Frequently Asked Questions

At Peachy Clean Cutz, your pet enjoys a private, one-on-one spa experience inside our luxury mobile salon — never an assembly line, never long kennel waits.

While traditional salons often keep pets 4–6 hours (and may charge an additional fee for expedited or express service), your companion receives immediate, uninterrupted attention from start to finish.

Bath Spa Experiences: 30 minutes to 2 hours

Full Luxury Spa Experiences Including Haircuts: 1 to 2 hours

Each appointment is thoughtfully tailored to your pet’s needs. 

Timing may vary based on services selected, coat condition, size, breed, and temperament. 

Most importantly, I always work at your pet’s pace — because comfort comes before the clock.

We provide estimated prices for all our spa services, except  add-ons, quick services, and special promotions.

Pricing reflects the time and care invested in pampering your beloved pet, from the moment they arrive at the spa to the final finishing touches!

Our services are categorized by type and organized by size, but please note that several factors influence the overall cost. 

Because of the variations among dog/cat breeds and coat types, we cannot assign a standard price solely based on size or breed. For instance, two dogs/cats of the same breed and weight might have entirely different coats, coat lengths, weights, and temperaments. The final cost will be determined upon completion of the grooming service.

Feline Grooming, Thoughtfully Refined

Entrusting someone with your cat requires a different level of trust.

As a certified professional cat groomer with over 18 years of experience, I understand that cat grooming requires the highest level of patience, intuition and a deep respect for their nature.

Many cat parents wonder:

“How will you handle my cat?”

“What if they’re too anxious?”

“What if it’s too stressful?”

Those concerns are valid. Cats are perceptive, environment-driven, and deeply individual. They deserve a grooming experience designed with that in mind.

My approach is calm, measured, and rooted in behavioral understanding. 

I work intentionally and respectfully, adjusting to each cat’s temperament and comfort level.

With extensive training in feline behavior, skin health, and coat science, I provide structured, low-stress grooming tailored to your cat’s unique needs.

Over the years, I have successfully worked with:

• Timid or anxious cats

• Senior cats requiring gentle handling

• Cats new to professional grooming

• Long-haired breeds prone to matting

• Short-haired cats with heavy shedding cycles

Very few cats are beyond help when they are handled with quiet confidence and experience.

✨ The Cat Express Experience,

A Refined Introduction ✨

Also great for in-between full spa services

For proper Introductions, and those who feel unsure about scheduling a full spa appointment, we offer Cat Express — a thoughtfully designed introductory experience created specifically for first timers,  sensitive kitties and cautious owners.

This is not a rushed mini-groom.

It is a calm, structured first impression.

Cat Express allows us to:

• Gently meet and assess your cat in a quiet, controlled environment

• Evaluate coat condition and skin health

• Observe temperament and comfort level

• Address your personal concerns in detail

• Introduce grooming gradually and appropriately

For many cats, this soft introduction builds the trust needed for future appointments.

For many owners, it provides reassurance and clarity.

Because first impressions matter — especially to a cat.

The Importance of Professional Feline Grooming

Even the most independent cats benefit from structured, professional care.

Coat Preservation & Mat Prevention

Long-haired cats require consistent maintenance to prevent painful tangles and matting that can compromise skin integrity. Preventative grooming is always kinder — and far less stressful — than corrective shaving.

Short-haired cats benefit from routine brushing that removes loose undercoat, supports healthy oil distribution, and enhances coat texture and shine.

Proper coat maintenance preserves both comfort and appearance.

⸻

Shedding & Hairball Management

Excess loose fur often leads to hairballs, digestive discomfort, and increased shedding in the home. Professional grooming removes coat at the source, significantly reducing ingestion and improving overall cleanliness.

⸻

Refined Hygiene Care

Professional feline grooming includes essential services that are often difficult to perform safely at home:

• Nail trimming

• Ear cleansing

• Eye care

• Sanitary maintenance

These quiet but important details support long-term wellness and prevent avoidable discomfort.

⸻

A Higher Standard of Feline Care

Feline grooming should never feel chaotic, rushed, or unpredictable.

It should feel structured. Calm. Intentional.

Every cat who enters our care is handled with patience, awareness, and respect. 

Your concerns are welcomed, your questions are encouraged, and your cat’s wellbeing and safety always remains the priority from start to finish. 

We recommend scheduling a puppy's first “bath spa” or "tidy trim" after they have received at least two sets of puppy vaccinations, typically between 6-12 weeks of age depending on the breeder or veterinarian's guidance. This early introduction to grooming is beneficial for several reasons.

Why Early Puppy Grooming is Beneficial

Early grooming plays a crucial role in preparing puppies for lifelong comfort with grooming processes. Here are some key advantages:

- Reduces Stress: Starting grooming early helps puppies become accustomed to the process, reducing stress and anxiety associated with grooming as they grow older

- Promotes Good Habits: Regular grooming from a young age encourages good behavior and helps maintain the health of their coat, preventing matting and tangling

- Prevents Complications: Introducing grooming early can prevent complications such as coat imbalances that may occur if a double-coated dog is groomed improperly 

By beginning grooming early, after the necessary vaccinations, you can set the stage for an stress-free and enjoyable grooming experience for your puppy.

HOW CAN YOU PREPARE YOUR PUPPY FOR HIS/HER FIRST SPA DAY ?

1.) Get Them Used to Handling: Spend time gently handling your puppy’s paws, ears, and tail at home. This will help them acclimate to being touched and groomed.

3.) Introduce Grooming Tools: Show your puppy the grooming tools (like brushes and combs) and let them sniff and investigate. Use treats to create positive associations with these items.

4.) Create a Routine: Establish a regular grooming routine at home. Brush your puppy’s coat, check their ears, and toes so they become accustomed to the process.

