Good to know
Petropolis is a boarding, daycare, training and grooming business; the grooming salon is built to be low-stress, and groomers and bathers are educated in animal behavior. Grooming is force-free: breaks are taken as needed, and anxious dogs can have longer appointments.
Most grooms take 2 to 3 hours. Grooming can be booked on its own or added to a boarding or daycare visit. Dogs need current rabies, distemper (DHPP) and bordetella vaccinations.
The facility is open Monday to Friday 7:30am to 6:00pm and weekends 8:00am to 5:00pm; those are facility hours rather than set grooming hours.

Between grooms
The basics for the weeks in between. Picked by PawsRx, not recommended by Petropolis St. Charles.

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.
