Grooming Policies

Our shared commitment to care

These policies help us provide a safe, calm, and consistent experience for every fluffy guest and their family.

Appointments & Scheduling

  • Submitting a request form does not confirm an appointment. We will personally contact you to confirm availability.
  • We recommend booking in advance, as appointment slots are limited to ensure every dog receives calm, one-on-one care.
  • If you need to reschedule, please contact us as early as possible so we can offer the slot to another guest.

Arrival & Vaccinations

  • Please bring your dog's current vaccination records to your first visit.
  • For everyone's safety, dogs should arrive on a leash or in a carrier.
  • Please allow a few minutes at drop-off to review your dog's needs with our team.

Coat Condition & Matting

  • We assess every coat before grooming begins and will discuss any concerns with you.
  • Humanely resolving severe matting may require a shorter trim. We always prioritize your dog's comfort over length.
  • A final quote is provided after evaluating your dog's coat condition, temperament, and requested style.

Health & Safety

  • Please inform us of any medical conditions, medications, allergies, or behavioral concerns before your appointment.
  • Dogs with a bite history are welcome — please share details so we can prepare a safe, comfortable plan.
  • If a health concern arises during grooming, we will contact you and your veterinarian promptly.

Pricing & Payment

  • Pricing varies by breed, size, coat condition, temperament, and requested style.
  • You will always receive a final quote before grooming begins — never a surprise.
  • Payment is due at the time of service pickup.

Cancellations & No-Shows

  • Please provide at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
  • Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice, or no-shows, will incur a $25 charge.
