Full Service Grooming
Our Full Service Grooming packages are all inclusive. There is no need to add-on upgraded shampoo, conditioner, or nail filing. It is all in the package. We do not offer Anal Gland Expression, Ear Hair Plucking, or Flea Treatment. For details of why we do not offer these services click here.
Bath $80-100+
This is for smooth coated or long haired dogs without double coats. It includes a bath with shampoo and conditioner best suited to your pet's skin and coat type, towel off and blow dry, brushing out and comb through, ear cleaning, and nail trimming or grinding.
Double Coated pets automatically receive the De-Shed Bath as it is more appropriate for their coat type and skin health.
De-shed Bath $90-110
This is for dogs with smooth or double coats. Double coated dogs automatically receive a de-shed bath in order to thoroughly groom them. This is best practice and helps avoid the coat becoming impacted and causing skin issues. It is optional for smooth coated pets to help decrease shedding. It includes a bath with shampoo and conditioner formulated to stimulate hair follicles and release undercoat, towel off and blow dry, extra brushing and comb through with coat specific de-shed tools, ear cleaning, and nail trimming or grinding.
Trim & Tidy $100-120+
In addition to a Full Service Bath this includes light trimming around the eyes, feet, and sanitary area. If more thorough trimming is desired you must select a Full Haircut or inquire about our Hand Scissor service.
Full Haircut $110-180
In addition to a Full Service Bath this includes an all over body haircut with a clippered length and a scissor finish with the face, ears, tail, and feet in a style of your choice. If you desire a length longer than the clipper attachment combs provide you should inquire about our Hand Scissor service.
Prescription Bath $10
This applies to pets who have shampoo prescribed by their veterinarian. Medicated shampoo takes longer to apply due to the soaking time. The shampoo can also leave residue on the coat and skin that is not conducive to a good coat finish. This requires extra attention to the haircut. We are not liable for any reaction your pet may have to the provided prescription shampoo.
Specialty Services
Specialty services do not qualify for online booking without a consultation. Your groomer will add these services to your appointment and invoice as needed after a consult. These services are considered a Specialty Service do to the specific skill and time requirements.
Hand Scissor Haircut $100/hr
Hand Scissored haircut in lieu of a clippered haircut for when requested hair length and design is longer or more detailed than the clippers and attachments can accommodate.
This service is only offered for well maintained dogs that do not need mat removal. If matting is a recurring issue, we suggest a shorter clippered length to make your pets coat easier to maintain at home.
Hand Stripping or Carding $160/hr
This grooming method is breed specific and, while generally healthier for the skin and coat, it is a high maintenance grooming method requireing more frequent appointments to maintain.
Some mixed breed pets have coats complimentary to this method.
We currently offer pet maintenance grooming which involves shaving flatwork and paw pads and hand stripping or carding the remainder of workable areas. You can opt to forgo any shaving if you'd like to maintain the flatwork at home.
We do not maintain Show Dogs. The time and cost ratio for maintaining showable coats is not conducive to our business model. We highly suggest finding an experienced handler, or learning this skill from your breeder, if you intend to show your pet.
Mat Removal $15/15mins
When a dog's coat maintenance is neglected and tangles form into matting, it requires removal or de-matting. If the matting is not too severe it can be removed with more tedious and careful brushing and combing. If the mats are too tight to the skin, or if the skin is too sensitive to tolerate the extra brushing required the mats will be shaved out.
Stand-Alone Services
Stand-Alone Services offer necessary maintenance right to your doorstep without needing to book a Full Service Grooming.
Stand-Alone Services can also be added to an existing full service grooming appointment. For example: You can add your cats nail trim to your dog's haircut appointment.
A $50 minimum applies.
Nail Trimming $20
Nails are clipped and then filed smooth with a rotary tool and contoured diamond bit. Nail grinding is complimentary, but only performed if the pet is cooperative.
Ear Cleaning $15
The ears are flushed with a liquid ear cleaner and then wiped with cotton swab to remove oils and debris. Please inform your groomer if your pet has a perforated eardrum so special care can be taken to avoid injury.
Nail & Ear Combo $30
Nail Trimming & Ear Cleaning services are bundled.
Mobility Accessory Application $50
This includes the APPLICATION ONLY (NO PRODUCTS PROVIDED) of orthopedic assistance/mobility devices such as nail bands or adhesive paw pad grips. Clients provide orthopedic accessories. Consulting your veterinarian before use of these products is highly recommended.
