Frequently Asked Questions

How do Missoula pet spas handle dogs that are anxious from nearby train noises or loud city events?

Many local groomers are accustomed to the unique sounds of Missoula, such as train whistles and events at Ogren Park. They often use calming techniques like white noise machines, pheromone diffusers, and positive reinforcement to keep your pet relaxed. It's best to inform your groomer of your pet's specific anxieties when you book the appointment so they can schedule for a quieter time or take extra precautions.

With Missoula's distinct seasons, what specific grooming services are recommended for winter versus summer?

For our harsh, snowy winters, we highly recommend a paw-friendly trim, moisturizing shampoos to combat dry skin, and a thorough blow-dry to prevent your pet from getting chilled. In the hot, dry summers, a de-shedding treatment is essential to remove the thick undercoat, along with a shorter, breezier cut and a paw pad shave to protect against hot pavement. Many local spas also offer a 'Paw Wax' service in winter to shield pads from ice-melting salts.

Do any pet spas in Missoula use water from the Clark Fork River for bathing, and how is water quality managed?

No reputable pet spa in Missoula uses untreated river water for grooming. All businesses use the city's municipal water supply, which is safe and treated. However, many groomers offer specialty, all-natural or oatmeal-based shampoos that are particularly effective at soothing skin irritated from your dog's swims in the Clark Fork River's sometimes alkaline or silty water.

Are there mobile pet grooming services that can come to neighborhoods with limited parking, like the University District or downtown Missoula?

Yes, there are mobile groomers serving Missoula that are adept at navigating and parking in tighter neighborhoods. They typically require you to reserve a dedicated parking spot (like in your driveway or a pre-arranged curbside space) for their van. It's advisable to book well in advance, as their schedules fill up quickly, especially in areas where off-street parking is a challenge.

What is your protocol for checking pets for foxtails and ticks after a grooming appointment, especially after they've been on local trails?

Our groomers perform a thorough post-grooming check, paying close attention to paws, ears, and dense fur where foxtails and ticks commonly hide. We know that Missoula's trails, like those on Mount Sentinel or in the North Hills, are prime areas for these hazards. We will notify you immediately if we find any and can advise on local veterinary care if removal is complex. We recommend a grooming visit shortly after a big hiking adventure for this exact reason.
