Clip & Dip Grooming and Boarding
About Clip & Dip Grooming and Boarding
We are a family owned and operated business, and have been doing this for 23 years. My wife, daughter, and I all love animals and have many pets ourselves, including chickens, pigeons, goats, dogs, cats, fish, and even a pot belly'd pig. We really love what we do and your dog will love coming to see us. Being small means we get to know most of the dogs on a personal level. Give us a try, you won't be disappointed.

I brought my dog Charlie to be boarded from a Thurs-Sunday. I was able to call and they gave me updates on him while I was gone. They emphasized how cute Charlie is and assured me he was a favorite among staff and gave him a lot of attention. It seems like a small, family owned company and they seemed to really care for my dog. They have limited windows for pick up/drop off but I would happily work around the limitation and bring him back again. Charlie was so happy and excited when I picked him up and I can tell he had a good experience. Everyone was very friendly.
I have been taking Sophie to Clip and Dip for a while, the price is right and I am happy with the job they do.
Today was our first experience withClip and Dip Grooming- it was a wonderful experience! Instantly felt at ease with Anne and Allison and Madigan’s cut was super cute! Thank you
My dog, Nova, loves staying here when we go out of town and cannot take her. As soon as we get to the round about nearby she gets excited. We know she is well taken care of here.
We have taken our dogs here for many years and have always been pleased with the results of their gooming. We also have boarded our dogs there on many occasions and they always become back healthy and happy.

Call to BookFrequently Asked Questions About Cat Grooming
What should I expect during a professional cat grooming session?
A typical professional cat grooming session usually begins with a consultation to discuss your cat's needs. The groomer will then examine your cat's coat and skin condition before proceeding with services like brushing to remove loose fur, bathing with cat-specific shampoo, blow-drying, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and any specialized haircuts if needed. Most sessions take between 1-2 hours depending on your cat's coat condition and temperament.
How should I prepare my cat for a grooming appointment?
To prepare your cat for grooming, brush them at home a few days before to remove loose fur and minor tangles. Keep your cat in a secure carrier for transportation. Arrive a few minutes early to complete paperwork and allow your cat time to adjust to the new environment. Bring information about your cat's health, temperament, and any areas they're sensitive about. For anxious cats, consider withholding food for 2-3 hours before the appointment to reduce the risk of stress-related nausea.
Why is professional cat grooming important?
Professional cat grooming is important for several reasons: it reduces shedding and hairballs, prevents painful matting, allows early detection of skin issues or parasites, keeps your cat's coat healthy and shiny, reduces dander (helpful for allergy sufferers), and maintains proper hygiene. Professional groomers have specialized tools, products, and techniques to safely handle cats, even those with behavioral challenges. Regular grooming also helps cats become more comfortable with handling, which is beneficial for veterinary visits.
How often should my cat be professionally groomed?
The frequency of professional grooming depends on your cat's coat type, length, and lifestyle. Long-haired breeds like Persians typically need grooming every 4-6 weeks to prevent matting. Medium-haired cats may need grooming every 6-8 weeks, while short-haired cats might only need professional attention every 8-12 weeks or during seasonal shedding periods. Cats with special conditions like obesity or arthritis that prevent self-grooming may need more frequent appointments. Your groomer can recommend an appropriate schedule based on your cat's specific needs.
What's the difference between cat and dog grooming?
Cat grooming differs significantly from dog grooming. Cats have more sensitive skin, requiring gentler handling and cat-specific products. Their grooming sessions are typically shorter to minimize stress. Cats often need specialized restraint techniques and quieter environments. Cat groomers use different tools designed for feline coats and are trained to recognize signs of stress unique to cats. Cat-only grooming facilities eliminate the anxiety many cats experience around dogs, creating a more comfortable experience for your feline friend.
