Professional Stylist

We have appointments starting at 7:00 am each day until 3:00 pm depending upon the grooming service being performed. Professional grooming sessions can take anywhere from 2 – 6 hours to complete. Our groomers will call as soon as they are finished pampering your pet so you can pick up right away.

Grooming Students

Grooming School Students offer dog grooming at a discounted rate Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday each week. All new guests should note that they may be required to have one of our Professional groomers complete the first groom to ensure your dog would be a good fit for services provided by our students.
