Any Questions?
Yes, our salons and mobile vehicles are equipped to handle small and large pets. The pet must be able to stand on its own.
Depending on the coat structure, how long you like to keep the coat and how much brushing you do between grooms, most dogs are best maintained with 4-6 week grooming. Doodles with their soft curly coat require more frequent groom. Cats can generally be done every 3-6 months.
We recommend waiting until the puppy coat is at least 3-4 months old before cutting.
Yes. We offer standing appointments to ensure the day, time and preferred stylist can be available.
Most grooms for smaller pets take 1-1/2 hrs. Doodles and larger or thicker coated pets can take 2-3 hours. The longer between grooms and the thicker the coat the more time intensive.
Frequent brushing. Wearing a collar that rolls. Avoiding long periods of wearing sweaters. Never get matting wet. Bathing a matted dog only makes the matting tighter.
Yes – it has heat and air for all year climate control and the water is all heated.
The mobile vehicle carries fresh water and has generator power so we only need a place to park.
No however, please disclose any known injuries or illnesses that may affect the grooming process and safety of your pet and the stylist. We require that your pet has state mandated vaccines.
We try to provide the best estimate based on breed and information given when setting appointments however, if the pet is larger or smaller than breed standard or the coat is matted or a significant pattern change is required incurring extra time we will advise of the new estimate on site. Further, if you choose add ons on site that estimate can be revised. Gratuity is discretionary but averages 10-20% of services.
We do not administer any type of medicine. However, if your vet has prescribed a sedative, please follow those instructions and advise us so we can watch for any unusual behavior while grooming.
Our experienced and compassionate groomers are waiting to help you and your pet have the most comfortable experience possible.
We believe that your best friend deserves the best care. Come see us to get your pet the care it deserves!
