What to expect, how to plan, what happens during the day


I'll run down a few little details to make your and your pets experience as smooth as possible!


You have your appointment booked, whats next? I try to make the visit as home like as possible and for their duration of their stay. I am in the same room with them for most of their stay as well. Coming into any new environment can be an exciting yet uncertain experience for your pet, but understanding what to expect can help alleviate any anxiety and ensure both you and your pet have a postitive experience. Lets breakdown some of the details.


Appointment Scheduling

Since I am home based it does allow for more flexibilty to accomodate busy lifestyles. I do ask for all drop off and pick up times to be set ahead of time. Of course things can happen, so stay in communication with me if things change during the day.


Check in Process and /consultation

Upon arrival, you may be asked to go over your intake information to make sure we have everything correct and make sure nothing has changed with your pets health. Feel free to share any pictures of styles or make requests for add on spa services.


Bath Time!!

Usually the first thing that happens is a bath!! All baths are not created equal and are taylored to fit every dogs individual needs. A variety of bathing techniques are applied which can help with every type of fur situation. Several types of drying methods are used.


Nail trimming and Ear Cleaning

Nails are trimmed and buffed. Ears will be cleaned to remove wax and debris, including hair removed within pets tolerance level. This is essential for your pets health and comfort.


Brushing

Before every haircut comes a very thourough brushing or de-shed. Your pets coat must be brushed and combed before I can clip or scissor. It is at this time if I finds mats present I may reach out to you to discuss any changes to agreed upon styling. If its determine its humanity over vanity case, I do reach out before trimming hair down shorter then expected, but will not de-mat dogs other then cutting mats away from the skin. I wish I had a magic potion to remove mats, I really do, but since I am not a magician, I remove them the humane way and do a reset haircut.


Haircut

Your pets haircut includes a sanitary trim, feet trimmed, face and all over body trim. Scissors and clippers can take some pets quite awhile to get used to and I provide breaks when needed, this allows them to remain calm during their stay. Over time many pets become so accustom to this routine they know when I get the final spray and finshing touches on they are ready to go!! It is quite amazing how they remember the routine of everything!


Pick up time!

At pick up time, Ill take payment and reschdule your next appointment, then your pet will probably be ready for a potty break outside. Thank you for trusting me and letting me provide this amazing service for your pets!!!
