Good to know
All grooming is by appointment only, and dogs are groomed one at a time so their stay is short. Proof of a current rabies vaccine is required for every grooming service.
At check-in the salon gives an approximate ready time and calls when your dog is done. Because the salon is cage-free and not set up for long stays, dogs should be picked up within 2 hours of that call; later pick-ups carry a fee.
Grateful Dog also runs a cage-free daycare and boarding facility in midtown Sacramento.
