Grooming at The Pet Snobs Boutique!

Why Choose Our Salon:

We have 5 groomers on staff and three grooming assistants. We work to match your companion's grooming style with his/her personality and lifestyle. A low stress, safe and sanitary environment is a top priority and grooming products used are all natural. Staff are CPR trained, take continuing education courses throughout the year and hold multiple certifications.

Prices

Quotes can be provided over the phone or via email but are subject to change. Final price will be based on the pet’s coat condition, length of hair, services chosen and temperament. We do not charge for special shampoos (except for fleas) but do charge for dematting, excessive deshed, hand scissoring and temperament (i.e. aggression).

Puppy grooms for smaller pups start at $75 and for larger breed pups they start at $90. This prices goes up as your puppy gets bigger and goes through coat change.

Grooming Policies

Please be considerate of your groomers’ and other clients’ time. Grooming space and availability is limited.
For that reason, the following policies apply:

• Rabies Vaccination: Proof of an up to date rabies vaccination certificate is required prior to your scheduled appointment. If this is not provided, your appointment will have to be rescheduled. We can not accept a rabies tag as it does not list when the vaccine expires or who the tag belongs to. Please note we do not contact vets on behalf of clients.

  • Please wait to schedule a grooming appointment for 48 hours after any vaccine.

• Early Drop Off: Since we take grooming appointments every 30 minutes space is limited. On some occasions if you need to drop off earlier than 15 minutes prior to the start of your appointment you may be charged an early drop off fee.

• Late Drop Off: We have a 15 minute grace period for lateness from the start of your scheduled appointment. After the grace period you will be asked to reschedule.

• Cancellations and Rescheduling:

  • We require notice of cancellation or reschedule no less than 24 hours before your scheduled appointment.

  • Appointments cancelled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours notice will require a fee to re-book. This fee is non refundable, and non transferable.

  • Appointments are run on a strict schedule. If you have not arrived within 15 minutes to a scheduled appointment, it will be considered a missed appointment.

  • No shows, cancellations, rescheduling, or lateness will require a deposit (50%) for future appointment requests. All deposits are non refundable and non transferable and will be applied to your scheduled grooming service. Your deposit will be forfeited if your appointment is cancelled, rescheduled, or you arrive past our 15 minute grace period.

• We estimate all grooms will take about 3-4 hours depending on the service being done that day. XL dogs can take up to 5 or 6 hours depending upon coat condition, temperament for the dryer and what hairstyle is chosen. We will give you at least a 15 minute heads up prior to your pet’s service being finished. Once we let you know when your pet will be ready, we allot a 1 hour grace period for you to arrive to pick up your pet. After that 1 hour period fees will be charged as follows:

  • Dogs: After the 1 hour period you will be charged $10 every 15 minutes thereafter.

  • Cats: After the 1 hour period you will be charged $2 per minute.

• If your pick up is delayed past our closing time (5pm) you will be charged an additional $3 per minute.

• If you have Covid please reschedule and stay home. We will not do intake curbside.

We work diligently to maintain a pest free facility. Therefore, we request that all canine guests be treated with a quality flea treatment prior to visiting our salon. If we find such pests on any guest, we will immediately bathe accordingly and there will be a mandatory extra charge for this treatment. Please note this will only remove the active fleas and ticks on your pet. You will also need to treat both your pet and your home for the next 90 days as that is how long it takes to totally eradicate the life cycle of a flea. Indoor cats can get fleas even if they never go outside.

Puppies!

A puppy’s first groom consists of a bath, blowout (if he/she can tolerate the high velocity dryer, if not he/she will need to sit under the air mover), brushout, trimming of the eyes, paws and sanitary, ear cleaning and nail trimming.

We will not trim anything else on their body as you are asking a very young dog to stand up on a high table, being touched all over by strangers with very sharp shears and scary buzzy clippers near them and not dance or thrash. Most puppies need several of these training visits in order to tolerate a haircut. We love puppies and want them to have a positive experience as they will need to be groomed their whole life. We do not want to set unrealistic expectations for a dog’s first visit with us as most do not understand anything we are trying to do and almost 100% of the time we can not trim more then what is mentioned. We will also not demat a puppy at their first visit.

If your puppy got their first groom somewhere else we can not guarantee we will be able to give them a haircut at their first visit with us. No two groomers approach grooming the same way and it is important to try and stick with one groomer and salon as puppies build trust and a bond with their groomer. If your puppy is older but has only been groomed once or it has been a while since their last groom we will only offer the above kind of appointment.

It is important to note that no matter what the groomer does, they cannot make an adult coat look like a puppy coat. The fur lies differently and the coat can have different densities and colors even. It is extremely common for puppies with long hair to come in matted during the time when their adult coat comes in. It is a LOT of work to maintain and can easily get matted at the base of the hairs. Any kind of doodle is a great example of a puppy whose adult and puppy coats tend to not get along very well and get matted very easily.

Late Pick Up for Dogs:
Once we call you to let you know your pet is ready, we allot a 1 hour grace period for you to arrive and pick up your pet. After the 1 hour period you will be charged $10 every 15 minutes thereafter.

All prices are based on size, coat type, and temperament of your pet. A starting price will be quoted upon evaluation. Additional charges may be applied such as behavioral, dematting, flea removal, heavy deshed, impacted hair, extreme shavedown etc.

Book your grooming appointment today!

Due to the detailed work we do (hand drying and a lot of hand scissoring) we are seldom able to take same day appointments for full grooms and large hairy baths. Please make your appointments as far in advance as possible.

We are not a crate free facility. If your dog can not be crated you will need to arrange a straight through appointment. We offer these kinds of appointments everyday at 9am for an added fee on top of the groom. These types of appointments must be booked in advance and can not be added to your appointment after booking.

Please note dematting is an extremely time consuming and labor intensive project that not every pet can tolerate. We are not a shavedown shop and will try our best if the matting is manageable but sometimes it is best to just start over. We do charge by the minute to demat. For extreme shavedowns there is a fee added to the bill as it damages our tools.

Nail clips for both dogs and cats are a walk in service (unless your pup is special needs) with no appointment needed. A groomer is in everyday from 9:30 till 4pm. If you are thinking of coming in after 4pm please call ahead to verify a groomer is still in as they do not always stay until we close at 5pm.
