The salon is open Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, with the last appointment at 4:30 PM. It prefers bookings two weeks ahead and books your next visit at pick-up.
All dogs and cats need a current rabies shot. Pets are hand dried with force and hand dryers, never sedated, and you are welcome to bring your own shampoo. An extra fee applies for pets that are very hard to handle or severely matted.

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.
