Frequently Asked Questions

The frequency of grooming depends on your dog’s breed, coat type, and lifestyle.

Generally, dogs with long or thick coats need grooming every 4-6 weeks, while short-haired breeds may only require grooming every 8-12 weeks.

A full grooming service typically includes a bath, brushing, haircut or trim, nail clipping, ear cleaning, and sometimes teeth brushing or cleaning.

We take extra care with nervous dogs, using calming techniques, gentle handling, and allowing more time if needed to ensure they feel comfortable and safe during their grooming session.

Yes, we groom dogs of all breeds and sizes, from small to large, and we are experienced in handling different coat types and grooming needs.

While some groomers allow this, it’s usually recommended that owners do not stay, as dogs can become more anxious or distracted.

However, you’re welcome to discuss any concerns with us beforehand.

Safety is our top priority. We use the latest grooming equipment, maintain a clean environment, and our groomers are trained to handle dogs with care and professionalism.

Let us know about any skin sensitivities or allergies your dog has.

We use hypoallergenic shampoos and products specifically designed for sensitive skin to avoid irritation.

De-shedding is a process that removes loose and dead undercoat hair to reduce shedding.

It’s especially beneficial for dogs with thick or double coats, helping to keep their coat healthy and minimize shedding around your home.
