Pricing follows your dog's weight and coat type, checked at every visit, so you get an honest quote before we begin—never a flat rate or a surprise charge.
No—we're appointment only. New DeForest and Windsor clients start with a quick application, and a card holds the booking. Short on time? Call us—when the calendar has an opening, we'll do our best to fit you in. Keeping our days small means real attention for every dog that makes the drive.
Bring current Rabies, Distemper/DHPP, and Bordetella records. We weigh your dog, assess the coat, and set the plan together before starting—then 2 to 4 unhurried hours, and home they go clean and happy.
Full-service grooming: Bath and Brush, full breed-specific grooms, de-shedding and deep cleans, nail trims, and tidy-up add-ons—everything your dog's coat and breed call for.
Yes to both. Puppies can begin at 12 weeks after their first shots, and we take it slow with nervous dogs—patience is how we work. Big or small, mellow or shy, every DeForest and Windsor dog gets expert care.
