Our goal is to provide your pet with a comfortable and safe grooming experience. All grooming
appointments are made to ensure your pet is groomed start-to-finish - this means your pet will not be
in a crate. The groomer will give your pet sole attention during their appointment and will call you as
soon as your pet is finished.

Because our grooming services are appointment-based, it is very important for you to be
prompt or
early
for your appointment. Because we only groom one dog at a time, any late appointments will
affect our schedule adversely.If you are more than 10 or 15-minutes late for your appointment, it will
be rescheduled.

Due to the set-up of our facility, not every dog will do well in our grooming program - our space is
very small and located next to our daycare program. Even though there is a door between the
grooming room and the play room, if your dog is extremely nervous or aggressive with other dogs,
our grooming services will not work well for your dog.
Also, all of our dogs are dried on the table here - we do not dry any dogs in crates. Therefore, all dogs
must be comfortable with the dryers on the table. We also are only able to accept dogs that can be
safely handled and groomed by (1) person. If you don't feel that your dog is a good fit for our
program, we would be happy to recommend other options for you!

Each pet leaves our shop happy and beautiful - sporting a seasonal bandanna or bows and a report
card to hang on your fridge!
Our grooming shop is brand-new and we have state-of-the-art equipment. We use high-quality
biodegradable shampoos and products. Nothing but the best for your pet!
We also offer
Pet Coloring/Dying Services! Inquire to see if we have your desired color available!

Due to our busy schedule at this time, please call in advance for your pet's appointment - we are not
always able to book a same-day appointment. We also are not accepting any new cat clients.

What you will need to bring to your pet's appointment:
1. Please bring a copy of your dog's vaccination records. We require all dogs to be current on their
Distemper, Parvo, and Rabies vaccinations. If we do not see proof or speak to your veterinarian to confirm
that your dog is current, your dog will not be groomed. We accept titers in lieu of vaccinations.
2. Detailed instructions of desired trim for your dog. If you have someone else drop your pet off, please
have them be able to explain how you would like your pet styled.
3. Please drop off your pet at our BACK ENTRANCE (located in the parking lot behind our building and
easily accessed off of School St. or Menotomy Rd. There is ample free parking, feel free to park here.)
4. Please have your pet on-leash! We have a lot of traffic in the back parking lot and want your pet safe!
5. If you have not submitted our
Service Agreement online, please allow a few minutes to do so when you
arrive for your pet's appointment. No service will be performed without a completed Service Agreement.
