FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our pricing is all-inclusive, meaning we don't charge extra for necessities like nail clipping & filing, teeth brushing, special shampoos, etc. A clean pet is a healthy pet! To insure that every dog we care for is comfortable and feeling his/her best, we require clients to be on a 2-, 4-, 6-, or 8-week schedule. All pricing quotes are given on the basis that the dog will remain on schedule and thus have no knots, matting, or discomfort in the process. Our prices range from $45 (a bath & tidy for a chihuahua) to $140+ (full grooms on Labradoodles, Standard Poodles, etc).
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Every new client must fill out the New Client Application Form located under the "appointments" tab on our website prior to booking an appointment. We will then call the client to discuss Fido's grooming needs. All of our products are all-natural, eco-friendly, and aloe-vera based. Every dog also receives complimentary aromatherapy.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
There is no licensing or formal training required to open a grooming business. However, there are various organizations and grooming schools that provide certifications, testing, seminars, etc year-round that groomers can choose to partake in. We have been grooming for 6 years having done an apprenticeship under various groomers at two different grooming salons. We are active, registered members of the National Dog Groomer's Association of American & are currently certified in Long-Legged Terriers (Schnauzers, Airdale) and pursuing the title of National Certified Master Groomer. We show & specialize in the Shetland Sheepdog breed. We also provide ear-training services for Sheltie & Collie puppies to ensure they get that beautiful, perfect tip! We compete in grooming competitions every year at the NDGAA's yearly grooming convention, "Fun In The Sun". We also attend various grooming seminars throughout the year to ensure we are up-to-date on the latest styles, products, and safety measures for your fluffy friend!
