Dog de-shedding is a grooming process that removes dead, loose
undercoat hair from double-coated or heavy-shedding breeds before it sheds in the
home. It reduces loose fur by up to 90%, prevents painful matting, aids temperature
regulation, and promotes healthier skin. It includes:
- Specialized Shampoo/Conditioner: A de-shedding shampoo is used to loosen
dead hair.
- Detailed Brushing: Using tools like de-shedding rakes, slicker brushes, and fine-
tooth combs to remove remaining dead fur.
De-Shedding: $12.50/15min for straight, double coat or short coat
Services may take longer depending on the condition of the coat.
If your large dog is well mannered and you have a proper facility for bathing and grooming, call me to discuss.
Premium Trims: $45 for staight or double coats only
A precise, full-body haircut, often styled to specific breed standards or customized to the owner's preference, including detailed scissor work.
If the dog is heavily matted, an additional charge of $30 for small and $40 for medium will apply.
Cat Grooming
Cat lion cut & brushing
LION CUT: $80
The lion cut is a popular grooming style for long-haired cats, such as Maine Coons. It is especially convenient for cats that dislike being brushed and helps prevent the formation of mats. This style is not recommended for short-haired cats.
CAT BRUSHING: $60
When the seasonal coat change begins, regular grooming is essential to prevent matting and to reduce excessive shedding throughout the home.
For long-haired, or dense coats, an additional charge of $15 will apply if matting is present.
IMPORTANT GROOMING POLICIES:
-
I will not park on the street, due to the inconvenience of time and carrying my equipment. Please ensure a free parking lot or driveway is available.
-
For small dogs, I use a suitable sink in your home (kitchen, laundry, or bathroom).
-
For medium dogs (up to 50 lbs), I bring a portable tub and set up near a water supply and drain. I connect the hose to an appropriate faucet without disassembling it. Setting up in the bathroom is preferred because of water drain access via the tub or shower.
-
For first-time clients, please send photos of the faucet and drain location in advance so we can confirm the setup before my arrival.
-
Based on my professional experience, I will not groom a dog or cat whose fur is severely matted and adhered to the skin, as this can cause serious skin injury or tearing. In such cases, I strongly recommend seeking care from a licensed veterinarian only.
-
I will not groom dogs or cats that have fleas, for my own safety and the safety of my pets at home. This will be confirmed with you prior to the appointment.
-
Shaving services are only provided for dogs with curly or wavy coat textures. Dogs with other coat types will not be shaved.
-
Puppies should not be shaved before 5–6 months of age, as it can damage the growth of their adult coat, result in poor regrowth, and increase fear or stress related to grooming.
-
Aggressive dogs or cats will not be groomed under any circumstances.
-
Grooming on temperamental dogs can proceed only if the owner is present in the home for the entire appointment. The temperament of the dog must be discussed prior to the work.
-
Please send a photo of your dog or your cat, as it helps me assess their size and the condition of their coat prior to the appointment.
-
Cancellation fee of $50.00 for cancellations made less than 24 hours before the appointment
-
Services are offered five (5) days per week, according to the following schedule:
