Professional Dog Grooming
Regardless if you prefer a breed standard trim, 'puppy cut', or handstripping, our groomers are well-skilled and experienced. Our goal is to keep your dog comfortable and safe. We use only premium products and top of the line equipment - absolutely nothing but the best for your dog!
We are well-versed in teaching young puppies how to comfortably accept the grooming process through positive reinforcement training techniques. We accept puppies as young as 8 weeks for grooming and we recommend booking your puppy's first grooming appointment before the age of 12 weeks. Young puppies are incredibly trainable and it's much easier to learn about grooming at a young age!
Our grooming room is small and cozy and your dog will not be left unattended or away from the groomer at any time. We have a large parking lot adjacent to our grooming room for your convenience. All of our grooming dogs are dropped off and picked up at our back entrance, please do not come to the front door.
All dogs are required to be current on Distemper / Parvo as well the Rabies vaccine (if over 6 months old). We accept Titres in lieu of vaccinations. If you'd like to book an appointment, please fill out the grooming form at the bottom of this page and someone will be in touch!
Most dogs don't love being groomed, but we do our best to provide your pet with the most gentle and positive experience possible. Therefore, we do not over-crowd our grooming room and book appointments so your groomer can focus solely on your dog. Due to our unique scheduling, we do not accept walk-ins for grooming services.
