Bathing, brushing or trimming before pickup can make the return home more pleasant, especially after active days in the yards.

Why combine grooming with boarding

Dogs that enjoy yards, play and movement sometimes need a coat refresh before going home. Grooming before pickup helps them return clean, comfortable and easier to handle.

Care should match coat type, age and skin condition. Not every dog needs a haircut, but most dogs benefit from proper brushing and a gentle check.

Book in advance

It is best to schedule bathing or trimming when booking the stay, especially during busy periods. This helps the team plan the care without crowding pickup day.
