A small pup groom is usually  1-1.5 hours and a larger pup groom is around 1.5-2 hours. 

We groom each pup straight through to ensure their visit is as stress free and enjoyable as possible!

There are a variety of things that can cause your pup to seem anxious when coming to be groomed including: anxiety from the outdoors (car horns, airplanes, other dogs), excitement, fear of leaving their pet parent, or not being positive as to where they are at. It is also important to remember that your pup is going to pick up on how you feel, so if you are anxious, or babying them more than normal they may be concerned as to why and reflect your emotions. When meeting with your groomer, it is important to remain calm and reassuring and demonstrate confidence to help your pup feel secure and calm. Usually once their parent leaves, they become enthusiastic about all of the new smells and do great! 

​

It's great to have your pet groomed every 4-8 weeks depending on their coat type and preferred length. Pups who keep their hair short are recommended to come in every 6-8 weeks whereas pups with longer hair need more regular visits, every 4-6 weeks, for coat maintenance and to prevent matting.  Not only is regular grooming good for your pet's health and hygiene but keeping them on a good schedule and routine helps to decrease their stress and keep them acclimated to the grooming process.

We have found that pups become anxious and wiggly when they know their parent is there and tend to get overly excited as they think it is time to leave. For their safety and due to insurance purposes, we do not allow pet parents to be in the grooming area.
