FAQs
Does brushing really matter?
The answer is yes, yes and yes! If you brush the coat of your dog in between grooming appointments the dog and groomer will love you. Brushing prevents matting and reduces shedding, making the grooming experience better for all.
What if I am not satisfied with my dogs fur-cut?
Please let your groomer know if you are not satisfied. The groomer will ask you to bring in additional reference material for the grooming that you are envisioning. Some grooms are not completely possible to achieve, depending on coat, size, breed, age and temperament. The groomer will work with you to achieve a style that is possible and approved by you.
How often should I groom my dog?
Breed, body shape and coat are the determining factors. You can consult with our groomer to determine the best grooming routine for your dog. It is recommended to book an appointment atleast once a month for either grooming or bathing, depending on the variables above. Intermittent brushing can lessen the need for full grooms.
Is my dog to young for grooming?
Grooming sessions typically begin around 12-16 weeks of age, after the last cycle of vaccinations have been administered. Full grooms may not be conducted during the first few appointments and the groomer may recommend an introductory groom instead. This will allow the puppy to become familiar with the tools during light trims, sanitary cuts, and bathing/drying cycles. Introducing the grooming process slowly will allow for a more satisfactory life long grooming experience for the dog, groomer, and owner.
