COMMUNICATE CLEARLY
Be prepared and specific: say “1/2 inch” instead of “short,” “ears rounded,” “tail long,” etc. Take notes on what you liked or didn’t for next time. It may take a few grooms to get it just right, but it will get there! And groomers never take it personally if you want changes!
BRING A PHOTO
Bring a photo of a style you like or take one after a groom you love. Clear shots of the face, feet, side, and back will help your groomer match it. Ask your groomer to note the style and tools used. Staying with the same groomer will also help, as your groomer and pup will get to know each other over time, it will improve the result.
KEEP UP WITH MAINTENANCE
Proper care between grooms is key to getting the results you want. Most grooming breeds need a professional groom every 6–8 weeks plus daily or weekly brushing to keep their coat mat-free and healthy. Not sure what your pup needs? Just ask! Our groomers are happy to create the best plan for you and your pup.
HUMANITY BEFORE VANITY
Not everyone has time to brush their dog every night. That’s okay. Some breeds, like doodles, may need more upkeep than expected. Ask your groomer for an easy-to-maintain cut. Having your beloved pup comfortable should always be more important than what they look like.
Our mission is to revolutionize the dog care industry by elevating the experience for every pup and their human through every service we provide. Because everyone deserves a place they trust for their pup. Great grooms start here.
