Professional Grooming

Grooming is available Monday thru Thursday and some Saturdays

The National Humane Society recommends bathing your dog every two to four months (or sooner if he has gotten into something smelly). Bathing her too frequently will dry out her skin and strip the natural oils from her coat. Grooming, however, is a step beyond the basic bath.

According to Jenna Stregowski, RVM, "Dog grooming is one of your dog's basic needs and an important part of dog ownership. Just like people, dogs need physical maintenance to look and feel their best. Fortunately, dogs do not need to bathe as often as people, but you do need to learn how much grooming your dog actually needs and keep it on a schedule. Generally, a dog’s grooming needs depend on the breed and hair type."

Our professional groomer, Jennifer Wilkerson, grooms Monday thru Thursday and some Saturdays. Please call ahead to schedule your appointment.

We ask that grooming pets be dropped off between 7:30 and 8:30am. We will notify you when your pet's grooming is finished (generally mid-afternoon).

When you check in, Jen will ask you how you want your pet cut, and will give you an estimate of the charges.

• Small dogs (up to 20 lbs.) $43.00.
• Medium dogs (21-45 lbs.) $49.00.
• Large dogs (46-60 lbs.) $55.00.
• X-Large (over 61 lbs.) start at $73.00.
• X-Large dog shave down $125.00.
• First puppy groom is $30.00.

We can give your dog a bath on any weekday during regular business hours.

REQUIREMENTS FOR GROOMING

Your dog must be current on Distemper/Parvo, Rabies and Bordetella (which we booster every 6 months).

NCVMB requires an annual exam in order to administer the Distemper/Parvo and Bordetella. (If your pet is not current on an exam here, we can do the exam and you will be charged for one.)

We require a FVRCP and Rabies for cats.

Of course, if your pet is seen at another veterinary hospital, we simply need a copy of your pet's vaccination history previous to your pet's groom appointment.
