Safety & Behavior

"I do everything possible to make grooming a calm and comfortable experience. That said, your pet’s behavior and safety are also important parts of a successful appointment."

  • Please let me know if your dog has a history of anxiety, aggression, or medical conditions.
  • For safety, I may use gentle restraints when needed.
  • If a pet is aggressive or unsafe to groom, I may stop the service and refer you to a veterinarian for sedation grooming.
  • I do not sedate pets under any circumstances.

General Salon Etiquette

To keep things running smoothly and safely:

  • Please make sure your dog has had a potty break before grooming.

  • Dogs should arrive on a leash or in a carrier.

  • Owners are asked not to stay during grooming, as pets are often calmer without them present.

  • If your dog has fleas or ticks, please let me know before your appointment so I can take proper precautions.
