A: Yes! We adapt the session length and equipment for age and temperament. Our "Puppy Introduction" and "Senior Calm" treatments are designed to make the experience safe and comfortable.
Q: What if my dog has allergies or sensitive skin?
A: We offer hypoallergenic shampoos and can adapt products to your dog's needs. Just let us know when booking.
Q: Do you groom dogs with contagious conditions (eg, kennel cough, parasites)?
A: For the safety of all dogs, we cannot accept dogs with contagious illnesses or parasites. If we notice symptoms, we'll recommend rescheduling after veterinary clearance.
Whether you have a puppy, senior, nervous rescue dog or a show star – we adapt to your four-legged friend. Our goal is for every customer (two- and four-legged) to walk out the door with a smile and a wagging tail.
