We charge extra for dematting. We do only minimal dematting. Dematting is painful and we will not put your pet through any traumatic experiences. Grooming should not be a painful experience. Remember they don't forget a thing. Shorter hair cuts are less expensive because we can remove most of the hair before the bath. Longer haircuts must be brushed and combed before the bath. Longer haircuts require more shampoo, longer time in the tub and it takes more time to dry them. The longer haircuts require longer time on the grooming table and more scissoring. Pets with behavioral problems will be treated with patience and special care. I have had great success in turning behavioral problems around by not forcing anything on them and slowly bringing them around where they enjoy their grooming experience. Sometimes that requires a weekly bath for 4-6 weeks. Grooming is like anything else; the more experience you get the better you are at it. Just like golf, dance and driving a car. The more experience your pet has with grooming the more they enjoy it as well. It means so much to us that they have a good experience. Grooming is not something they should fear or dislike. We respect your pet and take the time to allow them to learn to trust the staff at the Village Groomer. We take the time to listen to customer detail and will discuss with you the best haircut for you and your pet. We get it right the first time. We want your pet to look and feel their best all the time. Our weekly bath pets seem to have less skin and coat issues. And less ear infection problems. Our Shampoo's and conditioners have all natural ingredients and have no soap making them compatible with all flea treatments. Our conditioners not only condition the coat but skin as well. The groomer will select the appropriate shampoo for your pets coat and skin. Flea treatments should be applied at least 24 hours after their bath. Bath prices are based on size, length and condition of coat. Obviously the larger the pet and longer hair takes more time. Starting February 1, 2009 there will be an extra charge of $10 for "Express Grooming" or "In and Out " appointments.
Walk ins welcome if space is available.
