What goes into your quote
Every groom includes the same complete service — wash, hand blow-dry, haircut and styling, deshedding, facial scrub, ears, nails with Dremel, sanitary trim, and paw pads. What varies is the time your dog needs, and that's what pricing reflects:
- Breed and coat type. A short-coated beagle and a full-coat doodle are different afternoons.
- Weight. Bigger dog, bigger bath, more drying time.
- Coat condition. Matting takes careful extra work and carries an additional cost — telling us honestly up front means an accurate quote and no surprises.
- Special situations. Fleas, seniors, sensitive skin, or dogs who need extra patience: mention it and we'll plan for it.
Why we don't post a price list
Because it would be wrong half the time, in both directions. Owners often guess their dog's breed mix or underestimate matting — a posted price that changes at the van door helps nobody. A two-minute message with breed, weight, and a photo gets you a real number instead.
