When A La Carte Makes Sense
A La Carte services aren’t just for dogs who don’t need a full groom — they’re for pet owners who want targeted care without committing to a complete package. Here are some of the most common scenarios where going a la carte is the right call:
Between full grooms — If your dog gets a full grooming appointment every 6–8 weeks but their nails start clicking on the floor at week four, a standalone nail trim keeps them comfortable without waiting for the next full session.
Specific nail concerns — Dogs that walk primarily on soft surfaces like carpet or grass don’t naturally wear their nails down the way dogs on pavement do. If your dog’s nails are curling or catching, a nail trim and filing appointment addresses the issue directly.
Face and eye area maintenance — Some breeds — especially Doodles, Shih Tzus, and Bichons — develop fur around the eyes that can interfere with vision or cause irritation well before their next full groom is due. A face trim handles this quickly and safely.
Post-surgery or health situations — Dogs recovering from illness or surgery may not be ready for a full grooming session. A la carte lets us address the most urgent needs — sanitary trim, paw pad cleanup — without the stress of a longer appointment.
First-time grooming for anxious dogs — For dogs who are new to grooming or particularly anxious, starting with a single a la carte service like a nail trim is a great way to build trust with the groomer before working up to a full session.
Combine with Any Package
A La Carte services are great on their own, but they’re also an easy way to round out a Brush and Bath or Full Grooming session with something specific. Just let your groomer know when you book, and they’ll build it into the appointment. If you find yourself regularly adding multiple a la carte services, upgrading to a full package is almost always better value — your groomer can walk you through the options when they arrive.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is there a $45 minimum for a la carte services?
The minimum fee covers the cost of bringing our fully equipped mobile van to your location, including fuel, water, and setup time. This ensures we can provide the same high-quality, professional experience even for smaller services.
Can I combine a la carte services?
Yes! You can combine any a la carte services together. If you find yourself needing several services, a Brush and Bath or Full Grooming package may be a better value.
