How is Full Grooming different from a Bath & Brush-Out?

A Full Grooming service is an all-inclusive package for a complete makeover, including:

  • Haircut and styling
  • Bath
  • Brush-out
  • Nail clipping
  • Ear cleaning
  • Sanitary trim
  • Gland expression
  • Teeth cleaning (if you provide a toothbrush)

A Bath & Brush-Out service offers essential grooming and coat care, which includes:

  • Bath
  • Brush-out
  • Nail clipping
  • Ear cleaning
  • Sanitary trim
  • Gland expression
  • Teeth cleaning (if you provide a toothbrush)

The key difference is that Full Grooming includes a haircut and styling, while the Bath & Brush-Out focuses on maintaining cleanliness and coat health without a haircut.

Can I show my groomer a reference picture for my pup's haircut?

Absolutely! We encourage you to bring reference pictures to help our groomers understand the style you want for your pup. Plus, after each grooming appointment, we take pictures of your pup's fresh look, so you can easily reference them for future visits.

plus icon

If I request to remove part of the bath or haircut service, will the rate decrease?

No, the rate will remain the same even if you choose to skip a specific service. However, if you provide your own shampoo, we’ll waive the $8.50 shampoo fee.

plus icon

How long does a bath or haircut appointment usually take?

Grooming appointments typically last between 1 to 4 hours. The exact duration depends on several factors, including:

  • Your dog’s size
  • Hair type, length, and condition
  • The style of the cut you’ve requested
  • Any add-on services selected

When you schedule your appointment, our team will provide an estimated grooming time for your pup.

How long can my dog stay after their grooming appointment if I can't pick them up right away?

If you’re unable to pick up your dog immediately, we offer two options:

  • Crate Wait: Your dog can wait in a crate in the grooming room. However, we recommend limiting this to no more than 1–2 hours to ensure their comfort and bathroom needs are met.
  • Daycare Playtime: If your dog has previously attended our daycare/pass their meet & greet, we can place them in daycare, where they can play and socialize until you arrive, and add the half or full day of daycare to your invoice!

Please let us know your preference when scheduling your appointment!

plus icon

Are meet-and-greet assessments required for grooming appointments?

Yes, a meet-and-greet assessment is required to use our daycare and boarding services. However, this assessment is not necessary for dog walking or grooming services.

plus icon

How often should I bring my dog in for grooming?

The ideal grooming frequency depends on your dog's breed, coat type, and lifestyle. Here are some general guidelines:

  • Long-coated breeds: Every 4–6 weeks to prevent matting and maintain their coat.
  • Short-haired breeds: Every 8–12 weeks for cleanliness and overall care.

Our groomers can help you determine the best grooming schedule to maintain your dog’s health and desired appearance. Establishing a regular grooming routine ensures your pup stays clean, healthy, and looking their best!

plus icon

Can I request a specific groomer?

Yes, you can absolutely request a specific groomer for your dog! To secure an appointment with your preferred groomer, we recommend checking their availability and booking your next session in advance. This helps maintain consistency and ensures your dog feels comfortable with a familiar groomer.

plus icon

Can you groom dogs with special needs?

Yes, we can accommodate dogs with special needs. Please let our front desk know about your dog's specific requirements when booking the appointment. This allows us to assign the most suitable groomer who can provide the care and attention your dog needs for a comfortable grooming experience.

plus icon

What is the grooming cancellation fee?

we understand that plans can change; however, appointments canceled/no showed within 24 hours of the scheduled time will incur a $50 cancellation fee. This policy helps us accommodate other clients and ensures our groomers’ time is respected. Thank you for your understanding!
