High Tailin' It Pet Grooming

Typically for a small to medium dog, grooming can take up to an one to two hours. For larger dogs, grooms can take an two to three hours.  Timing also does depend on breeds, coat condition, and pet behavior.

 It is good to have your puppy become familiar with grooming as early as possible after the first set of puppy shots, usually 12-16 weeks of age. This will help him learn at an early age that grooming is a pleasant experience.  

 To maintain a proper / manageable coat for non-shedding breeds such as Poodles, Bichons, Shih Tzus, Lhasa Apsos, Terriers, you should have your dog groomed every 4-6 weeks. If they are kept in a very short cut, these breeds may be able to go 8-10 weeks. Breeds that have short, shedding coats can usually wait 8-12 weeks between grooming appointments, as long as they are brushed regularly at home.  

We require all dogs to have up-to-date vaccinations to come into the storefront for grooming, sleepovers, and playdates.  The vaccinations we require are Bordetella, rabies, and DHPP.   Cats must have their FVRCP/FDRC and Rabies vaccinations.  Vaccination records can be emailed to us at HighTailinIt@yahoo.com or texted to 904-521-9273.
