Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I usually book a new customer on a slow day so that i have more time to meet and get to know the dog rather then having to be in a rush .
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am certified , went to the academy of pet grooming in 2012 .
Before that i worked as a pet grooming assistant along side of a master groomer for 2 years before i decided to become certified.
I owned a grooming salon for 5 years before i decided to venture off and do the house call thing .which i love and prefer because the dogs have a better experience being in the comfort of their very own home .
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
Prices start at 70 depending on the condition of the dog and maybe the type of hair cut customers ask for . everything is included .clip the nails , clean ears, haircut and bath are all included in the price . some service requests are a little extra not much for example teeth brushing also anal glad expression.
I dabble a little bit in dog training. But I do not charge . if you have any questions feel free to call me. I'll guide you , talk to you ,let you know what to do pretty much either when I go to groom your dog or just over the phone. I'll give you advice and or answer any questions you have . free of charge
How did you get started in this business?
Ive wanted to be a pet groomer since i was a kid .I used to play pretend dog groomer with my stuffed animals .One day After retiring from my EMT job , I was walking down the street and stopped at a petshop .Asked the groomer if he was looking for help .The whole thing started from there . Working in a shop as an all around helper/ assistant , Watching how everything was done i was inspired. My grooming career started from there .
What types of customers have you worked with?
Ive worked with customers with all types of requests and with dogs that have all different types of health conditions even aggressive dogs . i may not groom overly aggressive dogs .
Ive worked with very rich and very poor people .i treat everyone they same . every dog gets special treatment from my assistant and I.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I do all sorts of charity events . most recent was my doggy santa pictures event and halloween costume party for dogs . money goes to different shelters in the nyc area .
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Always ask to see credentials . ask to see proof that they are certified . there are alot of uncertified groomers out there that are not knowledgeable in first aide and cpr should there be an emergency . it is one of the first things we learn in grooming school .
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
First question should always be .are you certified and for how long?.
Ask what kind of shampoo the groomer uses .
Ask the groomer if he or she is knolagable in anal glad expression. And or whatever type of health conditions your pet has if any . examples are ( blind dogs) (anxiety)( separation anxiety) (arthritis) ETC...
