Currently considering new appts January 15, 2025 & forward. On waitlist status, coupled w getting everyone on schedule groomed with the upcoming holidays & breaks. To see if we’d be a good fit, please peruse the below information. Occasionally odd spots do open up if all the parameters such as location & type of groom align.
Be safe & well during the Helene recovery efforts! Happy Holidays!
-In order to see if I can get you on the schedule (officially on waitlist status), I need more basic information. (This is a standard response; ignore items you already provided.)
-What area are you in
-Breed of pup/s
-When last groomed
-Any matting, etc
-Pics taken within the last few
days
-Weight of pup/s
-Any behavioral/health
conditions related to
grooming?
-All communication is accomplished (& in order of preference) via text, email or FB PM. Voice mail is NOT checked & phone calls do not happen.
-A little basic info to make sure we’d be a good fit:
•All pups are required to maintain a methodical rotating EM (every month) or EOM (every other month) schedule. Currently, only EOM appts are possible. If EM are desired, it is suggested to at a minimum start at EOM until a corresponding EM spot opens. After the first appt, if you can’t be there, I need access by some means to keep your pup/s on schedule. Frequent rescheduling does not work with how I run the scheduling. Appt change requests must be made asap & at a minimum 2+ weeks out from your appt if you do not want to incur rescheduling fees. Frequent rescheduling can result in losing your spot on the schedule.
•I have a zero tolerance cancellation policy (see the policies on the website, FB or emails for more information). Rescheduling is an acceptable alternative, however not on a regular basis.
•The groom minimum starts at $120 for one pup & includes up to the first hour on that groom dependent on breed/behavior/type of cut & matting. (For example, Cocker Spaniel/Cairn Terrier/Westie/Mini Schnauzer types: $100 & up + $20 for the first pup so would be $120+ or the doodle minimum is $130, so the price for one would be $130+ + $20 = $150+.) After the minimum is met, the hourly rate is roughly $100/hour during business hours & certain services such as additional nails (for other pups not being groomed) are available. Trip charges may apply.
•All pups must be 100 lbs or less & at a minimum decently behaved. You will still be responsible for all qouted grooming/trip fees etc if the groom can not be completed due to behavioral or health issues. So please, it is important to be honest.
•As per matting policies, moderate to heavy matting is not tolerated as it is unfair to both the pup & groomer. In the event a pup is deemed badly matted, it is likely they will be shaved down to 1/2 inch or less; dependent on what can get through the coat with the least amount of stress to the pup as possible. If it’s just a few that can be easily cut &/or groomed out they will be spared the shave-down (this is up to the groomer’s discretion.). After that first groom, it is up to the pup parents as to how long the coat can be. Pups must be flea & tick free or there will be additional charges.
•Locations traveled to. Some locations require trip charges (see FB or website for further details). Currently the areas appts are being considered in are most of Aiken County (Aiken, Graniteville, Beech Island, Wagener & Warrenville are most commonly traveled to. Windsor & nearby areas are not traveled to as frequently.). Occasionally N. Augusta, Augusta, Ridge Spring, Edgefield & Trenton are traveled to. Other areas may be considered if close by &/or trip charges & grooming fees can be arranged to comfortably compensate for gas, vehicle wear & tear & time on the road. If an entire ACMDG business day or close to an entire day (travel & grooming time) needs to be put aside/reserved for an appt, expect to pay $300 & more (areas or trips approximately 20 min &/or miles or more from Beech Island are subject to steeper trip & minimum charges. For example, Colombia/Lexington areas are 3+ hours of driving & would require an entire day blocked & be a $450 minimum ($150 + of that being trip) w a 1-3 dog &/or 3 hour max grooming time @ approximately $100/hour).
-HOURS: Grooming occurs between the hours of 10:00 am to 3:00 pm Tuesday-Thursday & 10:00 am to 2:00 pm on Friday. Mondays are reserved as a reschedule/overflow day.
-If interested, please be sure to read over the basic information & policies included in emails (also on the website & first pinned post on FB w the Frenchie) as items such as rough pricing, what a groom includes, payment forms accepted, matting policies, rescheduling/cancellations, to operating hours are covered & more.
-If you respond back & agree to the basic requirements & information, or have more questions and you also provide the information requested (minus what you’ve already provided), I will see if I can accommodate you.
Thank you for your interest!
