Frequently asked questions.


* What types of products are used on my dog?
We use all natural and 70% organic products all made in the USA on your dog. It is our goal to provide the best products we can find made by companies that share our ideology in all natural and/or organics ingredients that are biodegradeable, environmently friendly and provide jobs for Americans. Our shampoos include Aloe, Papaya, Kiwi and Oatmeal. We use a tearless shampoo to clean all faces.

*How often should I have my dog groomed?
Most dogs benefit from being groomed every four to six weeks. With dogs that have hair that is in constant growth, Poodles, Bichons, Yorkies, Shih Tzu's to name a few the benefits to regular maintenance grooming is the dog doesn't get the opportunity to mat and will always look and feel their best. The groomer can be the best line of defense in finding a problem quickly.
