With over 17 years of grooming experience in the Bozeman area, we have the knowledge and care you can trust.
    

We charge per hour based on coat condition and behavior. No two dogs are the same from size, to coat texture and thickness and temperament/training. Clients who go over 8 weeks between grooms and may have tangles require more product, drying time, etc and cannot be charged the same as a 4/6 week clients.  We can quote over the phone, but we don't know coat condition, behavior, etc and it will be just that -a quote. It may go under or over depending on how they do and the work you have put into your pet.

We reserve the exact time we need to care and focus on your pet.  We use top of the line, detergent and dye free products to always be safe and do the best and highest quality job we can. It is not just giving a dog a bath to us- it's an art and our passion. We don't do sloppy work, so please don't rush us in the process. While we aim for a certain time, some pets may be nervous and need more time for the appointment to be finished safely.

We aim for a better than average groom.  We have spent our lives continuing education, buying the best tools on the market, and dedicating our life to putting out a better product. You will notice the difference in our approach.

We do charge a no show fee for all missed appointments that is half of what the appointment would have run, unless an emergency has happened. You have reserved our time, talent and expertise by way of making an appointment. If you do not show up to that appointment you will be required to pay a no show fee prior to booking another appt. Please call to cancel at least 24 hours before if you are unable to keep your appointment.
 

To set puppies up for success with grooming as adults, we like to begin at 3.5-4 months old.  By this point you as the owner should have been working on brushing, combing, and handling all body parts to de-sensitize the dog. 

We build on that relationship by properly showing the puppy what all will happen during the dog grooming process.  Be begin building trust and we make it fun and stress free with each visit. Puppies should be groomed every 4 weeks until 1 year old. At that point if they are well trained to the grooming process, we can begin scheduling every 4, 6 or 8 weeks depending on what you would like as the client. It makes a world of difference to start puppies right than to wait until a year old and say- "here ya go" and now the dog is terrified of grooming because it is something that has never been done before in its whole year of life. Grooming will be easier on your pet and your pocketbook when they behave. 

Sometimes pets don't get a young start to the dog grooming process, or maybe it just wasn't the right pet groomer to start out your pup.  Or maybe they had a bad experience at another dog spa at some point and after that it was all hate and no love for grooming for Fido. 

We offer rehabilitation grooming sessions. I have had tremendous success turning pups around for the grooming process over my 17-year career.  A commitment must be made by you, the owner, and me the groomer with goals and a training schedule in mind. 

We require every 3 to 4 weeks pre-booked appointments depending on how severe the grooming fear/behavior is. We basically start like it is a puppy with a re-introduction to grooming. We focus on no stress and ending on a good note. All dogs can be trained through their fears/behaviors and shown that grooming doesn't have to be a scary thing. 

In this case, it is not merely grooming. It is intensive dog training as well. A fee of $40.00/hr will be added to your grooming price for our rehabilitation training. Once your dog is ok for the grooming process, this fee will no longer apply. 

I look forward to working with your pet to show them grooming can be fun and enjoyable.  Please let us know when booking you are interested in our Rehabilitation package.

We offer Creative Grooming as well!! Whether it is Asian Fusion grooming, pet safe color, coat carving or rhinestones we can do it.  Please contact us with your ideas and we can help you through design, and pricing.
