Requirements

Dogs must be current on their Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella vaccines. Proof of vaccination is required and can be sent to arborviewah@gmail.com or faxed to 219-763-9425. If you don’t have current vaccinations for your pet don’t worry. Our veterinarians can examine your pet and update their vaccines. An appointment must be scheduled and vaccines updated prior to grooming.

We want your fur baby to have a spa day while they are boarding with us. Ask us at boarding check-in how you can pamper your pooch while they vacation with us or schedule a spa session when you book your pet’s boarding reservation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should my dog be groomed?

The ideal grooming schedule depends on your pet’s breed, coat type, lifestyle, and individual needs. Many dogs benefit from professional grooming every 6–8 weeks to keep their coat healthy and free of tangles. Short-haired breeds may require grooming less frequently but can still benefit from regular bathing, brushing, nail trims, and skin-conditioning treatments. Routine grooming helps maintain healthy skin and coat while keeping your pet comfortable and looking their best.

What vaccines are required for grooming appointments?

For the safety of all pets in our care, dogs receiving grooming services must be current on Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella vaccinations.

Proof of vaccination can be:

Emailed to arborviewah@gmail.com

Faxed to 219-763-9425

If your dog is not current on vaccines, our on-site veterinary team can help. A wellness appointment should be scheduled prior to grooming so required vaccines can be updated before your pet’s grooming appointment.

What is included in a full grooming appointment?

A full grooming appointment typically includes:

  • Bath and shampoo
  • Blow dry
  • Brush out
  • Haircut and styling (when applicable)
  • Nail trim
  • Ear cleaning

For pets that do not require a haircut, our full-service bath package includes all the above services except the haircut.

What is a Shed-Less Shampoo & Conditioner treatment?

Our Shed-Less Shampoo & Conditioner treatment helps reduce loose undercoat and excess shedding while supporting coat health and comfort. This treatment is especially popular for heavy-shedding breeds and seasonal coat changes.

Do you groom doodles and high-maintenance coats?

Yes. Our grooming team has experience working with a wide variety of breeds and coat types, including doodles and other high-maintenance coats requiring regular maintenance and coat care.

Do you groom puppies?

Yes. We offer introductory grooming visits designed to help puppies gradually become comfortable with the grooming process in a calm and positive environment.

Can senior pets be groomed?

Yes. We routinely groom senior pets and tailor the grooming experience to their individual needs. Our team takes extra care with older pets and may recommend shorter or split appointments to help keep them comfortable.

What if my dog has mats?

Matting severity can vary greatly between pets and coat types. Additional dematting fees may apply depending on the amount of matting, coat condition, and time required for safe and humane grooming.

How do I schedule a grooming appointment?

To schedule a grooming appointment, please call, text, or contact our team online. Our grooming department is available Monday through Saturday.

Do you offer nail dremeling?

Yes. Nail dremeling is available as an add-on service during grooming appointments.

Do you offer nail trim appointments?

Yes. If your pet only needs a nail trim, our groomers offer nail trim appointments as a separate service. Nail grinding (Dremel filing) may also be available following the trim to help smooth rough edges and provide a more polished finish. Please contact us for availability and pricing.

What if my dog is nervous about grooming?

Your pet’s comfort and safety are our top priorities. Our groomers work to create a calm, low-stress environment and use gentle handling techniques to help anxious pets feel more comfortable. For senior pets or those with anxiety, mobility concerns, or arthritis, grooming appointments may be divided into shorter sessions when appropriate to reduce stress and make the experience more comfortable.

How long does a grooming appointment take?

Grooming appointment times vary depending on your pet’s size, breed, coat condition, temperament, and the services being performed. Some pets may require additional time, particularly if breaks are needed to ensure a comfortable and positive grooming experience.

Why is professional grooming important?

Regular professional grooming does more than keep your pet looking great. It helps maintain healthy skin and coat, reduces shedding and matting, keeps nails at a healthy length, and allows grooming professionals to identify potential concerns such as skin irritation, lumps, bumps, or ear issues that may warrant veterinary attention.