5.) Short Sessions: Keep the grooming sessions short and positive. Focus on a few minutes of brushing and then reward your puppy with treats and praise to encourage good behavior.

6.) Exercise Before the Appointment: Give your puppy plenty of exercise before their grooming appointment to help burn off any excess energy, making them calmer during the session.

7.) Potty: Take your puppy for a potty break just before the appointment to ensure they’re comfortable and lessen the likelihood of accidents.

8.) Be Patient and Calm: Your puppy can sense your emotions, so stay calm and patient while giving your puppy to the groomer. This will help them feel secure and relaxed.

9.) Celebrate! : After the grooming session, celebrate the experience with praise and a little extra playtime or a special treat, reinforcing that grooming is a positive activity! 

OUR APPROACH TO PUPPY GROOMING:

At Peachy Clean Cutz, we prioritize your puppy’s comfort, safety, and long-term well-being. Unless medically necessary, we do NOT recommend giving first-time puppies a full body haircut. We believe it's crucial to treat the first one or two grooming sessions as introductory visits to ensure your puppy becomes comfortable with the grooming process.

A puppy’s first grooming visit is a significant learning experience involving numerous new stimuli, including:

• Loud and unfamiliar sounds (dryers, clippers)
• New smells and environment
• Standing on a grooming table
• Being gently restrained
• Having their face, feet, ears, and body handled by someone new

For a young puppy, this can be overwhelming. Asking them to tolerate a full haircut during their first visit can create fear, stress, or anxiety, which can lead to lasting trauma. Since grooming is an essential part of their lives, making this experience positive and trust-building is our priority.

Instead, a puppy’s first grooming focuses on:

• Gentle bathing and drying
• Light brushing and combing
• Face, feet, and sanitary trimming (as tolerated)
• Nail trimming and ear cleaning
• Getting comfortable with the grooming process

This gradual introduction helps puppies build confidence and learn that grooming is safe, allowing them to develop trust with their groomer. Puppies who start this way typically grow into calmer, happier adult dogs during grooming appointments.

By prioritizing your puppy’s emotional comfort now, we set them up for a lifetime of successful, stress-free grooming. Thank you for your understanding and partnership in what’s best for your puppy!

At Peachy Clean Cutz, we do not offer anal gland expression as part of our grooming services. 

Here are some important reasons why we have made this decision:

1. Natural Expression: Many dogs naturally express their anal glands during normal bowel movements. Healthy stools help facilitate this process, meaning that if your dog has regular, healthy poops, they are likely expressing their anal glands as intended.

2. Potential Risks: Anal gland expression can lead to complications if not done properly. Untrained individuals may inadvertently cause irritation or injury to the anal area, which can lead to discomfort, pain, or infections. Additionally, expressing the anal glands unnecessarily may weaken the gland muscles over time, making it more difficult for dogs to express their own glands. This can create a cycle where dogs become reliant on expression, leading to more frequent needs for manual intervention.

3. Veterinary Expertise: If your dog is exhibiting signs of anal gland issues—such as discomfort, frequent licking, or changes in stool consistency—it’s crucial to consult a veterinarian. A vet can provide a thorough examination and determine if there is an underlying condition, such as impaction or infection, that requires treatment.

4. Safety First: Our priority is the health and well-being of your pet. By referring potential anal gland issues to a qualified veterinarian, we ensure that your dog receives the best possible care and attention.

If you notice any unusual behaviors in your dog or have concerns about their anal glands or overall health, please consult your veterinarian. They can provide guidance tailored specifically to your pet's needs.

At Peachy Clean Cutz, maintaining a pristine, elevated spa environment for every guest is one of our highest priorities. For the safety and comfort of all pets in our care, we uphold strict sanitation standards.

If Fleas Are Discovered -

If live fleas are found during your pet’s appointment, a mandatory de-flea service will be performed immediately so grooming may continue safely and hygienically.

This service is an additional $10–$25, depending on pet size and level of infestation.

Our de-flea service removes all live fleas present on your pet at the time of the appointment.

⸻

Preventative -

We do not apply flea or tick prevention products.

Our service addresses live fleas present during the visit only. Ongoing prevention must be purchased separately through your veterinarian or local pet retailer. Consistent, veterinarian-recommended prevention is strongly encouraged to avoid reinfestation.

⸻

Why Home Care Matters -

Fleas have a multi-stage life cycle (egg, larva, pupa, adult). While adult fleas live on pets, eggs and immature stages fall into carpets, bedding, and furniture — where they can continue developing and later reinfest your pet.

For complete elimination, environmental care is essential:

• Frequent, thorough vacuuming

• Washing pet bedding in hot water and high heat

• Maintaining consistent preventative care

Without proper home treatment, reinfestation is common due to the flea life cycle continuing within the environment.

While your dog could be shedding for specific reasons such as seasonal changes, health issues, age, or pregnancy, ALL HEALTHY DOGS SHED, and we are happy to help with that! 

We can perform a de-shed service; however, this will only remove the hair that is ready to be let go at that time.

Shedding is the natural process of discarding old hair (or coat) while making way for new growth. There is no way to completely stop it. It's also important to note that if shedding hair remains on the skin, it may cause skin problems because the skin cannot breathe. This is similar to a matted coat; once this happens, issues such as hot spots, dandruff, and itching can occur.

Dogs have fragile skin compared to humans, and they need their hair (or coat) to protect their skin. Unless medically necessary, we avoid performing extreme short haircuts on any breeds.

At Peachy Clean Cutz, health and wellbeing are extremely important, and for this reason, we will never shave down any double-coated dogs (unless medically necessary). Their coats serve as barriers, protecting against external elements. Shaving double-coated dogs can cause alopecia, disrupt temperature regulation, and expose them to health complications.
