PET GROOMING

Our pet grooming service is available Monday through Friday by appointment only.  You are welcome to bring your pet to us between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., however, our groomer begins at 9:00 a.m. and we ask that your pet be present prior to this time.  

Clients will be notified by phone when their pet is ready for pick up (usually mid-afternoon).*  We cannot offer a guarantee for time of completion as time requirements vary per pet.

*Your pet may be picked up later in the day if necessary.

Monday - Thursday  

Friday 

7:00am - 8:00pm

7:00am - 6:00pm

All grooming services include nail trim, ear cleaning and anal gland expression.

Cats: $60 (Does not include sedation, physical examination or wellness profile).

  Price will vary if sedation is required.  Because sedation involves the introduction of a drug, we strive to provide the best medical options possible to ensure your pet's safety.  Should it be necessary, a physical examination and/or a wellness profile will be offered if not conducted within the previous 12 months.

Dogs:  The cost of grooming a dog is largely dependent on the size/breed, condition of the coat and the time it takes to complete the task.  The Professional Pet Groomers Association of Manitoba has released a Grooming Fee Guideline for reference.  An estimate will be provided upon request.


Grooming Guidelines

ALL STYLES ARE DEPENDENT ON CONDITION OF COAT. IF MATS ARE PRESENT, THE CUT WILL BE SHORTER.  

 

PUPPY CUT (Kennel Cut/Teddy Cut):  This style is basically the same cut your dog has but a shorter version. Only dogs that have no mats in their coat can be styled this way. The groomer must be able to comb through every inch of the coat. Most often this cut is about an inch in length.  

 


SPORT CUT: This style is cutting the ENTIRE coat short. This is ideal if your dog is quite matted. Breed specific faces can be done if desired.  

SPANIEL CUT: This style is when the groomer leaves the skirt and legging.  

SCHNAUZER CUT: This style is when the groomer leaves eyebrows, beard, skirt, and legging.

WHEATEN CUT: This style, similar to the schnauzer cut, is when the groomer leaves longer eyebrows, beard, skirt and legging.

LION CUT (FELINE): This style is when the entire body is shaved short, the head (mane), boots and small amount at end of tail are left.

Nail Care:  How To Trim Your Pets Nails

Tip:  Have some cornstarch ready in case the nail is accidentally trimmed too short and begins to bleed.  Apply cornstarch to nail and continue using direct pressure until bleeding ceases (can take several minutes).

Hospital Tour

 

  A few important points:

  All pets admitted to our hospital should have current (within the past 12 months) vaccinations prior to grooming due to potential contagious diseases or infections.

  Should your pet require sedation, he/she will be subject to a physical examination if not conducted within the past 12 months.  A blood screen is recommended prior to sedation.

  Clients will be required to complete a PPGAM (Professional Pet Groomers Association of Manitoba) waiver.

View waiver

  We require that all pets be in good health and free of infectious diseases.
  We reserve the right to refuse any animal for grooming that poses a health or safety risk.
