No Show Policy

We ask that you please call if you can't make your appointment. If you don't show up to your scheduled appointment without calling, we may increase your normal grooming price to make up for the money that we lost. We turn others away to save the appointment for you and appreciate notice so that we may fill that space with someone else.

 

Vaccinations

We do not require your pet to be vaccinated

Vaccinations are a personal decision. Some people want their pets vaccinated at regular intervals and some people think that is over vaccinating. I don't think I have a right to impose my preference on you. I think it is up to YOU if you want to protect your dog from whatever they may come into contact with. We do hope that you at least have their puppy vaccinations. Most agree that those are extremely important. Please see a veterinarian for more information about puppy vaccinations.

 

Glands

(yes, anal glands)

 

We do not and will not express anal glands

 

Here is my speech on anal glands...

Anal glands are glands INSIDE the body and anything inside the body is the veterinarian's territory.

Dogs are supposed to express their glands naturally, and if they aren't, that could indicate that there is a problem and they should see a veterinarian. If you start expressing the glands on puppies, you could interfere in the developments of the muscles they need to it themselves.

Leaders in the grooming industry are now recommending that groomers do not express the glands.


We can check to see if the glands are full if you ask us.
