Good to know
Darla's opened on 14 February 1996 as a self-service wash only; Tatiana began grooming professionally that June. The shop is named for Darla, the original owner's pit bull, and it is a pit bull friendly place. It has groomed for the same families across generations, and has newly reopened after a remodel.
Appointments are encouraged for grooming because they mean less waiting for your dog or cat, but walk-ins are welcome. Grooming time varies with the work required and how well the pet cooperates.
Self-washes need no appointment at all; the tubs go first come, first served.

Between grooms
The basics for the weeks in between. Picked by PawsRx, not recommended by Darla's Dog Wash.
Cat brushes
Long-haired cats mat first behind the ears, under the legs and on the belly. Short, frequent sessions tend to go better than one long one.

Cat nail clippers
A cat's claws retract, so you press the toe pad gently to bring the claw out before you trim the tip.
