Julian's Dog Gone Cute

1. How do you figure out your bathing and grooming prices?

Our pricing depends on the breed, size, and type/density of coat.  The level of difficulty of the cut the owner requests and the dog’s behavior is also taken into account.

2. What can I expect when I pick my pet up?

Your pet will come back to you dry, clean, conditioned, and combed out with nails clipped and ears cleaned. We also spray the dogs with cologne and put on bows/bandanas unless the client requests otherwise.

3. How often should my dog be brushed?

That would depend on what type of hair your dog has. Drop coat dogs (Maltese, Shih Tzu, Lhasa Apso) with hair longer than 4 inches should be brushed at least twice a week. A fuzzy coat type (Bichon, Poodle, Old English Sheep Dog) with hair longer than 4 inches will probably be okay with a once a week brushing.

4. How can my dog's hair be matted if I just had him groomed 2 weeks ago?

Not all animals care about their appearance - they want to have fun!  Where they live, play and sleep, their interactions with  other animals and how often they are brushed are all contributing factors in how well kept the coat is.  Owners who regularly brush their animals have less matts.

5. Why do my dog’s nails look like they haven’t been clipped?

The nail has an area we call the "quick".  Some dogs’ "quick" is almost to the end of the nail itself.  If you cut into the "quick" it is painful for your dog and will bleed. So, we’re very careful to avoid this situation.  We cut the nails as short as we can without injuring our little clients.

6. Why do my dog’s nails scratch me, even after they’ve been clipped?

Clipping the nail does not make it smooth...only shorter. But, we can file your dog’s nails smooth, if you wish.

7.  Why does my dog start to shake, like she is scared, when I take her places where I have to leave her?

Dogs are very in tune with their owners’ feelings. If you feel this is something your dog will not like, chances are they will feel this also. The best way to release your dog to the groomer or caretaker is to hand over the leash, tell them to stay, and then leave without a big fuss. We find that if the dog can see their owner leave, they will usually relax soon after.
