Good to know

City Dogs is a kennel-free salon that tailors each appointment to the dog. Final prices depend on size, coat condition and length, behavior and age, and the groomer confirms the quote at check-in.

Express appointments can be arranged ahead for dogs that need a shorter visit because of age, health or temperament. Two or more dogs can be booked together so two groomers are available.

The salon never sedates dogs and will not accept a dog given a sedative or CBD. Brachycephalic dogs are never kennel dried, and kennel dryers have no heating elements.

Rabies must be current, and dogs should wait 48 hours after any vaccination before a visit. Puppies start with a Signature Bath or Touch Up.

Please collect your dog within 30 minutes of the call that the groom is done; late pickup is $20 per half hour. Staff also mentor students from Life Learning Academy and the Mayor's Youth Employment and Education Program.
