Frequently asked questions

• Will my pet have to be up to date on vaccinations?

  YES, you will need to provide a current copy of your pet's rabies certificate, along with the name and phone number of your veterinarian.

• How long does it take for my pet to be groomed?

  Most short-haired dogs take about an hour to groom. Dogs with long hair and/or mats will take longer.

• How do I schedule an appointment?

  Most calls will be returned in the early evening hours. You are encouraged to leave your name & address, breed and age of pet, when last professionally groomed, and any special treatment required via voicemail or email.

• How often should my pet be groomed?

  Generally, your pet should be groomed every 4 to 6 weeks. You should try to 'lock-in' a recurring appointment to avoid long delays.

• My dog is heavily matted. How long will it take you to de-mat him?

  We will not de-mat a pet that is heavily matted. De-matting is very painful for your pet and very time-consuming. We believe grooming should be enjoyable, relaxing and pain-free.

• What if I miss my appointment?

  If you are not able to keep an appointment, you must let us know at least 24 hours in advance or you will be charged a service-call fee of $25.

• What if it snows? Will you still plan to groom my pet?

  Generally, if snowing heavily, the van is not driven until roads are cleared. We will contact you and reschedule if necessary; however, every attempt will be made to keep your scheduled appointment.

• How much does it cost?

  Our grooming fees are based upon time spent on your pet. Since all pets are different, grooming rates vary and depend upon your pet's temperament, condition of coat, and services needed.
