The grooming frequency for your dog depends on its breed, coat type, and lifestyle. Generally speaking:

• Long-Haired Breeds: Should be groomed every 4-8 weeks to prevent matting and keep their coat healthy.
• Medium-Haired Breeds: Typically need grooming every 8-12 weeks to maintain their coat and skin health.
• Short-Haired Breeds: Can go 8-16 weeks between grooming sessions, as their coats are easier to manage.
• Double-Coated Breeds: Require grooming at least 2-4 times a year, especially during shedding seasons, to manage their undercoat and reduce shedding.

A typical grooming session lasts between 2-4 hours. The duration depends on several factors:

• Your Dog's Size and Coat Condition: Larger dogs or those with more complex coats may take longer.
• The Services Requested: Additional services like nail trimming, ear cleaning, or special treatments can extend the time.
• Your Dog's Behavior and Cooperation: A calm and cooperative dog will generally be groomed faster.
• Whether Additional Treatments Are Needed: If your dog requires extra care for issues like matting or skin conditions, it may take more time.

Absolutely! We provide "puppy packages" designed to introduce young dogs to grooming in a gentle and positive manner. These shorter sessions help puppies get accustomed to being handled and the grooming equipment, making future grooming experiences more pleasant.

We accept both cash and all major credit cards. Please note that payment is required at the time of pickup.

To keep your dog's coat in good condition between grooming sessions, we recommend:

• Regular Brushing: Choose a brush suitable for your dog's coat type to prevent tangles and mats.
• Keeping Your Dog Clean and Dry: Regular baths and ensuring your dog stays dry can help maintain coat health.
• Using Appropriate Grooming Tools: We can recommend specific tools that are best for your dog's coat.
• Addressing Tangles and Mats Promptly: Deal with any tangles or mats as soon as you notice them to prevent them from worsening.
