Grooming

Expert Haircuts

Let our professional groomers style your dog any way you want!

Our premium grooming service incorporates a soothing Spa Bath, which includes a nail trim & filing, anal gland expression, a gentle ear cleaning, and of course the haircut and style of your choice. Please note that final pricing is based on coat length, thickness, and prior maintenance.

Poodles and Doodles are priced differently from other breeds due to the increased length of time our groomers spend working on their intricate coats. We want to ensure every poodle and doodle is returned to mom and dad looking ready to walk the red carpet.

Haircuts generally take 2.5 to 3 hours to complete from drop off time.

Vaccines

Please note that we will need vaccination records prior to your appointment. You may email or upload them to your customer profile.

As a gentle reminder, at Healthy Hound it is the customer’s responsibility to provide vaccination records in order to use our services. Our staff is not responsible for calling vets.

RabiesRequired
DistemperRequired
BordetellaRequired (6 month vaccine highly encouraged!)

For Grooming Only appointments, please contact us directly prior to your appointment if your dog is not currently vaccinated with Bordetella or Distemper. We will still be able to accommodate, but will need for you to sign a waiver.

Additional Fees & Terms

  • While we try to give every dog the best, most relaxing grooming experience possible, in the event of an uncooperative and/or aggressive dog we will do all we can to ease them through our process, though a special handling fee of up to $50 may be added, after consulting with the owner.
  • Up to 30 minutes of brushing is included in our pricing. Should your dog require longer than 30 minutes to be brushed out, $1 per each additional minute will be charged.
  • Note on Matting: Mats are often a problem with some dog coats; many mats can be eliminated with special tools and patience, while others will need clippers. However, if your dog is heavily matted, we may not be able to provide a bath, and may give you the option to have your dog shaved prior to bathing.
  • Multi-dog discounts are not applied for grooming services.

Late Appointments & Cancellations

  • Our groomers rely on our clients to arrive on-time for their appointment. We will do our best to accommodate late arrivals up to 10 minutes late. 
  • We require 24 hours notice for all grooming appointment cancellations. Cancellations within 24 hours of an appointment must be done via email or phone.
  • No Shows and cancellations within 24 hours of appointments may result in required deposits for future services.
  • Deposits for grooming services are forfeited for no shows or if the service is cancelled within 24 hours of the appointment.
  • Please remember that our groomers work on commission; last minute cancellations do not allow them time to rebook with another client.
