Dog Grooming FAQ – Highland, CA

We do accept walk-ins; however, availability can vary depending on how busy we are that day. To ensure we can accommodate your pet without delays, we strongly recommend calling ahead before coming in.

Scheduling in advance allows us to plan for your dog’s specific grooming needs and provide the best possible service.

We provide dog grooming services for all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether you have a small lap dog, a large breed, or a mixed breed, our experienced team is equipped to handle their grooming needs.

• Every 4–6 weeks: For long-haired or high-maintenance coats
