Although many pets behave very well for grooming, there are those who are not
the “little angels” we think them to be for the groomer. All animals have
different personalities just like us, and we welcome this. However for the
safety of both the groomer and the pet, we will not provide services for any
aggressive animals and we reserve the right to refuse or turn away service.

"Commonly
Asked Questions about Grooming"
| Q. |
How often should I have my dog groomed? |
| A. |
This depends on three things: type of
breed, activity of the dog and what level of cleanliness the owner
can tolerate for the pet. A general rule of thumb is 4-6 weeks. A
short, flat coated such as a lab or boxer can go a month or longer
than a shitzu or Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier whose fur needs a lot
more brushing and maintenance. These types of dogs should be
groomed every 4-6 weeks to prevent matting or else the grooming
becomes more difficult. In general, longer hair dogs should be
brushed on a regular basis in between grooming appointments. Keep
in mind all dogs no matter what breed, should be groomed on a
regular basis to maintain healthy skin and coat.
|
| Q. |
Is there anything for dogs with dry
skin and dandruff? |
| A. |
Luckily, with so many great products
out there for dogs, problems with irritated skin and dandruff can
be treated successfully in the salon. Lack of proper nutrition or
allergies can be the source of this problem. See your veterinarian
if symptoms worsen or do not improve.
|
| Q. |
No matter how often I brush my dog, he
still gets knots and is matted. What am I doing wrong? |
| A. |
At home brushing usually only gets the
top layer of the coat and does not get through to the undercoat
and mats unless you thoroughly brush and comb the hair all the way
through. I will be happy to show you the proper brushing and
combing techniques with the correct tools for you to use at home.
|
| Q. |
I am afraid of leaving my pet with the
groomer. Will my pet be safe from other animals? |
| A. |
I certainly identify with the fears of
leaving “your baby” with a stranger for any given minute. It
is important for the client to feel good about handing over their
pet to the groomer with confidence. Proper grooming techniques are
always introduced with a gentle and sensitive approach which I
believe and abide by. Every pet is kept in a separate cage which
is thoroughly cleaned daily. We also do our best to guarantee
minimal cage time for every animal. Your pet will enter the salon
avoiding any confrontation with other pets to ensure their safety.
|
| Q. |
When should I get my new puppy groomed? |
| A. |
I recommend grooming your puppy after
he has received all his vaccinations usually at around 3-4 months
old. Early introduction to grooming will help your dog become
accustom to the grooming process which will alleviate any anxiety
they may have. We strive to see that puppies have a great experience
the very first time they are groomed. We want them to feel at ease
when they go to the groomers to prevent any unnecessary stress. We
suggest that you play with your puppies paws and face as much as
possible. This will help with our grooming process.
