Hey guys!
As of January, The Doggy Barn Salon will be updating some policies with the New Year here.
Matted dogs will be shaved accordingly and will inquire a $20-25 fee on top of original groom price. Matting takes much more time, is harder on our equipment and can often be dangerous for the groomer, mats pull skin and make it so much harder to carefully groom the dog. I will be glad to help anyone who has questions about dematting products, brushes, conditioners, etc.
I will be adjusting pricing on large, long haired coats over 100 pounds. Most of the breeds will include Newfoundland, Bernese Mountain Dog, Great Pyrenees, etc. Base pricing will be $125 an hour. These large breeds are often very hard to groom due to laying down while on the table, getting in and out of the tub, coat condition and they generally take hours to groom. Grooming dogs is very physically demanding and I have to do what’s best for my business. A lot of groomers don’t accept clients of this size/coat and I am trying my best to not get to that point so I do have to charge accordingly.
If you are 15 minutes late, you will have to reschedule your appointment with me, if I’ve not heard from you. As it may not sound like a big deal, that puts a groomers day so far behind. I try to get everyone in and out in a timely manner. I understand having an off day and if there is an issue with your appointment time, simply reach out to me and we will figure it out.
As always, THANK you all for your support and I hope you have a blessed 2024 💕
