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.

Pepe Le Pew – DeskunkingWith this package, your dog will receive a soak and rigorous scrub with our odor destroying shampoo. Next, we will treat your pooch to a full Spa Bath with our signature shampoo to bring back freshness and sheen to your dog’s coat. Finally, a specialized leave-in spray will be applied that will neutralize any remaining odors as the coat dries to remove any trace of skunk. | $100 |
Flee Fleas! – Flea BathHave fleas taken over your pup? Let’s make them FLEE! Using our specialized all natural shampoo and specific tools, we will rid your dog of those pesky little buggers and soothe agitated skin with a deep coat conditioner. | $100 |
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.
Rabies – Required
Distemper – Required
Bordetella – Required (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.
Cancellations
- We require credit cards to be on file for all grooming clients.
- Cancellations are accepted up to 24 hours prior to an appointment. Cancellations within 24 hours of reservations must be done via email or phone.
- Cancellations within 24 hours on the day prior to the scheduled service will result in a $25 fee that will be automatically charged to your credit card.
- Same day cancellations and no shows will result in a charge of the entire fee for the reserved service.
- Please remember that our groomers work on commission; last minute cancellations do not allow them time to rebook with another client.
