The Full Groom Package includes all the services listed (left) under the Bath and Brush Package. After the bath and brush services, the Full Groom adds a scissor trim of the feathers (foot fluff, backs of legs, rump, tail, belly, chest) for double-coated dogs, and a mild trimming of the face for long-coated dogs (eyes, visor, and chin).
Any request for length taken off the body or head with electric clippers will cause your appointment to be upgraded to Premium Groom pricing.

Premium Groom
The Premium Groom Package includes all the services listed (left) under the Bath and Brush Package. The haircut in the Premium Groom is set by electric clippers, to a length of your choosing (when possible and safe). The commonly requested “Puppy cut” or “Field clip” are Premium grooms. While the typical request is a single length on the entire body with a round head, this can be adjusted to preference and lifestyle. Feel free to discuss length with your groomer, or show us photos of grooms you like, on dogs with similar coats.
Recommended ONLY for long-coated dogs. Not recommended for double- or short-coated breeds unless directed by your veterinarian.

Hand Stripping
Hand-stripping is considered the “proper” and more natural way to groom wire-coated dogs, like the Border Terrier (Eddie) pictured here. The coarser your dog’s coat is, the better fit it is to be a candidate for hand-stripping. (If your wire-coated dog has been previously shaved, hand-stripping may be difficult, uncomfortable, and sometimes impossible.) Hand-stripping is a process that involves pulling out the longest guard hairs by the root, allowing room for new and healthier growth. This allows the follicles room to breath, and keeps the coat shiny and healthy, typically reducing dander and smell as a side benefit. This process isn’t generally painful for dogs, however, some pets who are unused to the process may have trouble adjusting at first. We always keep your pets comfort in mind, so some hand-stripped dogs should have short but regular stripping sessions instead of long, rare stripping sessions.
Prices are hourly based on your dogs table behavior and ease of coat release.
Hand Scissoring
Full-body Hand-scissor grooms are highly technical in nature, requiring extra precision and time. This service is for those looking for a show-groom look for their pet, especially breeds like Poodles and Bichons. A full body hand-scissor skips the electric clippers, and the body is trimmed down all over using scissors only. Typically these cuts are longer, and require more in-between maintenance at home.
Prices are hourly, based on the dogs behavior on the table, as well as the type of coat.
