Our Policies 

Below, you’ll find our salon policies, designed to help keep every pup safe, comfortable, and well cared for during their visit. Not every policy will apply to every pup; some are simply here for those special circumstances when a pup arrives with a particular coat, skin, health, or behavioral need.

These policies help us communicate clearly, make thoughtful decisions, and always put your pup’s comfort and well-being first.

Service Aggreement

This is our basic agreement that applies to all incoming pups; its policies apply to all appointments. 

Matted Pets

This agreement pertains only to pets that have matting that we deem significant. 

Senior & At-Risk Pets

This agreement is both for older pets and those that may be medically fragile. 

What to Expect

Wait-Times

For our pups receiving haircuts, we ask for approximately 2–3 hours to complete each service. This timeframe may fluctuate depending on any matting found, the pet’s general condition, and multi-pet families.

If you would like your pup done as quickly as possible (i.e., without any waiting between the groom and bath), we offer an express service.

Flea Policy

If live fleas are found on your pet, we will perform a flea bath to kill and remove any fleas found on the pet. Live fleas pose a risk to all other pets in the salon; therefore, a flea bath is non-optional under these circumstances.

Puppy Appointments 

For a puppy’s first haircut, we recommend a “Puppy Trim.” This introductory service is designed to acclimate your pet to their first grooming experiences. It includes a nail trim, bath, dry, and trimming of the face, feet, and sanitary areas.

Whether a pup is ready for a full haircut is at the discretion of the staff working with the pet. Some puppies need multiple Puppy Trims before they are confident enough for a full haircut.
