Frequently Asked Questions

Given Allston's dense urban environment and limited street parking, what is the best way to handle drop-off and pick-up for my pet's grooming appointment?

Many Allston pet spas are accustomed to the parking challenges. We recommend using our dedicated 10-minute loading zones directly in front of the spa for quick drop-off and pick-up. Alternatively, consider using the paid parking lot on Linden Street or utilizing the Commonwealth Avenue T-stop if you're coming from further away. We also offer a text-ahead service where we will text you 10 minutes before your pet is finished to minimize your wait time and circling for parking.

My apartment building has specific requirements for pet vaccinations, like the Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccine. Do you require this for grooming, and can you provide proof?

Yes, for the safety of all pets in our care, we require proof of Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccinations. This is especially important in a community like Allston with a high density of pets in apartments and shared spaces. We keep digital records on file and are happy to provide a signed verification letter or email for your property management company upon request after your first visit.

How do you handle pets that are anxious from the constant noise of Commonwealth Avenue traffic and the Green Line trains?

We understand the unique stressors of an urban environment. Our spa uses sound-dampening panels in our grooming areas and plays calming, classical music to help mask the outside city noise. Our groomers are trained in gentle, low-stress handling techniques, and we can schedule appointments during quieter hours, such as mid-morning on weekdays. For extremely anxious pets, we may recommend a shorter, introductory 'Pawdicure & Brush-Out' session first.

With Allston's harsh winter conditions and salted sidewalks, do you offer any specific de-icing paw treatments?

Absolutely. Our 'Allston Winter Paw Protection' package is very popular from December through March. It includes a thorough paw wash with a gentle, moisturizing shampoo to remove salt and chemicals, a paw pad trim to prevent ice ball buildup, and the application of a pet-safe paw balm to protect against cracking and irritation from the road salt commonly used on our local sidewalks.

I live in a small Allston apartment without a bathtub. Do you offer self-service dog wash stations, and what is provided?

Yes, we offer self-service wash bays to help our neighbors in apartments. Each station is equipped with a raised, walk-in tub, a secure tether, a professional-grade sprayer, aprons, and all necessary supplies including hypoallergenic shampoo, conditioner, and towels. We also provide high-velocity dryers for an additional small fee. It's a cost-effective way to keep your pet clean between full-service grooms without the mess in your own home.
