Pet Grooming

Appointments are necessary for professional grooming. By scheduling appointments, our professional Groomer ensures she has the time needed to meet with each client and provide the best quality grooming service possible.

Our Groomer has the patience and care to tend to most any dog or cat with special needs. She can work with old pets, pets with disabilities, or even pets that are anxious or nervous. It is important to mention any special needs when making your pet’s appointment so our staff can make any needed accommodations for your pet’s appointment.

Between 10 and 12 weeks of age is a good time to bring a puppy into the Salon. This gives the pup a chance to become familiar with the Salon environment and get used to being handled by a professional Groomer.

The key to maintaining your baby’s stylish appearance is finding the correct brush or comb to use at home. It is equally important, though, to know the best way to properly use those grooming tools. During your grooming consultation, our Groomer can give you advice and show you methods for grooming your pet at home.

This depends on the breed of your pet, their type of coat, and the desired style. Typically, most dogs are due for regular grooming every 6 to 8 weeks. Some dogs can go 12 weeks between grooms or longer. Be sure to ask our Groomer for her recommendations. You will also receive grooming reminder notices when it is time for your pet’s appointment.

You will drop your pet off at the Salon generally between 7:00 AM and 9:30 AM Monday through Saturday, or 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM on Sundays. Our Groomer will call you when they are ready. Typically pets are ready for pick-up between 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM. Of course, if your day requires a specific pick-up time our Groomer would be glad to make those arrangements with you at drop-off.

Yes, grooming lingo can be confusing. At The Animal Den, a Resort Bath is the sudsy wash, rinse, dry, and brush out which is what most people think of in terms of bathing a pet. Our Resort baths are typically performed by our Salon Assistants and Resort Team Members. The Groom, on the other hand, is a dedicated time with a trained and certified professional groomer. The groomer will complete all aspects of the bath and, in addition, will beautify your baby with the trim, clip, or style of your choice. Our groomers also offer the deshedding treatment and are expertly equipped to address any grooming needs of your pet. Rest assured, all guests of the salon are in good hands.

We employ talented pet groomers who often specialize in different aspects of grooming. Some might groom cats, others do not, some like to do color styling, others do not. We afford our employees to make their own creative choices about the services they offer which they feel our clients will most appreciate. While our salon menu does change, our dedication, quality, and care for your precious baby does not.

Yes, there are oodles of doodles everywhere! While most doodles do require regular, consistent grooming, the care of their beautiful coats can be challenging. When you factor in the breed variations of doodles, it is hard to predict or plan their grooming requirements. We highly recommend you schedule a consult with our groomer to discuss your particular doodle’s grooming needs which vary as they age and their coat changes.

Our professional Groomer gets very up close and personal with your pet. It is possible for her to notice things about your pet that you have not yet noticed yourself. This is one of the greatest advantages of professional grooming. Health conditions that might otherwise be hidden can become suspect when examining a pet during a groom. There are also a few pets that can become very aggressive when handled during grooming and our Groomer may recommend veterinarian care. Rest assured your pet’s health and safety are our first concerns.
