Two grooms, start to finish

Drag the handle across each photo to see the coat before and after. Same dog, same afternoon.

If another shop has taken a coat too short, bring your dog in anyway. Growing a breed coat back is slow, and we will tell you honestly how long it takes.

What we do

Prices depend on size, coat and condition. Call and describe your pet, and you will get a straight answer.

Grooming is by appointment. Closed Wednesdays and Sundays. Payment is cash only — there is an ATM in the plaza.

The kitten room, up front

Every kitten we foster needs a home, and needs to get used to people first. The front room is open for both.

Stop in during shop hours, sit down on the floor, and spend a little time with whoever is here. There is no charge and no obligation to adopt. Kids are welcome with a grown-up. If you fall for one, we will walk you through the adoption paperwork before you leave.

What people bring up

Four things customers mention over and over in reviews and at the counter.

Patience

Nervous and squirmy pets get talked down rather than held down.

Cats, really

Cat owners drive past several towns to get here, because almost nobody else will do it.

You can watch

Nail trims and quick work happen in the open, with you standing there.

Fixing a bad cut

People come to grow a breed coat back out after it was clipped off somewhere else.
