First-time Client: What Do I Need to Bring to My First Appointment?
Dog: Collar, leash, proof of rabies (a screenshot or photo works just fine), and treats, especially for puppies! We don’t carry our own treats because of the amount of pets we have with allergies/health conditions so please bring your own if you’d like your pup to have them :) If possible, please make sure your dog potties outside prior to entering the salon.
Cat: A carrier, proof of rabies (a screenshot or photo works just fine), and treats if you’d like your cat to have them during their groom :)
Feel free to also bring in photos of any specific cuts/styles you like and we can discuss at drop off the specific haircut that we will do, based on your preferences, the condition of the pet’s coat/the specific hair type, and the pet’s behavior during grooming.

How Long Does Grooming Take?
This can vary widely by the species/breed/service, but most dog baths are about an hour, dog full grooms are about 1.5-2 hours, and dog nail trims/face trims/al a carte services are about five minutes. For cats, brush outs and spot shaves are about 15 minutes, lion cuts 30 minutes, baths 45 mins-an hour, and nail trims are about five minutes.
We do schedule based on estimated time so when you book, pay attention to any texts that come through to see the estimated duration of the service, and we will also quote you at drop off! We do try to send a 15 minute heads up text before we finish as well, so you always know what to expect.

Rough Pricing Estimates by Breed/Service
We charge by the hour and timing is dependent on the dog’s size, behavior, the specific cut/style, and the condition the dog comes is in when they come. Because of this, pricing can vary, but below is an average pricing list by breed just to get an idea of what it may be for your dog. Feel free to text us a photo of your dog to get a more accurate quote!
