Frequently Asked Questions

How old should my dog be to start having it groomed?

We recommend as early as 4 months old and after they had thier shots and immunizations. Even though it might not be a breed that needs to be cut, they should still start being groomed to get used to the sounds of the shop such as dryers, clippers and also having their feet and face trimmed and being handled by strangers. Waiting till there over a year old will could be more difficult to groom and handle the dog.
