FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Barking Mountain Pet Styles House Call Grooming Service starts at $60-$65 for small/toy breed full service baths, and goes up depending on many factors, including breed, age, weight, coat type and condition, behavior, groom type requested, and location.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Barking Mountain Pet Styles generally requires an in-home consultation (always free of charge) prior to scheduling your pet's first grooming appointment. We prefer to spend that time getting to know your pet and helping you, the pet parent, chose a grooming style that will best fit your pet and your lifestyle! At your pet's first appointment, we want to be sure that our focus is entirely on your pet and their comfort.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Rachel Mongno has been working with dogs in the pet styling industry for years! She was employed as a Groomer's Assistant for a local salon for 6 months before beginning her apprenticeship under a Certified Master Groomer, and after her apprenticeship, Rachel began grooming dogs on her own. Over 8 years later, she's still excited to meet new pups and try fresh styles. Continuing education is important, as the field of pet styling is ever-evolving. Barking Mountain Pet Styles focuses on continuing education through regular educational seminar attendance and global networking with trade/industry specialists.
