Add-on services if getting a bath or haircut:

- Anal gland expression (external): $10
- Deshedding: Prices in the chart above, plus typically $30 - $35 additional, depending on the breed
- Dematting: $1.25 per minute
- 20 minute max - we cannot demat a dog beyond 20 minutes due to the potential discomfort and skin irritation. If a dog requires more than 20 minutes of dematting, it would likely need to be shaved
- Shave: Price in the haircut breed chart above, plus $15 - $25
- Price depends on the size of the dog and severity of the matting
- Shaving costs more money because it requires more work than a normal haircut
- Face, feet, and sanitary trim if only getting a bath: Price of bath (see chart above) plus $15 - $25, depending on the age and work involved ($15 for puppies or dogs with minor work, $25 for older dogs and those requiring more work).
- Please note that a bath is required if getting a face, feet, and sanitary trim
- Nail grinding: $5 additional
- Nail trimming is included, but grinding is slightly more, due to extra time involved
- Some dogs cannot have their nail trimmed due to anxiety, but will tolerate grinding.
- Cording: $10 per 20 minutes
- Cording is only for certain breeds such as Komondors and Pulis
Additional services if not getting a bath or haircut:
- Bottom of paw pads: $5 total for all four feet
- Whole paw trim (top and bottom): $10 total for all four feet
- Nail trimming: $10 total for all four feet
- Nail grinding: $15 total for all four feet

Misc Other
- Teeth brushing:
- Normal toothpaste: $10
- With anti-plaque gel: $12
- Special handling: May be charged if a dog requires extra time or effort beyond what is considered reasonable and customary for the breed. The charge depends on the situation. For example, if a dog would normally take one hour but takes three hours due to fear of the dryer, there would be an extra fee that takes into account lost revenue to the groomer.
