Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Once a new customer sets an appointment and comes to our salon to drop off their dog or cat we go over their pets' health, shot records and how they would like their pet groomed. We ask lots of questions! It is very important to us to groom their pet in the style the customer would like, when possible, as we consider the comfort of the pet. All of our full groomers include bathing, brushing, haircut, nail trims, ear cleaning and when needed anal glands. The pets are usually with us 3 to 4 hours.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I, personally, attended grooming classes in a professional salon. I have also learned from professional handlers and breeders at dog shows. My groomers have all attended grooming schools.
