How Long Does the Grooming Process Take?

Our pet-centered approach to grooming is focused around a fabulous experience that ends in an even more fabulous groom! We take the time before every appointment to discuss your preferences and pet’s needs so we can be sure to give them an amazing groom that you and they will love. Please allow for around 2-3 hours per pet appointment to allow us the time to take care of your pet with the kindness and gentle skill they deserve.

We try very hard to stick to three hours or less. With large or matted dogs, however, it may take a little longer to groom them safely and efficiently.

Will My Dog Be Caged?

Each dog is kept in a safe and sanitized personal kennel according to the AKC Safe Salon standards when they are not being groomed. This is not only to maintain a sanitary salon space, but for their safety as well as the safety of any other dogs in the salon at the same time. We pride ourselves on maintaining a safe, sanitary and comfortable space for all dogs on and off the grooming table.

Will My Dogs Come into Contact with Other Dogs?

Each pet is pampered with individual attention. Unless a family has multiple pets that come in together, all dogs will be separated.
