RECOMMENDED FOR ALL YOUNG PUPPIES BEING INTRODUCED TO GROOMING!!!
PUPPY PRACTICE VISITS-"Mock Grooming"
Young pups require desensitization to grooming that is hard to accomplish at home and outside of a safe and experienced professional environment. Learning windows for dogs, specifically to comfort exposure, start to close as early as 14 weeks. We strongly recommend our youngest visitors have frequent visits for mock grooming practice after their first tidy.
Includes: 2-4 hour social play to learn how to relate to dogs (age dependent), brushing/combing, table and handling practice, blow drier desensitization and that's it! Ideally, weekly visits for a short period of time is a wonderful investment to future comfort and safety for grooming! Unvaccinated pups have a shorter stay and are not directly exposed to other dogs.
COST: $60 plus hst (price is reduced to $50 plus hst if pup isn't socializing)
SHEDDING BREEDS
Includes: bath, blow-dry, de-shed treatment, brushing and comb, ear cleaning, nail trimming, varying amounts of trimming (depending on breed and requirements) *Exceptions will always apply and prices assume a well maintained coat, but this offers a general guideline:

MEDIUM SIZE: (eg: Corgi, English Bulldog, Beagle, Pug etc.): approximately $85/$95 (hand scissoring additional, if applicable)
LARGE SIZE, SMOOTH COAT: (eg: Labrador Retriever etc.): $110+
LARGE SIZE FULLER/DOUBLE COAT: (eg: Golden Retriever, Aussie Sheps): $190+ (price increases with thicker coats, more trimming needs and infrequent grooming)

ADD ON SERVICES
TEETH BRUSHING: $10 (not recommended unless you're looking after dental care regularly at home because it's a waste of your money; brushing will not remove established tartar but only remove the last 24-48 hours of plaque which leads to tartar)
*ANAL GLAND EXPRESSION: $15 (we express anal glands externally only which is sufficient for most dogs) *most dogs do not need their anal glands expressed. Please inquire if you're unsure.
SPECIALTY SHAMPOO: $5 for small-medium sized dogs, $10 for medium-larger sized dogs
MEDICATED BATH FROM VET: $10
NAIL FILING: $10 (nail cutting is included in all grooms however filing smooths any rough edges and rounds nails a little shorter than cutting alone - NOT necessary and not all dogs can handle the vibration)

EAR PLUCKING: $5-$20 dollar range
