Frequently Asked Questions
Requirements:
All dogs being groomed must meet the same requirements as any dog that we care for, irrespective of service. This includes the fact that your dog must be up to date on his vaccinations prior to his appointment.
How long does it usually take?
If the hair needs to be cut, we ask that you allow at least 3 hours so that Stacie can wash, dry and cut the hair. If the hair is matted it may take more time. If there is no scissoring, it generally takes less time. If you like we can call you as soon as Stacie is finished so you can pick up your pooch up right away, or we can cabin your pooch until you are able to pick him/her up.
Can you groom my dog to the breed standard?
Yes, Stacie is familiar with the most of the breed standards and is very experienced with the more popular breeds. If you want to get your dog groomed to the breed standard, it is helpful to review with the groomer the breed page in the “All Breed Dog Grooming Guide” and/or bring pictures. Each dog is different and each person‘s needs vary, so a consultation can help you know your options and decide accordingly. May require additional charges.
My dog's hair is knotted. Do I need to cut the hair short?
If the hair is allowed to knot or develop "matts", this is unhealthy for the dog's skin. Knotting gets worse if the coat gets wet. Before washing the dog, it is necessary to brush out all the knots. If the hair is matted, it may be possible to "dematt" the coat. Unfortunately, this can be painful. In some cases, dematting may cause or reveal skin irritation. If your dog is matted, we will advise you what can be done. Otherwise, we may recommend cutting the hair short, which means applying the clipper behind the matts. If the hair is matted, we recommend meeting with Stacie or one of our staff members beforehand so we can discuss your options. May require additional charges.
Can I bring in a picture?
Absolutely! Stacie will discuss your options and try to achieve the same result.
Do you cut the nails?
Yes, We are able to cut the nails on most dogs. Long nails can lead to several issues including joint problems, broken or split nails. With nail cutting, there is always some risk of bleeding. Inside the nail is a blood vessel which grows with the nail. If the nail is allowed to grow long, then cutting the nail even slightly may result in bleeding. If the nails are black, the risk of bleeding increases. If the nail bleeds, we apply styptic powder to the nail. Regular nail trimming can prevent this.
What are anal glands?
The real answer is “something you don’t want to deal with at home!” They are the scent sacs right under a dog’s tail. Some dogs empty them naturally, some do not. Your groomer can check if they need to be emptied (expressed). Please let us know if your veterinarian does this or if you do not want us to express the glands.
What if I don‘t like the groom when it's finished?
Please tell us. We aim to please. On the occasion where a haircut is not to your liking, and it is a matter of a little more trimming here or there, the groomer can usually do it right away. In some instances, we may ask you to come again on another day in which case we can start again.
