Good to know

Little Ark does not use kennels. Dogs play with friends in an open-air space between stages of grooming, and there is a quiet space for dogs that prefer calm.

A CPR-certified specialist is always on staff, and the shop has been renovated and earthquake retrofitted. Gentle, eco-friendly tearless products are used throughout.

The groomers are known for giving the same cut visit to visit unless you ask for something different. Grooming is by appointment.
