Getting your doggroomed can be a costly endeavor. Some grooming shops offer the bare minimum for a set price (say $45 for a haircut and shampoo), then pile on additional services (nail cutting, special shampoo, conditioner, etc.), so when the grooming is finally complete, what started off as a $45 job ends up costing $70 or more. In this sluggish economy, many dog owners simply can't afford to regularly spend $70, or more, on their dog's grooming. As an aside, |

His hair had become "felt"...basically his body hair tangled together into one big blanket surrounding his entire body. Why is this dangerous to the health of your pet? Well, here are a few reasons: 1) The matted hair can trap moisture, bugs, fleas, bacteria and other nasty things. |

We're often asked to give a dog or cat a flea bath, with no haircut. With our current pricing structure, we charge the bath and brush price, then add on the cost of the flea bath. For example, a bath and brush for a Shih Tzu may go for $32, then we add on the $10 flea bath charge, for a total of $42. Some customers will question why they're being charged $42 for "just a bath". Well, it's not "just a bath". Here's what's involved, and why we charge what we do: |
