Discover a place where grooming is a relaxing experience rather than a chore. At Howie's Graceful Grooming, Jessica provides tailored care plans for every dog, ensuring their physical and emotional health are always respected.
Your pup's comfort and safety will always come first. These gentle guidelines help me provide every dog with a calm, clean, and positive one-on-one grooming experience.
Current rabies and Bordetella vaccinations are required for all grooming appointments. The distemper vaccine is strongly recommended. Please provide vaccination records and tell me about any medical conditions, allergies, medications, recent illnesses, injuries, or changes in behavior so I can provide the safest care possible.
Because each appointment is reserved especially for one pup, please provide at least 24 hours' notice when cancelling or rescheduling. Repeated last-minute cancellations or missed appointments may require a deposit before booking again.
Please tell me about any anxiety, fear, biting, snapping, aggression, seizures, breathing problems, or past grooming difficulties. This does not automatically mean I cannot groom your dog. It simply helps me prepare and choose the safest approach.
Severe matting can be painful and may hide skin irritation or sores. When brushing would cause unnecessary discomfort, a shorter haircut may be required. Additional charges may apply when extra time and care are needed.
If your pup becomes overly stressed, tired, uncomfortable, or medically unsafe during grooming, I may modify or stop the service. Your dog's well-being will always be more important than achieving a perfect haircut.
Thank you for helping me keep Howie's Graceful Grooming a safe and peaceful place where every pup is treated with patience, compassion, and grace.
I'd love to meet your pup
