Frequently Asked Dog Grooming Questions

Dog grooming is the process of cleaning, hygiene maintenance, and appearance enhancement for dogs, which includes bathing, haircuts, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and addressing specific coat and skin needs.

It really depends on the situation, but most grooming sessions take 2-3 hours, depending on your dog's size, coat condition, and the services selected. We never rush the process to ensure a stress-free experience.

All dogs at Petropolis are required to have the following vaccinations:

  • Rabies
  • Distemper (DHPP)
  • Bordetella

Visit our vaccination policy page to learn more.

This varies by breed and coat type. Generally, dogs with continuously growing hair (like Poodles or Shih Tzus) benefit from grooming every 4-6 weeks, while short-haired breeds might need just quarterly visits. We'll help create the ideal schedule for your pet.

Absolutely! Our Pet Empowerment approach is perfect for anxious dogs. We can schedule longer appointments, take breaks as needed, and work gradually to build positive associations with grooming.
