If it's been 1 month since you last washed your dog the coat will be in a different condition than if you wait 6 months. It's best to have the groomer see and feel the coat before you leave to have an idea of what the price will be. Boarding: Drop off time is 7am. Check-out time is 3pm (just like a hotel). Pickup after 3pm counts as another chargeable day. Bring any toys, blankets, food your pet is used to. Leaving an item with "your smell" is also encouraged to help make the separation easier on your pet. Your pet may not eat his "normal" diet when boarding, this is normal. Nail clipping: Walk-ins welcome. Cost ranges from $5 for small animals (Chihuahuas) to $10 for larger animals (Labs).
