DOGS |
||
|
We offer expert dog
grooming of all breeds. We do puppy cuts, lion cuts in
addition to all breed cuts and handstripping for broken coated
terriers.
We have provided grooming
since we opened in 1989. Our groomers use tender loving care and patience
when grooming your dog. We do not use sedation or anesthesia during grooming.
Rates depend on breed, condition of the coat and disposition. Appointments are required.
Keep in mind that if your pet is severely matted, we will cut his
hair short. Extensive dematting is painful, if not torture, on
your pet.
Home grooming is very important in between professional grooms. When bathing your pet, be sure that all knots are brushed or combed out. Small knots or snags, can turn into carpet matts that tighten and pull up the skin when wet, essentially scalping him. It is can be very uncomfortable or painful so please be sure to comb out your dog before he hits the tub. Nails are important to keep short. If too long, nails can curl and pierce the pad, or dogs that make a habit of walking on their nails can get arthritis. Dogs that are walked often grind their nails down and are naturally short. Still, nails should be routinely checked. Play with your dog's paws often to get him used to having his feet handled. |

CATS |
|
|
We started grooming
cats 16 years ago. Today we have built a large, yet loyal clientele list.
Whether your kitty has gotten into something smelly, or she hasn't seen
a comb for a while, we can help. We do not use anesthesia. Although cats themselves are very good groomers, sometimes they need some help. Older and overweight cats lose the ability to groom themselves. Owners of shorthaired cats know that their cats shed just as much, if not more than the longhaired cats. Brushing and combing regularly can also reduce those unpleasant hairballs caused by the cat swallowing hair. Longhaired cats can get tangles that when left alone; they can turn into tight, painful matts. These matts are difficult to get out. If you acquire a new kitten, be sure to start conditioning her to the grooming process early. It may not be necessary at this time, but the kitten will get accustomed to the daily routine and will enjoy the extra attention. |
