Visiting the groomer with your pet can be a little intimidating the first time. We’ve outlined the process from calling to make an appointment to your first visit and everything in between! Schedule an Appointment What kind of dog/cat do you have? Please be ready to describe your pet’s breed or similar breed, size, and coat type (ie: similar to a Lab, roughly 60 lb, but has longer hair kind of like a Border Collie.) You might not know a specific breed if your dog is mixed, but giving us similar-looking breeds, size, and coat type will give us a good idea. Have vaccines ready! We require Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella for all appointments.

Dogs fur tends to mat, can drag on the floor and pick up debris, and can cause skin irritations such as hotspots if it gets matted, wet, and sticks to the skin. Some of the furrier guys even stop being able to see when their face hair covers their eyes! Regular grooming care will solve these problems and make you and your pet more comfortable. For short haired dogs, grooming is still just as important. A short haired dog can still have an overwhelming amount of shedding fur in the spring and require professional de-shedding!
