Meet & Greet
- For your nervous or anxious dogs, the aunties will be happy to provide some yummy cookies, a friendly voice, and even some pets.
Nail Trim & File
- We offer walk-in nail trim services. We clip as well as file; if your pet prefers one or the other, we can accommodate that. This service is $15 unless the pet requires more than one groomer due to behavioral issues. In this case, there will be an extra charge, dependent on the level of difficulty.
Gland Expression
- We offer external anal gland expression as a walk in service for $15. Nails & Gland Expression together as a walk-in is $25.
Ear Cleaning
- We offer ear cleaning as a walk-in service for your dog or cat. Waxy, dirty build-up you can't seem to get rid of? Let us help! Ear cleaning as an a la carte service is $10.
