Grooming by Cristal Parkinson

I have been around the pet grooming business since childhood, growing up in my mothers grooming salon. I do one on one grooms by appointment ONLY. What does that mean? It means I now work on one client at a time with out any other clients in shop this helps with stress and distractions with your pets. And for me to accommodate grooming your pet in a timely and safe manner without being rushed. My

grooming rate is $65 per hour with “most” small breeds taking about an hour and hour half groom time depending on condition, behavior and type of groom/haircut. Understand larger breeds can take longer thus will cost more. There is a $25 per pet non refundable booking fee that will be credited to final bill day of appointment.

***IF YOU ARE MORE THAN 15 MINUTES LATE FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT PLEASE UNDERSTAND I MAY HAVE TO CANCEL AND REBOOK YOU TO A LATER DATE. THERE WILL BE A $25 CANCELLATION/RE-BOOKING FEE ADDED ONTO YOUR GROOMING. Because I do individual one on one grooms I book slots according to time needed for your pet when you show up late this has me starting late and possibly running into someone else’s time slot!***

Pets MUST be picked up promptly after grooming is complete unless daycare arrangements have been made beforehand. I do offer daycare up to 7pm for an additional $20.00 per dog

I do now offer house calls for an additional service fee on top of my hourly fee depending on distance from my shop location. In city limits is extra $25, outside city limits is extra $50 up to 15 miles out anything past that will be an additional $1 per mile

I offer a wide variety of grooming services to accommodate all pet owners and just about any kind of pet. I use all natural, biodegradable shampoos and professional grooming techniques for all breeds of dogs and cats. Part of my grooming service is to check the condition of your pet's skin, coat, for any lumps, bumps, flaky skin, and external parasites, and identify any problems with the eyes and/or ears (redness, odor or discharge) and I can alert you to symptoms of common medical problems so you can consult with your vet early on. I also provide special treatments should your dog or cat have fleas or ticks. Regular grooming keeps your pet healthy and looking nice! All grooming service's include:
•brushing out the coat
•bathing with all natural shampoo
•drying
•trimming nails
•cleaning ears
•haircut/style
•bow/bandanna and fragrance spray

Temp Hair Coloring/chalking, Nail Painting, Flea & Tick Treatments, & Teeth Brushing, a**l glands can be done upon request for an additional charge. I only perform grooming and styling procedures that do not place undue stress or cause discomfort to your pet.
***I WILL NOT sacrifice your pet's safety and comfort for VANITY!***

I take a lot of pride in my work and "Quality versus Quantity" is what my grooming is all about. I'm not into speed "zoom groom" jobs. I'm very gentle, artistic, detailed and I take time to go over every detail with my clients. I truly love grooming, it is my passion and I strive to make every customer happy. Questions answered�

Do I groom cats? I offer baths and brush outs (when coat condition allows), as well as lion clips or simply shave downs to relieve matting that is common with heavily coated cats. Many cats, as you can imagine , can be a bit more difficult to groom, and take longer to dry than dogs. BUT the cat must be very comfortable with the process. Their skin is extremely thin and can be easily cut!! UNDERSTAND….Cats do cost more to groom than most dogs. How old should my puppy be before he gets his first groom? Breeds with longer coats should begin the grooming process as soon as the second round of puppy shots (DHLPP) has been completed. These breeds include poodles, cocker spaniels, lhasas, shih tzus, terriers and the like. It's a good idea to familiarize your puppy with grooming, even if it's just for a bath and simple tidy up to start out with. He will come to learn that grooming is a FUN and positive thing, not scary at all! My pet is shaking. Could it be that he is scared? Not necessarily. He may just be excited from the car ride, or cold, or simply not sure whether he is going to the vet or not! Much like little kids in pre school, once you are gone, they settle right into their day, filled with fun things to see, smell and do. Dogs are very intuitive, as we all know, and will pick up on any anxiety you may be feeling, and begin to think that there may be something to be worried about after all. If your pet knows that you are comfortable leaving him, he will feel comfortable being left. Can my pet be treated for fleas and/or ticks? I offer flea and/or tick treatments using natural shampoos. Natural products are safe and effective for removing fleas and/or ticks present on your pet. They offer no residual effect, however, so, for effective flea control, it is important to treat the entire environment (inside and outside your home) while your pet is being treated at the salon. How much is all this going to cost? I charge by the hour at a rate of $65 per hour one hour minimum. Cost will depend on services provided, type of breed, as well as condition of the coat, extra brushing or hand sc******ng. Extra services such as flea treatments and medicated baths (oatmeal, aloe, melaluca), will vary by price according to size and breed. We will be happy to discuss options and pricing with you once we see your pet. Should I tip the Groomer? If you feel like they did a good job, please feel free to do so! Payment is due at time of services. Pmts can be made by credit/debit card, cash, cash app, Venmo, or Zelle. For standing appointments you do have the option to pre pay grooming in advance but please note that in doing so any and all pre payment are non refundable. All pets must be current on RABIES vaccinations as recommend by the state. Your vet information will be recorded and updated on a periodic basis.
