  • How often should I get my dog groomed?

    The grooming frequency for your dog depends on its breed, coat type, and lifestyle. Generally speaking:


    • Long-Haired Breeds: Should be groomed every 4-8 weeks to prevent matting and keep their coat healthy.
    • Medium-Haired Breeds: Typically need grooming every 8-12 weeks to maintain their coat and skin health.
    • Short-Haired Breeds: Can go 8-16 weeks between grooming sessions, as their coats are easier to manage.
    • Double-Coated Breeds: Require grooming at least 2-4 times a year, especially during shedding seasons, to manage their undercoat and reduce shedding.
  • How long does a grooming session take?

    A typical grooming session lasts between 2-4 hours. The duration depends on several factors:


    • Your Dog's Size and Coat Condition: Larger dogs or those with more complex coats may take longer.
    • The Services Requested: Additional services like nail trimming, ear cleaning, or special treatments can extend the time.
    • Your Dog's Behavior and Cooperation: A calm and cooperative dog will generally be groomed faster.
    • Whether Additional Treatments Are Needed: If your dog requires extra care for issues like matting or skin conditions, it may take more time.
  • Do you offer special services for puppies?

    Absolutely! We provide "puppy packages" designed to introduce young dogs to grooming in a gentle and positive manner. These shorter sessions help puppies get accustomed to being handled and the grooming equipment, making future grooming experiences more pleasant.

  • What forms of payment do you accept?

    We accept both cash and all major credit cards. Please note that payment is required at the time of pickup.

  • How can I maintain my dog's coat between appointments?

    To keep your dog's coat in good condition between grooming sessions, we recommend:


    • Regular Brushing: Choose a brush suitable for your dog's coat type to prevent tangles and mats.
    • Keeping Your Dog Clean and Dry: Regular baths and ensuring your dog stays dry can help maintain coat health.
    • Using Appropriate Grooming Tools: We can recommend specific tools that are best for your dog's coat.
    • Addressing Tangles and Mats Promptly: Deal with any tangles or mats as soon as you notice them to prevent them from worsening.
