Frequently Asked Questions

Cage-free means your dog is never shut away in a crate while waiting for or recovering from grooming. Instead, dogs are free to roam, rest and socialize in a calm, supervised space. This relaxed environment keeps stress low and tails wagging from check-in to pick-up.

We have two New Jersey salons. Our Toms River location is at 1071 Route 37 — call (732) 400-2990. Our East Brunswick location is at 98A Main Street — call (732) 301-0055. Both offer the same gentle, cage-free grooming experience.

Pricing varies by your dog's breed, size and coat condition, since every groom is tailored to the individual pet. You can see starting prices on our Services page. We're always happy to give you a quote — just call your nearest location and ask.
