What makes your grooming unique?

My grooming services are unique because I provide one-on-one attention in a calm and serene environment, ensuring each dog feels comfortable and cared for. I will work carefully and thoughtfully on desensitizing your dog to the grooming progress rather than pushing them past their comfort level if they are nervous. I use different techniques such as playing relaxing music called through a dogs ear and pheromes that mimic those of a their mother prior to weening. I am a Certified Dog Groomer, Positive Approach Canine Education Instructor, Pet First Aid Certified with a Vet Tech Assistant background so that you can also feel comfortable. 

When do I bring my puppy for the first time?

Exposing your puppy to grooming early on is the best approach. Aim to bring your puppy to the groomer for the first time in the weeks following their last set of puppy vaccinations. If your already past that window of time then there's no time like the present for your pup to gain experience in the grooming salon.

Why get my dog on a grooming schedule?

  • Getting your dog on a grooming schedule will ensure you get an appointment when its needed.
  • Your dog will not have to endure long grooming appointments to get them back to good condition which in turn is more cost effective in the long run. 
  • Regular grooming reduces odour, shedding, skin and coat issues.
  • Regular expouser to grooming makes for a more comfortable experience.
  • Less at home maintance is required. 
  • They always look and feel their best!

How long will my dog be there?

Typically 1.5 to 2.5 hours. But depending on the service(s) requested your dog will be with me between 30 minutes and 4 hours. I will not go over 4 hours on any grooming appointment for the welling being of your pet. On the rare occassion that the service is not completed within 3 to 4 hours I may ask that you return with your dog another day in order to complete. This could apply to very large overgrown dogs, matted dogs, farm dogs and fearfull dogs needing lots of breaks.

Will my dog(s) be the only one(s) at your studio for my appointment?

Yes! I book 1 dog at a time or multiples from the same house hold.

Will my dog reactive dog come in contact with other dogs?

No! I groom one-on-one, meaning one dog at a time in the studio and space between appointments to avoid interaction with other dogs.
