How long will my dog's
grooming take? We usually tell clients to plan on 4 hours,
larger dogs can take even longer. We like to take our time so
we can do a beautiful job on everyone and your dog will remain more
relaxed if he/she doesn't sense we're in a rush. Please try to allow
us all the time we need to do the job right.
If you
need your dog finished quickly, it is imperative that you inform us
when you make the appointment so that we can plan accordingly.
Likewise, if you won't be available to pick up your dog right away
when we call, please let us know at the time you book the
appointment since some nights we close earlier than
others.
We strive
to make the grooming experience a pleasure for your dog. Dogs
are taken out for "potty" breaks on a regular basis, given plenty of
access to water, treats, toys, lots of love, and individually
allowed to romp in our playroom while awaiting pick-up by their pet
parents. According to our customers, many of our dogs actually look
forward to their day at the "spa".
Occasionally, like us, a dog can have a "bad" day and
be a little difficult. Rather than physically restrain him
(which usually just irritates him more), we find that giving him
lots of "time-outs" from grooming, keeps him (and us) calmer and we
are able to get the job done. This often results in the dog being
with us for more than 4 hours.
Additionally, dogs that are extremely matted or have
skin problems will take longer so we can address these
issues. It can take twice as long to remove the hair from
a badly matted dog since we have to go much slower to prevent
injury to the dog. Dogs with skin problems require extra time
for medicated treatments to work.
How often
should my dog be groomed? A typical
grooming for long haired breeds is approximately every 4 to 6
weeks.
Do you groom
cats? No.
Do you use
tranquilizers? No! We find that most animals respond very
well to gentle but firm kindness, lots of love, and yummy treats.
Do you board
dogs? No, we operate a day care only during business
hours. If you have to leave your pet overnight, we recommend a
Pet Sitter as it is less stress on your dog. Our favorite is
