FAQ

Questions, answered

Everything you need to know about booking, prices, vaccines, drop-off and keeping nervous pets comfortable.

How long will my pet be with you?

Most baths take one to two hours and full grooms two to four, depending on size and coat. We don’t book more pets than we can handle, so your pet isn’t waiting in a crate all day. We text you as soon as they’re ready, and ask that you pick up within an hour.

Which size should I book?

Go by weight: Small is up to 20 lb, Medium 21 to 50 lb, Large 51 to 90 lb and XL over 90 lb. If you’re between sizes, pick the larger one. If your dog turns out to be a different size, we’ll adjust the price at drop-off and tell you before we start.

What vaccinations do you require?

Dogs need current rabies, DHPP and Bordetella (kennel cough). Cats need rabies and FVRCP. Puppies can visit after their second round of shots. Please email the record before the first visit or bring it with you.

My dog is nervous or reactive. Can you still groom them?

Usually, yes. Tell us in the booking notes and we’ll book a quieter time, take breaks and use Fear Free handling. We never sedate pets. If a groom becomes too stressful, we stop, call you and plan a gentler approach next time.

What if my dog is matted?

We can work out small tangles with our Dematting add-on. Heavy matting is painful to brush out, so we’ll call you and recommend a short clip instead. Humane care comes before a particular style.

Do you groom cats?

Yes. Ryan, our feline groomer, sees cats in a separate, quiet room on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, with no dogs barking next door.

I have two dogs. How do I book them?

Make one booking per pet. Book the same drop-off time twice, and add both names in the notes. Many of our baths can take two pets at once, so they’ll be ready together.

How do I cancel or reschedule?

Use the link in your confirmation email or call us. Please give at least 24 hours’ notice so another pet can have the slot.

How do I pay, and should I tip?

You pay at pickup by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash. Tips are never expected but always appreciated, and they go straight to your groomer.
