Good to know

LOBO charges grooming by the hour instead of itemizing add-ons, and every groom is full service to your specifications. Necessary work such as dematting or deshedding is part of the hourly rate, and your groomer confirms a quote at check-in.

There are no crates and no drying cages: every dog is dried by hand. The groomers are trained for older, deaf, blind, arthritic and diabetic dogs.

For a puppy's first visit the goal is a gentle introduction: nails, ears, a bath and blowout, blueberry facial and a light tidy, usually without a full haircut. LOBO recommends a groom every six to eight weeks.

  • Lick mats

    Lick mats

    Something to lick, stuck to the tub wall or the floor, keeps a lot of dogs still for a bath or a nail trim.

    Non-slip rugs and runners

    Hard floors are where older dogs slip. A runner along their usual route gives them grip.
