is gone and the feet and feathers are trimmed to reduce tracking water and mud.
Potty Break & Water Break: We'll need it.
Report Card: We will look over your pet and report any signs of potential problems.
Instructions on What You Can Do to Keep Your Pet Happy and Healthy: We'll gladly show you how we made your pet look so good and instruct you in how to continue the care until the next grooming.
Additional Policies
Grooming No-Show/Late Policy: Due to high demand for appointments, a grooming appointment is considered a no-show and cancelled if they do not arrive within 15 minutes of the originally scheduled time. For professional grooms that are a no-show, we will require a $20 deposit in order to book the next groom. This deposit will apply toward the next groom, but is non-refundable in the event of another no-show. An A-La-Carte service is considered a no-show and cancelled if they do not arrive within five minutes of the originally scheduled time.
Aggression/Bite Policy: If a pet shows significant human-aggression or bites a team member, we will notify the owner immediately and may request immediate pick up from either grooming or boarding. Owner will be responsible for all boarding/grooming services rendered up until that point. We reserve the right to refuse future service for the safety of the team and pet.
Matting Policy: If a dog is found to be extremely matted and needing to be shaved close to the skin, very short, or an otherwise drastic change, we will describe this to owner at check in. We will then confirm once more after dog has been evaluated, by calling the owner and explaining the exact length it will be shaved to, what parts of the body, etc.
Flea Policy: We do not require pets to be on flea preventative, however if we find fleas at any point we have the right to treat the pet at our discretion and the owners’ cost. We will make every attempt to reach the owner, but in the event we cannot, we will use either a flea shampoo of our choosing or a Capstar flea pill. The pet will be isolated from other pets while in our care until fleas are resolved.
