Rough Grooming Estimates: Prices are based on one on one grooming services and on pets that are groomed regularly. Prices are subject to change based on time of groom, clean up time after their groom, coat type/condition, age/weight, flea treatment and temperament. Estimated timing may differ depending on coat type/condition, dematting, deshedding, skin conditions, age/weight, fleas, dry time, temperament and type of haircut. Grooming is very circumstantial and mostly based on the condition of the pet, temperament & time! If there’s more work than it will be priced accordingly. Before the groomer knows the dog, their condition & quirks- prices are rough estimates and may be subject to change!

Face feet and Sani: face trim, pads, feet trim, nail grind & sanitary areas----------- no body trimming and no bath - 30-35$ (30 mins) This is a great in-between service for pups who grow fast and is also a great first service for puppies to ease them into a grooming routine! Discounts: Haircut Without Bath Discount: If interested in this discount the dog needs to be bathed the night before or completely dry coming in, so the cut comes out correctly. Depending on the dog it’s a 10-15$ discount. This is a great service to minimize groom times for older dogs and puppies. Excludes double coated breeds, matted dogs and extremely curly coats because it is important that they get blown out with a professional dryer, unless looking for a short clip. Puppy Discount- Puppies under 8 months old will receive a discount depending on size, time and temperament. Roughly 5-15$ off. We recommend starting regular grooming at 3 months old! If you do not qualify for one of these discounts or are not interested in them, Keep in mind, the more often you come in and the better shape they are in, the better the price will be! Questions we ask new grooming clients: What breed? If it’s a rare breed or a mix, we ask- What does it resemble? If it’s a rare breed or if it’s a mix - estimate a price based on what breed down below it resembles most but this is a rough estimate! Before the groomer sees the dog and its condition - it’s hard to make accurate estimates, prices below are based on dogs groomed regularly. Once we know the dog and how often they come in we can set a regular price! If it’s a breed prone to matt or extremely thick breed- How long since your last professional groom and condition of the coat? Can you get a comb down to their skin? How regularly do you comb your dog out? If in bad shape, we charge accordingly and book roughly 30 minutes of extra time then the listed time estimates so the groomer can get used to the dog and know their quirks. Quality over quantity! Flea prevention and the possibility of fleas? What’s the temperament of the dog? What’s the dog's weight/age? Allergies? Skin conditions? Medical issues? Medication? Type of clip? puppy cut doesn’t really mean anything other than one length all over. We ask what length you would like to leave your dog - if it’s a full body haircut, or if it’s a light trim or tight trim, or if its breed specific. Feel free to bring pictures! Cancelation Policy and Timeliness: Please give notice 24 hours in advance if you need to cancel or reschedule an appt. Last Minute Cancelations and No Shows, after the first time, will be a 25$ fee. We welcome dropping off a little early if needed. If more than 30 minutes late we may need to reschedule depending on how busy the day is, either way a 10$ charge is added to the groom whether taken in late or added on to the rescheduled appt. Rebooking Schedules: How often should my dog / cat get groomed? Depends on the breed and type of haircut! 6 weeks—If the dog is left in a long clip and tends to matt, then I highly suggest a 6- week rebook. This rebook will keep your dog always feeling and looking well groomed. **If the dog matts easily I suggest, 6-week groom and 3-week brush out or an 8-week groom with a 4-week brush out** 8 weeks— If the dog doesn’t tend to matt and the coat is easily manageable for the client. With long haired cats it’s good to do every 8 weeks so they get used to it unless they are getting shaved then it’s unnecessary. Some dogs can go over 12 weeks without grooming, like your typical bath dogs but If it’s a groom dog, the price will be higher if they are in bad shape. The more often a grooming client comes in the better the price will be because there’s less work. All dogs should get their nails done every 8 weeks to keep the quick from growing out, if you want to push back the quick come in every 3 / 4 weeks even if it doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of nail there, it’s the only way to do it comfortably over time without making the nails bleed. Matt Prevention: Some breeds matt very easily, and some double coated breeds can become impacted with undercoat! A good example are doodles and big double coated breeds. If it’s a recurring problem I suggest coming in more often for grooming and possibly in between brush outs! It’s important to comb them weekly at home if they tend to matt, making sure the comb touches the skin all over. Especially if they get wet, once they dry, they should be combed out. A lot of pet parents believe their dog isn’t matted because they surface brush with the wrong brushes. When brushing at home, always finish with a comb to make sure it’s completely brushed out down to the skin. Combs are key for matt prone and double coated breeds. The more often they get brushed the easier it becomes! It’s important to brush out your dog, if in good shape, it helps regulate your dog’s body temperature. Matting and excessive undercoat doesn’t keep your dog warm in the winter, it can become very uncomfortable for them, their skin always needs to breathe to regulate their body temp! See above for suggested rebooking schedules. More about Matting: When it comes to severe dematting- we always talk to clients to consult before shaving, if it’s a double coated dog it might take a while but it can mostly be blown and brushed out, but curly coats can reach the point of no return. If we can’t brush it out because it’s too much and its making the dog uncomfortable then we will call you to consult. If there’s a large surface area that needs to be dematted then it will most likely need to be shaved for liability and comfort reasons.
