DOODLES  Starting at $125

Doodles (cross between a Poodle and another breed) are extremely popular and I groom oodles of Doodles! Labradoodles, Goldendoodles, Sheepadoodles, Bernedoodles, Aussiedoodles, Cockerpoos, etc.  They are charming, intelligent, good-natured dogs.  Of course, they are also super cute.  I love them!  

They are also extremely high maintenance.  They are, in fact, the most high-maintenance dogs I groom.  Their hair is so unique they command an entire category of their own!  Even a small, well-maintained doodle will take me nearly 2 hours.  I think that is a lot of standing still to ask of a dog.  Because I try to keep grooming to 2 hours or less, I am not accepting Doodles in full coat.  The maximum length I can accomodate is 1.5 inches on a 4 week schedule.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Loose matting:               Add $15 *                                                                                                    Tight matting (pelted):  Add  $25*           

                                                                                               *short cut/ shave down required  

​

​

Fleas:  If I find fleas on your dog, I will automatically use flea shampoo.  There is a $50 additional fee.  Please be upfront with me about fleas.  If I find fleas on your dog, I will need to cancel the rest of my day and flea-bomb my van.  $50 does not cover this cost.

Cats 

At this time I do not groom cats.
