Most common inquiries from our valued clients to ensure you have all the information you need before and during your visit to Prissie Doos Grooming Salon.
How long will my dog’s grooming appointment take?
Grooming times vary depending on your dog’s size, coat condition, and temperament. I always prioritize comfort and quality over speed and will provide an estimated time frame when you book your appointment.

What should I inform you about before my appointment?

What kind of products do you use?

How far in advance should I book?
Advance booking is recommended. This helps ensure you get your preferred time slot.
Is grooming just about looks?
One of the most common misunderstandings is that grooming is purely cosmetic. In reality, regular grooming plays a vital role in a dog’s health and comfort, helping prevent matting, skin irritation, infections, and nail-related discomfort.
Do all grooming appointments take the same amount of time?
Another misconception is that all grooming appointments take the same amount of time. Grooming duration varies significantly based on a dog’s coat type, condition, size, and temperament. At Prissie Doos Salon, we never rush a groom — your dog’s comfort and safety always come first.
Can matted fur always be brushed out?
Many pet owners are also surprised to learn that matting cannot always be safely brushed out and may require careful trimming to prevent pain or skin damage. This is why consistent maintenance between appointments is so important.
Can nervous or older dogs be groomed comfortably?
Some believe nervous or older dogs cannot be groomed comfortably. With a gentle, patient, and personalized approach, most dogs can enjoy a calm and positive grooming experience when handled properly at Prissie Doos Salon.
