Understanding Our Service Tiers

 

Every dog deserves grooming that matches their comfort level and needs. That's why we offer two approaches:

 

Standard Groom

 

Our complete, professional grooming service delivered at a comfortable pace for dogs who are relaxed and confident during grooming.

Included:

  • Full grooming service (bath, haircut, nail care, ear cleaning)

  • Behavioral assessment and documentation

  • Before and after photos

  • Professional, efficient pacing

 

Best for: Dogs who are comfortable with grooming, have no significant anxiety, and are maintained on a regular grooming schedule.

 

Therapeutic Groom

Our premium, trauma-informed grooming experience with extended time, built-in breaks, and specialized gentle handling techniques.

 

Everything in Standard, plus:

  • Extended appointment time (30-45 minutes additional)

  • Built-in acclimation and comfort breaks

  • Trauma-informed handling techniques

  • Enhanced behavioral documentation

  • Flexibility to work at your dog's pace

 

Best for: Anxious dogs, senior dogs, dogs with skin conditions, first-time groom, or any dog who benefits from a slower, gentler approach.

 

Pricing: Therapeutic Groom services are priced at a 20% premium over Standard rates to reflect the additional time and specialized care.

 

 

Not sure which tier is right for your dog? We'll observe your dog at intake and recommend the best option based on their comfort level and needs. You're always welcome to discuss options with us.

Dogs maintained on a consistent 6–8 week grooming schedule typically fall within these ranges.

(Goldendoodles, Labradoodles, Bernedoodles, Cockapoos, Cavapoos, Poodles, and similar coats)

Doodles and poodle-mix coats require significantly more brushing, drying, and finishing time due to their coat texture and density. For this reason, these coat types are priced separately from breed-based services.

Pricing is based on time, coat condition, and grooming frequency, not just size.

❓ Service FAQs

Why are prices listed as ranges?
Every dog is different. Coat condition, size, behaviour, and grooming frequency all affect grooming time. Pricing ranges allow us to provide fair, accurate pricing without rushing dogs.

Why are doodles and poodles priced separately?
Doodle and poodle-mix coats require significantly more brushing, drying, and finishing time. Separate pricing ensures adequate time is booked for their care and comfort.
