Good to know
Mary has groomed professionally since 1991 and opened Mary's Dog House in 2001, with a background in obedience training, AKC competition and rescue.
Bathing uses a massaging pump system, then a high-velocity dryer and fans at room temperature, with no heat drying.
The shop is closed Sunday and Monday and grooms Tuesday to Saturday by appointment; nail trims and other a la carte services are walk-in. Allow several days for a weekday and at least a week for a Saturday; prebooking up to 6 months ahead is available.
Current rabies vaccination is required. Severely matted dogs are clipped short, and extra charges may apply for matted, aggressive or special-needs pets.

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.
