I love pets! I have devoted my life to them. That said, some pets are unable to be completed due to their temperament while being groomed. This is a safety-first shop for your pet as well as myself. If I don't believe I can provide a safe, PAWSitive experience for your pet, I will send them home. Pets that exhibit symptoms of illness will be sent home immediately. Please have someone available to pick up your pet in the event of illness.

Matts, they happen. This is a cruelty free shop: If your pet is matted and needs to be combed out I will either send them home for you to work on or cut under the matts.

Matts, they happen. This is a cruelty free shop: If your pet is matted and needs to be combed out I will either send them home for you to work on or cut under the matts. I do not do extensive brush out de-matting here during bath or haircut appointments, my policy is to shave under the matts. If you want an excessively matted brushed out it will have to be done in sessions and you must attend. Keeping pets free of matts is the responsibility of the pet owner. I am here to help! I offer brushing tutorials as well as individual brush out service in between groomings. I will not brush out or shave down pets if I do not believe the matts can be removed safely. Removing matts can be a very dangerous service and may result in an injury to your pet. Examples: brush burn, cuts, nicks, hematomas, and clipper burn. I am not responsible for injuries due to matting. Please be aware I have the right to refuse service at anytime for any reason.

Please be aware the timing on each appointment is an approximation. The average groom time is two to four hours for a haircut, 1.5 to 2 hours for a bath with face, feet and sanitary, and 1 to 2 hours for a bath with de-shedding. You can opt to have an express service (the pet is completed start to finish without any crating) for an addit
Please be aware the timing on each appointment is an approximation. The average groom time is two to four hours for a haircut, 1.5 to 2 hours for a bath with face, feet and sanitary, and 1 to 2 hours for a bath with de-shedding. You can opt to have an express service (the pet is completed start to finish without any crating) for an additional fee $35 - $60 depending on breed and difficulty. I don't recommend that for most pets, as it is a lot to expect from them with no breaks. Due to the nature of this business, grooming time may be longer or shorter than the time on the service menu. Working with live animals (and people) is not an exact science and I may need more time for your pet. If you have any time restraints, please let me know as soon as possible. I always do my best to accommodate your scheduling needs. If your pet is older, a puppy, has health or behavior problems it will take longer, please expect longer service time. For your first appointment I will need information about you and your pet. Please expect to spend a few minutes when you drop off your pet. If you have someone else drop off your pet for the first time, make sure they have health information and instructions for the service you want. Be sure to be available to talk by phone or text around your appointment time or please call ahead to clarify your preferences.

Wondering if your pet is done? Please call or text. DO NOT "Pop In", if you show up before I've contacted you, I will send the dog home as is. You will be charged the full price of the grooming. It is not safe to work on some pets while their owners are here. Live animals, sharp tools, and excitement can cause accidents resulting in in

It is not safe to work on some pets while their owners are here. Live animals, sharp tools, and excitement can cause accidents resulting in injuries to your pet.

I do my best give notice when it affects appointments. I appreciate your understanding and support!
Busy day, need your pet to stay a bit longer? I don't mind your pet hanging out as long as we have space! You will see like minded pets hanging out together in the shop, I call it my puppy party! Not all dogs are suited for this and I am sensitive to temperaments. I pride myself on knowing the pets well enough to know who gets along and there is always strict supervision during parties.

I do my best to get everyone out in a timely manner. To help with this I need to make sure I can work on your pet without accidents interrupting. Please be courteous to your pets, especially those with anxieties; make sure they have emptied themselves before bringing them to their appointment. If you have an early morning appointment try not to feed your pet prior to arriving unless it has had ample time to toilet. Pets that potty in the shop will now incur a fee of $25. It puts me behind schedule with the disinfecting, changing clothes, re-washing pets, etc. I thank you for your understanding and help with this matter.

Due to the unpredictable nature and difficulty working with cats, I take new cat clients on a case by case basis for full services. Prospective full service cat clients must be screened for safety and approved by me before booking hair cut or bath services online. I do nail trims and other individual services for cats that may be booked online without screening.

At Pawsitively Primped appointments are booked by size and complexity.
Here is the size guide to help determine which category your pet fits into. Height in inches are measured at the withers, shown in the diagram above.

Puppy's 1st Groom?
A puppy's 1st groom is a very special time! My Pawlicy is to go at their pace, while trying not to overwhelm them. I break the grooming process into smaller sections to make it more manageable for them. I recommend bringing a new puppy for a toenail trim and a brush out for the first service to get to know the shop, and me with you close by waiting. The second visit a bath with a face feet and sanitary or deshedding to get used to most of the process and being away from you. After those are comfortably the full haircut.

There are 3 types of full service:

Bath Full Service for Long Coated Breeds with Face, Feet & Sanitary Trim: this is a full service for all dogs that require light trimming around the Face Feet and Sanitary areas. It works well between full haircuts or for dogs that don't need trimming on the body. Example of breed types are Shepherds, Doodles, Maltese, and Cavaliers.
Bath Full Service with Haircut: this is for any dog breed that requires a haircut all over the body.
Full Service appointments come in two categories: Maintenance and Special Attention, description of the differences are in the section below.

6 weeks for pets with haircuts over a ¼ inch long.
8 weeks for pets with haircuts under ¼ inch long.
8 weeks for shedding breeds
If your dog is going through their seasonal shed, please book a Special Attention service.
Utilizing the grooming extender Stand Alone Service adds an extra 3 weeks for maintenance appointments.
