These are my starting prices according to breed. A starting price means average size according to breed, average coat according to breed and coat in good condition (minimal matting, minimal to average amount of dead undercoat, no de-skunking needed). Up to 15 minutes of brushing/ dematting is included in the starting price, with additional charges applying thereafter. Also, upon request, I do hand-stripping of rough-coated breeds. The price of hand-stripping is $65/hour. If you are concerned about the prices, please get a quote before grooming.
The following prices include a double bath, crème rinse, anal glands expressed, nails trimmed, ears, eyes and face cleaned and cut of your choice

I want your puppy's first few visits to be as pleasant as possible and I will make every effort to do so by starting with the most simple of haircuts. Your puppy should enjoy grooming. If you teach your puppy some basic commands, and to be still for brushing, professional grooming will be much easier for both pet and groomer. Tearless shampoo will be used for your puppy's safety.
Additional fees from $10-$50 may apply for aggressive or difficult pets that need special handling.
I will use extra care and patience for older pets; however, I will not be held responsible for any reaction due to the mental or physical stress of grooming the geriatric pet. If, in my opinion, the grooming is determined to cause too much stress to your pet, I will modify or terminate the grooming. Please be sure to notify me of any health concerns that may make your pet uncomfortable during the bathing, drying, or clipping process.
If a grooming client is not picked up by closing time 6:00PM, the pet will be boarded at the rate of $20.00 /night until released to owner. If the pet is not called for within fifteen (15) days of stated time of return, I have the right to dispose of pet as I see fit (in most cases, placement in a suitable home) within ten (10) days after this period. The owner will receive one (1) notification by registered mail during this period...no further notice will be given.
