Unique Styles by Shandra

 All grooming services are by appointment only. Appointments are generally booked a week or two in advance. 

The frequency of grooming depends on the breed and coat type of your pet. We recommend bringing your pet in for grooming every 4-6 weeks for coats that grow quickly or require maintenance. Dogs that are lower maintenance should have a total makeover within 12 weeks. Nails should be done every 2-6 weeks, depending on how fast they grow or wear down. Long nails can lead to split nails, bad foot form and joint issues.

Shandra simulates the Home Service experience while your Dog is at the Salon.  Many dogs are OK with in Salon service that were previously anxious when groomed at other salons. She achieved this by only having your Dog(s)  present during the grooming process and keeping a calming atmosphere. 

 Your Dog will only need to be at the Salon for the time frame it takes to complete a groom, usually an hour or less for small Dogs and an hour and a half for medium Dogs. If more time is needed, the groomer will notify you when the Dog is dropped off for its appointment. 

 I'm sorry your Dog can not stay for an extended time or the day since  seeing other dogs come and go can be an anxiety trigger for some dogs. 

 I'm sorry, brushing only during grooming does not resolve tarter and build-up therefore, we recommend daily cleaning. You can ask Shandra how you do that. As for anal glands that was deemed a medical requirement by the U of S a few years ago since there may be underlying causes such as infections or diet and expressing regularly when not needed can also cause damage to the anal glands and lead to future surgeries for removal.
