Frequently Asked Questions

How do you handle grooming for double-coated breeds like Huskies and Malamutes in Gakona's extreme climate?

We specialize in grooming for cold-weather breeds and never shave double coats, as this can ruin their natural insulation and temperature regulation. Our service focuses on thorough de-shedding, undercoat removal, and proper blow-drying techniques to maintain the coat's health and protect your pet from both the harsh winters and the summer sun in the Interior.

Do you offer mobile grooming services for residents in remote areas outside of Gakona proper?

Yes, we offer limited mobile grooming services for a designated radius covering outlying areas. However, appointments are scheduled in clusters by area to be efficient, and availability is subject to seasonal road conditions, especially during spring thaw (breakup) and heavy winter snowfalls. We recommend booking well in advance for mobile services.

What is your policy on paw pad care and protection, given the ice-melting agents and rough terrain in the area?

Paw care is a critical part of our grooming service in Gakona. We include a thorough paw pad inspection, safe nail trimming, and fur trimming between the toes to prevent ice ball accumulation. We also offer a moisturizing paw balm treatment made with natural waxes to help protect against cracking from dry cold and a minor irritants from de-icing materials used on local driveways and walkways.

Are there specific times of year when I should book my pet's grooming appointment to manage seasonal coat changes?

Absolutely. The most critical times to book are late spring (April-May) for the 'blowing' of the winter undercoat and early fall (September-October) as the winter coat comes in. These are our peak seasons, and appointments book up weeks in advance. Scheduling during these transitional periods is essential for your pet's comfort and managing shedding in your home.

My dog often works or exercises outdoors; do you offer any grooming treatments to help with burrs, sap, or other outdoor debris common in the Alaskan bush?

Yes, we offer a specialized 'Outdoor Adventure Rinse' designed to safely and gently loosen and remove burrs, spruce sap, and mud without harsh chemicals. We use all-natural, pet-safe detanglers and cleansers. For regular working dogs, we recommend a maintenance package that includes shorter trims on feathering and a conditioning treatment to protect the coat from the elements.
