Pricing

We offer a variety of grooming services tailored to your pet's needs.

Our prices vary by size and breed. Please call us at (813) 677-3100 for a custom quote or to schedule your pet's grooming appointment. Special breeds, such as poodle mixes, and specific coat conditions, like severe matting, may incur an additional charge. We also offer grooming services for cats, depending on their behavior.

Please note that dual appointments (vet appointments and grooming) are only available upon request and are dependent on the reason for the visit.

Our groomer performs all services to the best of her ability. If services cannot be rendered due to pet aggression or unwillingness, we will not force your pet to undergo the planned treatment. Our office will notify you of any services that could not be completed before you pick up your pet. While you will not be charged for services not performed, our groomer will offer suggestions to help lessen your pet’s apprehension toward their next grooming appointment.

We look forward to providing your pet with an exceptional grooming experience!

What is a Pet Care Plan?

It’s a preventive care package that includes your pet’s essential yearly healthcare needs at a discounted rate helping you budget and keep your pet healthy year-round. It is a 12-month contract that will auto-renew. Clients are asked to speak with staff for more information about the contract.

What’s included?

Annual exam, bi-annual wellness exam, core vaccines, 12 months of flea/heartworm/tick/intestinal parasite prevention, and routine bloodwork once or twice a year (depending on the plan chosen).

What pets can join?

Dogs and cats aged 6 weeks and older! We offer Junior Plans (under 6 years) and Senior Plans (6 years and up).

Why are there different plans for juniors and seniors?

As pets age, their health needs change. Senior pets may require extra screenings to catch issues early — which is why those plans may include additional bloodwork and monitoring.

How much can I save?

Up to $170 per year depending on the plan — plus the value of early disease detection is priceless!

Do I have to pay upfront?

No! Plans are billed in easy monthly installments so you can spread out costs instead of paying everything at once.

Does this replace pet insurance?

These plans focus on preventive care (vaccines, testing, prevention). Pet insurance helps with unexpected illness or injury. Many pet parents choose to have both for full coverage.

What if my pet already has flea/tick or heartworm prevention?

Great! We’ll align your Pet Care Plan products with what your pet is already using or you can switch to what we recommend.

Can I share the plan benefits between pets?

Benefits are specific to each enrolled pet and cannot be shared.

What if I miss an appointment?

No worries, just reschedule! Your credits and services remain on your account for the contract year.

Does the plan auto-renew?

Yes, just to make sure your pet doesn’t miss any important care. We’ll always notify you ahead of time so you can make changes if needed.

Can I cancel?

You can cancel anytime! If used services exceeded payments made, the difference would simply be due at cancellation.

What types of bloodwork are included?

We include the level of testing appropriate for your pet’s age — helping detect early signs of kidney disease, liver issues, diabetes, and more.

  • Junior Cat: Jr Wellness Bloodwork (includes Fecal and FeLV/FIV Test)
  • Senior Cat: Sr Wellness Bloodwork (includes Fecal and FeLV/FIV Test) and Comprehensive Wellness Bloodwork
  • Junior Dog: Jr Wellness Bloodwork (includes Fecal and Heartworm Test)
  • Senior Dog: Sr Wellness Bloodwork (includes Fecal and Heartworm Test) and Comprehensive Wellness Bloodwork

What are the optional add-ons?

Optional add-ons for cats and dogs are:

  • Feline/Canine Dental: available on both Junior and Senior plans
  • Feline/Canine Spay: Junior Plan only
  • Feline/Canine Neuter: Junior Plan only

Are there any other perks?

Yes, the plan includes 10% Discounts on services (excludes grooming) and unlimited FREE NAIL TRIMS
