Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer any special de-icing or paw protection treatments for dogs after they've been playing in the snow on the mountain?

Yes, many of our local pet spas offer specialized 'pawdicures' that include a warm paw wash to remove ice-melting salts and chemicals, a thorough pad inspection for snowball ice buildup or cracks, and the application of a pet-safe protective wax or balm. This is highly recommended after a day on the slopes at Palisades Tahoe to keep your pet's paws safe and comfortable.

How far in advance should I book a grooming appointment during peak ski season or holiday weekends?

Due to high demand from visiting pet owners, we strongly recommend booking your grooming appointment at least 2-3 weeks in advance for holiday weekends like Thanksgiving, Christmas, or President's Day. For regular peak season weekends (January through March), a 1-2 week lead time is advisable to secure your preferred spot.

My dog has a thick, double coat. Do you offer specific grooming services for breeds like Huskies or Malamutes that are common in this climate?

Absolutely. Our groomers are experts in handling the dense undercoats of cold-weather breeds. We offer specialized de-shedding treatments that include high-velocity drying and undercoat raking to properly remove loose fur without damaging the topcoat, which is essential for their insulation during Squaw Valley's cold winters. We never shave double-coated breeds.

Are there any mobile pet grooming services that can come to my vacation rental in Squaw Valley?

Yes, there are a couple of mobile groomers serving the Tahoe area. However, availability is extremely limited, especially in winter due to parking and weather constraints at rental properties. It's best to book a mobile groomer several weeks ahead, and always have a backup plan for an in-salon appointment in nearby Truckee if the mobile service cannot access your location.

What is your policy on pets that may be anxious from the travel or the high altitude in Squaw Valley?

We are very accustomed to caring for pets who may be stressed from travel or adjusting to the 6,200+ foot elevation. We practice gentle, low-stress handling techniques and can accommodate shorter, quieter sessions. Please inform us of any signs of anxiety or altitude sensitivity when you book, and we will ensure a calm, patient experience. For severe anxiety, we may recommend a quick check-up with a local vet first.
