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.
