Full Service Grooming
(Not available at Point Isabel)
Full Service Grooming at Mudpuppy's includes an array of detailed services to get your pup looking and feeling tip-top.
At Mudpuppy’s, we groom in full view, and without the use of cage dryers.
A full groom begins with a brush out, nail trim, ear cleaning and anal gland expression (if needed).
We then perform a wash, followed by a brush & blowout. We next move on to a facial hair trim, paw trim, sanitary trim, and then a full haircut to your specifications.
Rates start at:
$65 Small/Puppy, $79 Medium, $89 Large,
$119 X-Large*
Teeth brush, add $10
Add $10 for Dremel technique on nails.
Hand-stripping available. A.Q. Please call for information.
Grooming your Puppy
Your puppy’s first groom is handled slightly differently than our regular grooms, and there are a few things we want to point out.
First, your puppy must be completely up to date with vaccinations. Proceeding with a groom prior to your pup having all vaccinations is quite hazardous to your new best friend, so this is an important consideration.
Your pup might be nervous or frightened of the grooming area upon your first visit, so we take extra time to get your pup comfortable and tail-wagging before we begin the groom. This might include our groomer having a “chat” with your pup, some “quiet time” just sitting together, and maybe a treat or two (with your permission). Once your pup is happy and ready to go, it’s time to get started with a nice warm bath!
Finally, it’s important to understand that, in some instances, your pup will get bored and begin fidgeting during grooming. When this happens, we pull back to keep your pup safe, and do our best to calm the situation. For some puppies, when they’ve had enough, they’ve had enough! In these cases, we stop the groom, and we’ll schedule a follow-up for your pup, which will likely go much more smoothly
Because of these factors, there is a chance your pup will not be groomed, is only partially groomed, or has an uneven patch here or there, all simply because your puppy wasn’t “in the mood” today. As always, we do our very best, but we ultimately defer to your pup’s best interests and safety.
*A Word on Pricing
Please note that the prices quoted here represent the average based on experience, and are hence usually correct. That said, we cannot quote you a firm price until we actually meet and get a good look at your pup’s size, coat condition and fully understand your specific requirements prior to a groom. In some cases, the price may be less than listed here, sometimes more. An example of a lower charge would be your pup only needing a face trim and light clean-up. An example of an extra surcharge being applied would be for severe matting that would cause your pup’s groom to take longer than expected.
Ultimately, your pup's expert care, comfort and perfect groom are what matters most. And, all of our services are covered by our Pup-Perfect™ 100% Guarantee.
