Frequently Asked Questions

With San Mateo's variable coastal climate, how do you ensure my dog is dried comfortably and doesn't get chilled after a bath?

We use force-free, high-velocity dryers in a climate-controlled environment to efficiently remove moisture without overheating. For sensitive or senior pets, we offer towel-drying and ambient air-drying options to prevent any chill, which is especially important given the cool bay breezes in San Mateo. Our facility is kept at a comfortable, consistent temperature year-round.

Are there any local San Mateo regulations or required vaccinations I need to verify before my pet can stay for a spa day?

Yes, for the safety of all pets, we require proof of current Rabies, DHPP (for dogs), and Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccinations, in compliance with San Mateo County guidelines. We also recommend the Canine Influenza vaccine due to its presence in the Bay Area. You can easily upload your records through our online portal or bring them from your local vet for your first visit.

My pet gets anxious during grooming. Do you offer any specialized calming techniques or collaboration with local vets?

Absolutely. We specialize in low-stress handling and can use techniques like slower pacing, calming wraps, and natural pheromone diffusers. For pets with significant anxiety, we can coordinate with your local San Mateo veterinarian for a pre-appointment calming protocol and even accommodate vet-prescribed mild sedatives administered by you prior to the visit.

What specific de-shedding treatments are most effective for the double-coated breeds common in the Bay Area, like Huskies and German Shepherds?

We offer a multi-step de-shedding package specifically designed for double coats. This includes a high-velocity blow-out to loosen the undercoat, followed by a deshedding shampoo and conditioner treatment, and finished with specialized tools like an undercoat rake and a FURminator-style tool. This is highly effective for managing the significant shedding that occurs with our local climate changes.

Can you accommodate pets with mobility issues common in older San Mateo pets, such as arthritis or hip dysplasia?

Yes, we are fully equipped to groom senior and special needs pets. Our facility features hydraulic, height-adjustable grooming tables to minimize the strain of jumping on and off. We also provide non-slip mats, supportive harnesses, and allow for frequent rest breaks. We kindly ask that you inform us of any specific conditions when booking so we can provide the most comfortable experience.
