Please be patient with us going into the next few weeks. We are short staffed and doing our best to get everyone in and finished on time. We're 2 groomers doing the work of 3 groomers so please be patient with pick up times. We will call you as soon as your pup is done. We shoot for 4 hours but during the holidays it may be a bit longer. Please refrain from calling us to see if your dogs ready or walking in to check. This takes time away from us while we are working to get everyone done in a timely manner.
