I work, could you still groom my pet?

Keep in mind, after the first groom, if things go well, you do not need to be home in order for me to groom your pet.  Just like hiring a pet sitter, we will come in, groom the pet, and leave the house as we found it.

Where will you bathe and style my pet?

The best location will be decided when we arrive for the appointment. 

Small pets can easily be bathed in a utility or kitchen sink, or the bathtub.  Large dogs can either be bathed in the tub, or outside with the hose (weather permitting).  The grooming can be done anywhere that you have ample space and an electrical outlet - we typically set up in a bathroom, kitchen, garage or deck.

What is the NDGAA Certification?

 As of 2010 there is no requirement for "vocational licensing" or certification of pet groomers. Hair stylists for people? Yes. Animals? No.

Certification typically involves voluntary written and performance testing focused on the aesthetic value of your grooming based on the pet's breed profile as set forth by its individual breed standard. Consumers may gain more confidence knowing that a groomer has been certified by a reputable organization, and certainly it will distinguish the groomer as being far removed from amateur status.

What vaccines do you require?

The only requirement is that your pet be current on its Rabies vaccine.  Since your pet will not be coming into contact with any other animals during it’s grooming, We do not require any other vaccines. 

However, We do strongly encourage you to follow the health plan suggested by your veterinarian regarding vaccines.

Please ensure that your pet is healthy enough to withstand the grooming process.  If the groomer feels as though an animal is sick or otherwise unable to withstand the stresses of grooming, we will reschedule your appointment for another time
