NEW CLIENTS

My client list is officially closed. This is hopefully a temporary measure to allow me to catch up on creating custom schedules for my existing client list, and to find room for those awaiting their first booking. Client applications remain open, however all applications received from Dec 2020 onward are waitlist applications. They will be pulled in the order they are received, and you will be contacted once there is an appropriate appointment slot available  within a reasonable timeframe for your pet/s. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you incur any issues with submitting your application. Wait times will depend on duration of appointment required for your pet/s as well as your availability for appointment scheduling. Current availability for those on the waitlist is between 6 and 12 weeks. 

Location, Parking and Client Entry

We are located on Coldwater Avenue, across from Home Hardware. You can access the salon from either River Street or Chapman Street through the rear lane. Our sign is visible from both directions. I recommend entering from Chapman with larger SUV's and trucks, as well as in wet or snowy conditions. This allows you to exit your vehicle onto our cleared parking area, instead of the middle of the lane, which can get muddy/icy. It also provides me drivers side access to retrieve your pets from the vehicle for you. 

Please Also Note

The salon was built with your pet as the primary focus. It is approximately 150 sq ft divided into two separate rooms. I do not have a waiting area, or holding area for pets. A 15-30 minute pick-up window is provided with all appointments. Adhering to drop-off and pick-up times as closely as possible helps keep the salon running smoothly, and ideally eliminates the possibility of coming into contact with another customer. Avoiding distractions, such as other pets or people, also allows the salon to be as safe and low stress as possible.

One on One Appointments

Your pet deserves our full, undivided attention! That's why we only book single pets/households at a time. This is particularly beneficial for senior pets and reactive/anxious pets.

Services

Bath & Brush

Includes two scrub-downs with premium shampoo to ensure that squeaky-clean feeling, gentle towel and hand drying, a short brushing, ear cleaning, nail trimming, a spritz of cologne and a bow or bandana. Also included, but optional, a foot trim and pad shave, sanitary trim, face tidy-up, and ear plucking.


Premium Bath & Brush

Includes all services provided in the Bath & Brush package PLUS an extreme de-shedding treatment. This entails a shed treatment conditioner that helps to loosen every last strand of undercoat, and a very thorough brushing to ensure all the loose hair comes out in the salon and not on your sofa!


Tidy Trim

Includes everything in the Bath & Brush package PLUS trimming of the leg featherings, pants, tail, any "sticky-outies" and full face trim if required.


Full Service Groom

Includes everything in the Bath & Brush package PLUS a full body "shave-down". This is an all over trim in any clipper blade length.


Premium Groom

Includes everything in the Bath & Brush package PLUS a full body trim at ANY length. This can include one length all over OR any patterned trim. This covers all breed trims and non-breed specific patterns like daisy trims (shorter on the body and longer on the legs).


Puppy Grooming

Puppy's first salon experience is a big milestone, and we'd love to be there to help them every step of the way. That's why we offer special packages for your little ones. See our pricing link below for more information on Puppy Packages!


A-La-Carte Services

A-La-Carte Services are available without a full appointment. Simply call or text to ensure we are available to perform the requested service. Since almost all stand alone services take under 15 minutes, we don't mind seeing you on short notice! A-La-Carte Services include (but are not limited to); Nail Trimming, Nail Grinding, and Ear Cleaning/Plucking. See our pricing link below for a full list of available services and their prices.


Add-On Services

Add-On Services are upgrades or additions to Bath & Brush, Tidy/Full Service, Premium and Puppy Baths/Trims. They include (but are not limited to); Upgraded Shampoo, Remoisturizing Treatments, Tooth Brushing, Nail Grinding, Additional Brushing, or a Spaw Package (Three services for the price of two, carefully selected to meet your pet's individual needs). See our pricing link below for a full list of available services and their prices.

*Pricing for grooming services can be roughly estimated via text/email or pre-groom hands on assessment, but due to the many variables involved in grooming, no price can be finalized until completion of the service

Looking for Prices?

Approximate bath/grooming quotes are available by request.


To ensure a more accurate price quote, please provide as much information about your pet's appearance, personality and your desired grooming style preferences as possible. Photos of your pet or of previous grooms are both helpful and welcome!
