Grooming is by appointment only; we do not accept any walk-in clients. If you don't have an appointment, one will be made for you, and you will have to come back at the scheduled time.

Cancellations within 24 hours and no-shows result in an automatic $50 fee.
After two no-shows, a 50% payment will be required when booking again, or we will not schedule you again.

We take before and after pictures of our work to use on our business and social media pages. A consent form will be provided at your first grooming appointment. You will have the option to consent or deny this.

Our grooming prices are a starting point for standard grooming of a pet in good condition. Please be aware that additional charges may be incurred for extra circumstances that include but are not limited to matting, fleas, and poor temperament. If we find your pet needs services beyond a standard groom, we will contact you to discuss the additional costs before these services are done.
We reserve the right to turn away any pet, for any reason, at any time
CCEG reserves the right to turn away any client that does not comply with these policies.
If you receive our voicemail, it means we are pampering someone's baby! Be assured, we will get back to you as soon as possible.
