We spend about two hours clipping and bathing each animal and can usually provide pet owners who live a distance quick in and out services with prior notice. However thick and coarse coated animals in full coat may take extra time drying especially since we use newer dryers that do not have a hot heat setting.

We do not want to intentionally sell pet products that are sold elsewhere for lower prices, we strive to sell at the best prices. 

Some people feel we are their only hope. Some animals are so old, with rippled skin, matted fur, and little or no balance. We have to be careful with everything we do to provide safe grooming, especially for the most vulnerable animals.

A significant number of customers for years have been traveling great distance (even out of state). A veterinarian referred us to a customer who had a Lhaso Apso has not had a haircut for 7 years and was encased with matted hair from head to toe and looked like a mummy. We provided a safe and successful grooming.

There was a woman who worked in a veterinarian office and rescued an injured a poodle mix breed. The poodle had an operation on its leg and had to end up getting a cast, we clipped and bathed the entire animal without getting water into the poodles cast. The owner and veterinarian were astounded.

In another case, we have been grooming a highly aggressive Bishon for years. The owner said we were the only ones who could handle him. The Bishon has sustained a back injury and can no longer use his back legs. The first time after the injury, he arrived in a carrying device because the dog would bite the owner when she tried to move him. The dog was matted and saturated in dried urine. We skillfully moved him around as we clipped and bathed him without injury to us or the animal.

One customer attended grooming school, but gave up the goal of grooming as a career. Both before and after her grooming training, she traveled to and from our shop in a cab for years until the dog died from old age, despite the fact that she lived only 2 blocks away from another grooming shop and could have easily walked there.

We groom by the traditional old school methods. We blow-dry soft coats by hand for extra beauty and comb and hand-scissor the fur many times for a smooth, even finish. We prefer not to take shortcuts and provide 2 to 4 times more labor per animal than many other shops.

We can bathe, clip, cut & grind nails, and scissor providing a full service grooming on many animals for $70. However, if the animal is difficult to handle, aggressive, very matted, extra long fur, or needs specialized grooming we will provide exact pricing once a pet owner arrives. In addition we do not require vaccination or any other records in order to groom your pet!

We will color the head and tail with temporary color for light coated animals for no extra cost.
