Good to know
One dog at a time in a calm, gentle setting. At check-in the groomer looks at the coat, how long it has been since the last groom and how your dog handles grooming, and recommends a plan from there. Price depends on coat condition, temperament and the haircut, so it can change from visit to visit.
New clients, or anyone who hasn't been in for a while, fill out the new client form on the salon's site first; allow about a week for a reply.
The salon opens at 9:00 am Tuesday to Saturday, and hours vary with appointments. Text ahead for walk-in services after 2 pm. Parking is behind the building on Rowley St.

Between grooms

Lick mats
Something to lick, stuck to the tub wall or the floor, keeps a lot of dogs still for a bath or a nail trim.

Non-slip rugs and runners
Hard floors are where older dogs slip. A runner along their usual route gives them grip.
