We use only the finest shampoos and rinses, and can provide special services such as flea baths or skink deodorizing. All grooming is done by appointment only.

Toenail trims are also available by appointment or during your pet's boarding visit.

Maisy before her groom.
All grooming is by appointment. Weekdays and Saturday appointments are available. We generally have all pets booked for grooming be dropped off between 8:30 and 9:00 am. Our grooming staff will work on more than one pet at a time - one pet will be getting brushed while another is shampooed and so on. We do strive to accommodate your schedule as much as possible, and have pets spend the minimal time necessary at the grooming salon. All pets are offered water and walked outside during the time they are here for grooming.

Maisy after her groom!
Please call for an estimate on grooming. Rates will vary depending on the breed, coat condition, and size of dog, as well as they type of trim you are interested in. All grooms include a full shampoo, conditioner, brush out, wiping out ears and trimming toenails. Trims are done on suitable breeds per owner request with clipper blade and/or scissors.
A boarding "exit bath" is offered for visiting pets before they return home. This is available for pets that have stayed a minimum of seven days, and there is a nominal fee. It is a shampoo and dry only, and does not include a brush out, trim or toenail trim. Exit baths are available for stays of less than seven days, but there is limited availability. Certain pets have coats which will make them ineligible for the exit bath. Our staff will need to make this determination on an individual basis.
