Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to groom my pet?
Well that all depends on what kind of pet you have and condition in which the pet is in. It can take as little as 20 minutes and as long as 2 hours. When you call the time can be better determined.
How much does it cost for you to groom my pet?
You can check out our service page or call us for an accurate price.
Does it cost extra for you to come to my pet and I?
Yes, the convenience of us coming to you is already included in the grooming price.
Do you do large dogs?
Yes, we can do large breeds. We ask if larger then 80 lbs. that the owner be home just in case we need assistance.
Should I tip the groomer?
It is not required but is appreciated.
Do you use sedatives?
No, we do not use sedatives. Sedatives make the pet unpredictable and a lot of times mobile grooming will calm the pet down so sedatives are not needed.
Do you do aggressive pets?
No we do not do aggressive pets. We will try to do the pet one time. If the pet is uncontrollable we will let you know that we are unable to groom your pet.
Do you baby sit pets?
4 Paws and a Tail doesn't pet sit at this time. But we can suggest a kennel.
My pet has medical problems like arthritis, torn ligaments that have had surgery and so forth. Can you recommend anything to help my pet with the pain?
Yes, try Paddling Paws which is a pet water therapy in Ladson. She's the only one in town and you would be amazed at how it will help your dog. I also take my pets there!
How often should I have my pet groomed?
That depends on the type of pet you have but it is usually recommended every 4 to 8 weeks.
Should I schedule my appointment while you are here at my home or call?
It is recommended that you should schedule your next appointment the day that we are there. Our appointments fill fast and "right then" appointments are not usually available.
Do you groom cats?
Yes, we do groom cats. We can give them hair cuts to your specifications or just give them a bath. Just like we do our doggie clients.
