A typical grooming appointment will last anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the services you request. When you drop your dog off, the groomer will give them a thorough brushing and combing to remove any knots or tangles. They will then proceed to wash and condition your dog’s coat, trim their nails, clean their ears and express their anal glands (if requested). Finally, they will give your pup a nice blow dry before handing them back over to you.
