Frequently Asked Questions

How do Indian Head pet spas handle pets that are anxious about the noise from nearby Naval Support Facility detonations?

Many groomers in the Indian Head area are familiar with the occasional loud noises from the base. We use proven desensitization techniques, calming aids like pheromone sprays, and maintain a calm, reassuring environment. It's best to inform us of your pet's sensitivity when booking so we can schedule their appointment during quieter times, if possible, and provide extra care.

Are there any mobile pet grooming services that will come to the more rural parts of Indian Head, like the areas off of Poplar Hill Road?

Yes, there are a few mobile groomers serving Charles County that will travel to Indian Head's rural areas. Their availability can be limited due to travel time and demand. We recommend booking well in advance and confirming they service your specific address, as some may have restrictions on narrow or unpaved driveways common in the outskirts of town.

With the Potomac River and local creeks, my dog often gets muddy. Do you offer a quick, rinse-only service between full grooming appointments?

Absolutely. We offer a 'Paws & Claws' quick rinse and towel-dry service specifically for active dogs in Indian Head. This is perfect for a post-adventure cleanup after a visit to the Smallwood State Park boat launch or a walk along the riverbank. It's an affordable way to keep your pet and your home clean without a full bath and blow-dry.

What specific tick prevention treatments do you offer or recommend after grooming, given the wooded areas around Indian Head?

Given the high tick population in Southern Maryland's wooded and grassy areas, we offer a complimentary application of a vet-recommended, all-natural tick repellent spray as an add-on to any grooming service. We also carry and can apply premium topical preventatives for sale. Our groomers are trained to do a thorough tick check during the grooming process and will alert you to any findings.

Do you require proof of specific vaccinations, like the Canine Influenza Virus (CIV), which has had outbreaks in Maryland, for grooming appointments?

For the safety of all pets in our care, we require proof of Rabies and DAPP (Distemper/Parvo) vaccinations as a minimum. While the Canine Influenza Virus (CIV) vaccine is not mandatory, we strongly recommend it due to documented cases in Maryland and the communal nature of grooming facilities. We can provide a list of local veterinarians in Waldorf or White Plains who offer the CIV vaccine.
