Very Important Puppy Package

The best way to introduce your new puppy to grooming! It's extremely helpful to slowly introduce your curious puppy to the groomer, which is why we created this package. First session is Free. Each session includes Puppy Conditioning, in which we use the process of introduction to all tools and processes through smell, sound, sight, and touch. Sessions are as follows:

​

1. First Introductory SESSION--the puppy spends some time at the salon, getting used to the noises and smells, being on the grooming table and in the tub, being handled  and brushed by the groomer and hearing the sound of the high velocity blowdryer. We will play with his feet a little and introduce him to what it will be like to get groomed. This session typically will only take about 15-20 mins.  

2. Fluff and Puff (bath and blow dry) We like to schedule this session about a week after the first introductory session so the puppy still remembers coming in here and what it was like. In this session, your puppy gets introduced to the bathing and drying process through a repeat of the smell, sound, sight and touch process. This session typically takes about 2 hours, depending on the dog. We take our time here to make sure the puppy gets to explore these processes and does not become over stimulated. If you'd like to add on a face/feet/fanny trim,  a feather trim, or a full haircut to this session, we can also do that--it just would depend on your puppy's comfort level and if he is ready for the hair cut. 

​

We do recommend you wait until your puppy has had all his shots so that it's safe to be around other dogs, which is typically around 16 weeks. After that, especially for doodles, it's important to get him in as soon as possible to get him used to the grooming process, even if it is just for baths. Please do not wait until your doodle is already one year old and has never had a haircut and has matting! This is an essential part of owning a doodle. It is up to you, the owner, to make this a good experience!

​

Cost depends on type of dog and size at time of appointment, but the First Introductory Session part of the package is always free! Please call for a price estimate on your VIP package. 

Exercise Package

Need to leave your dog for more than one hour after we have finished grooming? We've got you covered. Your dog will be treated to a walk on the bike path, a treat bag, and plenty of water. To keep stress levels to a minimum in the shop, we typically ask that your pup be picked up within an hour of us finishing the groom. However, we totally understand that sometimes you are caught up on the mountain cruising through some of our champagne powder, or stuck at a work meeting, or at your kid's soccer game. We created this package just for your and your peace of mind. Your pup will be taken care of while at our shop.

*Please do not leave your dog for more than 4 hours after finishing the groom. We do not have space to keep your pup here all day. 

Services offered as an Add-On to Any Bath/Grooming Package

These are offered as drop-in services. You may stop by anytime during business hours without an appointment.

Cancellation & Punctuality Policy

This is an appointment based grooming salon. We do our very best to have your pets groomed as quickly, comfortably, and beautifully as possible. We respect your time and the time your pet spends in here and we hope that you can do the same for us. 

Because we are holding your appointment slot for you, a cancellation with less than 24 hours notice will still be charged in full for the appointment. If you miss 2 appointments without notifying us, that is terms for us to terminate our client relationship with you if we so choose. 

There will be a $15 late fee added to any appointment showing up more than 15 minutes after the time scheduled and $1/minute thereafter. If you are later than that, we may not be able to get your dog groomed and you will be charged in full for a missed appointment. 

​

If you need to leave your dog for more than an hour after he has finished his groom, let us know and we will schedule your pup for the Exercise Package (see above for description). Please do not leave your pup here for more than half a day because even though we love spending time with your pup, we are not a daycare facility and do not have the space to keep your dog all day. 

Thank you so much for your understanding and support in making happy and calm pets and people!
