High Standards. Higher Expectations.

15+ years in the same location, built on one principle: your dog's welfare comes first. We tell you what they need, not what you want to hear.

Not for Every Dog. Not for Every Owner.

But for the right ones, we're exactly what you've been looking for.

We specialize in the dogs other groomers gave up on: behavioral challenges, severe matting, previous groomer trauma. If your dog has been rushed, mishandled, or sent home looking worse than they arrived, we're here to fix that.

We're direct because we care. If severe matting requires a full shave instead of painful dematting, we'll tell you - because your dog shouldn't suffer for aesthetics. If home care habits are contributing to a problem, we'll help you fix it. That honesty is why our clients keep coming back, and why we've been trusted in this community for over 15 years.

Full Groom

Complete coat work tailored to your dog's breed and condition. We assess first, then recommend the appropriate cut and care.

From $40

Nail Trims

Walk-ins welcome, but please call ahead to confirm availability.

$15

Behavioral & Rescue

Specialized handling for dogs with trauma, anxiety, or difficult grooming history. Patience and expertise, no shortcuts.

Matting Assessment

Honest evaluation of matted coats. We'll recommend the least stressful solution, even if that means a full shave.
