BEFORE YOUR GROOM:

  • Take your dog for a quick potty walk *before* your appointment time in our front yard area or by Forte Memorial Park (behind the building by the parking lot). We are always prepared to handle accidents, but this will help us keep our salon safe and sanitary!
  • PLEASE BE ON TIME!Late arrivals can be disruptive to all our groomers and our other clients. If you think you will be late, please call us at (617) 467-4664 so we can plan accordingly. Late arrivals may be subject to a late fee on top of the cost of the groom, and/or we may need to reschedule.
  • Be prepared to pick up your pet 2-3 hours after your drop-off time.  Leaving your dog here for long periods after a completed groom can cause stress and anxiety in your pet, can affect their relationship with grooming (and us), and can be distracting or stressful to other dogs. If you need more flexibility for your drop off/pick up time for your groom, click here to learn more about our daycare services.
  • Need to cancel? Call us ASAP! Same day cancellation fees will apply to your next groom if we do not have adequate time to fill the appointment, starting at $20 per dog and increasing up to the cost of the groom if we receive multiple last minute cancellations.

We look forward to seeing you!
