Frequently Asked Questions

With Minneapolis's harsh winters, do your groomers have specific experience with de-matting and washing off road salt and ice melt from my dog's paws and coat?

Yes, absolutely. Our groomers are experts in handling the specific challenges of Minneapolis winters. We use pet-safe, moisturizing shampoos that effectively wash away harmful road salt and ice melt, which can be drying and irritating. We are also skilled in safe de-matting techniques for coats that have become tangled from wearing sweaters or from the wet snow. We highly recommend a paw wax treatment, available as an add-on, to create a protective barrier against the elements during winter walks.

Are there any local Minneapolis ordinances or spa policies I should be aware of regarding rabies vaccination proof for my pet's grooming appointment?

Yes, this is an important requirement. Minneapolis does not have a specific city-wide ordinance just for grooming, but virtually all reputable pet spas in the city strictly require up-to-date rabies vaccination records for the safety of our staff and all pets. You will need to provide proof from your veterinarian, either via email, a physical copy, or through a patient portal, before or at your first appointment. We also recommend core vaccinations like DHPP and Bordetella.

My dog gets anxious with city noises. How do you handle pets with anxiety, especially those sensitive to the sounds of traffic and construction common in Minneapolis?

We understand this is a common concern for urban pets. Our spa is designed to be a calm oasis. We use sound-dampening materials in our grooming salons and often play soft, classical music to mask external city noises. For highly anxious dogs, we offer Fear-Free certified grooming techniques, which include slow introductions, positive reinforcement, and taking frequent breaks. We can also discuss options like having appointments during quieter hours. In some cases, we may recommend consulting your vet for mild sedatives for the groom, but this is always a last resort.

Given the prevalence of lakes and parks in Minneapolis, do you offer any special treatments to soothe my dog's skin after swimming in Lake Harriet or the Chain of Lakes?

We do! Swimming in our beautiful lakes can lead to dry, itchy skin due to minerals and algae. We offer a special "Lake Dog Rinse" which is an oatmeal-based, hypoallergenic bath treatment designed to neutralize lake residue, soothe irritation, and replenish natural skin oils. It's a perfect add-on service for active Minneapolis dogs. We also recommend our paw balm to protect pads from hot pavement and rough trails around the city's parks.

What is your policy for extreme weather days in Minneapolis, such as polar vortex conditions or severe summer storms, and how are appointment cancellations handled?

The safety of our clients and staff is our top priority. On days with extreme weather, such as a polar vortex with dangerous wind chills or a tornado warning, we may proactively reach out to reschedule appointments. We have a flexible cancellation policy for such events and do not charge a fee for weather-related cancellations. We encourage you to check our social media or call us if you are unsure. For your safety, we offer text or email reminders to help you plan accordingly for your appointment during Minnesota's unpredictable weather.
